Thanks
Bonnar vs Kingsbury was een leuke gevecht en een mooie comeback voor Bonnar na langer dan een jaar niet te hebben gevochten. Ik ben blij dat ie heeft gewonnen. Ik ben ook blij dat Kampmann heeft gewonnen na 2 verliespartijen, ik zou hem graag in een rematch willen zien tegen Diego Sanchez. Faber met een hele mooie chocke gewonnen en zal waarschijnlijk tegen Cruz vechten. Ik vind hem wel een coole vechter dus ik vind het niet erg. Wanderlei Silvaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa met een mooie ko alleen was ik het wel met Joe Rogan eens, ik vond het een beetje vroege stoppgae alhoewel het niet zoveel zou uitmaken , hij zou het alsnog afmaken denk ik. Dan Henderson vs Shogun was een van de betere gevechten van 2011, een geweldige fight die beide kanten had kunnen gaan. Ik had het zelf als een draw maar het was een close fight dusja alles kan geberuen. Ik had het eerste ronde 10-9 Hendo, tweede ronde 10-9 Hendo, derde ronde 10-9 Hendo, Vierde ronde 10-9 Shogun, 5de ronde 10-8 Shogun dus een draw imo.
Damn echt een MEGA partij inderdaad.Hier is geen verliezer.
Het was een voorbeeld partij voor mensen die willen weten wat mma is.
Kudo's voor deze beide kampioenen!
Henderson aan het infuus?Quote:

UFC Paid Cung Le $420,000 for Wanderlei Silva Fight at UFC 139
The UFC spent a whole lot of money to get Cung Le into the Octagon.
Le, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion who made his UFC debut at UFC 139, made at least $420,000 for the fight, according to the promotion and the California State Athletic Commission. That payment includes a purse of $350,000 (disclosed by the commission) and a bonus of $70,000 (which UFC President Dana White announced that Le received for winning a Fight of the Night award for his loss to Wanderlei Silva).
That made Le the highest-paid fighter at UFC 139, at least based on what has been publicly disclosed. Pay-per-view bonuses are not disclosed, and fighters also make separate endorsement income.
The $420,000 payment is a substantial raise for Le, who made $100,000 for his last fight, a win over Scott Smith in June of 2010. The UFC's decision to pay Le so much was likely motivated by a desire to see his exciting style inside the Octagon, and motivated by the knowledge that Le makes enough money in movies that he wouldn't agree to take a fight unless he was going to be well compensated.
The full list of UFC 139 salaries:
Dan Henderson: $320,000 (includes $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
Mauricio Rua: $235,000 (includes $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
Wanderlei Silva: $270,000 (includes $70,000 FIght of the Night bonus)
Cung Le: $420,000 (includes $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
Urijah Faber: $134,000 (includes $70,000 Submission of the Night bonus and $32,000 win bonus)
Brian Bowles: $19,000
Martin Kampmann: $58,000 (includes $29,000 win bonus)
Rick Story: $19,000
Stephan Bonnar: $68,000 (includes $34,000 win bonus)
Kyle Kingsbury: $10,000
Ryan Bader: $48,000 (includes $24,000 win bonus)

Following Ferocious Battle, Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua Cleared by Post-Fight Exam
Seemingly on the verge of being finished twice before storming back and nearly forcing a draw in the UFC 139 main event, former UFC light-heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua showed a survivor's mentality on Saturday night. But by the time he left the octagon, Rua's face was marked up with cuts and disfigured by swelling.
Despite his appearance, the Brazilian fighter seems to have escaped serious injury in the war of attrition, passing a post-fight CT scan, his manager Eduardo Alonso told MMA Fighting on Monday.
"All was fine," Eduardo said in an email. "Only bruises and a cut on the eyebrow."
Facing heavy-handed slugger Dan Henderson, Rua fell behind early, trailing after dropping the first three rounds on all three judges' scorecards. But the proud fighter staged a frantic rally in the final two rounds, out-landing Henderson by a 112-17 count over the final 10 minutes to capture the final two frames. Rua spent the entire final round in the mount position, trying desperately to finish Henderson and close out what would have been an epic comeback. In the last round, he out-struck Henderson 79-8, but was not awarded a single 10-8 round despite the dominant stretch.
After the fight, neither Rua nor Henderson was able to attend the post-fight press conference, instead taking trips to a nearby hospital for precautionary tests.
Despite the loss which dropped him to 20-6, Rua can at least recover while consoling himself with the knowledge that most of the MMA world considers him one-half of the greatest fight the sport has ever witnessed.
"He will take a vacation and be back strong," Alonso said.
Wtf laatste ronde 10-9?
Het was iets van 76 tegen 8 strikes en Shogun had 5 mounts.
wtf. cung le 420.000 dollar........
ik dacht trouwens dat Rua zijn kaak was gebroken ofzo. Heel zn mond stond scheef en z'n onderlip was van Nutty Professor proporties
Klopt. Alleen hadden de eerste en/of 2 ronde ook 10-8 voor Henderson kunnen zijn.Quote:
