Well thank god nothing interesting happened during the weigh-ins

Would’ve been a shame if we’d missed out on Apple Crumble levels of BE comments.

Yup

Kenny Florian is not a very fluent host anyway, and why did Glazer have to talk on top of Joe Rogan when Rogan announced the fighters?

Also: starved of BE, I took to Twitter to see what Fagan had to say. Apart from “Phil Davis opts for the child rapist uniform.” I really liked

Glazer just pronounced the “ch” in “Chi-Town” like “change” or “challenge.” WTF.
THERE IT IS AGAIN. WTF IS THIS SHIT.

All the stuff about Einemo. “He’s so big” “He’s good at ju jitsu” “He’s quick for such a big man” “He’s one of the best out there” What the fuck? Just shut up!!!!!

Beltran came in at 228? Jesus.

I’m a Beltran guy and have been even before the UFC, but he needs to at least make a test cut to 205.

Then again, HW is thin and there’s always room for big guys that can brawl.

by BVandDietPepsi on Jan 27, 2012 5:55 PM EST reply actions  

Why would he go to 205?

He’s not very technical and he’s got the two skills necessary to cut it in the UFC HW division: a good chin and decent cardio.

He came in at 228 because he stopped eating fast food every day and switched to brown rice, spinach, turkey and chicken, btw, at least as per his interview with the mermaid.

That’s why I said a test, just to see how he’d look/feel.

Like I said, I’m a Beltran guy, but coming into the cage against guys that are gonna outweigh him by 60 pounds doesn’t exactly give him a competitive advantage, even if he can scrap with them.

How many heavyweights cut 20+ pounds to make the 265 limit? I agree that he would get crushed by the Overeem’s and the Bigfoot’s of the division, but I don’t think 20 pounds of beer gut would help him in that regard.

I could definitely see him making 205 but I don’t really see how his skillset and style of fighting would translate into anything other than losses. He’s got relatively quick hands for the HW division but that would be gone at 205 leaving him with a plodding, brawling style, a barely passable ground game and an adamantium chin (which might suffer from the cut).

no chance

beltran gets smoked at 205, hes not nearly talented enough.

beltran should totally stay at hw where the talent isnt as good and he can fight guys with penis joke nicknames

Tend to disagree

To us they add nothing but to a casual viewer flipping by Fuel TV (or wait, does anyone watch Fuel TV even by chance if they’re not UFC fans?), they provide a bit of context.

I’d like to see them do a weigh-in show with NO talking during the weigh-ins but a brief summary of the fights before and after.

Yeah, but logic-defying as it may be, me watching the gif 100 times in a row doesn’t inflict 100 more blows the guy’s head.

Anyway, your screen name reminds me of another gif that people like to watch over and over again …

Can’t stand either one of those dudes. Hopefully its a double ko and Paul Harris gets the next shot at Anderson.

i don't think Palhares

would even be able to get close enough to Anderson to clinch. It would look like Silva-Forrest IMO.

Two points:

1. Glazer and Florian need to stop talking over Rogan. Felt like I was watching TV with my family who routinely talks over movies.

2. Cannot….take….my eyes….off….Brittney……

And I won’t lie, my eyes stayed transfixed on Brit’s general sexiness.

I wonder if Do Bronx cut at all to make Lightweight...

Since he weighed in 2 pounds under the Featherweight limit, or if they just wanted to make sure he made weight…

IIRC

He only cut a few pounds (around 5?) to make the 155 limit.

He still looks small, even for 145

He needs to be put on a weight training program.

And while we're on the subject

Nik Lentz looks small for 155 also, I bet he could make Featherweight easily…

Being able to make a lower weight =/= being better at a lower weight.

True, especially if you have a tough cut

But if Dunham beats him and Lentz wants to stick around, I think they might make him cut down…
