He does often look like he has no interest in finishing a fight and is without question my least favourite UFC champion to watch.

 

Yeah I've gotta admit he's my least favourite too. Then again look who he's up against. Dos Santos, Jones, Anderson, Edgar, Aldo. Cruz' fights are usually exciting aswell.

 

GSP seems like a great bloke but it is a fact his fights have been pretty dull for a while now. The Fitch fight was the last one I really enjoyed, then he did force BJ to quit after that but he hasn't shown that kind of killer instinct since imo.

 

But like we said he's winning easily and until someone can force him into a struggle he will continue with the same approach.

 

It will be interesting to see how he looks coming off the layoff and knee surgery. If he's not careful with his recovery that could seriously fuck with his takedown ability and even open him up to re-injuring it.

 

Rousey just likes stirring the pot as Silky Kiss said. She's the best thing to happen in female MMA in years though, her fight against Meisha is the first female fight since Cyborg/Carano that i'm genuinely looking forward too.

 

Yeah I like Rousey's style, she's exactly what the women's division needs especially with Gina and Cyborg off the scene at the moment.

 

I suspect you're right about her stirring, especially after seeing her go all weak at the knees when she met Chael and then training with the Diaz brothers. She obviously digs them type of fighters who try to provoke a reaction. But she's got her facts all to cock if she's trying to say GSP is bad for MMA. She can't truly believe that even if she's not a fan of his fighting style.

I'm gonna try to catch that MFC show aswell. Usually enjoy them.

 

then other than that, on Saturday Badr Hari is taking part in his final ever Kickboxing match against Gokhan Saki for It's Showtime.

shows on HDNet too so i'll be getting that shit, with the crumbling of K-1 ive missed me some quality kickboxing.

 

Yeah I've missed it too. I'll be watching this for sure. Stacked with big names and fighters I love to watch. Hari deffo needs to look good here. He can't afford a loss against Saki if he wants to make the switch over to pro boxing with some momentum. And Saki is a badass so it could well happen.

George Sotiropolous is out of the 144 fight. Eiji Mitsuoka will step in and face Takanori Gomi instead.

 

Sucks for G-Sot, I think we was injured after the Dos Anjos fight in July so it's pretty shitty for this to happen. Mad to think he was pretty much knocking on the door of a title shot at the end of 2010 after a string of nice wins, but with 155 being so stacked he eventually got knocked off his perch by Siver. I thought the Gomi fight was winnable for him which could kick off his 2012. Bah.

Some hackers have just posted all Dana's personal details online, his phone number, social security number, home addresses, criminal record, vehicle details etc.

Wow Anonymous are really pissed at Dana

 

I had an odd feeling this video would probably get him into a lot of trouble

The whole "I'm not afraid of the internet" isn't the best approach to be taking

Fuck!!! I was seriously looking forward to that fight, major G-Sot fan here.

 

On the plus side, now Gomi can win to keep his UFC spot, and G-Sot can win another fight to keep his spot as well, I think that fight would have been a "loser leaves town". Maybe Dunham vs Sot in mid-year? This also throws a spanner in the works for the rumoured TUF: UK vs. Aus, had to think Sot was the frontrunner to coach.

Apparently they got the wrong Dana White who is a woman who lives in Las Vegas, she received over 500 phone calls in a day.
