    It was indeed a good card. Why was the Sonnen win such a shocker? The guy was on a losing streak against top level competition and talks a lot of trash to get him into fights, but I actually saw him as the favorite going into that match. In fact, the guy is so damn full of himself that he's bound to be good: it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sure, if the 'old' Shogun started off swinging we might've seen him go down, but that didn't happen (unfortunately). I don't see him winning against any champion at the moment, but I see him winning against the rest. :)

     

    I thought Sonnen was going to win, but by submission, thought there was no way for him to win by that.

     

    Why can't the Rampage rematch happen anymore (other than the fact that he's no longer with the ufc)? I don't really see Rampage racking up many more wins before he calls it quits too. Surely both can go out with a bang. People will still care about that fight, even if both guys are losing.

     

    Like you said, because Rampage isn't in the UFC, if Shogun gets the slip, maybe, if Shogun doesn't retire first.

Yes Aldo broke his foot, yes it impacts his movement & punches, but no it does not mean he couldn't have fought well enough if he had a back up plan. But let's face it, I picked the wrong time to voice my opinions. Like with Silva/Weidman fight, I heard it a lot afterwards was that Weidman only won because Silva was cocky, but that's the way Silva has fought all the time, but Weidman saw that and knew how to answer that situation.</p>

Aldo actually had a legitimate excuse. Maybe you just want to justify KZ loss but it happens. Aldo broke his foot and <strong>KZ hurt his shoulder</strong> they each took advantage of that and in the end Aldo won. Maybe if hey fight again KZ might win but maybe Aldo will come in with a new plan and win quicker. who knows.</div></blockquote><p> Why are police officers trained for terrorist situations? Because, the likely hood of it happening is slim, but if it does happen the police would know how to react. Call me dumb or naive, but if I were to ever get into prize fighting, I would have a main game plan, a plan B, a plan C and plans for situation like a broke foot/hand/arm/whatever.</p><p> </p><p> As for KZ "hurt" his shoulder, which he did, but worse then hurting his shoulder, he disconnected it and was unable to use it at all. The ref should have stopped the fight right away, but he probably didn't know and caused KZ to take an beating which he shouldn't have and, imo, was a worse way to lose. I would rather lose official by and injury then strikes, and it showed I didn't stop.</p>

His offense was obviously neutered by not being able to use leg kicks. </div></blockquote><p> He could still punch. I see it happy all the times when a champion doesn't think his opponent is as good as he is and is surprised and losses or doesn't preform as well. Like in the Penn vs. Edgar first fight, Edgar won, then Penn goes and says he lost because of a sinus infection. I understand that a lot of times these guys are headlining a UFC PPV, but if you have are ill or injured and won't be able to fight 100%, I think you should pull out of the fight. Now I know Aldo broke his foot during the fight and he couldn't have pulled out, he should have had a plan in case that happened, and not stand there taking punishment well trying to take the fight down.</p>

    I can't really see it being 'for the money', as UFC would have an edge there. Furthermore, he was having a good job as a commentator during tv shows. So there are no grounds for a breakup there.

     

    Maybe Brad knows. :)

     

    maybe he didn't want a job with the UFC like Liddell and Hughes

    Thoughts on the Alvarez situation?

     

    As a fan, I think I'd prefer to see him in the UFC, just because some of the matches are interesting. In terms of the legal details, I don't really have the background to how things should pan out though.

     

    Aside from the outcome, I find the details of his offer pretty interesting: http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/01/eddie-alvarezs-ufc-offer-includes-immediate-title-shot-pay-per-view-cut

     

    what I don't get is when Lombard was in contract talks, the head said he was happy to have Lombard go, now saying this. Spike has something to do with this.

    and seriously? two of the biased ass judges give him every round

     

    he deserved 4 rounds, the other round could have gone ether way, as the only reason condit should have won that round was the knock down.

     

    as for points, if you look at it GSP was trying to finish but condit it great on the feat and has a good ground game, gsp was fighting strong and smart. hope he keeps up the way he did last night.
