UFC 142 Post Fight Discussion *Spoilers*

God damn what a great night of fights!

Barboza spent most of the fight picking away at Etim's legs and then out of nowhere that fucking heel kicks just completely knocked Etim out.

Likewise Aldo kept picking at Mendes with leg kicks and would counter him with some hard punches every time he attempted a takedown. Mendes got his back and kept going for the suplex and right as he spun out he nailed him with that hard knee and finished him with those punches right as the round ended. It reminded me of when Machida beat Thiago Silva.

Tavares outgrappled and outstruck Stout the majority of the match and by the time Stout started getting some good combos in the fight was over.

Man the Belfort-Johnson fight was good. As soon as the bell rang he hit him with a hard slam that landed in an akward angle that reminded me of the Heath-Boetsch fight. Vitor would get up outstrike him get takin down, survive and the same would happen until Belfort finally finished him. Man it' so nice to see that Vitor still has it.

Yeh that was really a very entertaining card. Great KOs and subs. the bar was going nuts all night

Aldo running into the crowd and they picked him up on their shoulders was cool. That crowd was absolutely insane.

Good fights, 2 refs soured it abit for me though. Silva should never have got DQ'd and Rumble was stood back up twice really quickly while still working on the ground. Other than that, great night.

yeah i thought rumble was stood up too quicly also but after missing weight im ok with it...also i had standard cash on him but after the weight issue im fine with loosing my bet, i think i made up for it by betting on paul harris!

Refs make mistakes in the ring ... thats what happens... Yamasaki is a good ref for the most part.... that DQ sucked.... but what are ya gonna do?

Joe jumping on him live in the middle of the ring kinda sucked. I like Joe but try making perfect calls all the time everytime during a fight.

Joe makes mistakes, we laugh we move on....
Dana makes mistakes, they pull out the checkbook they move on...
Etim makes a mistake... he gets to be a news reel KO for the rest of his career...
Yamasaki makes a mistake... a winning fighter gets a bad call ... we move on.

i didnt see all of the fights.....who was dq'd, id like to check it out

Erick Silva man I can't believed he got DQ'd I was in a hurry to watch all the fights so I didn't watch the interview after, so I just assumed he wrecked Prater.

Erick Silva was still paid his win bonus says Sherdog. It was a bad call, Prater was pretty much out anyway and I only saw one clear shot to the back of the head.

You can still change or cancel a bet after you make it, just post in the topic and I can change it.

yeah bkn...i know..i thought he was going to win and didnt want to change it, just saying im glad he lost after the weight issue...i actually thought it would have worked to his advantage being that much over weight....all is well!

Here's a question though, what does everyone think would happen if the ref wasn't so quick to stand them up? Would Rumble have scored some effective GnP, would he keep Vitor grounded for the majority of the round, or would Vitor have subbed him anyway?

The most craziest post fight celebration I have ever seen !! Aldo had the security trying to get him lol and he was fending them off!! That moment was too goddamn exciting!! Never done in the UFC before!!

The Edson Barboza KO was amazing! Etim went completely stiff on his feet! First time in the UFC for a Wheel Kick KO!

Paul Harris did what he does best!

The rest of the fights were pretty good.

Yamasaki made an honest under the pressure mistake and should not be crucified.
