You're not telling me there isn't a lightweight in England that could have stepped in for a shot in the UFC against Njkoauni!

Its abit short notice with 3 days to go,with weight cutting, finding someone in peak fitness and of a decent stanard.....the ufc would get hammered by the fans even more if they threw on any old bum......is there no more lightweights on the undercard that could have took that fight instead??

I hate to slag the card off, but Im glad in a way all the cheap tickets sold out fairly quick before I went to buy any as I chose not to go for any of the others and in a way its paid off. A headline fight which would probably be only at most 3rd top slot on one of the Yank cards. No Hathaway, no Taylor, no Bisping, no Hardy. Sorry but it doesnt nothing to get my taste buds going.

I know were your coming from but big names dont always mean its guna be a great card....look at penn diaz...awful event barring the main event....im just looking forward to the ufc experience/atmosphere and hopefully some good scraps! I think leben munoz has the potential to be a good fight,as does the pickett fight....always like watching etim and if its a stand up war then alves is always entertaining.

Ha,just trying to keep my glass half full!!

Really enjoyed my first live UFC experience. Even the weigh ins were massively enjoyable.

I'd say there was only one really boring fight on the card (Omigawa v Young) with John Maguire v Justin Edwards being the fight of the night for me.

Etim's submission is a true highlight reel moment, that will be played out for years to come and the reaction of the crowd was as loud as anything I've heard at other sporting events.

My true highlight of the night though came after the show. Walking back to the hotel we bumped into Chris Leben getting in a van (presumably to the hospital). Fearing the worst, we asked him for a quick picture. He was an amazingly nice bloke, "Yes sure man jump in, dethrone shirt though...really....urgh?" and then talked to us about the fight...all of this with blood still dripping down his face. He is completely mental, but an awesome bloke....

Quality picture that is!

Saw tom 'kong' watson in the foyer sporting an awful union jack shirt..not a good look!!

By the way what the hell was that kid doing in the octagon just before the leben munoz fight??

I missed it just saw him getting carted out but the missus said he scaled the fence to get in!!

Re: MMA,UFC,K1 : Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:20 pm  

Not suprised after that quick finish but terry etims been matched up for another fight already....ufc 142 v edson barboza..great match up that,two rising stars..should be a good fight.

Re: MMA,UFC,K1 : Wed Nov 09, 2011 11:01 am  

The Etim v Barboza fight is a great fight! Etim could have some joy against him if he can take it to ground!
