What do you guys think, lawler or hendricks?
Im taking the underdog and going with ruthless robbie lawler, the dude is a bad mother fucker. But i can see hendricks trying to throw the left bomb and failing and pulling a lay and pray for the next four rounds.

I'd like to see either of them win, honestly! Robbies story is great, dude is on an impressive as fuck streak and if he doesn't get it with this chance, he likely won't make it back to contendership before he retires

Hendricks' win streak is next to nobodies in that division, I thought he beat GSP when they fought, and he's HUNGRY! I think he'd make a really interesting WW champion

I'm going with Hendricks though for the win

 

[spazatak]

IF hendricks brings out what he did to GSP then hendricks will win...

guy has some heavy bombs and i dont think Robbie will be able to handle it

 

[Bublonichronic]

Lawler prolly in over his head, but I'd love to see him win...mostly want to see how woodley handles someone like condit

 

[LITSWD]

I'm taking lawler, he could definitely get caught but he's talented as fuck, and as long as he's in the right mindset it's his to win.
Taking Condit over Woodley, just because he's one of my favourite fighters. Fucking brings it every time, and his just a mad fighter.
Hoping Sanchez can get a nice win for himself too but we'll see what happens there.
And fuck me the prelims had some damn good fights.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Damn, there were some interesting moments in that fight!

I counted a few times where Hendricks got rocked and stumbled back and it looked like his knees buckled, one uppercut Lawler threw in the 3rd round and another even worse one in the 4th. I gave rounds 1 and 2 to Hendricks, 3 and 4 to Lawler and 5 could have went either way, I think the takedown at the end in desperation mode from Hendricks is what secured the win, that, the hometown advantage and the pressure bias from the UFC as I think Hendricks would make a more marketable champion. Lawler had really good head movement and his boxing was great, his jab is incredible! He must have hit Hendricks with that thing 100 times during the fight!

Miles Jury looked pretty impressive

The kick from Woodley was ugly! I wonder how long Condit is going to be out, that looked like an ACL injury to me, so probably 12 months at least..

 

[socaljoe]

Hendricks showed that he is champion material last night. Lawler was hitting him with clean, hard shots and Jonny had no answer for them, but he rallied and came back strong in the fifth...a lot of guys would've given up. That ability to dig deep will make him a good champion.

I was really looking forward to seeing a five rounder between Hendricks and Condit for the title...damn.

 

[LITSWD]

Haven't watched the Lawler fight yet. He has some slick uppercuts but, I remember one of his fights against an orthodox fighter he slips to the outside of his jab and throws a right uppercut in and just drops him like a sack of 'tatoes. It's feels so awkward trying to do it but fuck he makes it look easy. And fuck I was SHATTERED when Condit did his knee, was definitely an injury. Woodley has some power but he wouldn't be able to stop him with a leg kick, especially with Condit's durability.
And I take it that means Fury Jury beat Sanchez then? Damn....

The Condit Hendrix fight already happened when they were seeing who was gonna fight GSP I honostly thought condit wo that except for the scoring of takedowns by hendrix if they score takedowns they should also score the other guy if he can effectively get back to his feet

I know they already fought, I'm saying that I was looking forward to seeing them in a five rounder for the title.

 

[Bublonichronic]

I wouldn't mind Lawler hendriks rematch

 

[haulinbass]

Does hendricks look like a bobblehead when in fighting position to anyone else

 

[skidsteer]

Johnny Hendricks is the man. And robbie is a beast too. Def want to see that rematch. Sucks for condit he always puts on a good show.

[Bublonichronic]

Lol he just walked up and kicked that guy in the face

 

[LITSWD]

Fuck being that dude. How about Shogun v Hendo 2 ay?
Pissed for Shogun, he was doin alright until that. Right that sent his nose splintering into his brain.

 

[haulinbass]

I thought hendos now weak chin would let him down and it almost did, he may not take a punch like before but that right hand is still the fuckin h-bomb.

 

[LITSWD]

Aw fuck yeah, not the biggest fan of the term but if the shoe fits ay. What's the next card?

Figured I'd just stop bein a lazy prick and look it up myself. Big Country vs Big Nog. Should be a good fight. I reckon Nelson by KO/TKO. Love Nogueira, but his chin ain't shit compared to Nelson's and I think they both know that.
Also, fuck yeah, Thales Leites is fighting on the same card. He should be doing a lot better than he has been, plenty of potential.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Have you guys heard about the elimination of the Sub of the Night and KO of the night, and instead implementing the "Performance of the Night"?

Also worth $50,000

BUUUUUULLLLLLLSHIT!

Imo, I think this is just another way for the UFC to cut financial corners and eliminate one of their most exciting incentives to finish fights...

Fuck!

http://www.mmamania.com/2014/2/12/5402732/ufc-eliminates-knockout-submission-of-the-night-post-fight-adds-performance-bonuses-mma

"Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is doing away with its traditional "Submission of the Night" (SOTN) and "Knockout of the Night" (KOTN) post-fight bonuses, instead offering a "Performance of the Night" monetary incentive alongside "Fight of the Night," which will remain a part of the bonus structure."

 

[haulinbass]

Yeah I read about that these guys are already for the most part making less a year from fight purses that your average quick lube employee now the chance of them winning the one bonus for an entire card is next to impossible if your not the main event. I'd rather be a nobody undercard boxer and take home 50-100gs a fight than be Johnny Hendricks of Nate Diaz fighting for 40gs a fight and maybe get two fights in a year.
