Anything MMA, except thumb wrestling

AA's chin fails him in 30secs


looked like a quick stoppage

It did but I don't think Andre was getting up. He was prone, big time.

[StillUnknown]

after seeing the replay, i take that back, good stoppage

AA went limp on his feet

[WALEOVECHKIN]

Knew it would happen. Chin of glass v. serious hands, recipe for an upset. Arly also took it on short notice...Rogers is a beast, watch out Alistair...

[Chachie]

Shields! Wow. He was overwhelmed at first but used kicks and clutch to calm Robbie's storm and then got the guillotine.

[StillUnknown]

Lawler got lazy in the clinch and got choked out

[WALEOVECHKIN]

As soon as Lawler stood up, that ended it...the choke was sunk in then. His sub defense is either really ****ty or he panicked uncharacteristically.

forgot to protect his neck in the clinch, he basically gave Shields the choke. can't give a guy like that a choke and not expect him to finish

he just better be lucky his title wasn't on the line

Yeah after the replays it seems like he got a little sloppy and Shields has world class subs. Shields and Diaz will 100% not fight each other so Strikeforce better bring in some guys lol

if any of you here follow Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the 2009 World Championships have been going on the last couple of days in California

Roger Gracie facing his teammate Romulo Barral in the finals of the Black Belt Open Weight division tomorrow (Roger Gracie's 7th consecutive open weight finals at the World's)

Not watching the event, but is Rogers legit? Can we expect to see him in the UFC? While he's fighting in a nothing org (albeit hw seems to be the strength), he did beat AA. Maybe he's earned it. The UFC HW division could use some fresh faces.

[Opiate-Zeo]

I think Rogers is very legit. I doubt Strikeforce is gonna let him go. Him vs Overeem should be a good fight.

[Special K]

I recorded the fights and watched when I got home...I thought it was a really good card all around.

The Rogers vs. Arlovski fight was classic, lol. Rogers was on beatdown radio before the fight and predicted exactly what Arlovski would do. Rogers said he would stand there until Arlovski threw strikes then backed up then he would hit him one time and the fight would be over, lololol. I'm sorry, but that's hilarious.

Note to Arlovski: please change your gameplan because your opponents don't respect your strategy anymore

Seriously, that's bad when Rogers goes on Beatdown and pretty much says exactly what's going to happen, lol.

Glad you said that, I was just going to say the replays showed him limp for a half a second.

But I agree, the initial view looked like a quick stoppage...which had me scratching my head a bit b/c McCarthy is one of the best refs, if not THE best ref, in the business. But the replays definitely showed the KO and the stop was appropriate.

As soon as Lawler stood up, that ended it...the choke was sunk in then. His sub defense is either really ****ty or he panicked uncharacteristically.

As soon as anyone stands up in an attempt to get out of a guillotine or triangle they're pretty much done. Shields is a pretty badass submission guy in mma, I'm surprised Lawler didn't prepare as much and got caught off-guard like that.

[StillUnknown]

seeing Hughes looking depressed in Lawler's corner was pretty funny

UFC needs a ref cam

How about the look that Mark Coleman had on his face after Baroni lost? He had just watched two of his best friends lose in the first two fights on the main card. I was not sure whether he was going to cry or charge across the ring and spear somebody.
