I'm a massive JDS fan, but

I kinda want Roy to win for these 3 reasons:

1.) It will piss off Dana White to no end knowing this guy will get a title shot.

2.) Roy won’t have to face Shane Carwin, which would be a lopsided beatdown, as opposed to JDS who is more than capable of defeating Shane with his power.

3.) The possibility of Brock Lesnar vs. Roy Nelson would result in legendary advertising.

Can't wait!!!!

Sonnen will be beaten into oblivion and his 15 mins of fame will be over. He will be lucky to receive as much attention as Thales Leites, Patrick Cote, and Damian Maia after tonight. Silva’s beating will make him write a book and do a book tour like Forrest Griffin Or maybe he will jump weight classes to get away from Silva like Rich Franklin Or go to Strikeforce like Dan Henderson. LMFAO at the thought of Sonnen winning.

O/T but I just realized UFC 122

Will be going up against Pacquiao vs. Margarito, which now makes me wonder if Dana’s decision to put this on Spike has to do with counter-programming that card.

10-9, very close to 10-8.

Nelson did a really good job of covering up and deflecting a lot of those punches but he still got his ass kicked.

who wins the overall fight all depends on how long it stays on the feet. thats definitly a point of contention we can argue for fanposts and fanposts about but the point I am making is that I do not think brock survives striking against JDS, while I think cain has a good chance

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems?

Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems?

GREAT SHOW

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

That is correct

It would help him pee out and sweat out water weight.

Called it before the fight:
Cardio - The BIG question. Does Shane Carwin have cardio? He's never gone past the first round. His muscle mass is astounding and we all know that with all that muscle comes a need for the heart to pump fresh oxygenated blood to keep them from building lactic acid. He does train up in the thin air of Colorado, so that can't do anything but help. However, we have seen him pretty winded after a 1st round fight. Adrenaline dump or cardio problems? We won't find out the answer to that until someone takes him out of the first round.

Chael tapped clearly. Then he’s like “O crap, better not.” But he did. For a second there he gave up, not very champion like. Plus he denied that he tapped, saw the replay and got the ref to explain it to him and decided not to protest because he knows it was true.
