Ufc 130

[Mr. IWS]

Well, I was discussing on here with someone (Luke maybe) about the takedown style of Story being more like Fitch than Koscheck. Basically a fence presser.

This was probably the main reason that I didn't bet Alves, so Kudos to you for pointing that our for me, because I would have been on Alves.

[Mr. IWS]

I don't think Mir looked very good personally. I thought they both looked shitty, with Mir being less shitty. He did hit a sweet throw though.

On a side note, my home boy said I got Hair like Mir, body like Nelson.

Dana White is a dick. I really don't think that fight was that bad. Josh Koscheck vs Paul Daley (a co main event)was pretty boring but he gave Koscheck a title fight. He hasn't criticized GSP lately. Dana must have wanted one of those guys to destroy each other so he could make one a title contender with Brock out.

Dana White told Helwani that Machida is next for Jones if Rampage can't fight due to his hand.

That's bullshit. I just don't get the criticism of Mir or of the fight. I thought it was an awesome fight and much more worthy of FOTN than Stann/Santiago.

Interesting.

I think Machida should have to get at least one more win before another title shot, but I think he's the most interesting style matchup for Jones.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, I think jones would smash rampage. If that fight were confirmed, I would bet it at the -305 line for sure.

I guess Story wants Fitch

[SPX]

I would say that that's the fight that makes the most sense.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.

Wow, only $15K for Roy Nelson? I'm surprised he's working off of a standard TUF contract.
