Good call man.
Wrestled for 3 years in high school. Took some Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the best place in my area for a minute too,
MMA is good entertainment.

[BillDavis]

Nevermind earlier... Because THAT was a vicious knockout.

If you haven't and want to see the Corey Hill fight from last night's undercard:

Also if you didn't hear he breaks his leg and this video is pretty graphic.

YouTube - Corey Hill Broken Leg *Best Version*

Also Al-Hassan's arm wasn't broke even though it looked like it. Read that his right elbow was dislocated but they popped it back into place after the fight but he did suffer ligament damage.

[doindia]

man some of the most brutal fights ever and they were free!

yeah all that shit was insane and im going to need some sort of official news that husseins arm didnt break, i watched that shit on 50 inches of plasma and by god that fucker snappped
haha

does anyone have any other sources of what bill speaks of?

[BillDavis]

UFC newcomer Razak Al-Hussan is also suspended indefinitely for his joint-popping armbar loss to former WEC light heavyweight champion Steve Cantwell. Ringside doctor Sara Neal will require Al-Hussan to see an orthopedic doctor before being cleared to fight again.

Al-Hassan was treated and released from the hospital Wednesday night after suffering a dislocated right elbow.

The following figures are based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.

Although mixed martial arts fighters do not have collective bargaining or a union, the fighters' salaries are still public record, just as with every other major sport in the United States. Any undisclosed bonuses that a promoter also pays its fighters, but does not disclose to the athletic commissions (specifically, pay-per-view bonuses, fight of the night bonuses, etc.), are not included in the figures below.

In the listings below, "Main Event Fighters" are defined as fighters who compete in the main event of a show. "Main Card Fighters" are defined as fighters whose fights appear on the main card, but not in the main event. "Preliminary Card Fighters" are defined as fighters whose matches take place before the live broadcast goes on the air, regardless of whether or not those matches end up airing on the TV or Internet broadcast.

damn thats some sweet ass info


and before reading his ufc article i would have agreed with you about Junie. i hated him on the show, but apparently he has changed his life around, moved to Las Vegas and started training with extreme couture. he has stopped the parties, drinking and childish shit he was into and you can tell by the way he came out in this last fight. im far from liking him just yet, but im all for seeing someone turn there life around for the good.


stayin tuned for the 27th
