F*CK YO COUCH!! . . . too funny.

That’s a pretty awesome card.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
I'm even impressed with many of the prelim fights
If they have the prelims on Spike (which I hope they do), then there are in my opinion five prelims that I’d like to see: Melvin Guillard vs. Thiago Tavares, Todd Duffee vs. Mike Russow, Chris Leben vs. Aaron Simpson, Efrain Escudero vs. Dan Lauzon, and Luiz Cane vs. Cyrille Diabate. Sucks seeing Duffee on the prelims, but hopefully his fight will be shown.

something tells me thats an old picture of rampage ;)
I'm old school hating Lesnar, I've been hating Lesnar since '08
They spent 14 hours air brushing his gut out.

Bisping seems too highly placed on the card.
Also, I’m not sure why people are sleeping so hard on Evans in this.
Unless Rampage comes into this wildly out of shape and form, he’s going to knock Rashad on his ass.

I'm rooting for Rashad...
I’m pretty sure he’s not going to try and trade punches with Rampage.

Exactly
And from the looks of it, that’s a pretty good number to place a mid sized bet on Rashad.
I'm thinking about it since I'll actually be in Vegas for this one...
I’m staying away from the Forrest fight though, when i count him out he wins; when I root for him he gets demolished.

Obviously shopped. Rampage says Rashad’s breath stinks lol doubt he get that close

He's been using that same joke for 10 years now
not funny anymore…get some new material

This is how I expect things to go.
I hope Rashad wins, cause I just don’t care for Rampage, but I figure Rashad goes to sleep in the second.
I don't want to lick any butt. - GSP
I’m so torn on who to pick in this fight.
Jackson has the power to put Rashad to sleep but Rashad has been training and improving the whole time Rampage has been living the celeb lifestyle.

Rashad looked really good early. He was mixing striking with takedowns and getting Silva to the ground with ease.
Problem is he didn’t do much when he got there. Rampage is a lot harder to takedown andif he can keep the fight standing, he should KO Evans.
Rashad is my boy....
but he will only be Rampage by decision. He won’t out wrestle him and definitely won’t stand and bang with him. He just gonna have to stay busy and try to stay in the clinch. Otherwise he’s goin to sleep.
I'm picking Evans based on one factor.
Rampage has fought Jardine.
Evans is perfect when fighting opponents that have been vetted by Jardine.
Alright. So two guys staring at each other way too closely. Random black and white old-timey Octagon photo in background. Grey text on black and white background. Weird bright light and shiny affect on their’s foreheads that actually causes Rashad’s to blend into the background. Complete lack of a barnburner of a co-main event on the poster.
Why, UFC, why?
Also, make this a 4-man LHW tourney. Please?!
Oh and Nogueira is looking mighty purdy at those odds. I see no way that Griffin wins that fight.

rampage and shogun were easy money too
i really advise people to not bet against forrest if it goes to a decision hes gonna win it no matter what and ive lost a ton of money betting against tthe guy
People advised not to take Anderson against Forrest at -300 too.

Lyoto at -150 or whatever retarded line I got it at against Rashad.

I completely agree.
Lil’ Nog will devestate Forrest. Caveman’s striking is absolutely not even close to Nogs’ boxing skills. I would love to see winner of this fight take on Jon Jones. Then after Lil’ Nog unfortunately beats Jon Jones he can either enter into title contention and take on Shogun after he properly beats Machida again. This making a badass rematch between Lil’ Nog and Shogun.
Jones will beat Lil' Nog, dominate Machida, own the LHW division
Leading up to his fight with Phil Davis on Dec 21, 2012 (UFC 152: Freaky Friday Special). The two men will simultaneously shoot for a double leg takedown, causing their explosiveness to collide with each other and disrupting the space/time continuum. The world ends shortly thereafter.

What I find interesting is what kind of strategy will Rashad come out with? We know how Rampage will fight, basically he will just try and box, but will Rashad try and use his wrestling like he did against Thaigo or will he revert back to his striking style?
"If your going to come on then come on!" - Harold Howard
- Rashad will try to move in and out and stay away from Rampage’s power.
- He will clinch and ONLY try double-leg takedowns, not a single leg take-down. From there he will easily transition into side control in order to ground and pound.
- BUT Evans will not try to shoot for takedown often. He may foolishly try a bunch of leg kicks.

I like this card.
Looking at future cards it appears the minimum amount of fights per UFC card going forward is 11. This one has 12. Has the UFC bumped up the standard number of fights per card?
I wonder if that run of injuries played apart in them adding a fight or two to every card to help be prepared for any future injuries?
Just BE.
I think UFC is employing a larger roster of fighters in order to keep them away from SF so they need more fights to keep them busy.

Yawn.
Kind of a boring card IMO. I want to see Rogerio but I know Griffin sucks.

Griffin has already stated that Rogerio is a bad fight for him. I don’t expect much from that fight but we all know Forrest will try.

In case Page gets cold feet
UFC better have someone in the wings ready to fight Evans, perhaps Randy?!
Think about it, they can do Randy v Rich anytime. Randy is one of those guys who are like instant mashed potatoes. Randy v Evans would be a very good matchup.
When Whaaaaampage loses, they better put him on 24/7 suicide watch immediately.
