Yeah, the way he completely shut the other guy down was impressive. You can tell he really knows how to back up what he says. He's great at adapting to the fight, for sure.

I was watching the Anderson fight, and my dad was like, "its no fair, the other white dude is way bigger" he was shocked to see james irvin go down with one punch...


Brandon Vera at 205 now? I want him to tear it up, he needs to figure out his game badly.

So Lyoto Machida is gonna fight Thiago Silva and Brandon Vera is gonna fight Kieth Jardine. What do yall think?

Also anyone check out Margaritto/Cotto ? I hear its fight of the year. I just finished my dl, bout to hit it up. I'll let you know what i think.

I don't know the first two very well, but if Brandon Vera's last fight was any sign of what's to come, I'd have to give it to Jardine. I guess we'll see though.

Neither get me that excited to be honest. I imagine Lyoto will outclass Silva, and the other fight....who cares?

-Fight of the year candidate for sure. Watch Cotto (riding a waive of supreme confidence coming into the fight) slowly get broken down both mentally and physically into a shell of a man by the 10th.

Which was that? Prolly not. I've seen Vera do really well in the past, so I'm not really sure who'll win.

Jardine's last fight involved him falling to the mat by the AXE MURDER. I fucking love Wandy. the guy doesnt care about the hype, all he wants to do is hits the shit out of people or get beaten up in the process. A monster is what he his.






BTW when i was in LAX (LA airport) i brushed shoulders with Kimbo Slice. Now when i did brush shoulders, all i could think was damn, that black guy had a the dirtest bum beard EVAR, then it hit me that it was kimbo slice. The fool is a monster, im 5'11 at 210 pounds right now and the fool had the widest shoulders i've ever seen (he is barely above 6 feet). He does have one flaw and i think it will haunt him forever, HIS LEGS ARE FUCKING TINY! chicken legs man, then guy need to hit the sqauts, his legs have nothing in them.

Seriously.

I'm like Snake though, he'd never see me coming. I'd all slide up behind him all stealth like and be like, "Surprise bitch! Don't hurt me!...I just want your autograph." :P

I think hes on a loosing streak. But it matters not.

I think shamrocks experience will win him the fight. Hopefully he'll submit him.

I fixed that for you.

They are trying to get him into the lime light, like the UFC was trying to do with Roger Huerta (though he actually does have talent). Elite XC has one last CBS show to put on and they want Kimbo Slice to be the talk of it. I dont mind Kimbo Slice, it's the fucking billionaire in the background that has his money too invest into things and because of that is forcing the outcome of the fights. The guy is making MMA into something that the UFC tried ever so hard to make sure they weren't that kind of a sport.

The UFC is gay man.

If MMA was private promotions people like kimbo slice wouldnt have ever happened.

Forcing outcomes of fights? Where the hell are you coming from with this?

- Hmmmm......Brock Lesnar anyone. Of course he has shown potential, but the UFC has been marketing the shit out of this guy who is more or less a WWE cash-cow that has accomplished jack-shit in MMA with his stellar record of 2-1 (one legit win).

Nogueira who.....That's right! Who cares about that guy when you have the guy that pedigree'd Kurt Angle through a dressing room wall?

- Tito Ortiz- Shamrock II and III......anyone miss those barn-burners?

- Sean Gannon- Brandon Lee Hinkle......CLASSIC!

Hm, I guess you have a point. I'd expect a win from Nogueira in most cases though, whereas I don't expect much from Lesnar at this point.

I seen Kimbo in a Facebreaker commercial. Also, has anyone watched The Scorpion King II? Don't worry, you're not missing much. Though if you want to see Randy Couture as the meanest baddest bad guy ever (only not really), then check it out. *snickers*
