bill_da_bill Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Anyone picking Tito in this fight? I have Rashad, but I actually think it'll be pretty close. Tito is in top shape, just coming off a fight and feeling motivated. Rashad hasn't fought in 18 months, that's kind of a bad combination. I don't love this uncercard, but there are a couple of interesting fights out there. I'm excited for Belfort/Akiyama even if it doesn't have big time implications. I'm also a Rory McDonald fan, so looking forward to seeing him against a very game Mike Pyle, should be a tough challenge. And I'm actually not sure how Alexander Gustafsson vs Matt Hammil never got promoted to the main card, I hink that is very interesting. Gustafsson has a lot of potential and this is his biggest test by far. Not a $50 purchase kind of PPV, but it's worth a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch.

IzzyX Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 That was a really good main event. Was pulling for Tito and he gave me some hope with that guillotine and then that leglock which didn't get locked in. I say he put up a good fight.

Commander Sheepard Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Apparently Dana White has now banned that type of attire in the Octagon. You have to admit though, it made him stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristy Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I imagine a lot of the red blooded American males that bought the PPV were pretty upset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sheepard Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I was upset...that I missed the PPV and didn't get to see it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Dana White said it during the fight on Twitter that he was gonna ban them straight away, at one point his junk actually flew out for all to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Ice Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 That fight mentally scared me for life, and I now hate Dennis Hallman. Also, Rashad's knee hurt me, I fucking felt that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Wow.....Dennis Hallman haha, Is that his personal choice or did he lose a bet or something? Damnnnnnn that was a strange fucking fight to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Sheepard Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Matt Hamill has announced on his website that he's retiring. "Today is a sad day for me. After six years and 13 fights in the UFC I'm ready to hang up my gloves and retire from this amazing sport. The UFC has been extremely good to me and given me an opportunity to make a great living. That exposure has allowed me options outside the Octagon as well. I just don't have it in me to fight anymore and my last two performances have shown that. I was ready to make this decision after UFC 130 but my friends, family coaches and most importantly my daughter encouraged me to give it one last chance. My career has been plagued by injuries starting with The Ultimate Fighter and disrupted my training ever since. There hasn't been even one training camp where I've been able to train without training around an injury. I have not been kind to my body and it has nothing left after 28 years of non stop competition. It's time to finally give it a rest. I can't continue to fight without having the hunger and desire to do so. I can't let my performances reflect on my coaches who are the best in the world and the reason I've made it this far." Goes on to say that he'll still be coaching, and thanks a bunch of people. Interesting, but I guess if his heart isn't in it anymore, it's the best thing to do.

Mysterio2000X Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sucks, Light Heavy can use all the depth it can get, and Hamill still would've worked in that gatekeeper role (since Franklin doesn't want to do that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Good riddance. Useful comment. Yes, Hammill was a great gatekeeper, but if your hearts not really in it what is the point of getting punched in the face? Not much really.

Gazz Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 It's not just that either, training 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week when you've lost the drive to do it. Fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Chris Lytle is also retiring after the Dan Hardy fight, win, lose or draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
