Chris2K Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just retire Cain, or move to a training camp where you're not liable to get injured EVERY FUCKING TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Werdum's withdrawn with an injury now! Man, poor Miocic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draevyn Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's bullshit. Especially with Werdum saying that he'd still fight if it was Cain but not Miocic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Werdum saying that he'd still fight if it was Cain but not Miocic. Why is it bullshit? Werdum knows that the fight with Cain is a money fight and worth the risk, he knows that Miocic isn't a money fight and therefore not worth the risk. When you are at the sharp end you can't just fight for fightings sake, you must make the right decisions for your career and future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'd rather see Cain vs Werdum, it just feels like a dirty move for him to say "I'll fight Cain injured but not Miocic" even though Miocic is a worthy challenger.

Rich Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 But it's not worth the risk to Werdum, he isn't going to make money from the Miocic fight. Put yourself in Werdum's shoes, the world is not so simple as to just have the fight if Werdum is unwilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 So UFC 196 is going from PPV to FS1, with Big Rigg / Wonderboy headlining. It's weird, but the Mickey Gall fight is now the fight I'm most interested in seeing on that card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. X Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Bryan Barberena makes Sage Northcutt tap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes! Fuck you Northcutt. No way he should be making 40/40 over so many others. Barbarena is the working class hero tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I admit to not watching a whole lot of MMA. But when Barberena got Northcutt to the ground you could see where Northcutt was seemingly lost and that lead to the submission. Northcutt probably should have kept the fight standing, but experience wasn't in his corner yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Rare to see someone get the sub from half guard too. Man Ryan Bader fucked up bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well, that is one reason I've never paid outright for a UFC PPV. Too much uncertainty and some of the fights can be boring as all hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbarena is the working class hero tonight How on earth is it his fault that he's making more money? Should he have said "oh no, UFC, thanks but no thanks, give the money to someone else instead"? Would Bryan Barbarena or any other fighter said no to a contract like that? Weird how Barbarena got the leverage to squeeze a tap out from the opposite side, though, when his hips weren't even positioned on the right side. Silly Bader. Why would you go for a single leg when his back leg is so far away? That was always going to be a shot that won or lost him the fight. My boy Big Ben continues the fairy tale, though. Lovely.

I didn't say it's Sage's fault. It's Dana White and the UFC's fault for underpaying and treating a load of their fighters like crap. So it's not about hating on Sage per se, it's the principle of the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draevyn Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I seriously think Sage panicked more than it was actually Barbarena getting the leverage to finish. Barnett getting submitted bummed me out, though I was hoping for an awkward Rothwell wrestling style promo. I like both Bader and Rumble but man, Bader made a horrible decision on the level of Chael Sonnen in the second Silva fight. That was a hail mary play that definitely did not work out well for him.
