UFC 160: Velasquez-Silva 2, Junior dos Santos vs. Mark Hunt *Spoilers*

[Advocaat]

Kan iemand mij uitleggen wat precies het verschil was tussen de Overeem tegen Rogers en dat tegen Bigfoot?

In tegenstelling tot Rogers kwam Bigfoot wel om te vechten. Verder heeft Overeem niet kunnen snoepen voor zijn gevecht met Bigfoot. Anders nog verschillen? Die geweldige gooi tegen Rogers? Volgens mij deed hij dat ook met Silva en dan nog in de 2de ronde.

Eén verlies partij van Ali wil niet zeggen dat hij JDS niet kan opvouwen. ( fouten maak je weer scherp en hij heeft van geleerd )
Om te beginnen Cain heeft ook zwaar verloren, hetzelfde geldt voor JDS en Big Foot.
Jongens positief ( blijven denken ) en geef Ali alle steun die hij verdient.
Heb je geen zelf vertrouwen in dit sport, dan kan je liever gaan poeneke.

[Diaz bros]

jaja speculeren (mochten toch niet speculeren van jou?)

Truste. Tot morgen. Of dat de uitslag komt:


All 22 fighters on the Feb. 2 UFC 156 event passed their fight-night drug tests. Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer released the information via email on Wednesday.

However, Kizer told MMAFighting.com on Wednesday that these results do not include additional blood work required of heavyweight Alistair Overeem. Overeem, who was knocked out by Antonio Silva in the evening's co-main event, was suspended for much of 2012 after flunking a random drug test in March.

Overeem's blood test results are expected within a week.


Dream on Diaz

lol, ik zei hetzelfde wat je hier post, misschien een paar andere woorden maar het komt op hetzelfde neer, kijk nog eens goed naar het vet gedrukte regel.... Je wilt met die extra bloedtest echt de indruk laten wekken dat alistair positief getest heeft, maar dat is niet zo. dit zijn de normale gang van zaken bij de nevada commisie.

[Turboknecht]

Echt een slecht interview, maar goed, wel het eerste interview na zijn vorige partij als ik me niet vergis. Hij heeft duidelijk een andere houding aangenomen:

Ben ik de enige die luisteren naar hem tijdens dat interview veel prettiger vind dan zijn overdreven fake amerikaanse wwe karakter van de laatste tijd?!

anyway, idd een slecht interview. Waarschijnlijk was er afgesproken dat er geen vragen over zijn loss zouden worden gesteld ofzo?!

[The Bulldog]

Gonna be more chill....whahaha

Ben benieuwd.....

[Asura]

Ik heb er meerdere naslagwerken over de evolutie van hominiden doorzocht maar ik weet nog steeds niet wat Michael Landsberg precies is

[my2cents]

Gvd wat zat ik mij te irriteren aan die interviewer. Wat een ongelofelijke droplul

Goed punt van Bas... Laatste 2 minuten over the Reem...

Donald Cerrone vs. K.J. Noons added to May's UFC 160 card in Las Vegas

A lightweight slugfest is the latest fight to be added to the UFC's Memorial Day weekend card.

Donald Cerrone (19-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) will meet K.J. Noons (11-6 MMA, 0-0 SF) at UFC 160 in May. FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight" brought word of the fight booking on Tuesday night.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. Earlier this month, the UFC announced a main event heavyweight title fight between Cain Velasquez and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva for the card, as well as a heavyweight bout between former champ Junior dos Santos and former top contender and former Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem.

Cerrone is coming off a loss this past month to former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at UFC on FOX 6 in Chicago. Pettis landed a body kick in the first round and followed it up with a couple of punches on the ground to get the stoppage. It was just Cerrone's second loss in his past 10 fights and the first time he had been stopped by knockout or TKO.

Cerrone, who twice fought for the WEC title, won his first four UFC fights in 2011 before a unanimous decision loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 141 snapped a six-fight streak. Then he picked up wins over Jeremy Stephens and a knockout of Melvin Guillard in 2012 before the loss to Pettis. In his eight UFC fights, "Cowboy," a Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA student, has six fight-night bonus awards.

Noons will make his UFC debut after a seven-fight run in Strikeforce that saw him go 3-4. The former EliteXC lightweight champ fought Nick Diaz for the welterweight title in a rematch from their EliteXC days in his third fight for Strikeforce, but lost a unanimous decision as Diaz avenged the loss from nearly three years earlier.

That setback was the first of four losses in five fights for the Hawaiian, all by decision. Sandwiched in between two-fight skids was a unanimous decision win over Billy Evangelista in December 2011.

At Strikeforce's finale in January, Noons dropped a split decision to Ryan Couture. It was a controversial loss that UFC President Dana White said he scored in Noons' favor, and many MMA media outlets scored the fight for him, as well. Regardless, he'll be looking to get back in the win column for the first time in what will be about a year and a half.

Ryan Bader vs. Glover Teixeira light heavyweight bout booked for UFC 160

The UFC's annual Memorial Day weekend card continues to take shape and continues to add high-profile fights to the ledger.

A light heavyweight bout between Ryan Bader (15-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Glover Teixeira (20-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has been added to UFC 160 in May. UFC officials announced the booking late Tuesday.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Bader, the Season 8 winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," is coming off a quick first-round submission of Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC on FOX 6 this past month in Chicago. The win netted him a $50,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus and got him back in the win column after a knockout loss to Lyoto Machida at UFC on FOX 4 in August.

Bader started his career 12-0. But in a light heavyweight title elimination fight against Jon Jones, he was submitted in the second round. Jones, of course, went on to win the title. In his next fight, Bader was submitted by Tito Ortiz in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.

But then he went on a two-fight streak with a knockout of Jason Brilz and a dominant unanimous decision against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 144 before his loss to Machida. The win over Matyushenko gave Bader three wins in his past four fights.

Teixeira also picked up a big win at UFC on FOX 6, taking a unanimous decision against Jackson in the co-main event. Though he went to a decision for just the fourth time in his career, Teixeira improved to 3-0 in the UFC and beat his biggest-name opponent to date.

In his UFC debut at UFC 146 this past May, Teixeira impressed with a first-round submission of Kyle Kingsbury in less than two minutes. Booked to face Jackson at UFC 153 in Brazil, he instead met Fabio Maldonado when Jackson was injured and again was dominant, getting a doctor's stoppage after two rounds.

The California-trained protege of former light heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell now has won 18 straight fights with 16 by stoppage.

The latest UFC 160 card now includes:

• Champ Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva - for heavyweight title
• Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem
• Donald Cerrone vs. KJ Noons
• Ryan Bader vs. Glover Teixeira
• Amir Sadollah vs. Stephen Thompson

Maynard-Grant, Nurmagomedov-Trujillo added to UFC 160

Two more bouts have been booked for the rapidly growing UFC 160 card this May.

Lightweights T.J. Grant (20-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Gray Maynard (11-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) have been booked for the promotion's annual Memorial Day weekend card, as will Khabib Nurmagomedov (19-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Abel Trujillo (10-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC). UFC officials announced the fights late Wednesday.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Grant has been on a tear, winning four straight fights and five of his past six. The four consecutive victories have all been since he dropped from welterweight to lightweight, making him 4-0 in the division.

In January, Grant stopped Matt Wiman with just nine seconds left in the first round, leveling down with massive elbows for the knockout at UFC on FOX 6 in Chicago. That followed a "Fight of the Night" win over Evan Dunham at UFC 152 and wins over Carlo Prater and Shane Roller.

Maynard will fight for the first time in nearly a year. In his most recent outing, the two-time UFC lightweight title challenger took a split decision from Clay Guida in the main event of UFC on FX 4 in Atlantic City, N.J. He was scheduled to meet Joe Lauzon this past December at UFC 155, but a knee injury and subsequent surgery knocked him from the card.

Maynard challenged then-champ Frankie Edgar for the 155-pound title at UFC 125, and the two fought to a now-famous draw. In the rematch at UFC 136, Maynard suffered the first loss of his pro career when Edgar stopped him with a fourth-round TKO.

Nurmagomedov improved to 3-0 in the UFC and stayed unbeaten as a pro at UFC on FX 7 this past month when he stopped Thiago Tavares with a first-round knockout. Tavares went on to fail his post-fight drug test, but it didn't matter. The Russian went 2-0 in 2012 in the UFC with wins over Kamal Shalorus and Gleison Tibau, his first fights in America.

Trujillo this past December at UFC on FOX 5 won his UFC debut with a second-round TKO of Marcus LeVesseur in Seattle. That gave the Blackzilians-trained fighter and native Midwesterner a five-fight win streak.

With the additions, the latest UFC 160 card now includes:

• Champ Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva - for heavyweight title
• Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem
• Donald Cerrone vs. KJ Noons
• Ryan Bader vs. Glover Teixeira
• T.J. Grant vs. Gray Maynard
• Amir Sadollah vs. Stephen Thompson
• Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Abel Trijillo

Jeremy Stephens vs. Estevan Payan slated for UFC 160 on May 25

A featherweight bout between Jeremy Stephens (20-9 MMA, 7-8 UFC) and Estevan Payan (14-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the latest addition to May's UFC 156 event, the UFC's annual Memorial Day weekend show.

UFC officials today announced the bout.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Stephens vs. Payan likely will be part of the prelims.

Stephens, who drops from lightweight, is likely fighting for his job following a three-fight losing streak, an October arrest on a 2011 assault charge, and a subsequent knockout loss to Yves Edwards. Once one of the UFC's more entertaining 155-pounders, Stephens has gone more than two years with a stoppage victory. He's also fallen short against the division's upper division, including Joe Lauzon, Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone.

He can get back on track against Payan, a recent Strikeforce import who's riding a seven-fight win streak. The Arizona Combat Sports fighter most recently fought in January at "Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine," where he knocked out Mike Bravo. A fight earlier, he made his promotional debut and scored a decision victory over Alonzo Martinez.

With the addition, the latest UFC 160 card now includes:

• Champ Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva - for heavyweight title
• Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem
• Ryan Bader vs. Glover Teixeira
• T.J. Grant vs. Gray Maynard
• Donald Cerrone vs. KJ Noons
• Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Abel Trijillo
• Amir Sadollah vs. Stephen Thompson
• Estevan Payan vs. Jeremy Stephens

Exactly. Ik hoop ergens ook nog op een rematch met Bigfoot, deze fout moet ie gewoon van zijn record proberen te poetsen. IMO moet dat ook zeker lukken met een minder roekeloze houding.

Gunnar Nelson meets Mike Pyle at May's UFC 160 in Las Vegas

A welterweight matchup between Icelandic prospect Gunnar Nelson (11-0-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and longtime veteran Mike Pyle (24-8-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) is the latest addition to May's UFC 160 event.

MMAjunkie today learned of the booking from sources close to the fighters. UFC executives have yet to formally announce the contest.

Both competitors have verbally agreed to the matchup, and bout agreements are expected to be finalized soon.

UFC 160 takes place May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. The placement of the Nelson vs. Pyle matchup has yet to be revealed.

Nelson returns to work quickly following a unanimous-decision win over Jorge Santiago earlier this month. It was the 24-year-old's 11th-straight win after opening his professional career with a draw. A Renzo Gracie black belt, the stoic Nelson is considered by many pundits to be one of the sport's brightest prospects.

Meanwhile, Pyle looks to build on the strength of an impressive three-fight win streak that includes first-round finishes of James Head, Josh Neer, Ricardo Funch. Currently in one of the best stretches of his professional career, Pyle is 6-1 in past seven fights with the lone loss coming to top contender Rory MacDonald.

Ubereem liet zwaar zijn handen zakken toen hij in elkaar werd geslagen door Bigfoot... als ie dat niet meer doet en aan zijn cardio werkt dan moet ie kunnen winnen, toch?

Zou kunnen ja , maar wat denk je van JDS. belt verloren..tevens ook 1ste loss in de octagon. Gescheiden van zn vrouw. Als die dit allemaal is verwerkt heeft en hij komt hier sterker uit dan ooit dan heeft Alistair een serieus probleem.
We gaan in iedergeval 2 hongerige leeuwen tegen elkaar in de octagon zien.

Sowiezo was JDS zichzelf niet de laatste westrijd tegen Velasquez, hij leek wel versteend ofzo. Zijn gedrag was ook heel erg anders en vaag.

UFC officials recently announced the welterweight bout.

Alistair Overeem injured, out of UFC 160 fight against Junior dos Santos


Fans will have to wait a little longer to see Alistair Overeem vs. Junior dos Santos.

According to sources close to Overeem, the heavyweight recently suffered an undisclosed injury while training, which will sideline him for four-to-five weeks. As a result, Overeem's camp recently informed the UFC that he will be unable to fight dos Santos at UFC 160 on May 25.


Overeem is hoping to return to action against dos Santos in July, but as of right now, no decision has been made when he'll return and against who. Also, no word just yet on if dos Santos will remain on the UFC 160 card and fight someone else or wait for Overeem return.
