Going to go to the bar for this one. Even though I didn’t pick Hazelett to win, I’m hoping he pulls off a slick submission.

Anyone near Reston in Northern Virginia want to help out a poor guy who has had the absolutely worst holiday season ever (moving company stealing stuff, thousands in additional costs, h1n1 flu, deaths in the family, and more) by suggesting a good place to watch the fights or having viewing parties?

Hey man sorry to hear whats happened to you, although I’m in St. louis, usually places like Hooters and Applebees have the ppv showings around here. What i do sometimes is type in “showing UFC __ around St. Louis” into Google (Reston, North Virginia in your case of course) and that usually gives a listing of places showing them. Hope I could help

Call places first
Good resource, just make sure you call places first to confirm they are carrying the event. I’m from St. Louis too and if you click the link it says The Post is carrying the PPV. I showed up there once and they decided not to order. Then I emailed or called them for several events after that and they always have an excuse for not ordering. There are also other places that carry it that don’t advertise, like many Buffalo Wild Wings not on the list.
Try this list
It’s from UFC 107, but lists bars and restaurants that showed UFC 107. I can’t imagine it would change much 4 weeks later. There’s a Champps in Reston that showed 107. I have NO IDEA what kind of place it is aside from it’s in Reston.

What better way to supplant a day playing Morrowind with a mediocre UFC card!

No, that was like an inverted hammer lock, this was like a kimura from guard, but instead of guard it's from an inverted triangle.

You can find it in the “Machado Black Belt Techniques” book. Its a great setup for that kimura or an armbar

Daley is overrated
He has 8 losses and got worked by Jake Shields . . . the UFC is stretching it a bit to be pushing him to the moon. Sure he can knock anyone out, but they are seriously desperate for stars at 170
His loss to Jake
doesn’t hurt him but you should really bring up his fight against Nick Thompson. Got outworked by a jab.

one year ago
Josh Barnett sat on Yvel’s face for three rounds and beat his ass, setting up a showdown with Fedor.
Now? Barnett pissed ’roids and Yvel is on the main card of a UFC fight.
Crazy world
A little over a year ago, Jake Shields sat on Paul Daley’s face and beat him into submission with pillow hands.

He just plays the nice guy and say the political stuff after the fights.

MMA guys need to learn it, slipping punches, head movement, proper technique. Yvel was swinging with his hands down.
Yvel was going to lose, and probably in about 5 more seconds

Brent Brookhouse: It took Shields most of two rounds to get the sub on Paul, which is the only time Paul has been submitted since the summer of ‘06. Thompson kept him on the ground quite well obviously but he didn’t submit him. The question then becomes if Dustin has the wrestling to get Daley to the ground and will be able to keep him there and find a submission. I don’t think it’s going to be as easy as a lot of people seem to think and when they’re standing Daley will light him up. Paul Daley by TKO, round 1.

Daley was smart
lulled him to sleep with the leg kicks, Hazlett never budged or tried to go for a shot . . . and then BOOM
GOD! I love Paul Daley.
Also, who the fuck are Rogan and Goldy fooling? Hazelett wasn’t “doing a good job standing” simply because he wasn’t knocked out right away. He threw a few front kicks and some blocked head kicks. Daley was clearly just picking spots for leg kicks and waiting for Hazelett to either shoot or throw a punch so he could counter.

Either Rashad or Silva is an alternate, I can’t remember.

wasn’t Thiago suppose to fight Forrest?
Jardine subbed that
when Forrest was pulled to fight Anderson. This fight went unchanged since Rampage ‘retired.’

I think
an argument could be made the 1st 2 rounds should have been scored 10-10. Not much really happened. And if you awards points for the takedown, I would award points for the escape, standup with zero damage.
but you do have to give points for the takedowns, because they are dominant. But overall, I think the third round won the fight because it had the most damage, had Thiago not clocked Rashad and Rashad continue to pursue his takedowns, he would then win the fight for sure.

Rampage is going to knock Rashad out. Rashad is just wide open standing, and probably won’t be able to take Rampage down.
