Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) Amazing KO by Wandy in the waning seconds of the fight!
Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) Cain showing off the stand up ability that his training partners said he had. Nasty KO.
Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) I guess Silva actually won by decision. Didn't pick up on that as I'm watching the card at work with the sound off. If he had another two seconds it would have been a TKO anyway lol. Cain-Dos Santos assuming Dos Santos gets by Gonzaga?
Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) Great fight, and the timing is good because Brock is out until the summer and the other contenders are mixed up with each other.
Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) I thought this was a very entertaining card and well worth buying. Feel a little sad for Nog who seems to just not be in the upper echelon anymore. He looked great against Randy but that is another story. Dunno what Wandy was waiting for. The first round was Bisping's, not by much, and the second round was a toss-up. The third could've gone either way until Wandy capped it well. Seemed tentative like when he fought Rampage--or maybe he's just being more patient now. George looked great. Big win for him. Stevenson's game continues to be predictable and one-dimensional. Shitty conclusion to the Bonnar/Soszynski fight. Should've been a no-contest. Jardine... starting to wonder if unorthodox = bad technique. Lytle's kneebar was nasty!

Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) Also, Cro Cop's performance was forgettable. He is just not the fighter he used to be.
Awesome night of fights. Velasquez was for real, felt bad for Nog though. I think Velasquez is ready for Lesnar. I was really impressed with him. Nogs career is on the down slope and it is sad. Will the UFC give him Cro Cop, now? Speaking of Cro Cop...dude is shot. A shell of his former self. Wanderlei waited way too long to engange and left the fight in the balance because of that. He could have finished Bisping of way sooner than that, I liked the new Wandy but it almost cost him. He needs to know when to turn it on like he did @ the end of round 3. Jardine's gimmick is getting old and people are catching on. Want to see a Soszynwhatever and Bonnar II. Hell of a fight.
^ That'll probably happen. The fight was great up until that point. Also, Cro Cop vs. Nog 2 sounds awesome. Makes sense for both fighters... though it is quite a leap in competition for Cro Cop.
Forgot to talk about Bitchping. As much as I hate him, I was impressed by him honestly. However, he couldn't keep Wandy down. I noticed he wasn't circling to his right all fight. Check my sig to see why. He looked better than I thought he would. Impressive effort, but I agree with the 29-28 score.
Yeah. Nog would kill him. Can't really think of any other matchups for Big Nog though. Maybe Kongo? Rothwell? Gonzaga? I'm not really excited about any of those fights.
Kongo is booked... Rothwell can get the fuck out as far as I'm concerned... Gonzaga is booked too. Sounds pretty reasonable to put Cro Cop up against Nog. They should both be motivated for a fight like that as well... hard to be for anything else.
Re: UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez (Feb. 20th) He is the shittiest. The fact that he and Bisping were both on the same card pissed me off. Stevenson is so god damn boring. Its a fucking guarantee that one fight will suck balls and be dragged on for far too long. At least with Bisping we get to see him get KTFO nasty every once in a while. We don't even get that satisfaction with Joe Daddy. We just have to watch him shitting all over the octagon for 15 minutes.
DW said Cro Cop will fight Rothwell. The winner of Carwin/Mir get first crack at Lesnar, UNLESS they are badly injured. Then Cain fights Brock. I would think the loser of Carwin/Mir would fight Big Nog.
I bet you anything Cain will get Lesnar, first, unless Mir or Carwin escape from their bout untouched. The fight is too close to Lesnar's return date. Velasquez will have ample time to be ready. Sexyama and Wanderlei being thrown around. Dana said Sexy wants Wandy, badly.
Goes without saying that Lytle will win the submission of the night bonus... probably a fair guess that Velasquez will get knockout and Silva/Bisping will get fight. Interesting sidenote: the club hosting Wanderlei's after party normally does gay night on Sundays... according to Bisping in the PFPC. Could make for an interesting night for The Axe Murderer.
