It's funny, only a few fights earlier a ref gave Bonnar two 10-8 rounds in his victory. Almost unheard of.

Yeah i can't remember his fight clearly about wether they were deserving 10-8's or not, what did you think? He did dominate the fight for memory

In uncharacteristic fashion, Bonnar used his superior wrestling base to gain the tactical advantage. While I thought he dominated the wrestling and for much of the final two rounds held the top position, I thought Kingsbury's defence was excellent and didn't allow Bonnar to land many meaningful strikes or pull off a submission. I had them as 10-9 rounds because Bonnar wasn't allowed to dominate from his position.

As opposed to Rua who landed a huge amount of significant strikes.... Ah well we move onto the next one, Jones v Machida, can't wait for it.

Mike "The C**T" Bisping v Mayhem Miller is before that on December 5 and should be a good nights entertainment.

Fedor defeated Monson by decision at the M1-Gobal event in Moscow. Dominated the fight but it lacked the intensity of the Wanderlai vs Cung Le and Hendo vs Shogun fights. Sad that we will likely never see him fight in the UFC.

Was the fight on fox?? Hopefully I can catch a replay.

It's certainly a shame we won't see the Fedor of old in the UFC, his last few Strikeforce fights suggest he's past his best.

I watched it on Youtube.
I wonder if the cage has influenced any of Fedor's recent losses. Effectively undefeated in the ring, but 1-3 in the cage?

On Hendo vs Shogun I thought if the 5th round was scored 10-8 then you had to score the same for round 2, so either way Hendo wins 48-47

[wristwatcher]

I agree with the Gravel man( and like the teams he supports) and thats exactly what Hendo said post fight. I had it 48-47 to Hendo.

Chris Leben failed the drug test at UFC 138 and has been suspened for 12 months. He also tested positive to a banned substance in 2008.

2008 was an arrest for DUI. Failed this drug test because he tested positive to opioid painkillers. It's a shame, because he can be an exciting fighter and is one of my favourite MMA personalities.

The fighter and their training team are educated enough to know right from wrong. He's lucky it's not longer....

[Mic]

Get rid of him I reckon.

[Q.]

Get rid of him I reckon.

For non-performance enhancing drug use? Doubt it.

[Gravel]

I read he tested positive to oxycodone and google tells that it increases tolerance to pain.
In 2008 as well as the DUI he tested positive to stanozolo (google-steriod) and was suspended for 9 months.
A pity as one of my favourite fighters and I hope Dana is also a fan.

Brandao's armbar submission. Damn slick



Entertaining card.

Only just caught up with the Dos Santos v Velasquez fight and UFC 139. 139 was pretty good. Enjoyed the Henderson Rua fight. Did anyone else think Rua was out of shape? He looked a lot heavier round the middle than I remember him previously. Maybe it was the tight shorts (ahem).

He looked in better than shape compared to his premature return against Jon Jones. He's never been one who needed to make a drastic cut for weigh-ins.
