Was away at the weekend but caught up with it last night.

Ah man, I felt bad watching that. Thought the ref should have stepped in as Big Nog was out on his feet.
 
Video of the brawl between Wanderlei and Sonnen on the TUF: Brazil set.

Wanderlei and his coach Dida acting like complete arseholes!

Think it's time for Big Nog to hang them up. Some amazing fights in Pride, and it was great to see him shut Schaub down. I just see almost everybody currently at HW badly beating him now. No point putting himself through any more damage.

I've huge respect for Wanderlei as a fighter but as an individual I've never been a big admirer of his. It was rumoured in Pride that him and his goons were right pricks. The Crazy Horse incident pretty much confirms what muppets they were. Can see Sonnen doing pretty much whatever he chooses to do with Silva once the fight hits the ground.
 
TUF nations final last night. Nothing of note so if you haven't watched it you haven't missed out. The main event was boring as hell.

Interview with Gary Cook talking plans for the UK and Europe. Interesting stuff.

Probably one of the best PPV events in a while.

Jones v Gustaffson up next of the Light Heavyweight title.

Jones made it look easy, but I still don't like his constant eye pokes.

Pretty much this. It's not like it's every now and then, it's every fight, every round. I'm praying to the fight gods that Gustafsson does the job proper this time.

Great card though. Big Jim Miller fan so really happy to see him get the W.
 
It's a minor thing that Jones has adjust cos next time another ref may not be so forgiving as Murgoliotta. Not sure whether Jones feels he is 'invincible' at times, but Glover T, on another night, would have caught him with a wild haymaker and claimed the title. That was my one fear for this latest title bout.

As for Gustaffson? I think he had his chance.

Jones will change up again, instead of engaging with him, and the challenger will be defeated easier next time.

Not sure who is on the horizon to challenge Jones unless a random event like 'Big Country' gets granted a shot!!

Right now, only big hitters have the odd chance cos Jones is way of everyone else in the game... in the UFC...

I disagree Gus May have exposed Jones biggest weakness, which is also his biggest strength, reach. Most of his dominating wins have been due to out reaching his opponents, I think Gus gave us a glimpse of Jones at heavyweight. It's a competitive fight which is why Jones wanted Gus to fight Cormier. I'd love to see Cormier maul Jones which I think is a realistic proposition, with his superior wrestling. On another note, is Gareht A Davies still on Bt? I can't watch with him on he's just a prat.

Wait... Didn't Jones nullify the whole 'reach' aspect by trading in close quarters with Teixeira and coming out the winner(obviously!)? Gustaffson is a volume puncher, but not a big hitter, per se.

As for Cormier, he's a quicker Teixeira, sure, but the wrestling isn't too far from GT, either.

Jones will cut him up with his elbows in close combat and/ or give him a KO to the head with kicks.

DC's game ain't all that.

Cormier is a beast, he has solid wrestling good hands if he needs to use them, and wins over Barnett and Bigfoot. Plus he trains with possibly the fittest most intense guy in the sport. He's also mentally strong and wants a piece of Jones bad, could be a rough night for Jones that.
