Rey_Piste Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I was gutted when that fight didn't go for a third round, I honestly gave it a round a piece and both guys really gave it their all. Tickle seemed to be the only one who talked to Ronda in the house, I did find it hilarious how dumbfounded they all seemed like nervous schoolboys.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 good episode. Â The fight again this week was excellent, i had it scored a round a piece. I thought Sicilia clearly won round 2, i know Saunders took the back twice but Sicilia reversed him before Saunders could even attempt a choke, plus Saunders was dropped with a left hook. Thought the first round was the closest of the two. Â I'm actually favouring Urijah out of the coaches, i know most people here tend to be favouring Cruz but there's just something unlikable about him that i can't shake.

David Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah, I'm the same. I just don't like Cruz for some reason. Â Good to see the lone Brit progress to the next round. He certainly surprised me, as I didn't hold out much hope for him going into the fight, and I thought his stand-up looked too robotic in the first frame, but Rio seemed to keep getting caught so I guess it was working. Â His takedown defence was virtually non-existent in my opinion, so I'm not sure how much longer he'll last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted May 7, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 7, 2012 The UFC's love of heavy artillery in the last episode was bordering on comedic. Mental stuff for a coaches challenge. Â Agreed about the comments on Ogle. after seeing him flounder in rubberguard for the whole of his contention fight, I thought he'd be a massive weak link, but he did well and showed some game. Rio didn't really get started and was tapping before that choke was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from the first takedown he got up quick enough and the second one he reversed it into the RNC. He's still got time in the house before he fights, so there is plenty of time to help improve his wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loligan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 A number of sources have reported that Dominick Cruz suffered a torn ACL while training with his team at the UFC Gym in the past few days and thus would be out of the 7/7 main event with Urijah Faber. UFC has not confirmed the injury. Â It's expected more will break on this as the day goes on. Â NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Â This was on the observer twitter feed btw.

TildeGuy~! Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I guess we find out who takes Cruz's place on within a few days as Cruz is off the TUF show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmed Johnson Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Might spice up the show a bit by replacing Cruz with someone, gives the guys someone else to learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2012 Gotta be Barao. He's the only guy that makes sense to me. Faber/Barao and McDonald/Menjivar is a no brainer. I'd be surprised if they go with anything different. Shame though, although in some ways it kinda seemed too soon for a third fight to me with their last fight only last year. I reckon Barao beats Faber myself if that fight comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
