But you know you're gonna watch.





Think this will be a different fight from the last time they fought?

I feel like Robbie has Rory's number in this one.

Either way will be a good fight!

Lawler won the last one against Rory by split... Rory is too good and keeps getting better.. he has two losses a split decision to robbie Lawler and a tko loss to Carlos Condit.. he has only lost to the best.. and has gotten better
 
yea but I feel the same about Robbie. He has really come along way. Especially since his sitint in Stikeforce. I'd love to see a Lawler v Diaz Rematch now!
 
RDA looked like a beast...he put a beating on pettis for 5 solid rounds. Really impressive.
Also impressive was that polish chick, I was out of my chair when she was landing bombs on that other chick..getting goose bumps just thinking about that combo at the end. Hendricks was a beat too but he does have issues finishing. More than once he had Brown up against the cage and his strikes were working and I was litterally screaming at my tv (finish him!) and then instead, just when he looked like he had brown really hurt he'd go for a double leg takedown....?
I know he won the fight so it's hard to criticize...

All about winning.

I would have liked to see Rockhold show a little more respect for a former champion post fight.

I totally want to see Jaqueri get the title shot. You can't leapfrog the #1 contender, by beating the #2 guy.

So, i guess I agree with you.

But I will watch Rockhold's next fight.

They did the world a favor, I think. It is a vulnerability, and you have to know how to counter it on the street. As you hint, many punks think they just need to tackle you. But, my Wing Chun is 3D, I can punch hard just from my body mass as the breech block. I don't have to have my feet on the ground to throw 1 inch punches into the side of his neck. But, I don't have to go to ground, prefer not to.

Yeah, gracie looks good in the ring, since in MMA there are rules to keep you alive, not so on the street.

If someone tries to dirt dive me, I have plenty of counters now. None of them are legal in MMA. For example Eye Gouge is just one of my level 2 conflict resolutions, if I feel threatened.

Last real fight I know about, street brawl between gracie and wing chun, when the gracie guy grabbed me around the waist, I stepped turned, 90 degrees and braced, I got my elbow in and pushed his head away from my hip so he had no leverage. I muscled his head around to the front of me (and me turning again) and face planted him between my feet.

Nah, we were in the dojo freestyle sparing but that's what happened. :)

WTF, Jon Jones out of UFC 187, rumors are he was involved in a hit and run, fled the scene and was apparently caught with cocaine on him, and one of the people he hit was a pregnant woman

WTF man?
