UFC 151 Cancelled - Oh lawd

I think Vitor can win. He has a very good shot standing and I think his grappling is very good. I beat the crap out of Anthony Johnson. I think this is a very interesting matchup. This will be awesome to watch.

^^ He could win, he could land a shot standing. But most likely Jones is going to take him down and batter him and make everyone sad again like they were when he destroyed Shogun.

Didn't Anthony Johnson take down Belfort pretty easy a couple times? I remember there being some pretty early stand ups. Then Johnson gassed and just gave up.

Yep. It is going to happen. The only issue is Jones may willingly stand, as he has been doing lately.

So I guess we're not getting any UFC for like a month.

WTF? Is this 2004?

[Svino]

First off, I'm not sure why you would call Belcher "third-tier." He's probably like 2 fights away from a title shot.

And yeah, if Vitor KOs Jones then it will be a happy day. Is this fight even for the title? If I hear the words "and NEWWWWWW light heavyweight champion of the world" then I'll piss in my pants.

Maybe 1 fight away even, but I actually don't think Belcher is that good, it has more to do with the fact that the top 10 middleweights have been fighting each other and losing occasionally, killing their title runs.

I see no reason the LW title wouldn't be on the line. Unless Jones wants to come down to 195 and challenge Vitor for his Franklin/Rumble-weight belt.

So what is Palhares then, like 4th tier?

[poopoo333]

I think Belcher is top 10 but at the very bottom

[Svino]

So what is Palhares then, like 4th tier?

Previously 2nd, recent loss might drop him to 3rd.

In my own totally-official ranking system, of course.

[MMA_scientist]

I think that time off did some good for Belcher. He might be a beast now.

[poopoo333]

Belcher just tweeted he wasn't mad about Belfort getting pulled...said it was a blessing in disguise...he has a spinal fracture.

[SPX]

Spinal fracture? That sounds serious.

Belcher can't get a break. (No pun intended.)

[poopoo333]

Guess not...says he will be back in November

[SPX]

That early? Well that's not so bad.

Bum

They should just treat Jones like they would have in the 1700s.


















Too far?

BOFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
