Rampage looks good.

Huerta looks like he should be selling newspapers on a street corner in the 1920’s.

GSP…Suit up!

Man, this card has some potentially great fights. I hope it lives up to it.

Huerta comment = hilarious.

I swear to god...

when I saw the picture I showed it to my wife and said “he looks like he should be in the movie Newsies!” And of course my wife went “mmm…he’s so hot!”

I’d have to agree with your wife.
Good thing I see some hair under that hat. I don’t want him falling for the shaved hair trend as well :(

As top heavy as Brock is, I’m surprised he makes through the day without tipping over.

He does look like a cartoon character, but that also means Herring appears as a giant turkey when he looks at him.

I wish all the fighters followed GSP’s lead and suited up for the press conferences.

I suit up when I'm covering fights live...

suiting up is what a real man does…

I agree – about GSP wearing a suit. It really adds a lot of class to the sport. Much as I like and respect all of the other fighters (especially Fitch), it just does not look as professional when you are wearing a T-shirt at the press-conference.

Although it would be heavy handed, the UFC could do what the NBA does and impose dress code. I don’t see it happening anytime.

That would cut into...

Dana being able to wear a T-Shirt everywhere he goes

Only technically, because his suiting up is a polo.

by Blackout612 on Aug 7, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

A polo without a very smooth and nice collar no less..

..that had crudely bleached wavy lines across it, which likely made it “worth” the 200 dollars he probably paid for it.

Dude...

at least its not a tracksuit. I pretty much agree with you, though. I think it would be good for the sport’s image in the guys (Dana included) would at least sport some slacks and a shirt with more than three buttons.

As long as they’re not wearing flip flops, I’m not bothered. Dudes in flip flops = pet peeve. Preemptive apology to all offended parties.

by Blackout612 on Aug 7, 2008 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

Man, we share that pet peeve. Walking around your house or in a public shower is cool, but just wearing them out in public is another deal. Sorry, flip-flop wearers.

Don’t ever come to Australia then!

by idefinecagefighter on Aug 7, 2008 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks for the fore-warning! Trip to Australia—cancelled. Haha..

by Blackout612 on Aug 7, 2008 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Point taken Brent. I can’t wait for all of you to post your predictions!

by rollecdr on Aug 7, 2008 8:53 PM EDT reply actions  

I like the suit too, it does bring more of a professional feel to the press conference.
