By Dave Mandel (via Sherdog) Consequences. Thou shalt not shoot from the outside without a setup.  Happy are those who mix strikes with takedowns, for theirs are the faces that have not met knees.

Consequences.

Thou shalt not shoot from the outside without a setup.  Happy are those who mix strikes with takedowns, for theirs are the faces that have not met knees.

By Dave Mandel (via Sherdog) Prelude to a Slam. To be clear, this is not celebratory.  I’m still not sure how their bodies ended up in this configuration through the course of a fight.

(via fighting: fuckyeahfightgirls: Sherdog) By Dave Mandel Who else is out there for Cyborg at 145?  Did you see that mouse under Coenen’s eye? One thing a friend of mine made clear to me today:  Cyborg is younger than me.  By half a year. I wish I could kick ass like she does.

by Dave Mandel (via Sherdog) I am pleased audiences new to Manhoef were sold on his performance despite his loss.  He was absolutely brutalizing Lawler’s leg (and the rest of him) until Lawler put the stamp on him. This has to be one of the most brutal knockouts I have ever seen.  Manhoef’s eyes rolled into his head and there was blood from his face staining the whites of his right eye.  He laid stiff for what seemed like minutes until he jumped upright.  He woke up startled, still fighting, amped on adrenaline, as if he hadn’t spent the last few minutes unconscious.

by Dave Mandel (via Sherdog) So not only is this cat relegated to several dark matches after being promised a title shot, it seems that he’s gonna get passed over for Diaz’s belt AGAIN by Mach Sakurai.  Cold business.  Cold-ass business. PS - Did anyone catch the Hieron-Riggs fight on the EA-MMA website?

xlynwoodx: (via fighting) SEMTEX By Dave Mandel I love/hate fights where I don’t want either fighter to lose.  Let’s do Daley - Koscheck.  I like the cut of that one’s jib.

By Dave Mandel A better look at the Omoplata attempt.  The look on Jacaré’s face says so much.
