not that big of an irvin fan, but hopefully he manages to stay healthy leading up to the fight. dude has had some bum luck. i’m interested to see how he does with the cut to 185 as well.
I’m also interested to see how he deals with the cut. He seemed to have very little body fat at 205.

DirecTV blows, October my 2 year contract ends…then I get my WEC and now UFC on versus back. Too bad I cant watch this card from the comfort of my own couch…
I raised hell about it and got my cancellation fee waived...
Now I have sucky Comcast, and can’t order PPV’s in HD…but at least i don’t miss my WEC anymore…

"There are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence." - Michael Bluth
One of my favorite lines from the best TV show ever.
I have Comcast
And I can get PPV in HD…but the stupid thing is you can’t order through the PPV menu, you have to find the HD PPV channel (in the 800s somewhere). I bought two SD PPVs before I found that out. Aggravating.
Unless they haven’t rolled out HD PPV in your area, in which case I’ll just shut up.
Get rid of the ramp!
no comcast and versus blow
they had to bitch because they were being put on the sports package for directv. um im pretty sure they wanna be a sports channel and let the customers who really want versus pay for that sports package on directv. its pretty simple solution.
Two of my favorite "decent" fighters going at it? Yes please
Also, WAR ALESSIO SAKARA
Walking the line between intelligence and ignorance since 1985
@deowade
Ha! I remember that fight. It was like Sakara was doing the 100 meter sprint there.
I have a soft spot for dudes like Sakara and Irvin. I hope Sakara takes this though. LEGIONARIUS!!!
You have to be the man... you have to be very, like, alpha male with her. You know? Decide what you do and everything. So, show her who's the boss, you know? - GSP
I hope Sakara wins too.
Not only do I like him as a fighter, He also has some of the best tattoos in MMA.

Am sick for thinking that ko is both beautiful an hilarious?

My favourite
is still the KO of Justin Eilers by Paul Buentello, where his eyes cross and his legs give out about three seconds later.
Kind of sad in the wake of Eilers’ death, but that KO was a thing of beauty and brutality.
Get rid of the ramp!
Vera knocking out Eilers was pretty sweet too

Great card. Irvin/Sakara will be fun.
The Seattle Seahawks offense is driving......right into a brick wall at the end of the tunnel.
Especially since it’s essentially free to many people; I wonder if I’ll be able to find it here in the UK, though…

Boo, I wanted them to bump up Guida he deserves to be on the main card heck the guy will probably have more people cheering for him than anyone else on the entire card.
Gugerty should get finished within the 1st round
I think we’ll be seeing Guida.
The Seattle Seahawks offense is driving......right into a brick wall at the end of the tunnel.
This fight should finish in the first as well so that should open up some time.
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
Which was the exact opposite of the last Fight Night.
They got some hitters.

Jones/Vera could go the distance.

that would shock me
i really think someones gettin ktfo’d in that fight
Jones/Vera going the distance to me means Vera fights very cautiously
As Jones picks him apart.

wow kongo's gettin a whole lotta love
buentellos worth a play here and so is vera i think jones is gonna run through him but ive been more wrong before
that one actually seems about right
the only way gonzaga wins that fight is if he takes JDS down and JDS’s ground game winds up sucking, which is a possibility since we’ve never ever seen it before
but he does train with the nogueria brothers who say hes good and that means something so i gotta believe hes at least gonna have the ability to avoid gonzagas takedowns and if he winds up on his back escape or limit the damage he recieves
i've got my ticketz!!
awesome month for fightz!! anyone else VERY excited????
