If you think that Big Country is a title shot, take your mind back to his fight with JDS...enough said.

JDS is very good but Roy didnt get knocked out in that match. I didnt see the PPV today but i agree Roy will challenge anyone and on his day could upset anyone. Good power, unpredictable and great chin. No shame to losing to Jnr on his day. Big fan of Big Country

You kidding, I thought it was pretty good. The Prelims were great too. I have missed the previous three cards though, so maybe I was just super keen for it this time.

How much of a dick is Nick Diaz. Calls out GSP and has the gall to suggest he is running scared. Ummm, Nick, you're the one that was a no show for the pressers for you're upcoming fight with the champ. Someone is running scared and it ain't GSP.

There's no way Roy Nelson can be considered a contender after beating Cro Cop, he's not half the fighter he used to be and should give it away, what was good to see was Big Country taking his diet seriously and trimming up, he was coming off loses to JDS and Mir, needs a few more credible wins before he'd even be considered in the title hunt.

Looks like Condit has been shelved and GSP will fight Diaz in February.

Yeah we'll see if he can stay off the weed long enough to not freak out and actually face the media when he gets his shot at GSP.

The main event wasn't a bad fight at all both guys were throwing them and landed alot of shots, but I still think it was one of the poorer cards I can remember. Only saw the Vera prelim fight apparently there was a good knockout before it.

I thought it was a fairly good card. Diaz vs BJ was a good fight. Mitrione failed the test to enter the top 10, Big Country was impressive. Cerrone was outstanding. I agree the Hioki and Jorgensen fights had dull periods (but you get that with the smaller weight divisions). Big Country needs 2 top 10 victories to be considered for a title shot IMO.
Bring on Velasquez vs JDS.

Do you know what time it will be on here? I wonder if it will be on at pubs (I have a bad feeling it won't).

Just realised it will be a five-round fight thanks to being the headliner. The first since they brought in the new rules.

OneHD was a disgrace. Bad enough that they were running long ad breaks and missing the walkouts, but to be running ads during the doc's TKO decision on Leben was unforgivable. Boo.

I rang ch10 to complain about the ads during the round breaks, tried to explain how important it was to see and hear what is happening and pleaded for no ads during the Velasquez vs JDS breaks.
What a great card UFC 138 was.

Been rifling through boxes looking for a HDMI cable so I can watch the other nine fights on the TV via the facebook stream. No luck. And the shops don't open until 11am tomorrow :(

Only the Main Event is being shown on OneHD tomorrow. Go to UFC on Facebook and 'like' the page to access tomorrow's stream.
