[Casshern]

You guys really think Hunto is gonna get TKO'd for the first time in his career?

I think if he loses it will be via a rare Kongo sub.

were you thinking the same when Mir fought Nog?

[ftwrestler]

kongo by either GnP or sub if he manages to take him down

but i think hunto will take it on the feet

[yeezy45]

Henderson via decision
Hunt via KO
Shields via sub
Rampage via KO
Pettis via decision

[Von Brawn]

[Casshern]

second time?

I believe that was called a KO.

I'm not saying it can't happen, I am just saying it's a big move to bet against Hunt's chin.

[gilbertocalzoni]

I believe that was called a KO.

And your point beeing what?

[Casshern]

And your point beeing what?

That Hunt doesn't get beaten down and has never been TKO'd. On the chance he is on the ground it is always easier to submit him rather than try and pound him enough that the ref stops it.

I hope this clears things up for you and your sports bra, brah.

Again i'm not saying it can't happen, but I think it's near the bottom of the list of possibilities.

[Road2Perfection]

^ Like I said, were you expecting Mir to KO Nog? regardless of how tough your chin has been throughout the years, your age will catch up to you one way or another and then it's boom lights out.

Yeah it's true, I was just curious that you guys called a TKO, not a sub or KO. I'd be surprised to see Hunto get beaten down and have it stopped by a ref. Just wondering how you guys see it going down.

[Motaba]

The question is, will we see a 3rd rematch?

Henderson looks quite larger than Edgar...dis gonna be good.

[lev1athan]

Lauzon and his camp looked quite wierd in the countdown...like they just sobered up after yrs of drug abuse or something.

[Road2Perfection]

I see what you're saying now, I think it will be either a KO or tko then.


I guess the weigh ins will be around noon over there? should be interesting here's link: http://www.ufc.tv/ufc/video/ufc-144-weigh-in/1252

[Casshern]

From what I heard the weigh-in's are gonna be like 11pm so it lines up with the normal time in the US, or is it the other way around?

[GraveDiggah]

Any stream without the jap translator?

[Road2Perfection]

Yea it will be at 11pm est.

As far as translators, I don't think they will use any since it's just weigh ins. For the conferences, use headphones and hear from the right speaker - left speaker is the translator.

[deadlift_405]

I wonder how Rampage felt after Rogan said "Rampage is over weight and will forfeit 20% of his purse to Ryan Bader." That's going to be a substantial amount of money for Bader, especially if he turns it into fight of the night or even pulls out a victory. Clearly Rampage was having some difficulties in camp , and maybe the excitement of Japan will cause a burn out on Rampage's part.

[BlackRadio]

damn that Japanese ring card girl is gorgeous. I'm most excited for Hunt v Kongo. Rampage just doesn't care anymore it seems. Weighed in at 211.

[Blue Blazer]

Zhang
Mizugaki
Kid
Gomi
Lauzon (maybe wishful thinking)
Palaszewski
Okami
Shields
Kongo
Rampage
Edgar

[rocketlove]

yeah that japanese girl is mad cute.

rampage overweight, but hopefully he's motivated to fight seeing it's in japan.
if he ko's bader, can he still get kotn (his money back?)




bendo - decision
rampage - ko
hunt - decision/tko

okami - decision
