I knew as soon as I saw Guillard walk into the cage that he was going to lose. Guy bought his own hype again. He is just too stupid to be good.

Hate myself for betting him. Hate.

Jorge Santiago got cut

**SPX** · 10-17-2011, 08:02 PM

Not a huge surprise. I wouldn't have minded it if he had gotten an easier fight though to see if he would be a good gatekeeper. Stann and Maia is kind of a rough welcoming party.

Dave Meltzer: UFC 136 Did 250,000 Pay Per View Buys

**SPX** · 10-20-2011, 02:24 PM

That's disappointing. I was hoping it did at least 350K.

Pretty gay that two title fights and a grudge match like Maynard/Edgar only pulls in a quarter of a million buys.

**MMA_scientist** · 10-20-2011, 02:49 PM

I have come to the conclusion that most people really don't like MMA. There are only a few fighters that people are willing to pay to see, and it really has nothing to do with their ability.

**Vandelay** · 10-24-2011, 09:17 PM

These videos are just awesome to watch.

**SPX** · 10-24-2011, 10:01 PM

I agree. That inside look at shit is priceless.

Brian Stann:

"You can do all the right things in practice against guys who are world class, but when you get Chael on top of you, it's just different . . . it's just different."

Thats rare that a guy says that, even though its the truth.

**SPX** · 10-26-2011, 02:30 PM

Yeah, Stann doesn't strike me as a guy who makes a lot of excuses. He's tells things pretty straight.

Gotta get some Sonnen at that price. In fact, I just did.

**Mr. IWS** · 10-31-2011, 04:34 PM

all in on Silva

Hrm. I was hoping for a better line, but I might bet on Sonnen anyway.

I wonder if the late casual-fan money will come in on Silva.

**SPX** · 10-31-2011, 04:48 PM

I put enough on him to win a unit. If it gets better I'll probably drop some more on him.

I guess it comes down to believing one of two things was a fluke:

1. Sonnen winning 23 minutes of a 25 minute fight.
2. Silva catching a triangle with 2 minutes to go after getting dominated for 23 minutes.

**MMA_scientist** · 10-31-2011, 05:43 PM

^ or if you believe Silva was hampered by an injury, as I do.

**SPX** · 10-31-2011, 06:31 PM

My biggest problem with the injury excuse is that I just don't think he would've taken the fight if he felt it was anything more than a minor annoyance going into it. Why would he?
