This is a live replay of Grandslam - Way of the Cage, one of the most entertaining (and least watched) cards of 2014, complete with CortXbomb calling the action for us!

We're tentatively planning on 7pm PST 9PM EST 1/1/15. Meet us in IRC (#mma on irc.synirc.org) or just hop into http://taima.tv/r/pspmma to watch with us.



P.S. Please try to avoid spoiling the results for those who haven't seen it. :)

Chael Sonnen tried a lot of drugs in his attempts to become a champion but apparently the correct one was cocaine. Good try though, Chael.

I think the right way to look at that is to say the commission is so incredibly inept, that even Wanderlei Silva circa 2015 has noticed.

Counterpoint: They also caught Wanderlei Silva because he is as dumb, if not dumber

why is this event held on a sunday night? i get 'football lead in' but is that bump in viewership going to make up for basically the entire rest of the world that won't be watching it?

Monday is a holiday so 10 on a Sunday after football is pretty good I think?

On my way to the weighins and Q&A with Jose Aldo. What should I ask him

Ask him how true all of the reports about him complaining about money are because I'll see a report about him complaining and then another report saying it didn't translate well or it was taken out of context or some other poo poo and I can't figure it out. Or if that is too heavy, just ask him what he's going to do with all the money he's going to make when he fights Conor.

The Bendo Cerrone fight should have been a draw, that's the correct result for an incredibly close fight like that but for some reason people have forgotten draws exist (it's because judges don't award them anymore)

No one likes draws, if you can't win a round convincingly then deal with judges having bad opinions

I don't care. gently caress 'em. Deal with it in loving Vegas.

While I'm at it gently caress this main event. I'm turning it off after Hendo. I don't support racist Anthony "black vagina just doesn't look healthy" Johnson (he really said that...) or robber/assaulter of women Alex Gus.

I think its gonna be pretty good though so you may want to reconsider

hahahaha that stoppage was so, so late

Maybe I'm just numb to these things, but I've seen so much worse than last night that I didn't have a problem with it at all. Especially in a main event, if he's still got any kind of shot to improve his position then I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he will escape and continue to fight.

Chris Leben to tell all in new book.

quote:

“I’ve been with playmates in a penthouse, and I’ve been smoking crack with bums under a bridge,” Leben said. “My life has taken me in both directions, kind of at the same time. It will make for good reading, I’ll tell you that. But it’s kind of hard to write it.”

He expects the book to be out in time for Christmas

We were discussing this in IRC last night. The theory was that you can judge the strength of a division by looking at its 11-15th ranked fighters. It almost seemed to me that the heavyweight division has a stronger 11-15 than the LHW division, which is pretty embarrassing.

LHW:
11 Rafael Cavalcante
12 Dan Henderson
13 Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
14 Fabio Maldonado
15 Patrick Cummins

HW:
11 Alistair Overeem
12 Matt Mitrione
13 Frank Mir
14 Gabriel Gonzaga
15 Stefan Struve

(actually it looks like they updated the rankings between last night and today)

This is pretty interesting. Someone break down some other divisions so we can compare

This isn't "fedor relaxed and rolled after dan hit him" it's purely Anderson's mind games not working and him paying for it. The second fight was 99% Weidman but probably would not have happened if Anderson had played proper defense in the first one.

You know it's funny because the mind games did kind of work on luongo because he was so pissed after r1
