Starting with Fedor's retirement fight on Thursday, this weekend has been nothing but non-stop MMA action. My brain is mush right now. Only the Brazilian crowd at UFC 147 is keeping me going. And it's a shame because I really wanted to break down the MMA Math on what it means for Mike Russow to last longer against Werdum than Fedor did, even though Russow knocked out Todd Duffee, who was destroyed by Ubereem, who had a very boring fight with Fabricio Werdum this time last year (the only clear thing to take from that is Werdum would probably defeat Todd Duffee in the second round.) The heavyweight division is so muddy beyond JDS and Reem it's ridiculous, but here comes Vai Cavalo on the horizon.

Werdum has looked incredible since his return to the UFC...Like, TRT incredible. First he pulled a Three Stooges style move on Roy Nelson, then he soundly defeats Mike Russow in front of an adoring Brazilian crowd. Check out the uppercut that brought down the big Russow after a minute or so of Werdum having his way with him. Pure dominance which led to Werdum almost vaulting himself out of the octagon.

Besting someone is like a more eloquent way of saying beating someone... so... still works.

How awful/awesome would it be of Werdum had injured himself jumping out of the cage? That would've lived on in sports blooper reels forever.

Yamasaki is a fucking idiot. He lost that fight for Wanderlei, and made the main event lackluster because of it...Fucking moron. Horrible reffing pulls through again

I think Wand lost that fight all by himself. Yamasaki actually did a great job reffing that fight. Ace was "trying" to improve his position, which he did. Rich won a good fight.

At least only part of his post was bold this time. Great fight, pretty exciting the whole time. And solid reffing in my opinion.

are you fucking kidding me? Herb Dean (who I love) lost that fight for Big Nog too... He said "quit hitting him in the head" when he wasn't even hitting him in the back, and when you say anything to a person who isn't a native english speaking person, he's gonna be confused. So he stopped everything and went for the choke, if Herb just kept his mouth shut Nog would have won that fight, and Herb admitted he fucked up in a post fight interview. So yeah bold the fuck up

Once again Joe Silva proves why he's simply horrible. Injuries or not, that was the worst line up of any UFC yet, who the fuck were 95% of those guys?

That crap shouldn't have even fallen under the UFC banner. They should make a UFC Brazil sub company if they insist on an all Brazilian line up, no matter how obscure the fighters are.

Lol you clearly don't see the point of holding an event in Brazil. If every single fighter was American, none of the local Brazilians would buy tickets to see someone they care zero percent about.

This makes me sad. You are making yourself sound like a typical beer canned, pot bellied American who only wants to see Americans fight and would no doubt yell USA the whole time.

Look at any of the events held in any country other than the United States and Zuffa/UFC tries to put as many of the local nationalities on the card. Card in Great Britain? Bunch of Brits. Card in Japan? Bunch of Japanese. Brazil!? Bunch of Brazilians! Who woulda thought!

Difference being that I know who the Japanese fighters were, I know who the British fighters were.

This main card was full of dudes that have NEVER fought in the UFC before, it's a complete joke. Of the 10 fighters on the main card, HALF of them had never fought in the UFC prior to this.

If I wanted to watch no name club level fighters compete I'd watch the XFC or KOTC.

You're argument makes no sense. Look at the history of UFC events in England. You'll be hard pressed to find a main event fight between two Brits, let alone two Brits who have never fought in the UFC.

This entire event was a nothing more than the UFC pandering to the Brazilians and asking Americans to pay PPV prices on what was essentially a TUF Brazil level card.

They had never fought in the UFC before because they were all from TUF Brazil, this was the TUF Brazil finale card.

The things is this should have not been on PPv at least not for that price. Dana needs to understand this or he may saturate the MMA market by waterdown PPV and expect people to still buy it for 55.

@Fatty_Sam86

Shut up and don't be stupid. The place was crowded because the event happened in a city that wasn't expecting it to be. And more, TUF was a real success in brazil and people anted to see those figths. Of course people was expecting a better card, Danna promised a better card. But this is what the world's got. A lame card filled with a crowd that LOVES MMA in a city that didn't expect to see the show. In simple words, that is whats happened. If they had a GREAT card last night thye'd need a fucking stadium. Period.

I'm confused... the place was crowded because they weren't expecting it? As in... more time to buy tickets in advance would mean less people would show up, and now because they weren't expecting it all of the sudden every ticket gets sold?

And you said TUF was a real success in Brazil so they were hoping to see those fights (which they did)... but were expecting a better card...?

And the UFC gave folks an opportunity to get refunds for their tickets if they didn't want to see the fights... which as you said the place was packed, so the changes didn't do too much to deter people...

And lastly... the soccer stadium thing was tried and unsuccessful... sooooo... yeeaaahhhh...

Your logic is weird.
