like aldo?

is anyone saying that aldo at his title award ceramony was a particularly powerful picture?

 

[SuperDiazBros]

Here's a cool one:

awesome pic. should have made this a gp.

 

[Rematch]

are you seriously that dumb? or do you not know how quotes work?

it takes 10 seconds to see you replied to a comment that was not directed at you, but at zephid....

dickcheney, you need to stop ruining my fun with these idiots.

I think Anderson was bored after 2 min of this fight and remembered his coaches telling him in training.. "don't stand there and eat his punches" so he humored himself by literally trying to eat one

[BGknockout]

Looking at all these pics and I don't think people know what powerful images are, people are just putting pics up that look pretty bad ass, not powerful.

 

[Rematch]

Try to tell me that there's no power in that.:icon_chee

 

[DarthChen731]

So smooth

 

[DarthChen731]

No he wasn't. He fought gamburyan in wec, winner become ufc champ.


Same with Cruz against Jorgensen

It's not like Ronda never fought before. They're taking a division from one org to the other. The champ becomes the UFC champ. It's the same fucking thing, except all the WMMA haters think it's not.

Awesome.

 

[TeamTanner]

nothing powerful about someone being handed a free belt they didn't have to fight for

I agree that makes the retention of the belt meaningless. Much like GSP handpicking his own title contender does.

as much as i hate rousey ... Do u think cruz and aldo were "handed free belts" ?

 

[Calvin42]

Great thread, that Aldo pic is awesome.

Here's a cool one:

This one means a lot as far as the year goes. 2012 marked when the HW division finally was unified under one banner. Truly a milestone.

Well it's pretty big moment in UFC history don't you think? First Womens champ and all

First LW Champ had to fight for it in a Contender's fight.
First FW Champ had his WEC belt converted to UFC during the merger.
First BW Champ also had his WEC belt converted during the merger.
First FLW Champ won his belt in a 4 man tournament.

First women's champ was handed a belt. Rousey shouldn't be entering her fight with Carmouche as the champ. That fight should be for the inaugural women's champ. It should also only be the co-main event to Hendo v Machida

Scratch that. Rousey also had her belt converted from Strikeforce
