Since the overseas shows always lead to a lot of confusion on how we will be handing the show I wanted to clarify how we'll be handing our coverage of UFC 99 on Saturday.
I will be liveblogging the event on the front page starting with the 3:00pm Eastern broadcast. The results will be on the front page as they happen. After a lot of thought we decided that something is no longer a "spoiler" once it airs on a broadcast that is available to anyone. So if you want to wait until the evening broadcast and do not want to be "spoiled" stay away from the site until you watch the card. Nate will also be providing his "fight by fight recaps" with the live broadcast.
I just wanted to be up front with everyone so no one has the show ruined for them if they aren't watching the live broadcast. If you are watching at 3:00 please join us for our live coverage, if you're waiting for the late broadcast come back once it ends to share your thoughts on how things went down.

From Tracy Lee on the UG:
Okami is fucking huge! he’s at least 220 right now.. I couldn’t believe it was him…
Wow, Kongo looks really big over Cain. I might be tempted to throw some action his way based on this photo alone.

Seriously though, to a casual fan who doesn’t know who Fedor is this could be a Pros vs Joes Poster.

Partly the angle of the photo. Kongo does have probably a few inches in height, a couple inches in reach, but Velasquez is also as wide as an aircraft carrier, and I doubt he wants to stand and trade with Kongo at range.

Cain needs to cut to 205
so does Cro Cop.
"the spirit of your average dumbass with more overblown rhetoric" OR "the self-appointed savior of MMA"
He weighs like 240-245...
is that even possible? At least possible without totally sapping yourself?
I am the bastard love child of Junie Browning and Diamond Dave Kaplan.
I don’t know if he can make that cut.
Good call on the spoilers rule – if it’s public common knowledge, then close your eyes and plug your ears cause we’re talking about it.

Agreed on Cro Cop, but I don’t see Velasquez having the body type to be able to do it. He’s massively bulky, and looks like the kind of guy who is massive muscles on a massive skeleton. It’s not like he’s carrying around much fat, and he relies on a power game.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
I don’t think I’d ever bet my life on any MMA fight.

I already did that when he fought Herring. Now, I’m dead.
