Predictions

I pray to one god......and his name is Kazushi Sakuraba.
FYI
Dana said the bonuses will be 100g’s

Whoaaaaaa, can I be a last second fill in? I guarantee it’ll be highlight reel material

Unfortunately the dude who gets knocked out in highlight reel style doesn’t get the bonus. :P

I’m guessing the fan voted FOTN bonus of $100k(50k per fighter) is in addition to the other 3 normal bonuses. Just cause the PPV bonus money for Fight, Sub, and KO has been above 50k for a long time and I see no reason for them to lower those bonuses to 50k for this event that is breaking gate and attendance records.
Just BE.
Anyone have the link?

Works for me. Nobody up yet though.
How Come the Website Won't Let me Vote Anymore?
The fights were over about 20 minutes ago and I can’t even vote for FotN. Was I too late and voting happen that fast? I just got home.

Kos - GSP
Dana said he thought it was one of the prelim fights. I wasn’t paying attention yet alas, didn’t hear which one.
It's funny how yet again GSP is a part of a FOTN by beating someone to a pulp
Accustomed to mediocrity.
I hope alves/howard and riddle/pierson get a nice locker room bonus check. They deserve something for entertaining fights.

Yeah
Cause there is no way he is gonna get a KOTN or SOTN, you actually have to finish fights to get those so, they had to do a little something for him in his hometown.
" Show him your jab Kenny! Serra! Serra! Where's the lip gloss Serra? Keep it up Kenny! Your hair looks marvelous in there! " - Unknown KenFlo corner man
GSP finished Hughes twice, Serra, Sherk, Trigg, Hieron, and Penn
Let’s not act like he’s a decision whore and he was definitely not a lnp.
He can beat you any way possible.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Am I missing anyone, btw?
I think that’s his finishing history in the UFC. Pretty impressive.
Accustomed to mediocrity.
Not missing any finishes, but I always like to mention that he FLOORED Fitch hard two (three?) times, and nearly ripped Hardy’s arm off. It’s hard to fault Georges for fighting guys who are inhumanly tough.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
Inhumanly tough seems a little much, given that Hardy was knocked clean out in his very next fight and Koscheck’s striking became gif worthy against Paulo Thiago (albeit in a rather controversial stoppage).

I didn’t mention Kos, and Hardy getting KO’d has very little to do with Hardy gritting through a wicked armbar and deep kimura.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
I hate when people say this.
They were applied wrong !!!!!! Hardy should have been tapped. he had his hand ready and George couldn’t finish due to poor technique . Hardy being tough has little to do with it. The ref will stop the fight when the arm snaps. You dont need someone to tap. Tap , Snap or Nap all will get you a submission win. Snaps and Naps get you a “Technical submission”. See tim sylvia vs mir , or Cantwell vs Al-Hussan

You're right...
…..Because a challenger who got outclassed and pummeled for 5 rounds by a dominant champion who didn’t get so much as a scratch on him the entire 5 rounds is sooooo boring.
by ultima0chaotic on Dec 12, 2010 2:12 AM EST up reply actions
yeah
It is. It wasn’t much of a fight. No drama like Santiago vs Mizaki, or Silva vs Sonnen.
No back and forth.
No super exciting moments.
At least when BJ Penn dominated a guy he would lick his gloves and open some bleeding gash.
Not saying it wasn’t a dominant performance, or that GSP isn’t great….I just don’t like watching him fight.

Some people
think fights that aren’t competitive aren’t entertaining.
Weird, huh?

Kos vs. GSP FOTN?
I wouldn’t call that competitive, but I don’t think Koscheck is gonna complain getting an extra 100K for being a punching bag for 25 minutes.
"Although detractors decry it as a brutal, bloody form of human cockfighting, aficionados know it is a brutal, bloody, totally f***ing awesome form of human cockfighting"
Prob not the right place and time. No FWs on the card. 125 will get more of those b/c of WEC fighters’ debuts.

GSP/KOS being FOTN? fuck that!
Alves/Howard was a better fight than the main event, they just got it because of all the Canadian votes.

It’s what I did

Dana is insane if he thought Pierson vs Riddle was FOTN. What a sloppy display of boxing.
Dana really has to stop rewarding these sloppy boxing fests, those do nothing to show how great these athletes are, and how technical they’ve become. Ugh.
Spencer the Cripple!
Before you freak out! I am not being offensive! That was “Spencer the cripple” making everyone laugh, he is part of a Toronto morning show called “The Dean Blundell Show” on 102.1 the edge.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!
