Ufc 142

The weigh ins were yesterday everyone was right on weight apart from Johnson no surprise there though. The surprise came with how over the limit he was moving up from welterweight this was his middleweight debut weighed in 197 lb 11lb over the limit what a joke. I like Vitor and even more so that he accepted the fight but on the condition Johnson makes 205lb in the day of the fight and it will be a light heavyweight fight. They guy is really unprofessional he almostnever makes weight but this is just rediculous moving up he couldn't get the weight right.

What fights you guys looking forward too? Cannot wait to see Jose smash Mendes!

Stout vs Tavares will be a good one and Etim vs Barboza!

Not the most exciting or stacked fight card so won't be watching this one as no one I know is ordering it.

That said the Belfort vs. Johnson fight could be a war if Johnson chooses to stand. I reckon he'll try the same gameplan he implemented against your boy Dan Hardy and go for the takedown.

Belfort should be able to prevent the takedown attempts, at least enough to land and KO Johnson.

Looks like the Johnson-Belfort fight could be in trouble.

Johnson weighed 197 lbs. 11 lbs over the limit of 186.

My bad ;D

Well hopefully Johnson can make that weight. He should be able to without much problem as it looks like him weighing in at 197 was cus he rehydrated.

He is just usless at making weight very unprofessional. It's funny i wwatched the countdown show and he was with a NFL player i think talking about how he wants to be rich like him. That's never going to happen if he's always losing 20% of his earnings most fights.

Jose Aldo was a beast! I cannot see anyone in the division who can stop him! That knee was perfectly timed. Can't wait to see him get back in there!

Barbozas KO over Etim was crazy I couldn't believe it. It came out of nowhere!

Vitor did well to stop most of the takedowns and he landed some good shots before getting the sub over Johnson. Enjoyed watching Vitor get that sub!

Aldo is a beast but I was a little disappointed that he held the cage on that takedown attempt, who knows...maybe he lands hard and is knocked out from the impact. But more than likely it changed nothing.

Barboza was quite impressive, him vs aldo would be fun while it lasted.

I was very happy with Vitor, he did really well and taught Johnson a lesson. But those stand ups were very quick, a little quesitonable.

Another great fight card I thought, the UFC are consistently churning them out.

I'd love to see Aldo in with Frankie Edgar, you'd have to favour Aldo but Edgar is all heart and I'd be rooting for him.

Can't wait for Sonnen vs Munoz in a week or two.

They never stopped showing them, they just changed the name to Fight Club.

I'll have to check that out. I remember when it happened and they had a big announcement on their page that they would no longer show UFC fights. Very tricky.
