I don;t understand the hate for Jones at all, I reckon he's awesome. Never had a dull fight and has exceptional skills, he's awesome to watch.

UFC event to be held in Sydney on the 3rd of March, tickets are on sale next week. It's not a major event but I reckon I'll still go.

His persona is being stage managed by the Jackson camp and it's the fakeness that shits people. The whole "This.....Is.....My.....Destiny" in a low voice while striking a Jesus pose is cringeworthy.

Didn't help he was told by Jackson immediately after the fight to check on Machida in order to 'get fans'.

Another good Strikeforce card. Melendez retains his LW title by decision. A 16 second KO by Christine Cyborg (she may have to fight men for competiton?). Good to see Big John McCarthy as a judge in the Melendez fight. Keith Jardine cutting to MW for the Next Strikeforce card. The HW tournament final between Cormier and Barnett to be early 2012

Got my UFC Sydney ticket the other day. The card is looking ordinary but it will still be good fun.

Just watched the 141 countdown, Overeem will destroy Brock IMO. Although I enjoy the whole Brock circus I cant see him winning.

Hoping it lasts at least a couple of rounds.

The only question I have of Overeem is his ability to stuff the takedown. Lesnar will go the hips early, in fact he'll probably charge Overeem in the first seconds :lol:

Dunno what to make of the main event, brocks diverticulitis issues had to be a factor as he couldnt handle a hit to the guts, great pay per view though, JDS v Overeem will be a genuine test for the reem, and Diaz, I love to hate him and his brother as personalities but he fought a great fight, and I liked his show of respect to Cerrone afterwards, not in Edgars league though IMO

You'd be pretty happy throwing one punch and laying a bloke out, with one more to finish for good measure, should be a big night in Vegas for their team!!

Couldn't take it, so disappointing, there was always a question mark by the experts about his chin, but he copped the best Carwin had (at the time had something like 13 knock outs all within first round) but he admitted himself he had one more fight in him max, such a draw card......... Bring on JDS v OVEREEM!!!!

I just looked at the card it does look very ordinary :( . None of my top 10 fighting. Im sure it will still be a hoot but certainly no fights that look like they cant be missed. Te Hunas appearance looks the highlight for mine
