is that the biggest beating he's taken w/o it getting stopped?

Pretty sure. Mir folds very easily when bullied, Reem could have stopped it if he put his foot on the gas, but he didn't want to risk another stupid loss. Not the most exciting thing, but, Overeem fought smart and smashed Mir none the less. If they bring Brock back, him vs Mir 3, THAT may actually be entertaining.

Mir needs to hang it up. Overeem does too. I really don't care if either of those guys fight again. Mir did a good job at commentating in the WEC. He should go back to that.

That's up there with the worst stoppages ive seen. He was no where near done. I dislike faber for sure, but that was a terrible call

Nah it was a solid stoppage. If you have been rocked badly twice, your defense can't be to turtle and take repeated hammerfists to the dome. Herb was looking out for the fighter's well being.

Horrible stoppage but Faber was done. He kept getting knocked down by punches.

Replay shows him hitting faber over and over in the arm, not 1 of the hammerfists actually got through.

Overall though pretty boring show aside from Varner and Trujillo.

yeah, its like when ya get jumped and you just curl up and wait for the beating to stop. Its what he did. It was like a good 10 seconds of him doing nothing.

I was just about to come back and post that. The last several hits weren't even close to his head, it was simply smacking him in the arm. However, if Faber really still was in the fight he should have done more than sit there with his hand over his ear.

Well, if you look at his right hand he gave Herb the thumbs up to indicate he was OK. Herb just didn't see it. It sucks for Faber but it's just bad luck.

UFC 169 GIFS

edit: This event broke the UFC record for most decisions with 10 of 12 going the distance. Previous record was 9/11 for the Rashad/Hendo snoozefest event at UFC 161.

169 wasn't actually bad though I thought. Most of the decisions weren't flat out bad/boring fights.

The first fight of the night was the best, i love when a dude is getting rocked in a slug fest then just KOs his opponent cold.

Brittney Palmer looks fucking hideous now. What on earth was she thinking?

What did she have done? I was commenting that I thought she looked different now. I swear she must have got a boob job but the face doesn't look quite right either.

she says, she has not had any work done, but age, weight loss and makeup has changed her look.

to me, her chin looks pointier and eyes less round

Pat Barry retired from MMA this week, forget if it got posted or not. Anyways, just announced he signed with Glory for kickboxing. Debuts in May, will have some non-Glory tune up fight(s) before then.

I imagine some of the guys like Saki or Ghita there would tear him up, but it should be fun.
