UFC 131 Results, Gilbert Melendez and Liz Carmouche on 106.7 The Fan's MMA Nation


Live streaming video by Ustream

Remember, our time slot is Sundays 9 to 11 p.m. ET. First things first: have you seen the MMA Nation tab on BloodyElbow.com? It's got everything you could possibly need to connect with the show including this important info:

How to Listen

How to Interact

Today on "MMA Nation" we'll break down all of the results from UFC 131: Carwin vs. dos Santos. We'll talk about all of the action from the under card plus:

  • Whether Kenny Florian has a legitimate shot at defeating Jose Aldo.
  • The upcoming Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez heavyweight fight, whether JDS should be the favorite and how Velasquez will perform after such a long layoff.
  • What's next for Donald Cerrone and if the UFC should book a fight with Mac Danzig as they had originally intended.
  • Sam Stout's next opponent: who should it be? Should the UFC do a better job of keeping the audience at home up to speed on the health of the fighters after serious knockouts?
  • Did Mark Munoz really deserve the nod over Demian Maia?

Joining us over the phone will also be Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez. We'll talk to him about his teammate Nick Diaz's upcoming fight against Georges St. Pierre and whether Melendez would vacate his Strikeforce title to compete in the UFC.

We'll also talk to Liz Carmouche who is expected to take on Sarah Kaufman at Strikeforce Challengers 17. We'll talk to Carmouche about her fight with Marloes Coenen, the future of women's fighting and much more.

And we'll take all of YOUR calls. It's toll free anywhere in North America, so don't be shy: 800-636-1067.

"MMA Nation" will air tonight 9:00 p.m. ET to 11:00 p.m. ET on 106.7 The Fan. To listen live over the Internet, go to The Fan's website and click "Listen Live".

Question for Liz -

Hey Liz, loved your fight against Marloes Coenen. Rarely does a short notice opponent do so well in a fight much less a title fight. So congrats either way on a great performance. Made me a fan instantly. What do you think of the Tate-Coenen fight? Do you think that Coenen will be able to block her takedowns? Takedown survived Fight Girl Monster’s ground game which is arguably as dangerous, and trains with Alpha Male which has churned out fighters like Joseph Benavidez and Urijah Faber who chew blackbelts up for lunch. Can Coenen submit her?

ask gil if he'd settle for fighting jim miller or another contender before a title shot

or would he only consider dropping the sf belt and coming over for a direct title shot?

Question for Melendez:

if he needed to become an exclusive UFC fighter (Diaz’s new contract), would he still agree to those terms to fight Edgar or let’s say the lightweight champion?

Carwin has a career to fall back on, but when he’s an old man he can say he hung in there with a stone cold killer. He’s a fighter. It’s that mentality that compels me to watch MMA. It’s fascinating.

Otherworldly toughness is definitely awesome,

and it’s definitely a requirement in order to be an elite fighter, but part of me always just wants a guy to quit. We won’t think less of you Fighter X, just save yourself a beating.

I agree. I also think the mentality of not quitting is what seperates the truly elite MMA combatants from the rest of the pack.

However,

I think quitting when it is necessary separates the champions from everyone else.

Fedor, GSP, & Anderson have all tapped when they were about to be horribly injured and couldn’t escape. And there’s no shame in that. Sometimes these things happen in MMA.

Eye test

What the doc was doing was a confrontation test to check the different visual fields. There is a way to do this such that the patient can’t lie. That is to move ones fingers or hold them still and ask him if they’re moving or not moving. That way a simple yes doesn’t suffice.

That said, in any situation between a doctor and a patient, there is very little a doctor can do if the patient cares so little about his own health that he lies. Add to that the pressure of being in the middle of the octagon in a big ass stadium and trying not to let down the fans. He’s just trying to get out of the way as fast as possible.

Heres a tip..
