tuf finale/strikeforce commentary..bitching/moaning

[rocky mattioli]

paixao gets dummied by a flying knee.....

[jacktheknife]

Final ticket for me:

3u on Paixao -180
2u on Campuzano -140
1.6u on Wilkinson +105
1.4u on Attonito +135
1u on Pokrajac +200
1u Story +190
1u Grove +325

Not off to a great start, but with Paixao down I don't imagine I'm alone.

[rocky mattioli]

campuzano `s lack of grappling acumen gives pace an easy 1st round 10-9....

he`s gonna have to figure out how to stay on his feet...

[jacktheknife]

Takes your advice for a shaky 2nd round 10-9.

[rocky mattioli]

after an excellent begginning and middle of the 3rd,capuzano taps with 27 seconds remaining...

Cody McKenzie def. Aaron Wilkinson by Submission (Guillotine Choke) at 2:03, R1

[rocky mattioli]

that`s insane........the guy has one move,and nobody can avoid it..............................

[illmatick]

Oh Wow.

[rocky mattioli]

you gotta give the dude credit...he`s just trying the guillotine over and over again....his girlfriend better hope he`s not a sleepwalker...

Referee Chris Tognoni returns to the cage. McKenzie has a very vocal support group in the crowd. McKenzie rushes forward at the bell, ducks one punch and takes Wilkinson to the floor. Wilkinson scrambles up, and McKenzie tries the guillotine. Wilkinson pops out and stands. McKenzie immediately latches on to a guillotine on the left-hand side. He drops to the floor and lets go to score with his hands. He sets up the choke again and spins to the top. He rolls again. McKenzie is determined to finish this with a guillotine as he gabs at every opportunity regardless of the position. He's in half-mount and just squeezing away. Wilkinson tries to outlast from the odd-angled choke, but he has no choice but to tap. McKenzie gets his wish. Cody McKenzie def. Aaron Wilkinson via submission (guillotine choke) - Round 1, 2:03.

Hopefully they start offering props for the McKenzitine

[rocky mattioli]

and i didn`t touch phan...as a dog....
garcia is an automatic go against........and i didn`t do it...

[jacktheknife]

Not gonna watch the show. I'd need to hit all three dogs just to break even, and they were pretty far-fetched shots. Takes forever on the west coast anyway. Just gonna catch the wire. All of them getting taken means I've lost just about everything I've ever won off the sport, so that might be it for me altogether. Talk about "when the fun ends".

[jacktheknife]

Rick Story. Whatdya know?

[Hammew]

Just took my winnings from Story and dumped it on Grove. The Phan fight screwed me so I have to hope for a miracle upset.

Good luck man, that's one upset I really can't see happening. But if Maia dominates Grove all three rounds, rest assured Grove will win by split decision.

man sometimes i really just dont understand mma. on paper i have no idea at all how hathaway who completely tools rick story can lose to mike pyle on the ground.

hendricks was a monster in college wrestling (56-1 his senior year) and i just saw him get taken down by a wrestler who i dont think was even a starter on some lower divsion college. unbelievable. i wonder if hendricks is too light for WW. he wrestled 160 in college. maybe he should drop to LW.

Perhaps... Hendricks did look outsized in that match...

[JuicedUp]

Lawler!!!!!!!!!!! Damn linland looks dead.

[rocky mattioli]

lord..bigfoot nearly shat the bed in the first round...

this weekend is becoming worse than a level 5 hard cheese impaction....

"COLACE!...PERI-COLACE HERE !!!"

[jspectyper]

Lawler was such easy money, lindland really should retire.

[lasker]

Let's go Pokrajac!! It will be a great night for me (despite the Phan robbery) if Igor "The Duke" wins.

[JuicedUp]

Nighty night scotty!!!

[spargament]

excellent. i dont know what possessed scott smith to fight paul daley after letting cung le whoop his ass for like 99/100 of your two fights.

[stefan084]

if someone loses to McKenzie by guillitine again it should count as two loses---that guy is irritating

It's amazing to have one move and always win by it. His opponents all know exactly what he's going to do and they know that he only has one weapon, but they can't avoid it.

I'll be curious to see how he does against non-TUF (and non minor league) opponents.

But, he admittedly, has an uncanny way of hitting that move; or variations thereof... i mean, what the hell was that -- i jaw vice?

[raidersfan]

Wow just finished watching the strikeforce event after watching the UFC live. What a great show at strikeforce real mismatches but the endings were awesome. The ufc was so so. Johnson gassed like I thought he would and great win for Pham.

Are you sure that you actually watched the TUF finale?

[raidersfan]

Watched it live and DVR the strikeforce show, it was good but a bit lackluster for me. I was surely more entertained by the Strikeforce event because of the knockouts caused by the mismatches. I enjoyed the leonard garcia v. Pham fight the most and was greatly dissapointed by Johnson performance in the second and third round.

Bad luck brah, at least u didnt have Nam Phan!

Maybe Chairib means u saying Pham won? Sarcasm I presume?!

[Vaughany]

Yep that was one thing that struck me at the start, Story had a much bigger upside, his chest and shoulders wer much bigger than Hendricks, glad I did the fight to go to decision instead of just Hendricks by decision. Im not sure Hendricks could cut to 155 tho, Im sure I read somewhere that he walks around at 185 lbs now.

lol.....i have no idea.....i think that`s an excellent description....it was weird........

[Vaughany]

The "Mckenzietine" is the only way to describe it!

[Poppa Catfish]

I fear it cannot be stopped

All hail our new bearded overlord, may he be merciful
