I think your hatred of him has seriously clouded your judgement.

UFC ON FOX 8 tonight. Bit of an underwhelming card. Main event is Johnson (great fighter) vs Moraga who I haven't really paid attention to in the past.
Will be interesting to see if McDonald keeps getting better.
Rest of the card is meh..

Johnson absolutely dominant. Has to be the pound for pound king. Another fighter right up there with him, Aldo, fighting next week.
Was impressed with Barnett and Pettis last night.
Barnett was always going to put Mir up the fence and wrestlefuck him. They both took a lot of heavy shots and looked unfazed, but that knee ruined Mir, and if the ref hadn't have stepped in then Barnett would have ploughed through him. Mir's knees and his neck went limp on that knee, it was defo a correct stoppage.
Pettis showed a lot of heart in that first round, he was getting wrestlefucked by bendo, and that was going to continue for 5 rounds unless he did something, so he came out and slammed about 5 kicks into bendo's ribs to slow him down, then got caught being the prat trying to cartwheel him. But that transition for the armbar was sublime, bendo is no mug on the ground, he's a JJ black belt himself.

Really Sanchez?
Cain just looks unbeatable when he's fit. Made Dos Santos look terrible.
He doesn't strike me as the most powerful heavyweight but his conditioning and stamina is out of this world. Don't see anyone taking his belt any time soon. Cormier his training partner should be the next in line.

Yep, I thought Sanchez had great heart in that fight, even though he was out-tagged by Melendez. Warrior spirit and he can take a punch.
Cain's conditioning is awesome even though he doesn't look like it is, probably my favourite fighter in the UFC, he turns up to fight, not piss about, the same can't be said about GSP, Silva, Jones.
It wont be Cormier, they've refused to fight each other. I guess it'll probably be Werdum. Even though I think he's average at best. But the HW div is pretty light for talent. I'm not sure who can get near Cain, they can't have him and JDS just fight each other every 6months. Maybe Barnett if he wins another couple. He'd just stomp Bigfoot (again), overeem, browne, nelson. Poor division, bit like the scotland of MMA - 2 decent teams.
Dont get me wrong, GSP cuts up very easily, but he did get a beating in that fight, as did Jones in his.
I had Hendricks winning it 3-2, but he noticeably slowed off after the 2nd round. And I guess if you want to be champ, you have to really beat the champ, and doing it on points, by a single round, isn't really counted.
Do it like Weidman
GSP bores my tits off mind.

Good result for Weidman last night, he's class. I think there's only really Belfort and mayyyybe Rockhold that can challenge him at 185, he'll wipe the floor with the rest of them. But, he's a bit big for 185, I think sooner or later he'll have to go to 205 as the cut must be killing him. But at 205, I think he'd be in trouble.
Well, what a massive anti-climax that 'super-fight' was. I thought that Cormier made a good throw of getting inside and having a scrap for the first couple of rounds, but then whether he was blowing or not, it turned into a poxy grappling-fest and he didn't do anywhere near enough to take the belt. Also rather embarrassing that he got dumped on his arse a few times from a wrestling point of view. I can not stand Jones nor his fighting style, but he is a good champion and seems to have a style that virtually everyone struggles to counter. I really hope Gus can get the belt off him as I'm not sure I can stand his poxy side foot knee strikes and failed jumping knees forever more. That or he goes up a weight and gets battered.
Cormier will need at least another 2-3 more fights and a couple of years before he gets another shot at the title now.

Cormier has never taken as much damage as he did against Jones and during the third round he just gave up. Jones broke him.
I'm no Jon Jones fan but he's a great fighter.
Everyone is pinning their hope on Gustafsson, but I'm not believing that hype. First he needs to beat Johnson and that's not easy.
Jones will most likely be the champion by the end of this year.

Congratulations. He's your countrymen and of course you should support him.
McGregor is a good fighter, but I don't think he deserves a title shot. Yeah he's close, but it just seems like a money scheme from the UFC. It has happened before, but how can McGregor get a title shot before beating one of the top 3 contenders?
Truth is probably that they didn't want to risk him losing and instead put him in front a beatable opponent. Dennis Siver was never going to beat McGregor.
He's the one drawing interest at the moment, and mainly because he's knocking everyone out.
People want to see if he can continue to do it. Maybe a title shot is a little early but it's got as much to do with Aldo having beaten the others in the top rankings already as it does with anything else
