The MMA thread
Discussion
Yeah, looked like he was up to the neck in inevitability.
Totally agree on the women's MMA thing. I get it, appreciate the skill, training and all that jazz, but it just doesn't work for me. If I wanted to watch women fighting I wouldn't have moved thousands of miles away from Newcastle.
I've enjoyed a couple of them but most wouldn't be worthy of FB prelims if they were chaps. Maybe when it's matured a little and the bar is a little higher I'll be more interested. As it stands it just feels sub-par, like airing a pub football match in the middle of 2 premier league fixtures, and I feel seedy for watching it

Bisping is very good at moving and not getting hit, but in some of his last few fights you get the feeling he's forgotten that he needs to hit his opponent to win.It's not like he lacks the ability or the skill and endurance, he just seems to have the dial stuck on defence instead of turning it to attack occasionally.
Browne's very good IMO, his rate of improvement is pretty impressive. I've enjoyed watching him over the last few years.
He broke ribs in the first round (and a hand and his nose). I'd say he did fairly well all things considered - certainly not the king of cardio but gassing after 2 minutes isn't something he usually does, Roy Nelson lasts longer than that!

I watched Bellator 117 - enjoyed the Marcin Held and Doug Lima fights
Can't say I'm really looking forward to tonights UFC card apart from JBJ. I wonder what the odds are on Jim Miller/Yancy Medeiros being another No Contest for both fighters (Miller last his last but one fight but opponent tested positive for Cannabis, Meceiros won his last fight but then tested positive for Cannabis )
