I do enjoy that poster. Nover doesn’t pull off intese very well, however.

Do you know we are in high demand, Laura?

MMAWeekly has it as a 20% purse deduction for Gouveia, btw.

my bad

I thought 25% was the standard.

Wilson Gouveia

They apparently are saying that it was unhealthy for Gouveia to make a 2nd attempt at cutting weight…. that definitely is an upside for McDonald if Gouveia is drained and dehydrated.

Whats with guys not making weight lately? Paulo Filho has started a domino effect here..

by Gunslinger20 on Dec 12, 2008 8:49 PM EST reply actions  

yep lets all blame filho! hahahaha. :))

I've been doing that a lot lately...

and everyone seems to accept it…. did you know that Paulo Filho shot JFK and that he is going to replace Paula Abdul on American Idol?

by Gunslinger20 on Dec 12, 2008 8:58 PM EST up reply actions  

really? i thought he just runined the economy? I guess there’s american idol to ruin too.

Nah, we still blame the Republicans for the economy...

but maybe Paulo Filho’s band will open for Green Day to make some more cash off the American Idiot schtick…. Paulo will be on back up vocals and triangle.

Replacing Paula would be an improvement…I mean, I don’t watch that crap…

I havent seen the weigh ins but I wouldnt be surprised if Wilson tried to be like Alves and Tibau. Those guys cut massive amounts of weight and then they shoot back up 15lbs once they step off the scales.

by Discman2 on Dec 12, 2008 8:59 PM EST up reply actions  

wow. So practically Macdonald will proabbly fight tomorrow at 190, and Gouevia will be up at 200 or 205.. so Hughes/Alves II

Fighters need to start making weight, it is becoming a trend now. Its stupid.

by "Mr. NC-17" on Dec 12, 2008 9:34 PM EST reply actions  

I am pretty sure Mcdonald walks around at around 200.

by Dropkick434 on Dec 12, 2008 9:37 PM EST up reply actions  

Awesome pics...

lol… Tom Lawlor looks like Ryan Dunn from Jackass

by Gunslinger20 on Dec 12, 2008 9:41 PM EST reply actions  

They have no idea how to do the Macarena! Pathetic!

Look at Arianne’s face for all the fighters then look at her face in Kingsbury’s picture haha.

junie seems smooth for a 155

by dbcb on Dec 12, 2008 9:46 PM EST reply actions  

i think he can cut down to featherweight if he doesnt do good here.. He’d surely add more spice to the WEC..

Did Lawlor pick out his beard??

Remember earlier today when I asked ...

if anybody in Florida knew how many cheeseburgers Gouveia had been eating this week?

Disregard. I think I know now.

by The Ghost of Spike Owen on Dec 12, 2008 10:51 PM EST reply actions  

Too damn many...

I like my Bader pick even more now...

Vinny’s body has “I’m gonna gas if it goes to the second round” written all over it.

I thought this was a gun show.

And his arms read “I’ma make Cantwell’s armbar look merciful.”

by Rundownloser on Dec 12, 2008 11:15 PM EST up reply actions  

Oh for sure...

if he gets something locked in he is both good and strong enough to rip a limb off. I just think we’re going to see him lose, and look tired if it goes past 3 or 4 minutes.

No more Team Quest?

Vinny left Team Quest, where is he training now?

by Gunslinger20 on Dec 13, 2008 12:49 AM EST up reply actions  

I’m pretty sure he’s been training at Xtreme Couture.

by Rundownloser on Dec 13, 2008 12:57 AM EST up reply actions  

Marcus Davis looks like he’s shrinking. With each event, he gets smaller and smaller. For example:

UFC 75
UFC 80
UFC 85
UFC 89
And now the one above.

Kingsbury reminds me of Drew Fickett for some reason.

I think it is the complete lack of regard for stress and their humorous antics.

Nover Submission Round 2 (kimura)
Bader TKO strikes round 1 (I have a feeling vinny will react poorly to getting hit in the face and will fail to take down Bader)
Burns by decision.
McDonald by RNC round 3
Browning by KO round 2.

Soszynski by TKO strikes round 1
Marshall by armbar round 2
Kingsbury by decision
Roop by decision
John Polakowski by RNC
