Brock Goldberg Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 After watching the Countdown show this morning I can't wait for this event. Â Only just subscribed to ESPN in the last week or so. Apart from the recent Ultimate Fighter on FX I haven't seen any UFC for a good while. Â It looks a fantastic card.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Big Trev wonders what effect Lesnar has had in increasing the shift of old school wrestling fans towards UFC. Just looking at this thread, there's a pretty significant group of guys who'll be watching for the first time, mainly because of Brock. Â I have toyed with watching it before - mainly for Lesnar, because I was intrigued about how he would get on, but I could never really be arsed until now. I've really no idea if I will like it. I've never sat through a full MMA fight before. My knowledge of it starts and ends with Pete Becker v Tank Abbott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution 9 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks for the heads up guys. Looking forward to seeing this now and I'll return with a run down of what I thought when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Diaz  "He was trying to tip his hat into my face and I'm no punk who will take that. He was mumbling some stupid crap about me needing to bring it. He don't even believe what he's saying. He's trying to find confidence from somewhere. I will knock something else off his head Friday."  Cerrone  "I'm not getting paid to fight today. I get paid on Friday when it counts. Let's see if he's brave enough to swat my hat off on Friday. Let's see if he even comes close. Today, I acted like a professional. Friday, I'm gonna make him pay."  I know this type of stuff is common with the Diaz boys but he's doing it more than usual this time. I think Cerrone's in his head. Gonna be a great fight but I'm picking Cerrone to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted December 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 The only reason I gave UFC a chance was Lesnar, even after watching his first few fights I still didn't watch other shows. Â I'll be cheering Lesnar on tomorrow (as always) but I can see this ending with Lesnar getting embarrassed again. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Fuck, I didn't even remember Gustafsson/Vlad until I saw Ebb's post. Really looking forward to that. Gustafsson's came up fairly slowly and he's had relatively little hype compared to some of the other 205ers but he's looks the business so far. I've been a bit of a Vlad fan for a long time now but I think Gustafsson will finish this one by TKO. Big fight for him being his first PPV main card.

David Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'll be cheering Lesnar on tomorrow (as always) but I can see this ending with Lesnar getting embarrassed again. I do hope I'm wrong though. I can't see Lesnar getting embarrassed. The worst that can happen is he gets knocked out, which isn't that bad considering he's fighting a K-1 veteran.

cobra_gordo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've just had a look on the tv guide and it only shows UFC 141 on the listings as 3am-4am. Shouldn't the whole event kick off at 1am? There's UFC Unleashed from 1-2 and the countdown show from 2-3. Any idea where the full undercard will be shown or should it just be on Facebook again?

cobra_gordo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Weird. I've just checked online and you're right, it says 3am-6am. I'll be watching it on BT Vision and I'm sure it just said 3am-4am. I'll have to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbk4life Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd totally forgotten who was on this card until I checked it the other day, Kim, Nunes, Pearson, Vlad, Gustafsson, all guys I enjoy watching but I'd forgotten they were even fighting. Kim really should be further up the card, he should breeze past Pierson anyway. Â I've always been a fan of Vlad, but I really like Gustafsson as well, I'm gonna predict a Vlad decision victory though. Â I'm enjoying the Cerrone/Diaz stuff, can't wait to see Cerrone beat the cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryko Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Donald Cerrone does not give 1 single fuck. I don't doubt that, if between now and the event, Nate and Brock got injured, Cerrone would offer to fight Overeem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember something about Setanta cutting off at 4 am on BT Vision, is it maybe the same for ESPN? That would be extremely unfortunate for you if it's the case.
