This seems like a prelim fight so on that note I hope Spike picks this up.
Matt Hasselbeck's satellite TV signals would get intercepted.
sweet ass card
I saved the ufc from the evil curse with gypsy tears. You all owe me.
I'm the best ever. You're the most average in a minute.
And NEW UFC Welterweight Champion of the World.....Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy!
Miller has this all the way. Outside of a submission, I can’t see any way that Bocek wins this one, and Miller is a very good submission specialist himself, so I think that they negate each other in BJJ. Miller has better standup and wrestling, and he is just tough as nails. Bocek just comes off as a mid-tier Lightweight for life.
Agreed
and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Miller submit Bocek after wearing him out, like Danzig did.
My god!
This means Mark Bocek might not be on the Montreal card!!! Canadians only want to see Canadian fighters on that show even if better fighters are available. /sarcasm
Fitch has not improved his skills one bit since his loss despite being on a win streak
So why exactly do we need to see him fight GSP again? His standup is the exact same since that that fight. And he still doesn’t finish fights anymore.
God damn, did everyone forget that Fitch just fought for the title less than a year and a half ago and got his ass handed to him? The guy hasn’t changed his game one bit since, there’s no need to see his face pounded into mush again until he shows that he has actually improved.

I was refering to him boring me to tears with plodding decision after plodding decision.

Lol, if that’s what you meant then I can get on board with that, after reading the comment right above yours I assumed you were talking about the title shot thing.

yeah…i’m excited about virtually every fight on the main card.
Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.

It's bullshit
that Miller has fought 3 times since July while Bocek has only had one fight since last April.
For sure
I hope they give him some grool tonight so he can rest his weary bones.
Blackout612- "Wuts teh UFC?"
Ubernoober- "It like two guy who just stand and swing for fence and try to knock each other shit out it awesome"
Think Bocek was injured around the time of that Montreal fight
Which might explain the downtime.
Siiiick!
Section 15. This is getting ridiculous. Pelligrino about to be confirmed. Gomi? Keeps getting better.

I don’t like this fight, for a couple of reason’s first I thinnk Miller is burning himself out he’s fighting way too much in a limited ammount of time that catches up to guys in mma. Also he deserves a bigger name losing to a Tyson Griffin is easy to explain losing to a solid guy like Bocek not so much. I love the fighting Miller brothers but sometimes you have to take an extra month and rest up you don’t want to burn yourself out of the UFC when he’s close to title contention.
