Re: UFC 180: Werdum vs. Hunt (Nov/15) Both big winners to me, the moment Hunt made weight, he won. Cutting 40 in three weeks and prepping that quick, Hunt was a total champ the whole journey. Also, can't take anything away from Werdum, very technical knee. Thought he'd be all over Hunt anyways, so the fact Hunt dropped him like three times, both winners, what can I say.

Re: UFC 180: Werdum vs. Hunt (Nov/15) Agreed. Hunt doesn't see his stock drop from this very much if at all. Everyone wants to see him fight again.
Chad Mendes wants Ricardo Lamas next Easy fight to book, IMO. Makes sense for both fighters. Dunno where Bermudez goes from here. Should still be getting top-10 guys.

Re: Bellator 131: Tito vs. Bonnar (Nov/15) Hopefully Leslie Smith doesn't need to use that $10,000 to get a new ear.
That knee should have had 'good old JR, Jim Ross' calling that shot "Good gawd, it's the knee from hell! Hunt is down!! Hunt is down!"
