Where’d you get the 207 # from? Did he say that somewhere? I’m just curious.

shouldnt he have been ready to prove that every time he weighed in ?

he looks ready
looks like he did what joe rogan said. “he doesn’t need those huge pecs he got”. silva got a breast reduction surgery hahahhaa. for real though he was carrying way to much muscle in his chest he looks more balanced now. i say if his cardio is on point he will win.
From the neck down he looks almost exactly like Thiago Silva
Hey UFC4 go fuck yourself, how about that? Fucking punk, I was just asking for the source that says lesnar gets 5 mill a fight, it’s obvious one does not exist. Bunch of gabronis on a site pulling figures out of your ass.

nothing worse than a blurry 1 arm-up picture with directional ligthing to assess his muscle mass tho
Exactly
We have no idea what his composition really is.
Muscle is full of water, a muscular person can lose a lot more water weight than a skinny or fat one. 1.5 pounds of pectoral flesh wasn’t stopping Thiago from making weight. Not to say that Thiago isn’t overall bulkier than what would be an ideal weight to cut from.
The diet probably has more to do with sodium restriction and emptying the bowels more than anything.
he reads alot of Wikipedia.

Cheick Kongo owes me one
I fixed his Wikipedia page. It said he was known as “the Nut Crusher”, “the dirtiest fighter in the game”, etc.
lol
I wanna see kongo vs. Gilbert yvel in a douche off. Loser leaves town match.

Problem is, he is the dirtiest fighter, at least in the UFC, and he damn sure is a serial knee-to-the-groin offender.
Best wikipedia entry I saw was Griffin’s – it listed his losss to Silva moments before the fight began.

wow
Compare his chest and overall upper-body compared to when he fought hughes.
He looks more like a fighter and less like a bodybuilder.
This dolce-diet sure seems like the right thing for him.
Hard to tell if he's on weight based on one, blurry cellphone-cam shot.
But let’s hope.
Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary.
Oh boy
the “one-armed in front of the mirror with little clothing” pose. He’s not gonna start tweeting pictures of him making the duck face now is he?

Jealousy's a motherfucker....
In his defense, its pretty much a default pose. How else can you take a picture of yourself without looking like you care?
I'm just having a bit of a laugh at his expense
If I had a body like that, well let’s just say I wouldn’t be wearing the sweat pants in my pics ;)
"I'm not interested in touching dicks bro." -Luke Thomas
He probably wears them
to mask his ‘short comings’.
There’s nothing the ladies love more than a man who can fill out his sweat pants.
I should add
I’m always a little sensitive when it comes to people criticizing narcissists.
I asked my best friend what he’s getting me for Christmas, he said a picture of myself. So I guess I’m pretty conceded.

oh….right, I should have known that. The last two times I’ve gotten laid, the woman i’m sleeping with has made me watch the ducks game with her first. Football bores me. I keep hoping one of them will throw a flying knee once in a while.
What was the story there? That was a lousy sucker punch.

Says who?
The 280 lb DE it folded? It seemed to serve its purpose.
It was only half way a sucker punch. The guy pushed Lagarrete and literally turned away laughing immediately after. Rule #1 don’t shove an angry RB, then look away.
Thanks. The GIF doesn’t show the shove – that was the story I was wondering about.
The GIF only shows the RB punching the other guy when he isn’t looking, not what lead up to it. I meant lousy in the sense that sucker punches aren’t cool.

The only reason why hes taking this seriously...
Is because Dana will cut him if he doesn’t make weight again..
Nah
they’re just gonna force him to move up to MW after one more slip up, but if he misses weight and losses the fight who knows?
"I'm not interested in touching dicks bro." -Luke Thomas
You'd have to be stupid to lose Alves.
The last thing Dana wants is another top WW striker going to SF. Diaz and Daley could use the competition.
Can idiots finally stop complaining about Struve vs McKorkle being the co-main?
My god, when the full card was announced, and Struve-McKorkle was under GSP-Koscheck…the amount of guys that complained about that being the co-main was insane.
Obviously that wasn’t going to be the co-main, the UFC is smarter than that.
CPG
It will be an awesome fight, but I don't know why Howard gets the number 3 WW in the world (I put him after KOS) after a lost.
Even if Alves is coming off a lose.
Cause Howard can beat him.
Bad fight for Thiago IMO.
The UFC likes to book these kind of matches to give top guys a break and new guys a chance.
Exactly.
Remember Kos-Paulo Thiago?
So much cock. A cock guy.
Read my stuff at SMG.

Miranda was supposed to have the muay thai and wrestling to be at least competitive with Maia on paper…. But we all saw how that worked out.

Errr, just realized we might be talking past each other.
I was trying to say that the Maia fight wasn’t a “break” and Kos-Thiago fight wasn’t made to give Paulo a chance.

Break was a bad choice of words
‘Non-contender opponent’ would have been better.
I get what you mean. To me any opportunity to fight is a chance to win, even in the UFC.
Paulo Thiago, a relatively unheralded fighter from Brazil, made his UFC debut against Josh Koscheck. I’m pretty sure he was brought in to lose. How many other people make their debut against someone of that caliber?

Brock and Anderson were both heralded prospects.
How many other previously “no name” fighters are there that got thrown to the wolves their UFC debut, and are still around? Paulo was brought in to lose. Koschek knew this, was cocky and thought he could stand and trade because of it, and got KTFO.

I think we're in agreeance on this.
I said a few, meaning out of everyone in the UFC I could think of a few. Gomi got shafted.
What now?
Mir and Leben are the level of Koscheck?
You just wrinkled my brain.

I swear, he’s the scariest dude out there. I think of all people I’d hate to cross, he’s right up at the top of the list.
Why? Based on his temperament? Personality-wise, he seems cooler than many, the kind of guy who would let a non-fighter get away with at least a few stupid decisions before dropping him.
I definitely would not want to be locked in a cage with Alves (unless I was the ref), but outside of a cage, I bet he’s pretty cool – has too much to lose to be a wanker.
I would hate to face one of those guys who doesn’t stop until the ref shoves them off, but I don’t think Alves is one of those.

He’s the guy I was thinking of, but I couldn’t recall his name. Thanks.

In a reel fight
Palhares would drop down and heel hook your ass…then when he hears something break or pop, he’d go to a knee bar until getting the same result, and then he’d throw on an armbar and hold it until your arm broke, then he’d choke you unconscious with a rear naked choke.
And afterwards he would apologize and say he wasn’t trying to hurt you, tell you that you are a great fighter, but you felt suspiciously slippery.

Unless you can slip out of the heel hook in which case he’d just lay there with his arms outstretched while you punch him repeatedly in the face.

Indeed
I love that his natural line of logic is ‘they got out of my submission attempt, they must be greasing’
