I can't believe Edgar didn't get knocked out that first round!

I'm with you on this scoring. Give Edgar credit for surviving but I'm not sure how he could have received 48-46 in any round. The fight as a whole I didn't care for.

Frankie Edgar, Brandon Vera, Marcus Davis and Phil Baroni all received lengthy suspensions due to nasal fractures.


10-8, first round. Then Edgar winning the next 4. 48-46 Edgar. If you give Maynard Rd3 then 47-47. If he wins the 5th rd also, 48-46 Maynard.

I personally had it 47-47, unless they gave him a 10-7 first round. It's pretty rare for NSAC to give a 10-7 though.

baroni is also cut from the ufc

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the pay day information for UFC 125: Resolution. Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar ($102,000) and light heavyweight Thiago Silva ($110,000) led the pack.

The total pay out was $872,000.

The UFC sold 12,688 tickets for a $2,174,780 live gate.

The pay per view is expected to be in the lower range for UFC events with MMA Payout predicting about 400,000 buys. It's entirely possible the event exceeded PPV expectations.

Is anyone as excited about UFC 126 as I am!?!?!

[goalie204]

yep, good card.

[goalie204]

great strikeforce, even the undercard, way better than any ufc in a long time

[NCRadioMan]

Holy thread revival Batman!

UFC now owns Strikeforce! Says Scott Coker still in place and it's business as usual!

I said that a while back.... dude is so talented its scary...

[MiamiE]

I have said that from the first time I saw this kid fight, and everyone would say "oh he is rough", "he is just a street fighter". This guy has come quite a ways from his first fight. I am very proud and happy for him, and I hope he knocks Rashad out!

And isn't it odd that it was Joe Silva who contacted Keith Jardine to fight Mousasi this weekend for Strikeforce.

Saturdays fights should be good. Two title fights with a lot of leather being throw and Mousasi dealing with jardine's herky-jerky.

I am taking Diaz over Daley. I'd really like to see these two d-bags beat the piss out of eat other. Daley has that one shot KO power but that is it. Diaz is the smarter fighter and has all the tools. He'll pepper Daley until he decides to take to the ground for the win.

[goalie204]

also MFC and Bellator

[goalie204]

great strikeforce, easy to win my parlay of bets, except mousasi's illegal upkick made it a draw and i lost! Damn you mousassi!

Great event tho, all 4 fights were awesome

[wayner123]

It was a great strikeforce. You have to give Jardine credit for his heart. He kept coming.

The Diaz fight was awesome too.

[LasciviousXXX]

Just a few more hours and we're headed out to a sports bar to watch the UFC fights with friends. An absolutely STACKED fight card! My picks below!

GSP vs Jake Shields
Aldo vs Hominick
Matyushenko vs Brilz
Couture vs Machida (even though I'm rooting for Capt America)
Bocek vs Henderson
Diaz vs MacDonald
Pierson vs Ellenberger

A great card!

UFC 131
Carwin vs JDS
Florian vs Nunes
Maia vs Munoz
Cerrone vs Rocha
Stout vs Edwards
Pokrajac vs Soszynski
Beltran vs ?

[LasciviousXXX]

I know our MMA talk has dwindled in the last year but I sincerely hope some of you caught last nite's event. UFC 132 was probably their best and most action-packed card of the year

Great performances and really exciting fights!
