Isn't Lansberg the Canadian talk shot host with the really wide mouth?

No? Well I'd be more likely to watch that fight than this one. lolz.

lol, I'd enjoy that.

He'd probably have the same chance. That being 0. It gives me a bad feeling to see Cyborg vs. "woman I've never heard of" on a card.

Don't know why they are hurting her long term health just to fight nobodies.

If they made Cyborg vs. Punk though I might even spring for the PPV.

I don't know why they are making Cyborg the headliner and at 140 if they have no intention of starting a 145 division nor has she shown the ability or willingness (physically and/or mentally) to make 135 to challenge for the title. It makes even less sense when she's the headliner fighting someone no one's heard of.

I've had this on in the background, two quick thoughts:

1) Cruz is getting way too technical for the average ufc viewer I'm guessing.
2) Saw a thread on the UG recently how Burns is basically the anti-Maia. Fully intending to ignore his biggets strength in favor of banging bros and possibly getting KTFO. IDK why these guys do this to themselves, hell even Maia was doing it for awhile.

My god this Eric Spicely. That's exactly what I'm talking about with Durinho. I was literally rooting against Burns by the end just due to his own stupidity. Spicely was trying to emulate Maia there, did you catch it? Force your way into that reverse half guard position from top, force three quarter mount. Ended up taking the back from a transition. Why bang with someone who is so much better standing when you can just choke them out? I swear to god its the bane of most grapplers. IDK if its just vanity, or the desire to win a bonus or what. Not to pile on Burns but he even has some wrestling, so to go that entire fight without a TD attempt is just asinine as good as he is.

Erick Silva looks like a nice prospect!

Wowowowo! Roy Nelson! Decent night of free fights so far(it's on TSN5 in Canada).

Erick Silva and Uriah Hall and Brandon Thatch are the future!

Bigfoot Silva has been KOed three fights in a row, five out of six, and six out of eight. Nine total KO losses in his career. UFC needs to stop giving this guy fights.

Also "best ref in the sport" Big John with the late stoppage. Roy basically just stopped punching.

Jasen777 · Post #15 » by **Jasen777** » Sun Sep 25, 2016 4:06 am

Kicking the ref is not a good idea though.

I didn't see that.

Pretty sure Nelson called John a "dumb f*ck" or some such this week leading up to the fight. That had to be awkward. Fighters probably deal with awkwardness by push kicking their opponents, as opposed to you or I who would just make it more awkward with small talk. lolz.

Cyborg-Lansberg was a mauling... as expected. Cyborg is a treat to watch and I hope they set up a 145 lbs division ASAP.
