Browne doesn't seem to be looking that hard for a finish. When he really turned it on for a few seconds in that last round he landed a some good shots. Broughton is tough though.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 08:50 PM

Damn. I was kinda hoping Broughton would get that armbar.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 08:51 PM

I'm talking to myself.

They are going to cut Rothwell if he doesn't win this. Hunt has won like 1 fight in the last 5 years.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 09:13 PM

Rothwell was BEGGING him to grab that arm.

True story man. At this point, Rothwell is looking for any way out. He was damn close to not coming out for the the 3rd.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 09:19 PM

Rothwell is a Zombie

Sometimes it's tough to switch from lightweight to heavyweight fights. Although the two heavyweight fights have been entertaining in their own way.

I was thinking Rothwell should have his ass cut before that last round. He showed a lot of heart there though. He went into Zombie mode and took some good shots.

Someone get the oxygen tank.

DDT · 09-24-11, 09:24 PM

it seems like very few heavies can go 3 rounds and still have any gas left

Especially in Denver.

Come on Hughes!

bjpenn85 · 09-24-11, 09:30 PM

Yeah he is probably done. Koscheck might have some serious ring rust though. Hopefully Matt can put on a vintage performance. It's doubtful but....

bjpenn85 · 09-24-11, 09:38 PM

thanks dude

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 09:41 PM

Dammit. Matt Hughes was winning that round until the last minute.

Congrats Koscheck. Go fight GSP again so that he can break your face and put you out for another year.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 09:42 PM

Did Matt Hughes just enter the Chuck Liddell zone? Chuck went from having an iron chin to being put dead to sleep by punches he used to eat for lunch.

tokio · 09-24-11, 09:43 PM

1 more second before it went to 2nd round and my 1.5 rounds loses

! weak. hughes, you aint no couture

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 09:49 PM

I'm actually ******* nervous for this. 1 more for old time's sake Rampage, come on.

stefan084 · 09-24-11, 09:59 PM

this will be a leg kick-athon to start

Das Jax · 09-24-11, 10:21 PM

Jones is truly on another level. If Rampage gets his home run connection... and I hope he does... he's going to be talking so much trash.

Tree Rollins · 09-24-11, 10:30 PM

I wish Rampage would train with AKA or even Jackson. His stupid ass wolflair team doesn't know shit. "get in range" is all they said to him. You can't go into an mma fight against a guy with a 12 inch reach-advantage and plan to just box him. Even Joe Rogan said rampage has decent kicks if he'll throw them. Not that it would have made the difference in this fight, but as a Rampage fan, this fight was really frustrating to watch. He's been so successful with his hands that he's not willing to change and adapt to fight guys like Jones.

Anyway, Jon Jones is a great fighter, i think Rashad has the best chance at beating him, by far. Rashad trained with him and might have the wrestling/knowledge to pull off a win against Jones. Jones v. Rashad will be the 1st probably last time i'll ever root for Rashad Evans in a fight.
