I just listened to 2 hours of Brendan Schaub episode of the Joe Rogan podcast because I just had to test my will. He has used the word "chickenhead" no less than 50 times. Every time women come up in the conversation in any context he finds a way to throw it in there. Man, I hope Arlovski smashes him.

Arlovski knocking Schaub out cold would be the best thing ever, but the actual thing that's going to happen is Schaub is getting a highlight win over a former heavyweight champ so they can pitch him as the next to fight for the belt.

No.

There is no freakin way they will ever do Cain Velasquez vs Brendan Schaub.

No one will fight Cain for the belt as everyone is stopped by Junior dos Santos but nobody wants to see those two fight anymore.

Hunt has a decent shot since the JDS match happened before JDS/Cain III, and Hunt is about to fight Roy Nelson in a main event. if Hunt wins that he'll fight again in a title eliminator I bet, probably against Travis Browne.

It really was lame that they burned through that trilogy so quickly. I know there's not a lot of contenders at HW, but I would have liked to see some more time go by between each fight, or at least between the second and third fight. JDS really didn't have enough time to develop his wrestling to a level where he could fend off Cain.

Cain is just a frightening man in that cage and it is probably a good thing for the long term health of UFC heavyweights that he only fights 1-2 times per year.

Yeah, you're right. He didn't drop Fedor. He did, though, break his nose, bust him up, and win a round against him. That fight is such a thing of beauty if you follow it immediately with the Rogers/Reem fight. I'm sad we never got to see Reem/Fedor.

Uuuuh! Seek ye me?
My favorite part of that fight is the aftermath, when among others Jordan Breen called Rogers a brilliant fighter for duking it out with Fedor like that. Then Rogers got mauled by Overeem, barely got by a 40 year old Warpath and lost to Eddie Sanchez.

Josh Thomson doesn't have a lot of fights left, I don't think, and I think he's aware of it as well. He'd fight him at 170 for sure. It's just a way to try to get a paycheck before he's done.

I remember one of the Diazes being suplexed like a motherfucker before in the UFC. Am I high or did that happen? I'd like to see it again. They bitch about being wrestled, but when it's super violent and crowd pleasing, it's all the better.

It was at 129 at Skydome. Rory vs Nate and he slammed the poo poo out of him. The building was going crazy and you could feel it shake. Same thing when Hominick came back in the 5th against Aldo. That was an amazing event.

You're kinda mixing up your shaking buildings, because that was the Rogers Center and UFC 129.

Glover talked about the Jones fight with MMAFighting and it's a pretty interesting little piece.
http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/5/4/5678786/glover-teixeira-jon-jones-eye-pokes-not-intentional-has-to-stop

He's very grounded and humble about what went wrong, but of particular interest is this part.

Regarding Eye Pokes posted:

"I don’t think it was intentional, but the referee needs to start putting some pressure on who does that," he said. "I was a little afraid to close the distance and get poked in the eye again and maybe stop the fight. The second eye poke really scared me because I thought it could hurt my eye.
That's precisely why this bullshit with the extended fingers needs to stop. Bones might not poke someone in their eye every time, but the threat of it puts fighters off. Jones knows that and exploits it. It's a bullshit strategy, but I can't see referees clamping down on it.

I thought the number felt wrong and managed to look it up and change it before the edit limit. But yeah, I don't call it the Rogers Centre. It will always be the Skydome to me. Either way though, it was great event punctuated by a 5 round kickboxing match.
