Man...
I think that Marquardt vs Paul Harris is a great match up. Nate definitely is better on the feet, but Palhares seems much nastier on the ground. I was very disappointed with Nate’s groundwork against Sonnen. This is a tough call and I would love to see Palhares against some of the other top MW’s, but I have to stick with the Denver guy also.
Palhares struggles against good wrestlers.
Nate has good TD defence…..just not Elite (Sonnen) TD defence.

Well his only UFC loss was against an elite wrestler
And he’s beaten everyone else with only Horn avoiding the sub of doom.
Mo Johnston finally fired. Let the house cleaning and road to success begin.
Arthur Cesar from what I understand is a solid Brazilian wrestler,
and he beat Paul Harris, and we all remember Hendo (not really an ELITE wrestler anymore, just very solid IMO, remember Sheilds?)

Hendo won by yanking his legs out of all the ground attacks and standing up, walking away. Later on, Paulharris claimed Hendo was greased up. Not saying it was true, but I wouldn’t put it past Hendo to baby up those ankles for a W.
I wonder if they will pat down the legs before Marq steps into the cage.
So
I guess you don’t count the manrape from Anderson a UFC loss?

Think he was talking about Palhares.

not to mention Hendo was avoiding the ground in that fight for his life!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

I guess it depends on what you spend more time doing
playing video games or going to strip clubs
Foster/Petz will be great
Hope it makes the broadcast but it looks like Spike is airing some sort of mini-movie of a video game during the show.
Mo Johnston finally fired. Let the house cleaning and road to success begin.
I don't think Thug-jitsu will finish the fight in time to make it
Foster should make quick work of Petz.

Random question: who is the black guy in orange t-shirt? I always see him at the weigh-ins, but I never picked up his name or his role in the UFC.
Burt Watson. He’s a jack of all trades for the UFC. He helps them out with all sorts of stuff.

Tibau makes weight at 154, looks pretty drained though.

How?
Maybe I’m missing something but he’s not exactly a big 155. This is either injury or laziness. Either way I don’t think it bodes to well for him in the future.
Also, what a shitty crop of lightweights from that TUF. Isn’t Efrain the only guy left who’s still under the UFC banner?
Yep, Efrain is the only TUF8 Alumni to make it this far.
Though, George Roop dropped weight and now fights in the WEC. So he’s still with Zuffa, if that counts for anything.
Besides Bader of course.
But Efrian is the only LW.
Sorry, I’m nitpicking.

Talk about a disapointment, this is exactly what I mean with Escudero developing bad habits. This guy has done a complete 180 from the guy that he was during TUF and it now it’s going to bite him in the ass again what a shame.

To be fair, Efrain took this fight on pretty short notice, but he looked really soft today.

I thought Efrain took the fight with Gunderson on pretty short notice to begin with? There’s been so many changes on this card it’s hard to keep up with, but it was my understanding that he wasn’t signed to be on this card until around a month ago. You could very well be right though. Either way, it’s no excuse for blowing it that bad on the weight cut.

Not according to this article
This was before it was finalized, but that still means that he knew there’d be a good chance he’d be fighting in Sept.
Good detective work my friend. He had no excuse for being that out of shape if he’s known he was going to fight for 2 months. He also stepped on the scale weighting 157 this time last year at UFC 103. Apparantly he has difficulty making weight when fighting in Texas in September.

Did Escudero really think he made weight? He had his arms up looking like he was. He looks like he could’ve shed some more weight too, I think he just didn’t want to.
efrains a little dude
its not like hes fucking glenson tibau who even made weight
this isnt a huge deal to the fight cause its not like efrains gonna be walking in at 175 or 180 tomorrow its just really poor discipline and im stunned that his coaches let this happen

This card is taking place in Texas......
so I am crossing my fingers for the night to go smoothly. Hopefully after this card we won’t see a major promotion return to Texas until their athletic commission can correct some of their issues.
Palhares looks like he could make HW.
He’s got the upper body of one, but then again hes only 5’8. Nate’s a big 185er too but I would give the strength advantage to Palhares.
