he simply carries too much muscle for an effective mma pace; muscle requires much more oxygen and its apparent in mma with most or all ppl of that build.

Thank Jebus Shogun has finally decided to wear shorts that don't resemble soiled tighty-whities.

Browne threw that same front kick to the face about 6 times and Reem just stood in front of him.

Yeah, the best HW's, fedor(before), Nog, Cormier, Cain, JDS, none of them are as muscular as Reem.

So? He blocked them 5 times, 6th slipped cause he was tired as hell. Conor threw like 100 kicks, doesn't mean Holoway disrespected his standup.

Brag: 5u Chael getting most of it in good (actually just realised 6u forgot my Sect7G sidebet)

Brag: Didn't bet Chael by decision

Beat: Still down something like 10u for the card because Lauzon, Pyle and Nijem all failed hard and Reem has no chin

And I'm not even a shogun fan, but I thought he could at least handle Sonnen, didn't think Sonnen had anything for him except 3 rounds LnP, then he'd get finished.

Never saw Sonnen finishing Shogun

It's now that all who bet Sonnen come forward, yeah I told you so, forgetting none of them said he would finish Sonnen but grind out a 5 round decision...

I actually like Sonnen, and I like that he's calling out Wanderlai, I can imagine wanderlai sitting at home and yelling at the tv or smth. A shame though, was the difference between 15u win or -4u.

I didn't say how he'd win, granted I expected a decision was more likely but I took Sonnen straight up rather than Sonnen ITD for a reason.

Glad I waited for 5 of the 6 units until last minute too, got +137 or something I think

Sonnen vs Wanderlai makes sense at MW or at LHW, probably MW though, winner gets a last chance #1 contender fight vs whoever doesn't get the next shot out of Bisping/Jacare/Belfort/Mousasi/whoever once Anderson and Weidman have finished their rematch and the winner gets a fight with probably Belfort next and the trash talking will be epic for Chael/Wandy and either way a legion of fans will want to follow their guy to a 'last chance' title shot

Vitor Belfort ‏@vitorbelfort 4m
@sonnench let's fight
Why u are asking for wand , u have to fight me.
Lets do it @danawhite @lorenzofertitta
Curveball by Vitor, I'd be down for either.

EDIT: Consider me among those who got absolutely crushed on this card, Redemption was spelt R-E-E-M tonight and it went down the drain with kick to the teeth.

Vitor needs to be ready in case Weidman or Silva get injured imo

Wandy/Sonnen makes sense, a win from either guy legitimately puts them in the title picture for a number 1 contender shot to fight Anderson/Weidman vs Vitor assuming he doesnt lose by then winner in mid-late 2014

Vitor can either fight Machida, Mousasi or wait for the winner of Weidman/Silva

Apparently Chael accepted Vitor fight

Will be interesting to see whether they make the Wandy or Vitor fight

Could see sonnen breaking vitor mentally before the fight

Would love wand fight just because of all the promo material they have

you know what i don't get: browne gets popped by a knee and goes down, then takes a BARRAGE of un-answered punches and heavy knees and yamasaki lets it go

but ubereem takes a front kick and drops, then takes 2 partially-blocked hammerfists and mario waves it off..

why would browne deserves more punishment absorbing respect than alistair?
