Fuckin sick

and I "jizzed in my pants"


Yeah bobbitt all of the cards are loaded with the exception of 135. Why is there an * next to Rua and Le? 5 round fights?

I think it means they still aren't technically official

i can't wait for this fucking fight omg this is going to be nutting fucks

Should be 5 rounds as well as I'm assuming this is definitely main event

Will it even last past the 3rd?

yea probably will. winner is definitely scoring a tittle shot

Yeah Cung is a big draw there and Vitor is Vitor, but you can't put them as the last fight over Hendo and Shogun. I know they will say Co-main event fights though. Nobody puts Hendo in the corner!

136-140 is the best five card line up ever in the history of the UFC.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't think this one is a guaranteed KO. Both of these guys have shown stamina issues past the early rounds before, should be interesting

I don't think the winner will wait for Rashad to have his shot first. I think the winner fights again before a title shot.

Well it could only be like a 6-8 month wait depending on when Rashad vs winner gets scheduled

Damn, hopefully i can find somebody to go to UFC 139 with me while there are decent seats available.

Hendo-Shogun is one of the last PRIDE fights that we never got.

It can go eitheir way, Hendo has been rocked in his last two fights by Fejiao and Fedor but he's rocked each of them more.

I think Hendo keeps the train rolling and defeats Mauricio Rua.

as long as rua doesnt come in the shape he came in the first forrest/second machida fight he should pick hendo apart in the last 3 rounds to get the dec. However there is an 80% chance hendo will come in agressive looking for the ko and put away rua within 2

Hendo has to use his wrestling in this if he wants the best chance to win. Yes he can ko Rua but Rua is faster in the stand up. Either can win this but I lean 60-40 to Rua.

This is going to be a sick fight, I'd bet a lot of money on this one to end in TKO/KO.

Hendo comes in like a mad man shooting that insane right hand and gets rocked and finished early.

Rua should stay away from the clinch and he should win this

Throwdown talking about Rua's conditioning in the 2nd Machida fight is by far the best running meme on this site

that was the fight where he was so out of shape right? Despite being likely the fastest LHW i've ever seen ever that particular night.
