'Crushed' Eddie Wineland feels like fat kid teased by cake after losing title shot at UFC 161

'Crushed' Eddie Wineland feels like fat kid teased by cake after losing title shot at UFC 161:

On the latest episode of UFC Tonight, Wineland gave his disappointed response to the news that he’d been pulled from the UFC 161 headliner due to an injury to Renan Barao.

So he’s not getting another fight for 161. That sucks. Always a fun fight.

MMAsquad: UFC 160

Thu, 23 May 2013 16:08:40 -0400

Figured I’d give a reason on why I picked who I picked. Kinda skimpy on the specifics though.

- Cain Velasquez: He won’t make the mental mistakes Browne and Reem did and he isn’t going to let Bigfoot work his top game.
- Hunto - If Junior stands with Hunt (and I believe he will) Hut has more than a chance to win this. He hits just as hard and is quicker on his feet. Plus Hunt’s experience with fighting guys with a lot of range. Technically, I think Juniors the smarter fighter but his lack of movement could really cost him.
- Glover - I think Glover has the advantage everywhere. If this fight hits the ground though, it’s next to a lock. Te-Hunas best bet is too look to fight at range and keep away from the power hand.
- Maynard - love Grant and would love to see him win, but he’s not that hard to hit and I don’t think he’ll be able to drag Maynard down.
- Cerrone - I honestly didn’t know who to give it too. Giving Cerrone the edge because of his reach and his better ground game.

bryankonietzko:

I’m headed to Macau, China to support my good friend Mac Danzig in his fight against Takanori Gomi at UFC on Fuel TV 6. It airs live on the Fuel channel this Saturday at 6:00AM (!) Pacific Standard Time and the replay is at 4:00PM. You may just catch a glimpse of the skinniest person ever in a UFC corner (me). GO MAC!

As some of you may know, Bryan Konietzko (co-creator of Avatar: The last airbender) is an MMA fan and was in Mac Danzig’s corner at UFC in Macau.

5-souls:

With Uncle Dana’s tendency to be blunt and concise, Twitter was the perfect platform for him to respond to John Cholish’s and Jacob Volkmann’s complaints about fighter pay and healthcare.

I would have taken Volkmann’s place in a heart beat. 40K a year to fight? I’m down. Ain’t no serious money in any combat sport unless you in that top 5-10% and even then nothing is guaranteed.

Nick Pace Flying Knee KO of Collin Tebo

Brutal. Just found out Nick Pace is gonna be on the prelims of the Glory 9 card in NYC next month. Most of you may remember Pace as the dude who missed weight twice while under Zuffa. He’s a cool dude and a talented fighter, way too much of a party boy. It’ll be his first pro fight since he got booted from the UFC after getting beat on by Miguel Torres. He’ll be fighting Levan Makashvili at Glory 9.
