UFC 142 looked amazing in RIO. The crowd was crazy and the main card had great matches ending in incredible out of no where KO's as well as a couple great subs. Jose Aldo proves again he is one of the top p4p fighter in the world. Vitor Belfort makes an impressive return vs Anthony Johnson Edson Barboza continues to amaze/impress as he stays undefeated and climbs the ranks at lightweight (155).
Damn, I've been waiting for him to do this. Surprisingly I've seen him land this kick on someone, but they just staggered lol.
you'd figure they would gameplan for that kick by now. If someone ever does.. he's face down on the ground with someone on his back.
Tremendous card -- Barboza executing the first wheel kick KO in UFC history, Palhares finishing w/ his signature heel hook, Vitor choking out Rumble, and Aldo finishing Mendes w/ a brutal knee to the dome. Also, Erick Silva got robbed of an early KO victory... Yamasaki DQ'd him for illegal blows to the back of the head. Rogan proceeded to harass the ref in the post-fight interview. Made for an awkward, but hysterically funny moment. Best moment of the night: after KO'ing Mendes in the 1st, Aldo bolted out of the cage and jumped into the stands. The place ERUPTED. It was awesome, easily one of my favorite post-fight celebrations ever.
