Just heard about Bellator 138 over the weekend; Ken Shamrock vs. Kimbo Slice as the main event and a lot of people are screaming "FIX!". What do you all think?

 

Bellator wasn't in on it, but it's clearly a fix. Choke in, hooks in, Kimbo doesn't know how to defend, and Ken just gives it up. Meh, dominating position? Who needs it.

UFC 190 bout order is set. Ronda is going to trounce Correia. Looking forward to seeing Jessica Aguilar's debut fight.

 

Main card:
Ronda Rousey vs. Bethe Correia
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Mauricio Rua
Fernando Bruno vs. Glaico Franca
Dileno Lopes vs. Reginaldo Vieira
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Stefan Struve
Antonio Silva vs. Soa Palelei
Jessica Aguilar vs. Claudia Gadelha

 

Undercard:
Neil Magny vs. Demian Maia
Patrick Cummins vs. Rafael Cavalcante
Nordine Taleb vs. Warlley Alves
Leandro Issa vs. Iuri Alcantara
Clint Hester vs. Vitor Miranda
Guido Cannetti vs. Hugo Viana

Machida looked shot to ###### as soon as the 2nd round started. He should retire or just start fighting former champions at Franklinweight.

 

Also, Bellator 139 had a massive KO as well. Hisaki Kato, a MASSIVE underdog, pulled the upset.

If Mendes has been secretly preparing for this (because he knows Aldo is made of glass), Connor is going to have a very hard fight in his hands. Aldo would be hard as well, but he can't wrestle worth a damn. Will we be seeing the second TAM champion arise?

Gilbert Melendez fails UFC 188 drug test, suspended one year

 

 

... ######!

 

You were supposed to be the chosen one!!!!!!

 

Gilbert always seemed like a guy that could (once in a blue moon) get popped for weed. But exogenous testosterone in a fight that he lost to a badly injured Eddie Alvarez? Goddamn' it.

Biggest PPV of the year is coming up. Weigh-in is tomorrow. Very excited about this card. Solid, top to bottom. The only "blemish" I can point out is that Matt Brown is going to fight Tim Means in the prelims instead of Brandon Thatch on the Main Card. That would be a beautifully violent fight.
 

 

Main Card (PPV, 10 PM ET)

Conor McGregor (145) vs. Chad Mendes (144.5)
Robbie Lawler (169.5) vs. Rory MacDonald (170)
Dennis Bermudez (146) vs. Jeremy Stephens (149.5*)
Gunnar Nelson (169.5) vs. Brandon Thatch (170.5)
Thomas Almeida (136) vs. Brad Pickett (136)

 

Preliminary Card (FS1, 8 PM ET)

Matt Brown (171) vs. Tim Means (171)
Alex Garcia (171) vs. Mike Swick (170.5)
John Howard (170.5) vs. Cathal Pendred (171)
Henry Briones (136) vs. Cody Garbrandt (136)

 

Preliminary Card (Fight Pass, 7 PM ET)

Neil Seery (125.5) vs. Louis Smolka (126)
Yosdenis Cedeno (155) vs. Cody Pfister (156)

 

Everyone made weight, except for Jeremy Stephens. If he loses this fight, he's getting cut from the UFC for sure.

Gotta feel bad for Mendez, he's being used as a sacrificial lamb after Aldo pussied out of a real challenge 

 

The consensus #1 guy in the division that just couldn't fight Aldo in the near future because he had already lost twice, albeit the second time was pretty close?

 

That's not a sacrificial lamb. Sacrificial lambs are the TUF Latin America guys getting thrown to guys like Cody Garbrandt. Or Gunnar having to gameplan for Thatch on short notice.

 

Chad Mendes probably was keeping himself ready for this anyway because Aldo is notoriously brittle, despite his P4P greatness. It's a competitive fight. It's not a Invicta FC title mauling.

And this was just the second best knee on this card. Thomas Almeida proved that he is more than just a guy with a padded record crushing cans in regional shows. He is legit.

This is tomorrow and... nobody cares. It has received close to zero promotional stuff on the UFC's social media channels.

 

On the other hand... UFC 190 is going to be BIG. And UFC 189 was massive on the PPV side of things (the lower bound is 700k buys).

T.J. Dillashaw (135) vs. Renan Barao (135)

Jessica Eye (136) vs. Miesha Tate (135.5)

Edson Barboza (155) vs. Paul Felder (155.5)

Takanori Gomi (155.5) vs. Joe Lauzon (155.5)

 

Preliminary Card (6 PM ET, FOX)

Tom Lawlor (203) vs. Gian Villante (205)

Danny Castillo (155.5) vs. Jim Miller (155)

    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

    • Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.
    • Everyone behaves like Internet Explorer just never happened and Edge is whole new thing all while Microsoft is pulling the exact same ###### it did back then. Sigh.
