Is it too late to say “The Truth hurts”?

@ Dangadadang, Its my absolute pleasure mate, cheers and a Happy New Year to you and yours

UFC 125: Resolution?????

Most ironic name for a UFC event.

LAS is the type of guy who is never invited to anything by anyone ever. I hop to God he’s actually spent some time in the military to have such “insightful” information. Oh wait, no he hasn’t, he just steals phrases from Michael Moore and tries to debate politics on an MMA site. Fat belly, Rwilson, ghostboner, I am forever grateful for your dedication to the CP nation. Don’t ever shit on the troops.

Pretty naive to assume you’re so fucking smart you’re not affected by the marketing and manufactured hype on some level actually imo.

The whole UFC in general and having to listen to Dana white pisses me off but you put up with it to watch the best fighters in the world.
There are a of lot of people who buy the marketing, but I think its a bit patronizing of LAS to assume we do….we just don’t care

@ Charming Charlie, no you didn’t, you just made one of your usual pointless comments

I hate smart people and I have the freedom to do so because signing up for the military = providing freedom to ungrateful people out of altruism. If you think a marketing team capitalizing on this morality is wrong, I encourage you to join the military or suck a bag of dicks, as they are equivalent.

Did I accurately summarize anyone who has quoted LAS in this thread so far?

@Smitty – Sorry, but I chuckled, I won’t lie. It was posted right after mine, I had to read it. Just something about a dude with a speech impediment getting angry over a paler cock than he expected, it was funny. Imagine Nate Diaz trying to say “You misrepresented your penis” and sprinkle in some nawmsayin’s and motherfuckers.

@LAS – “Who gets pissed off over marketing? People who realize the way that branding, marketing, advertising, etc. distorts the way people perceive reality.” Anyone whose reality is distorted by advertising is a complete & total moron. Since you are obviously upset by this, I am left to assume… Never mind. Please tell us all about the mystified “realities of armed conflict”. That is if you can lower yourself to the level of some lowly posters on an mma/dick joke site. Which I assume you can, since you already took the time to share your righteous opinions. Actually, never mind again. Just tell me how smart you are again. And if you know any good dick jokes, that would be appreciated too.

LAS, in all of your posts trying to convince everyone here of your superiority, I think all that you have achieved is self-gratification. I suppose that was your intent. However, through all of your masturbatory smugness, I can’t find anything that you said that is nearly as clever as the dick jokes.

Brian Stann hates black people.

Edgar v Maynard 2 kicked ass.

@ Drano, your right dude, what was I thinking, now, how about the powers that be at CP put up a post including focusing on random hot sluts, and then one on Tito and Tunnelcunt, so we can ring in the New Year in the manner we’re accustomed to, Oh and BTW Drano, that invite to Gordonvale RSL for a rum is obviously extended to your good self, Cheers mate

PS BG hasn’t sent any tickets for UFC127, has he sent them to you, I know he wants us to represent the Nation there, we’d be good at marketing

Nawww FBF us dickjoke people are not that smart, why even explain to this horses ass? because its obvious we don’t REALLY give a flying fuck about his opinions.
LAS eat that bag of dicks that were served to you, and stop being a cunt. No one here gives a fuck about your political views, this is a dickjoke…and sometime MMA board, so please stay on topic or die.
FBF don’t lower yourself to his level of boredom, if you ignore the little troll he will go back to whence he came.

LAS, lmfao

@ LAS, I’m a little confused here, ( comes with being part of the dick joke crowd), which is the bit that’s pissed you off? I gotta sneakin suspicion your not anti Defence force member per se, you just dont like the fact that this point is being used to market the fighter, if this is the case, I kinda take your point, especially as you liken this to Bisping being built up to be a head liner just because he’s English, that kinda grates on me also.
As for the chasing terrorizers across the Desert, there have been plenty times throughout History where battles on foreign fields seem pointless, but when you consider the consequences of taking no action ( The rise of the Nazis springs to mind) the actions taken have been appropriate, this is my point of view, and as mentioned earlier, I am an ex Defence Force member, so probably have an outlook on this matter poles apart from your own. I do wonder why we are all in Afghanistan though, History has also shown that is a foreign battlefield that has never been conquered, I was talking to a mate over a few beers who had returned from Afghanistan and he was of the opinion that we’ll never pin down Al Quaeda in enough numbers to defeat them, the terrain and weather being the biggest hurdles over there, before you even factor in the guerilla style tactics employed.
To finish, I’d just like to add that you’ve been on this site long enough to know that we pretty much ARE the Dick joke crowd, and nothing gets us running to our keyboards more than some seriously juvenile humour.
Peace and best wishes for the New Year to you LAS, and if my comments have inflamed you further I might just take one of those Bags’ O’ Dicks and go fuck myself with it.

In light of Pettis/Edgar being scrapped, I think Jim Miller should fight Pettis next, sotiropolous/siver still goes but is no longer the definitive number one contender match, whichever winner looks more impressive out of those two fights gets to challenge after Maynard/Edgar 3.

Happy New Year to everyone who reads this site, health, happiness and wealth(in that order sadly) guys and gals.

Happy New Year to you to Dana, I guess resolution’s start tomorrow then….anyone else catch the Rick James moment in the Helwani interview???(4-6 min mark).

@LAS
“maybe someone can explain to me how chasing terrorizers across the desert is helping ‘protect my freedom’ in anything other than the most abstract sense?”

I will refer to the great Negrodamus response when asked how Bush knew Iraq had weapons of Mass Destruction?….”Because he has the receipts”….

Thanks to all my respondants for proving what a bunch of dumb fucks you are in the first place by busting out the dick jokes after getting fed a plateful of your own ass.

Who gets pissed off over marketing? People who realize the way that branding, marketing, advertising, etc. distorts the way people perceive reality. By reducing “marine” to one part of a set of buzzwords used to sell a fight, the UFC contributes to the general mystification of the realities of armed conflict. Not to mention, its just grating as hell to have someone shoved down your throat because of something that has nothing to do with the person’s actual fighting ability; it’s really not any different than my weariness of seeing Michael Bisping headline shitty UK cards.

I realize I’m already talking over the heads of the dick joke crowd, but maybe someone can explain to me how chasing terrorizers across the desert is helping ‘protect my freedom’ in anything other than the most abstract sense? When you’ve finished figuring out you can’t, do me a favor, and go fuck yourself.

People like LAS need to mute their TV between fights or go do something else. Maybe hit the bong in between? Seriously, who gets THAT pissed off at a simple thing called marketing?

Re stann, my dislike for stann is based on past comments when he was fighting cantwell. He was basically doing his I’m a marine this I’m a marine that and just being disdainful of people that arnt marines. Cantwell said my dad (or brother) was a marine, I repect the marines and hoo rah. Stann gets bent out of shape, says cantwell has no right to say hoo rah and he was going to beat him up over it. Don’t fight for freedom then come home and tell people what they can and can’t say. I don’t know. Maybe its how the ufc edits his comments. Or he is just playing it up for the cameras, but his attitude is off putting. Call me a sceptic but I just don’t trust a guy who goes around saying how great he is because he is a marine. Most of the heroic people I know or have heard speak don’t call themselves heros, or are reluctant to be called a hero. Like pat tillman

ha ha!

@ Drano, send em a 44 gallon drum, no need for the individual packaging

Has anyone seen the Antonio McKee post fight interview? I need to see him eating crow. Volkman had an interesting post fight interview where he basically said he was disappointed in himself.

Let’s hate on a guy for doing something he believed in and putting his life on the line for his country – regardless of whether grunts think a fight is a good fight, they have to do it regardless of what they think….don’t hate on people like Stann for doing what they are told lol.

As for the UFC promoting the fact he’s an ex-Marine? You’d be retarded not to.

Anybody have one of those famous ‘bag-o-dicks’ for LAS?

It’s a date. <3

@ Andy Inflammatory, If your ever up Far North Qld on ANZAC day, drop into Gordonvale RSL and I’ll shout you a rum

@ LAS, you say potato, we say Potaato, main point is Happy New Year to ALL

Peace , Love and Bro Hugs to ALL on CP,

(and I’m still pissed I didn’t get to see Maynard use his stand up, from the write up, it was pretty good to watch)

re: Brian Stann – the UFC recognises its’ popularity within the Armed Forces at the very least and would be stupid not to play to them. See the Fight For The Troops events and that whole UFC fighters VS War Fighters thing if you’re confused. They can beat that “Marines” drum as much as they like, and although I may not understand the fervour (Australian, never served) as a staunch supporter of Anzac Day and our returned forces I can’t begrudge anyone their patriotism.

The point about Pettis needing to wait is a valid one – he might consider himself lucky the WEC title didnt just disappear on the trip over to the UFC. He’s got a good story though (World of Jenks anyone..?) and a sexy highlight reel to boot so they wont have any problem selling this fight after the Edgar/Maynard rematch.

Vera had the best of the stand up and was absolutely kicking the willy out of Silva, but it seemed like he only ramped it up out of desperation, and then went back to the clinch despite the fact he was getting taken down at will when he got in close. Silly fucker. And as far as Silva being ‘classless’ – he’s a better character than The Stockton Lisp, and can actually bring some ferocity to the cage with him instead of the mongoloid Gumby who tends to appeal to wiggers and street urchins. Having said that though, I like watching the Diaz bros. fight just on the off chance I’ll watch them lose. Yay!

Happy New Year.

@The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

I really have to LOL at all the bullshit “serving your country” rhetoric. Stann was part of an army that went into the asshole of the world and basically laid waste to two countries that were already about as fucked as it gets without having hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by drone planes and overzealous infantry.

I’m sure the guy honestly believes that he was fighting the good fight, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to swallow that line. If you really think the UFC does charity work out of the goodness of their hearts, not to convince dipshits like yourself that they want to ‘make the world a better place’ by unambiguously endorsing the American war machine, then there’s really nothing I can say that will dissuade you.

Yes, Stann is entitled to self-righteously go on and on about his service record, (and to write a book from which he’ll surely profit handsomely), and I’m entitled to think it’s a big crock of shit cooked up by the UFC publicity department which could really give fuck all about politics as long as they turn a profit.

Sucks for Pettis, but it’s the right call imo.

And regarding Stann: I’m from Europe, and by US standards (or any standards) quite leftist and anti-war, but I didn’t feel like his having been a Marine was advertised too obtrusively. Mentioning his friend who died in Afghanistan a week earlier is bugging you so much? Come on…
I think he’s actually being sort of low-key about it (ok, except for the stars&stripes shorts and mouthpiece he wears ), but it’s a notable biography detail. They probably mentioned that he was a linebacker in college football twice as often as that he was a soldier.

HAHAHHA Dana got so fired up over morons predicting boring fights etc…but he’s right, people think they know MMA so damn well they can predict a fight.

LOL @ Vera’s shnoz.

Props to Guida for never EVER slowing down and always giving high octane entertaining fights, awesome submission also.

@ ghostboner
Really? You found that story funny? Lame dog……real lame.

@ d. harn
What if Edgar loses to Pettis? Then you’ve ruined the point of Edgar and Maynard having a rematch because, it was supposed to be for the belt. Pettis didn’t really earn his title shot against the UFC champ, he got it on a technicality. These guys comin over from the WEC still have to prove they can hang with the big dogs. And right now, there are 2 big dogs that have some unfinished business so, the puppy needs to stay on the porch till they’re done.

I wonder if any of these Stan haters have ever served for their country.

Where any of you guys aware that Osama Bin Laden has been declared Hide’n'Seek champion of the world for the sixth year running?
and as an ex Navy man myself, Brian Stann deserves all the praise, back slappin and mention of his exploits that he gets, same as any veteran who serves their country,
Jayray, LAS, Charming Charlie et al, you can disagree and shout it from the rooftops all you like, but without people like Brian Stann down through the years you possibly wouldn’t be so free to publicly state your opinions.
here endeth the two cents worth.

LOL, Wouldn’t expect anything less from a dude who smiled like a fat kid at Krispy Kreme when typing in his first login username as “PurpleDickMeat”

Kinda sucks your friends with a dude who answers craigslists posts though, I did that one time when I was hammered and used my friends name and phone number when he passed out. He got tons of responses, was super pissed, but hey, we’re still friends.

Couture better not start pulling a Favre…

Oh, and when a man deploys, leads, and brings 42 men back home to their families, he deserves all the fucking credit he gets.

@jayray & LAS – I assume you’re both writing from some cave in Afghanistan. Say hi to Osama Bin Laden for us you unpatriotic fucks.

@Charming Charlie – And what is “his demographic”?

Also, that handjob story is some funny shit. What happened, I did not see the 209 crew’s post fight reaction. Did they start a brawl and jump Dong?

Rwilson is offended his demographic LOVES Brian Stann.

Maynard vs. Edgar undoubtedly the best fight of the year. The draw was a perfect ending for a fight that close, and a perfect queue for the rematch I wanted to see. Pettis who?

@ jayray & LAS

Stann spent the majority of his adult life as a Marine and you get upset that he might make mention of this? He is a legitimate war hero who has served honorably but it upsets your delicate sensibilities that the UFC would promote him as such? You’re “tired” of hearing his story, nevermind that a good portion of the fans are casual viewers and probably haven’t heard about him before. You’re sick of the UFC paying lip service to “patriotism” to “wring” money from stupid “rednecks”, nevermind that the UFC does millions of dollars worth of charity work each year for the military and their families to back up their words.

Spoiled bitches like you two who enjoy the benefits provided by men like Brian Stann should go find a way to do something useful enough with your own lives that anyone would actually care to hear your own personal story. Then maybe some douchebag keyboard warrior can complain about having to hear about you and your accomplishments.

So a few months ago my friend who is black/white answered a craigslist m4m ad for a young athletic guy looking for black dudes. My buddy lives in sonora,ca which worked out well cuz the other guy mountain biked in the stanislaus forest. So they made plans to meet in the evening at this bike trail the next weekend. My friend told him he drove a red accord so when he pulled in another car that was there flashed the lights. My friend pulled in behind him, the other driver motioned for him to get in his car. So my buddy went and got in his car, he was wearing a hat and took no time to reach over, unzip and pull out my friends dick. It was dark in the car and my friend couldn’t really see his face, but suddenly, with one hand still on my buddys dick, the other guy reached over an pulled out a flashlight. He beamed the light right on his cock then looked up very confused and even more pissed. At this time my friend realized holy shit I’m in the car with fucking nate diaz (he actually thought it was nick at first). Nate then started yelling that his dick wasn’t black enough and that he only sucks and fucks with real black dicks. According to nate it wasn’t the size that was the problem but more so the contrast, my friend got out and on his way unscathed but pretty shook up and confused.

It is good to have HE-Man’s nemesis back.

I gotta say Marcus and Phil and Brandon made me sad last night, But Jacob Volkmann made me pretty dam happy.

Also, I dunno why everyone is hating on Vera so hard. He appeared to be getting the better of the stand up. As for Thiago’s impromptu bongo/cymbal practice session, it seemed like he was frustrated by Vera stalling which was total bullshit. He had the advantageous position, and he was the one who kept taking it to the ground, so if he wanted some action to happen then why the hell didn’t HE do something, like finish the fight? I like Thiago, but I’m not impressed by his performance.

I am seriously pissed, spending the holidays with the in laws so no chance of watching the fights, and maynard chooses this card to showcase his stand up!!!! fuck fuck fuck, although at least didn’t have to see the fatherless bastard get KTFO, he is definitely one of my fave fighters to watch.

PS Great to see Skeletors name back on the CP comments boards, Happy New year to all

so completely true

Am I the only person who thought Clay Guida really didnt do shit in that fight? He fucking danced around, threw some ridiculously untechnical punches. That “footwork” of his fucking sucked, and made him look like a tard.

Did you guys know Brian Stann was a marine? Man, not like the UFC beats that angle to fucking death. I wouldn’t have such a problem with it if the UFC weren’t trying to use “patriotism” as a cheap fucking shill to wring some extra dollars out of dumb rednecks who don’t find two dudes beating the shit out of each other enough reason to drop $50 for a PPV. ‘You see that Leroy, that marine is fighting some queer with red hair and a buncha tattoos! I hope he beats the piss out that sumbitch!’

Maynard got robbed so of course he deserves a rematch Pettis will still be getting a title shot. I dont think Stann would do great against any of the upper level middleweights who actually put thought into their fights he was just smart enough to beat Leben he wont go any further. Guida should fight lil hethen next see how they both do.

sure dang, its his right to remind everybody he’s a marine everytime he talks. But it seems to counter what being a marine is all about. Disclaimer, I’m not a marine so obviously, according to stann, my opinion is of no importance.

Sounds like DW skipped the press conference to north-south-choke a bottle of whisky…

@jayray

Would you rather some fighter like Nate Diaz gave some incomprehensible mess of talk after every fight? The guy’s a marine, he can talk that shit up during the fight if he wants.

Im actually happy the call went for a draw as that is how I called the fight, good on you 3rd judge. Also, as someone said, Dragon vs. Randy Randy Piper?!? That’s just f’d in the A. Also I would have fired Vera after he lost to Coutre.

If anyone ever deserved to be fired from the UFC, it’s Brandon Vera after 125. Holy shit, I had heard before that he didn’t fight with a sense of urgency, but this was just ridiculous. As soon as he was tied up in the clinch, he just held on to a shitty position and absorbed punishment until the bell. The fact that he celebrated knocking Thiago down with a leg kick instead of immediately pressing the attack shows that the guy just lacks the maturity to make it in the UFC. Mugging for the camera with your smashed nose just made it worse. Fire this guy now!

I guarantee Anthony Pettis will pull a “Josh Grispi” and lose the replacement fight he’s going to end up getting now and will completely lose the title shot he was supposed to get as a result.

Anybody who doesn’t just stand in front of Leben has a good chance of picking him apart. Stann(and his trainer Greg Jackson)seemed smart enough to utilize a lil movement, give him some angles. The +165 odds were just icing on the cake..

Plus I figured The Crippler would still be hungover from the night before.

Hard to believe no anti edgar or gray posts yet. Im glad they shut u newb lesner fans up once and for all or maybe the haters are still in bed

I understand the reasoning behind the rematch of Edgar and Maynard but I don’t agree with it. Anthony Pettis was promised a title shot after tonight, and is now being royally railed. To be the champ, you got to beat the champ, and Gray (unfortunately) couldn’t beat the champ. I think Pettis should be given his Promised shot and Gray should get the winner of those two. That’s fair and logical right? The champ keeps his belt in a fight he didn’t lose, the next contender gets what was promised and gray still gets his second shot at the belt regardless, and save III for down the road a bit.

I was damn excited for this card. But yeah, I thought Edgar-Maynard would be the worst fight on the card.
Fuck damn, one of the better fights ever.
I think Guida may actually be becoming a top-level guy.
I don’t usually bitch about scoring, but I thought Diaz won round two. Most active guard I have ever seen, constantly attacking, put Stun Gun in more danger than he was ever in.
I really don’t like Vera, but I want to see Silva get his kicked badly. Soon.
I want to see more of Brian Stann at MW. Still love Leben’s style.
Frankie Edgar was out the second time he went down. Unbelievable heart. Right scores. 8-10, 10-9, 9-10 (could see it other way), 10-9, 10-9 (could see it other way).

CP – no mention of the Diaz fight?

great card. I was happy to see Stann get the win. Now we just need to make him a red, white and blue shirt that says “I got paid to go to foreign countries and killed people” just so we don’t have him reminding us of what an “All American” he is every fucking fight.

dana white sees unicorns

Got to agree with Thiago/Rampage, though I was kinda confused why Thiago would just rather toy with Vera than attempt some other strategy to finish the guy.

Have Pettis fight the winner of Sotiropulus/Siver for #1 contender status, if only to keep him busy.

Machida/Couture? WTF?

The Diaz fight went EXACTLY as I thought, from the opening bell to the post fight reaction. Douchebags.

Hell yeah Brian Stann, get yours.

Surprising all-action main event! Immediate rematch is definitely the right decision.

For all the praise Edgar’s coaches have been getting since the back-to-back wins over Penn it sure as hell didn’t look like they readied their pocket soldier for a gun-slinging Maynard…

Leben had an incredible 2010 but he’s just not a top-calibre fighter.

Vera looked en route to a win? When??? Vera suffered the most humiliating ass-kicking I have ever seen! He’s done for sure. What about a Thiago Silva-Rampage scrap next? Fireworks gaurenteed.

Good wins for the TUF kid and the Carpenter

lol, I love how most of the MMA community has suddenly turned on the WEC/Pettis and has become ranking whores. All because two men not noted for having FOTNs actually did have a FOTN.

Note I’m glad there’s going to be a rematch to settle this, but I’m not going to delude myself into thinking we’ll see the same, great fight again. Did everyone forget Bonnar/Griffin II?

Side-note, this is Stann’s second straight win at 185, yet everyone thinks this is his first victory at MW.

I feel sorry for Frankie, he has to fight everyone twice when a belts involved.
Could they not just make title fights 10 rounds? Less decisions that way i’m sure.

Just a few observations.

Diaz Bro’s and crew…no class. Big surprise there.

Tiago Silva…no class. The guy acts like a complete piece of shit, regardless of talent level. I’d love to watch Bones/Bader/Shogun smash his face…repeatedly.

Brian Stann…all class. The move to 185 will be good for him.

Frankie Edgar has a ton of heart. I’m just not sure any of these guys (Edgar, Maynard, Pettis, etc.) can hang with Aldo if he choses to move up to 155.

A lot of us talked about how the card looked good except for the main event…then the main event turns out to be the best fight and the rest of the card was just decent. Go figure.

Leban was over-rated anyways. But it’s still definitely a feat to knock the fucker out.

Randy V Tito would make more sense in my above mentioned scenario. Also someone needs to give Stan Jake Rosholts phone number so he can find out just how much bargaining room beating Leben gets you.

the fighter who got most screwed out of last night’s main event is anthony pettis.

Couture V Machida makes absolutely no sense. I would like to to see Vera V Machida since they are both on losing streaks and it would be a good way for Machida to get back in the win column and completely discredit Vera for anyone else like SF. Next Rampage and Silva would be a good logical step and should be a awesome fight as well.
