Some good stuff on 133. Despite all the injuries and shit leading up to it, it produced a pretty fun main card at least.

 

Rory MacDonald looked awesome. Aside from round 3 of the Condit fight he's been pretty much untouchable against some good fighters. Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Brian Ebersole actually after both their performances tonight.

 

Ebersole's GnP was fucking brutal. It's rare you see a guy go out cold from an elbow strike, especially from the guard. I thought Hallman would be too crafty for Ebersole but that was a hell of a pasting he took. Them little knickers were just plain wrong :confused:

 

Belfort/Akiyama went how most expected. Shame to see Akiyama put out like that but at the same time nice to see Vitor get back on track. Despite how the first fight went I think everyone would still like to see Vitor vs Anderson 2 at some point.

 

I'd love to see Akiyama get 1 more fight, if Hardy got one he should but it might be the end of him.

 

I've said before and I'll say it again, Akiyama vs Wanderlei on the Japan card next Feb. Last chance for both. It's perfect. It's time to do that fight imo.

 

Was chuffed Rashad won. As much as we all enjoyed Tito's bit of success last month, Rashad vs the winner of Jones/Rampage is much more interesting than having Tito in there for me. Either way whoever wins between Jones and Rampage we've got a grudge match on our hands.

 

I thought that was Rashad's most complete showing of his career so far. He looked better on the feet, his wrestling was on, he looked better than he ever has physically and amazingly didn't seem rusty at all. Tito fought his arse off, full credit to him and was refreshing to hear him say Rashad was the better man. I was expecting him to bring up the recent car crash as an excuse but he took the loss on the chin.

Dana White's reaction to Hallman's panties on Twitter

"WTF!!!! Fighting in that will be illegal after tonight! Anyone want to grapple with hallman?"

 

:laugh:

 

and quote from Rashad at the press conference

"I would prefer to get it from Jones because I would love to be the first one to beat him. He's so cocky. He's so cocky, like, you think I'm cocky, he's for real cocky. Like I'm on camera joking around cocky, he's like go to sleep praising himself cocky. That's how cocky he is. But I would love to teach him a lesson and if he's able to get past "Rampage" then I'll get the chance to do that. But, like I said, he has a tough fight ahead of him."

I had an acummulator with Belfort, Philippou, Gustafsson, Hendricks and Hallman. Was looking good until Ebersole landed some elbows of doom. Seriously nasty stuff. Hallman's grits :cry:

Brutal Knee finish for Rashad, When it happened I was waiting for Tito to claim an illegal strike had been thrown. Rashad looked on point, no ring rust at all it seemed. Nice that Tito was humble in defeat too. Had a few quid on Evans by KO, so not feeling so bad after my near miss on the accumulator.

Belfort is so scary when hes on. I was expecting a much closer affair and for Akiyama to close the distance and work his grappling a little. Hopefully he will get another fight. Worth it for his ring entrance and general awesomeness. His body position when he was KO'd was rather odd looking too.

I thought Rory might go the route of Hathaway, but he looked so comfortable, Made it look a walk in the park. He's gonna get a top guy next surely.

 

Good show.

I was collating results for the website when I remembered that the UFC was on. I turn over to see a guy with an arrow shaved into his chest hair taking on a Mr Anderson lookalike in speedos. I switched back to having SuperCasino in the background.

 

And this is coming from a guy who watches women's wrestling.

Since when did punching the back of the head become legal? I'm sure Belfort's last 5 shots were all illegal! Don't get me wrong he'd have won anyway, but that's the kind off shit Goldberg and Rogan should pick up on!

"I'd call it disgusting. It was disgusting. I don't know how his cornermen- First of all, I'm pissed that someone that works for me let him come out with those on, number one. Number two, as a cornerman, how do you seriously [not] say, 'Dude, this might be a bad idea. You might not want to wear these out there. It was not good. It will never happen again. I can guarantee you that.

 

"I'm serious. I seriously gave Ebersole the $70,000 bonus. There were only three bonuses tonight. Tito/Rashad for fight of the night, and then Vitor for the KO of the night. That's it; there were no more bonuses. I gave him that bonus for getting that off television as fast as possible. And that's the truth.

 

"You don't want to remembered for that. That's the last thing you want to be remembered for is going out there and making people watch five minutes of that."

:laugh:

the trunks are no worse than some of the stuff Shonie Carter used to wear. I dont think its that big a deal

 

Well his dick did come out so I'd say its somewhat of a big deal. I couldnt stop laughing when he entered the cage in them but I can also see why Dana's pissed. Ebersole did bloody well out of it though...

Well yeah, apart from showing brain it was just a bit of a laugh. Am I the only one that was praying for a north/south for the comedy value?

I could honestly watch Tito get punched in the head for a full 15 minutes. I rewatched the first Tito/Rashad fight on saturday and it was total domination by Tito. Rashad really is a different fighter from 2007 (still leaving his head/neck out there though) A total contrast in fights
