Pokrajac weigh-in @ 19:10
Enjoy staying in the prelims I guess Igor. Disappointing but Igor always had flaws in his game. I’m happy Bisping won last night, really deserved it and Jones is just on another level.
Good PPV very enjoyable much better than a 90 minute snoozefest Croatia friendly.
Its always disappointing to hear that one of our own lost in an organized after school backyard fight club match. Better luck to him next time.
sammirs truly belongs in serbia, a true serb if there ever was one, theres already lots of his people there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFCWpknWFMg
Pokrajac lost concentration for a second and took Magahales down and paid dearly. Igor should of kept the fight standing and he probably would of got the KO. Why he tried to takedown the best BJJ guy in the world only Igor knows the answer to that. Hopefully he can bounce back and get another streak started. Now lets look forward to Miocic’s fight this saturday.
Uff. This was a bad loss for Igor.
If he lost to a somewhat high profile fighter, then it wouldn’t be so bad…but this guy was a relative nobody. It’ll be tough to justify giving Igor some bigger fighters now, and it’s likely he won’t get any. At age 33, time is running out too. Oh well. Here’s hoping he stays in UFC as long as possible and makes himself some decent cash to live off of.
Igor got handled
god dammit
Fucking shit!
Why did Igor just get up with 45 seconds left? Trying to go back to striking?!
Fight will air on Fx in the US and Rogers Sportsnet in Canada. His fight should be live at around 9pm eastern.
anyone know what time to expect the fight to start?
Let`s go POKI !
Magalhães you’re dead!
