This is working for the time being.

Anyone interested, this is the best feed I've found:

http://www.atdhe.net/7509/watch-ufc-101-declaration-usa-only

what I love about that site is that even when a feed gets shutdown they have it back up in a couple minutes.

mmmm, that's good piracy.

edit

Great commentary:
Fight in the crowd, might be better than what we're watching. We are in Philadelphia. Suprised no one's been shot yet.

just so I don't post any spoilers, I'll just go ambiguous:



huh?

I still like Pellegrino.

f spoilers, the sodollah stoppage was lol.

If you come in to the mma thread on a fight day and expect spoilers then really...

I hope you bet it. I was shocked Pellegrino was able to dictate where and how the fight was fought. I never saw him as more than a gatekeeper and thought Neer was a potential contender.

Sadollah stoppage was dissapointing. Mirgliotta is always been a hack. Sadollah did get caught but he wasnt out for sure.

Sigh, now Forrest. That chin is weak. Didnt get hit with anything massive but if you catch him clean with anything he goes down. Was very slow compared to AS. AS is a bad mofo and he knew the fight was his early and wasnt scared of Forrest at all. Still hard to believe Rampage couldnt KO Forrest over the course of a 5 rounder.

Kenny was game but outclassed. Diego will put up a better fight but BJ wins here aswell. After Diego theier isnt anything threatning to BJ at all at 155. So now you have 3 maybe 4 divisions in the UFC where the champ is pretty much a lock as log as they stay in their division(BJ, GSP, AS and maybe Lesnar).

sorry, posted in the wrong thread

so who are they gonna get anderson silva to fight next? two guys at once? a bear maybe?

Well, you had some good and bad here. Pelligrino domintated

Silva did have a ridic knockout

the final fight did end in a 4th round submission

if the bear engages, it's in trouble

I don't think anyone can touch BJ at 155, especially if he is patient like he was last night. He just doesn't make mistakes.

Don't really have a problem with the Amir stoppage. After the flurry he was face first, hands on the mat just getting hit. Sure one of the shots woke him up and he was getting up, but it's always better to end it sooner than later, and he was hurt there.

Anderson is just so amazing it's a joy to watch him... expected better from Forrest than to run away. He dislocated his jaw, lol. Anderson did great homage to MJ with the fade away for the win.

Whoever said they have three dominating champions, I think it's more now than ever that every champ is dominating. Who is the next to lose their title? Lyoto, BJ, Anderson, GSP, Lesnar have all looked ridiculously dominant and unbeatable.

I loved how Kenblow spent 3 full rounds trying to take BJ down, and finally Penn was like; you know what? THIS is how you take someone down. Good night.

Felt bad for Forrest. Silva was literally toying with him. It was like Mike Tysons Punchout. Dodge left. Dodge right. Star punch! (except the star punch was just a well placed jab).

While I agree Lyotto looks pretty unstoppable at this point I cant put him in the class of BJ, GSP and AS yet as they pretty much cleaned up their divisions. If Lyotto beats Rampage the division is probally his for years to come. Lesnar looks so dominant but was losing to Randy before catching him. His dominance in the division can also be attributed to a weak division. The thing they all have in common is either great physical gifts or they have been training since birth basically. It appears that no matter how hard you train, how big your heart is, and how much you want it its hard to beat someone who is just physically gifted.

anderson silva vs machida thats the only guy i see giving him trouble. LOL @ poor griffin was really hoping he pulled off an upset hes just too cool of a guy to go against very sad at how he lost.

kind of a shitty card hope the next ones better

I am literally in awe of Anderson Silva right now. The guy is like something right out of the Matrix. Just scary good.

Anderson Silva is on a completely different level then anyone else who holds a belt right now.

That's exactly how I described it to friends last night, it was as if he saw Forrest's punches in slo mo. Incredible. Did he really break Griffins jaw ?

Yea no way GSP could touch him if they fought.I dont see Hendo making out any better the second time round aswell. Wandy would get slaughtered.

Wow Torres got KTFO.

sure did

Ref took a little long to stop it but I have no problem with it, considering Torres is known for being tough and having a chin.
Bowles is a scrappy fella.

I'm starting to not like watching Benevides fight. He is so unorthodox it's nearly painful. He can't finish anything. His opponent had a freakishly large head for his body. Plus, his standup was awful.

I thought that in a lot of ways people underestimated GSP, didn't give him enough credit. After watching Silva, this puts things into perspective. GSP is fantastic but has a weak chin. BJ Penn is fantastic but did not look great in this fight imo. Finished the job, but nothing that blew my mind. I saw weaknesses in his game. Brock is a bit one dimensional right now, so it's hard to tell.

But Silva is God like. I mean when I watched him avoiding Forrests punches it was almost like watching that scene from the first Spiderman where Peter Parker sees the punhces and moves his head twice before the punch even extends.

I just can't see anyone who can compete with him standing. Nobody. I would think that there have to be guys who hit harder? But every time that Silva connects, people have such fear in them.......I have to wonder.

anderson silva was crazy last night. So damn dominate it is scary.

As for BJ if he keeps his head straight and fights like he did last night I think he is untouchable at 155. But when his head inflates like it did going into GSP he has no chance.

The kendall grove fight really disappointed me too. Kendall just didn't seem to have a good gameplan for the fight. He just looked totally defeated within the first 30 seconds of the fight.

KenFlo pissing himself during the 3rd round

Poor BJ got a golden shower. faked but funny

omg is that for real. I've been known to fart while playing hockey, but I've never heard of springing a leak.

Anderson just schooled Forest, simply amazing. I feel kinda bad for Forest but that fight was so awesome it was worth breaking his spirits.

Wow that is either awesome, or an awesome photoshop

Quite a few people that I talked to today seem to think the Forrest fight was fixed............

you talked to quite a few idiots today

It's a string. There are a few pictures out there of the string flying around in more obvious angles

I agree with this. Forrest got caught and just like in his other fights his game plan went completely out the window after that. It was very bizarre watching it because he really had no chance staying on his feet with Silva.

Carano/Cyborg? Thoughts? It was a brutal beat down.

I'm slowly learning MMA (ordered UFC 101 last week).

Carano/Cyborg was a hell of a fight. I would question the stoppage right before the horn, but Carano definitely looked done.

Rematch down the road?

Has to be, strictly by default. There are no other women fighters for Cyborg to fight.

Cyborg = Wandy in a wig

I was flipping through the PPV guide last night and saw this event. $49.95!! I lol'd. I wouldn't even pay that if the oil wrestled.

LOL, no thanks. Yea I dont know why the Score shows Strikeforce events from 2 years ago but does nothing with the live events. Hopefully Strikeforce gets a deal with someone in Canada to show live events. Charging the same money as the UFC charges is just gonna keep their organization in obscurety up here.

Yeah, really. It's like they don't even try in any market outside the US. Oh well for them though. Tbh though, I wouldn't have even spent $20 on it.

Wanderlei had facial surgery. WTF.

? It was free, was it not? I watched it live on showtime last night and paid $0. I actually don't even pay for showtime, Directv gave it to me free for 3 months.

DirecTV has a deal where if you don't have Showtime, you can order the event for $25.

Same goes for boxing events on that network.

Not in Canada

LOL, Chuck is going on Dancing With The Stars.

wow, not one word on Gegard Mousasi?

That guy was a stone cold killer, a beast. I could not have been more impressed.

missed the card(didnt want to pay $50 for it). Will find a video and watch. Babalu is deffinatly a good measuring stick and it sounds like he kicked his ass.

destroyed him. And the quiet calm he did it with actually frightened me, like he just stalked him, serial killer style then unleashed hell. It really looked like a 24 year old man fighting at 5th grader.

Odd that the UFC drops Leites and McCrory and pick up Ortiz and Baroni.

Leites just fought for the title and McCrory looked like he had a lot of talent.

Sigh. Selling tickets>good fighters.

Lesnar-Carwin to Headline UFC 106
Thursday, August 20, 2009
Greg Savage
UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will meet Shane Carwin in his second title defense at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Sherdog.com has confirmed the news through several sources with knowledge of the agreement. MMAMadness.com was the first to report on the card shift that will see Carwin move from a scheduled bout against Cain Velasquez at UFC 104.

Carwin has not answered calls for comment, but posted a message on his official Web Site Wednesday night.

“I can't confirm or deny anything. I can just tell you guys that I am training harder then ever and your support and loyalty will carry me through any fight they send my way,” he wrote.

Scheduling problems led to the dissolution of the previously agreed to Carwin-Velasquez matchup, according to a UFC source speaking anonymously because they were not authorized speak.

Lesnar, the company’s top pay-per-view draw, had minor surgery after defeating Frank Mir in July, creating uncertainty as to when he would be available to fight again.

His quick recovery allowed the promotion to bring him back in November, but with all of the top heavyweights already scheduled to fight, it was necessary to break up one of those bouts.

Carwin became a buzzworthy suitor for the champion following swift first-round technical knockouts over Neil Wain at UFC 89 and Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 96. Carwin, a 1999 NCAA Div. II wrestling champion, battled back from an early knockdown from the Brazilian to finish Gonzaga with his heavy hands.

Lesnar, 32, unified the heavyweight title and avenged his only loss with a second-round drubbing of former interim champion Frank Mir at UFC 100 last July. Lesnar, a 2000 NCAA Div. I heavyweight champion, won the title against perennial competitor Randy Couture by second-round TKO at UFC 91 last November. It was the former World Wrestling Entertainment star’s fourth professional bout.

About the only compelling match up in the UFC for Lesnar right now. The question is though if Brock destroys Carwin whats next? Nog maybe if he beats Randy but if Randy wins I dont see him getting a shot with just one fight between his last Lesnar fight. Velasquez maybe but his inability to finish Kongo makes me think he has a 0% chance against Lesnar. Its really too bad they couldnt sign Fedor. Crocop would most likely get taken down and pulverized but at least he has the 1 shot chance of the upset

edit: Just read abot AS possibly moving up to HW to face Mir. If that happens and he beats Mir an AS vs Lesnar is about as big a superfight as I can think of. Hopefully AS vacates 185 and foucuses on 205 and HW.

Can Anderson real think about fighting at HW. Lesnar would outweigh him by 70 pounds.

He walks around at 220 and looks like he has room on his frame to add effective bulk.


UFC 103 preliminary card to be live on Spike to counter the Mayweather fight. I was wondering why they had so many fights on that card.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?...70&name=mma

You're the best "pound for pound" fighter in the world, whatever that means. You make excellent fighters look like skipping schoolgirls. And you're getting bored.

If this description sounds familiar, you might well be Anderson Silva, famed sculptor of noses. And if you are, manager Ed Soares and the UFC have got a deal for you: According to SI.com's Josh Gross, manager and promotion have been conspiring to get Silva primed for the heavyweight division, with an eye toward Frank Mir as a possible first opponent.

If you read the latest issue of Real Fighter, you surely noted that author David Samuels' excellent cover piece on Silva included a glimpse of his Friday prefight meal. Not to be a spoiler, but both McDonald's and Mars, Inc., are involved. The guy clearly likes to eat. Whether that translates into success in a division full of men who spill over the 265-pound weight limit is open to deliberation.

Taking on smaller heavies like Randy Couture or division-straddling Brandon Vera? Yeah, I could see it. Getting out from underneath Brock Lesnar as he suffocates his prey with one giant pectoral muscle? Not quite as compelling.

This is all vaporware at the moment. I would expect plans to change significantly if Mauricio "Shogun" Rua happens to defeat Silva's friend Lyoto Machida on Oct. 24. Greatness in one division doesn't necessarily trump the absence of 20 to 50 pounds of mass. Just ask B.J. Penn about that one.
