I disagree, Mills is a good fighter. MCDonald is just that good.
Mills had no business being part of the co main event. I missed the first minute/minute and a half of the first round & he was already getting slaughtered. Loved McDonald's stance during the ref's instructions, almost scary.

Also, is it just me or is the LHW division looking pretty uninteresting?
Rampage is done, Shogun is fucked up from all the surgeries, Hendo is 40. Machida and Evans are still fine but Jones already showed they don't present much of a threat. Who else is there? The swedish kid perhaps?

You nailed it! Jones has pretty much cleaned out the division. The swedish kid isnt anywhere near being ready to fight Jones. As long as Jones has that reach advantage, nobody will beat him. Hendo has a chance if he can land the "H" bomb. I think Jones will eventually have to go up to heavyweight division. Rogan made a comment that Jones normally walks around at around 230 pds or so.

I don't know if it was just me, but I wasn't incredibly impressed with Jones last night. Obviously he won the fight, but I thought he could have went in and finished it when he had Evans wobbled. Same thing with Evans....when he caught Jones, he didn't go and capitalize on it. The past few fights, it seems that Jones, especially in the beginning of each fight, is getting real tentative. I only see that getting worse as he continues to fight....no taking the risks that put him in the position he is in.

I love how Dana is playing down the move to heavyweight for Jones. i think that has more to do with Jones being UFC's future cash cow and cross over star. Dana knows that if Machida and Evans can connect and wobble Jones, any mid tier heavyweight is going to flatten Jones if they connect. if that were to happen, there goes the UFC cross over star.

I didn't think the main event was boring at all, Jones completely shut down Rashad's offence and got his chin tested by a hard High KIck and a hard right. He was pushing the pace until the last bell and busting up Rashad's face with elbows. The only thing I didn't like was randomly pulling guard with no intention of actually doing a submission. It was stupid and if he tries that shit on Hendo or a heavyweight if he ever moves up, it could cost him. If he gets past Hendo, They should merge the Strikeforc LHW division too and bring over King Mo, Mousasi, and Feijao. It weird that LHW was considered teh most stacked division a couple years ago and now that Bones has nearly cleared out the division, it seems kind of thin.

Rory Mac has the makings of a future champion, I was a fan of his ever since I saw him almost beat Condit and event still it was a kind of controversial call because he was still defending. He should get a top ten welterweight nest, either give him the winner of Kos vs Hendricks or Erick Silva if he gets past Brenneman. Then, if Nick DIaz ever decides to come back and Rory beats his next opponent, have them fight.

Schaub always looks hilarious when he gets knocked the fuck out.

Mcdonald's win over Torres was impressive as well.

Thompson was dissappointing, he need to work on his TDD and after GSP gets healthy, hopefully they'll work on that together at Tristar.

I agree, I thought it was a great fight. Disappointed that Rashad didn't put it all on the line at some point.

..and my god it seems like the rivalry was actually for real for once. They never hugged, never complimented each other or even shook hands as far as I know.

Chuck Liddel Would Consider a Return to the Octagon, But Only to Fight Jon Jones

Retired (Ultimate Fighting Championship) stalwart Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell would consider returning to the Octagon, but only for a shot at the UFC light heavyweight crown currently held by the division’s supreme kingpin, Jon “Bones” Jones.

Original quotes reported by MMAMania.com

“The only thing that would even make me think about it is if they gave me a shot at the title. So, we'll see. For now? Yeah. Jon Jones. I don't wanna come back as a sideshow. It's just one of those things. It's not something I wanna do,” Liddell said.

Save for Tito Ortiz, who has five title defenses, Liddell and Frank Shamrock share the distinction of being the only two fighters in the company’s history to have had the pleasure of successfully defending the 205-pound belt on four separate occasions.

In his heyday, the Californian native was one of the most, if not the most recognizable faces associated with MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and the Zuffa-based outfit.

En route to usurping the light heavyweight title from Randy “The Natural” Couture, Liddell had defeated the likes of Kevin Randleman, Vitor Belfort, Renato Sobral, Alistair Overeem and Ortiz.

However, in May of 2007 at UFC 71—defending his title for a fifth time against Quinton Jackson—the once-formidable Iceman would encounter the first of four devastating and cataclysmic losses.

A split decision defeat to Keith Jardine followed thereafter, though he did redeem himself of sorts with a win over Wanderlei Silva, the writing was on the wall—three concussive knockouts at the hands of Rashad Evans, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Rich Franklin all but sent him into retirement.


Liddell’s inability to take a punch in the final stages of his career (something he readily admits to) and his penchant for standing and banging are a few of the reasons which hastened his demise.

"You know, it was a hard decision to make, to retire, but it wasn't like I couldn't compete with guys. I can't quite take a punch like I used to and I didn't wanna change my style. I could start wrestling and try to control guys, but then I still got the chance of getting hit hard. It just wasn't the way I wanted to fight. I fought so many years, and I wanted to go out fighting the way I like to fight: exciting and fun."

If the future UFC Hall of Famer is tempted out of retirement for another shot at UFC gold, he’ll have his work cut out, as Jones has destroyed everything in his path—not to mention four former champions in Rua, Jackson, Lyoto Machida and, most recently, “Suga” Rashad at UFC 145.

Whether that fight transpires or not, the 42-year-old Liddell (21-8 MMA, 16-7 UFC) has a lot of respect for the 24-year-old phenom. However, even though Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) has never been legitimately defeated, Liddell believes, tough as it may be, it’s a feat that can be achieved.

"I'll never say never. Not in this sport. Anybody can lose at any time. If he keeps doing what he does, he's gonna be hard to beat if he keeps doing what he's doing. He follows his game plan. He trains hard. He keeps learning. He's young and he's athletic and a great athlete. He's a great guy. He's gonna be hard to beat, but I'm never gonna say no one's gonna beat him."

I'd love to see Chuck fight again, but his chin just won't allow it. He was arguably winning all the fights that he got knocked out in. Chuck wouldn't get past Bones Jone's reach, and would eventually be KOed or TKoed. It would be great to see Chuch fighting a lower level of competition, or at least guys without KO power. Chuck Liddell vs. Chael Sonnen would be a great fight if Sonnen loses to Anderson Silva.

Lombard vs. Stann will make a great fight.

Shogun is in a strange position where he's probably better than the whole division other than the champ, who he will never be able to beat.

UFC 148 looks insane now that they moved Silva/Sonnen to that card

ME- Silva/SOnnen
CoME- Cruz/Faber
Main Card- Griffin/Ortiz, Franklin/Le, Bisping Boetsch, Kim/Maia
Undercard- Barao/Menjivar, Tibau/Nurmabookolovitchtahtguytahtbeatkamalshalorus, Phillopou/Fukuda, Guillard/Camoes

Great night of fights! I didnt watch the Fuel fights, but the Fox fights were excellent.

Jim Miller is officially a "gatekeeper" of his division.
Once Diaz found his range, the fight shifted & you could
see Miller didnt like getting hit they way he was getting hit.
The reach advantage did in Miller.
Impressed big time with Diaz. I suppose he will fight the
winner of the Henderson/Edgar 2 fight? I would prefer to see
him fight Henderson than Frankie. That would be a great fight.
I thought Hendrix won the fight. Hendrix nailed Koschek with
some shots.
Belcher looked good as well.
Pat Barry? Well, Barry is Barry. The guy needs to fight to his
strengths vs. standing there toe to toe with a guy throwing
bombs the way that other guy did.

Great fights tonight, I'm kinda bummed about Palhares and Barry losing, I was pulling for them, but Belcher and Johnson were on tonight. Nate Diaz impressed the shit about me, too. It would be kind of funny if Nate gets a title before Nick. Hendricks should be really sloe to a title shot, too.

The majority of the websites I read predicted Jim Miller was going to win.
Palhares got his ass handed to him didnt he?
IMO, Nate has a few more tricks up his sleeve than Nick. Nick would rather stand & box the majority of fight, while Nate throws in more kicks, knees, & other stuff. That submission was a thing of beauty wasnt it?
I mentioned Nate fighting Pettis, but I think not. I dont think Pettis is a draw. And let's say Henderson beats Edgar again, who wants to see a
Henderson/Pettis 2? I'd rather see Henderson/Diaz 1.

I was particularly impressed that Belcher TKO'd him in his guard, which is like the last place you want to be when fighting Palhares, IIRC he did the same thing the Jason McDonald who has an excellent guard as well.

Nate does deem to utilize more tools, but Nick is better at boxing and better when it hits the ground. Nate just got his blackbelt and Nick has had his for a few years now. I dunno about no one wanting to see Bendo/Pettis 2, the first fight was so close that I would love to see it again, but Bendo/Diaz does sound good, too. I think Nate said he wants one more fights before a title fight, and Pettis (IMO) should win at least one more time before fighting for the, so I think we should see Pettis/DIaz first.

Also, how badass did NAte look when he taunted Jim, took a front kick right in the face, and kept taunting him. Sometimes the taunting loses the Diaz's fights (like Nick vs. Condit) but they still look badass, even when they lose. No one dominates a Diaz. Well, except maybe Rory Mac.

Sometimes the taunting loses the Diaz's fights (like Nick vs. Condit) but they still look badass, even when they lose. No one dominates a Diaz. Well, except maybe Rory Mac.
Rory Mac fight- that was in a different weight class wasnt it?
Yeah, I was embarrassed for Nate watching Rory take him down
like he was a wet towel. MacDonald is f'n beast.

Belcher beating Toquinho was a shock to me, I couldn't believe how effectively he defended on the ground. Kosheck vs. Hendriks really could have gone either way. I felt a bit sorry for Pat Barry, he just seems to lose his concentration in every fight, I don't understand why he didn't shoot for a takedown while he was getting pummeled up against the cage or at least try to clinch. Diaz won in a dominant fashion, and I'd like to see him fight Benderson whether he wins or loses against Edgar. I wouldn't want to see Nate fight a returning BJ Penn if that happens anytime soon.

And already the 148 card is getting fucked up because of injuries, Dominick Cruz tore his ACL and is out of his fight with Uriah.

Watching the Nate Diaz fight, I can't help but think that the best fight ever wouldn't be Pride shogun vs pride Wanderlei silva, or Anderson vs Bones, Anderson vs Machida. etc.

The best fight EVER would have to be Nate vs Nick. Just imagining BOTH of them with the taunting, the stalking, plodding forward with no regards to defense whatsoever...probably for 5 rounds...hahaha. That would be so fucking EPIC.

It would certainly be more interesting than a Klitchko Brother 12 round jab fest.
