I just want to get a feel here.
Kennedy wins this right?
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
i'm really hoping for victory for tim
but i’m expecting a hard fought loss…jacare is a tough fight for anyone.
"45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly"
Here is why I feel like Kennedy has this one.
“Every single round, every single minute, pick up the pace and just keep bringing the fight to Souza.”
Jacare gassed in his last fight. If Kennedy stays smart and doesn’t get caught in a submission he can wear Jacare down and maybe get a TKO in the later rounds or get a decision victory.
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
Love the interview
but I still feel that Kennedy is F’d here.
I apologize for my never-ending assault on the English Language. I feel like Qui the promoter from Jade Empire...
Best fight of the night and I have no idea how it will go
but if Kennedy’s still getting 2-1ish, that seems like an awfully good bet.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Sounds like Tim Kennedy would like BE

I'm probably going to get bashed for this
but I can’t stand it when people take sanctimonious offense at figures of speech
as Kennedy did with the ‘mma as war’ metaphor in this interview. He’s an actual soldier, a cool guy and a great fighter, and I understand where he’s coming from but it still bugs the heck out of me.
In any case, this is an incredible fight and I can’t wait to watch it.
I found it interesting that he complains about the term ‘war’ being used too loosely, but then says it is a ‘tragedy’ that MMA journalism is the way it is.
I love the guy, but can’t have it both ways.

Hearing people talk about “wars” probably provokes a gut reaction from him, because he understands the word in a far different way than most people. He also acknowledges that it’s kind of elitist or whatever. And he has a right to be. I use the word to spice up my sentences; he actually knows what it means, for real.

Class Act
Tim is a class act all the way around. MMA needs more people/athletes like him.
gotta love it
This fight should be really solid, a good addition to the overall good card SF is putting together for this Houston event. Really looking forward this this one, as well as King Mo’s title D. Side note for everyone – I heard Sherdog.com will be live streaming the event Sat night, for those who don’t have Showtime. Good deal!
So I guess
you won’t be printing a retraction or an apology for offending many many people by calling pro wrestling fans fat retards? That won’t be happening?

That's pretty sad.
Hopefully you learn to show more respect to people somewhere down the road. With the things you say, I doubt it though.

I don't suffer fools gladly
If people don’t like me or my ideas or my opinions, I can live with that. But you or anyone’s mere existence isn’t going to force me into phony sense of acknowledgment. You’ve got to earn it. I’ll afford you the same legal and human rights as I would the homeless, but no more and no less. And guess what? Everyone is welcome to apply the same measurement to me. I have no issue with it. It’s called being discerning.
There are a few exceptions of people I like who also enjoy p.w. Chad Dukes I have great respect for. Mauro Ranallo being another. But generally speaking, it’s a contemptible exercise of more than dubious merit with an audience whose judgment I seriously question and whose palate for entertainment I find downright embarrassing.
Others are free to feel the same way about me. You can’t please everyone. I’m not going to bother trying.

So it would be okay for me to call you a retard right now because I don’t agree with you?

You’re trying to set me up, aren’t you Luke? I will tread carefully :)

What the hell, did you just call us all bums? You’re gonna have a quit a problem on your hands mister when an army of obese, mentally challenged hobos come knocking at your door and all the loose change and SpaghettiOs in the world wont be able to save you from your big fat, dirty, lice infested come upons.
Seriously, why don’t you just go attacking sex offenders and alienate the last bit of your audience (you haven’t said anything about us yet so me and you are still cool).
Matt Hughes has some serious "mentally challenged" strength applying a choke to Ricardo Almeida’s neck strong enough to squeeze a turd out of his other end.
Hey Luke
Any chance you’ll be apologizing to fat retards everywhere for lumping us in with wrestling fans?

I lost a little faith in Jacare
when he was unable to seriously threaten Villasenor on the ground. I think Kennedy’s grappling is a bit better than Villasenor’s and thus he should be able to at least survive when Jacare gets him down. From there I think his cardio will outlast Jacare’s and get him a late TKO or close decision.

Villasenor is the unsung hero of SF's MW division IMO
so i wasn’t surprised that he was able to do what he did against Jacare, but I agree that Souza’s cardio will be his undoing here.

As for Villasenor surviving
Someone pointed out back on the GSP-fighting-cautious-in-his-own-words post comments that it can be difficult to finish a guy who is actively working not to get subbed, implicitly “even if he’s not doing anything else towards actually winning.”
TK: …It’s just a tragedy that— you know, are we really having promotions that are dictating how journalism in a sport is? I think right now it kinda is, and I’m just hoping that someday it won’t be that way.
LT: Well, it’s not even “kinda,” it’s definitely that way….
Any chance of expounding on this Luke.
I think its more de facto dictation than actual…knowing how inane the promotors (Read: Dana) can be, people respect the implied threat of no access.
One of the benefits of Dana’s purported ill feelings toward certain people here at BE is it gives those people the freedom to speak the truth without fear of repercussions…its like the line from some movie I don’t recall where they were sentenced to death by the Chinese already, yet warned to stop what they were saying to which they replied something like “what are you going to do, kill me twice?”
