UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao (July 21st)

[REDDzone]

I usually feel like a douche laughing so hard at these KO photoshop threads, but this may be the creepiest/most hilarious mma gif I've ever seen.

Haha, Faber echoing the sentiments in this thread on the mma hour, saying Rogan kept harping on the leg kicks for no reason.

Hoping we finally see the end of Faber in title fights.

He's never good enough to beat the best guys.

He thinks he almost won that fight? That makes one person.

Get back to tanning and teeth-whitening, finally we can see some new blood at 135 in big slots.

I had a bunch of friends who love MMA order the PPV at my house last night. All of them went home either disappointed or angry. I enjoyed the first fight and didn't mind the main event (though all of them said they expected much more from Faber). The prelims weren't bad either.

Ah well...onto the next event. UFC on FOX right?

Yup. Shogun doesn't fight boring fights. He just goes forward and engages always. It's funny how Phil Dvis has been demoted to the undercard on that card just after coming off the main event on Fox. I guess Zuffa expects more excitement out of Lauzon vs Varner.

What's she saying?

I think the whole point of that GIF is the guy in the background trying to take a pic of her ass.

That's got to be a hell of a feeling.

Anyone see where Volkmann said Lombard punched him in the middle of training? Didn't Lombard and Barnett have the exact same issue? Is there anything that Hector Lombard doesn't find as insulting or offensive?

I heard Lombard made an insane amount of money.

He got a sweet contract.

Also gets PPV cuts for title fights, as per contract.

Give him Wandy!

[REDDzone]

Quarter mill for money? Can't remember what I heard. Being realistic, doesn't look like that ppv cut for a title fight is going to be a factor anytime soon. Hell, I know mw isn't the shark's tank that lw is, but look at Pettis after he failed to impress in his debut.

[Gold Chain]

And good on him for doing that.

Got to get your's in a sport where your spark can go out quick and you'll be stuck teaching boxercise classes in Vegas in a flash.

Lombard better come out firing in his next fight, because that was crap.

And I called Boetsch to win, but not like that.

Maybe Rich Franklin? He'd end this hype train quickly.

I watched a video where one of the trainers talked about the Barnett thing. Apparently Barnett didn't like how hard Lombard goes in sparring so in one session he pinned him to the ground, sat on him (in mount) and basically wouldn't let him up. Lombard was pissed and has held a grudge about it ever since.

It's weird all the stories that come out about how much of a **** he is, my brother's hung out with him a few times and he sounds like the nicest guy ever.

[REDDzone]

Yea man some dudes are like that though. My point was there seems to be a theme that he goes too hard in training or takes that stuff personally/seriously. Dana said in an interview last week that there are some guys that other mma fighters just don't like, then stated that Hector seems to be one of those guys, presumably for that reason.

[REDDzone]

Just listened to Mauro interview Bisping. He went pretty hard at Lombard, kind of compared him to Jorge Santiago (at least, he brought him up), said he has been fighting subpar opponents forever, etc. If Lombard hears, he's going to change his fight request from Munoz to Bisping lol.
