    By the way did anyone watch The Ultimate Fighter last night? I'm still watching it now (thanks to the dvr of course). There has been some insane knockouts....I love it.....

    No I was at work and didn't get to see it. I haven't been a big TUF fan but it sucks I had to miss what sounds like a good episode

    Yeah it was a great elimination round. They added a kicker this year...putting the bantamweights and featherweight in the same season. They had 8 fights for each divison. Also Dana announce that the fans get to vote for the best submission, best knockout, and best fight of the season. Reward is 25,000 in benjamins for each. They all came out swinging for the fences. Very entertaining.

    Start the countdown. I don't care how this fight turns out, I think these two are going to deliver a badass fight. Pulling for Rampage, but more than anything I want a fight that makes me jump up and shout.

    I'm interested to see if Jones can get the takedown. He utilizes the Greco clinch and throw game very well, but Rampage has a very strong and stable core, so I'm wondering if the greco clinch can be effective against him. So many complexities to this fight that can turn the tide one way or the other.

    Well, I'll be happy to eat my crow. Jones is the real deal, he had his first true test and passed it.

    Same here. Although I still can't stand him and hope Evans destroys him lol

    I'm stoked to see a title fight for free this weekend. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest Dominick Cruz fan, I don't much care for his point fighting/round winning style, I'd rather see a guy go after the finish. That said, he is a good fighter and I think Mighty Mouse is going to push the pace and force Cruz to work. I have a hard time seeing Demetrious winning this fight only because Cruz is so fleet-footed and on point with his striking. However it goes though, I think it will be interesting.

    I wish I could go! I had free cageside tickets available but have to pick up the fiance up from the airport. Very sad :( The IAVA got a whole mess of cageside tickets from the UFC to give to Iraq and Afghanistan vets in the area who are part of the IAVA. Oh well. Anyways I see Cruz winning it. I do wish he'd go for the finish more like you Joe. I think the Brennaman vs Johnson fight will be really good. I'd have to pick Johnson but that's a tough call for me
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    I'd go Johnson too, if for no other reason than because he hits hard and Brenneman has a questionable chin. Maybe the KO loss was a fluke, I think this fight will be very telling as to Charlie Brenneman's long term viability...hope Rumble doesn't decide to try and wrestle him to death enroute to a decision, that would be disappointing.
  • ENFIDLENFIDL Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,836
    I'm with ya there Joe. I really hope Johnson goes hard and for a finish and not lay and pray for a decision. I'm excited to see how Brenneman will do because like you said it'll show us exactly where he's at in the division.
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    And, like usual, the only interesting thing about a Cruz fight was his opponent. Mighty Mouse is a little beast.
  • ENFIDLENFIDL Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,836
    He needs to wear the Mighty Mouse cape to the cage that'd be b.a.!

    I'm still thinking over my picks for this weekend but major news today. Jones vs Machida at UFC 140! I've said for awhile that I could see 2 people beating Jones. Evans because they used to train together and Machida because of his counterstriking. I've never been a Machida fan but I think his style could pose problems for Jones. But Machida has never tried to counterstrike with someone with Jones length so I think it should make for a great fight
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    First and foremost, I'm a Machida fan, I enjoy watching him and his style interests me. I think he is a guy that can give Jones problems. With all that said, I don't like this fight simply for the fact that Machida has not earned a shot, beating Randy just isn't enough after two losses, even though I would argue that he beat Rampage. And honestly, I'm not really sure it will be a good fight, I can easily see the pace being slow and not a lot of action taking place...I hope I'm dead wrong on that last count.

    If you look at the light heavy weight division then you can see why Machida got this fight. There isn't anyone else out there right now to put against Jones. Everyone is either hurt or coming off a loss. I still think this will be a good fight, but would have rather seen it with a healthy Evans.
  • ENFIDLENFIDL Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,836
    Maybe I should have worded that differently I love Machida's style but I'm not a fan of him. I dunno just something about him. I love how he fights and his ability to finish people. I think it'll be a slow paced fight but I really do think Machida can give Jones a good fight. I would rather rather see the belt back on Machida's waist than to stay on Jones's. Joe I'm with you on him not earning the shot but like cville said there's nobody else there due to injuries and losses. I was thinking they might scrap the Shogun vs Hendo fight to make Hendo vs Jones and throw Shogun somebody else.
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    I realize why they made the fight, but I still don't agree with it. Holding a fight off for a month or two has never been a problem before, so why not let the rightful #1 contender get healthy and give him his shot? Doesn't matter though, I think Jones Machida is more interesting anyway.
