I was picking Bader but I didn’t think he would be favored

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton

We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!

Rogerio looked godawful against Brilz. Bader is better than Brilz in every way… well, maybe not cardio. As long as Bader doesn’t gas too badly, I think he shuts down Rogerio completely. And then the overrating will begin… and Jon Jones will have to correct that.

What? No mention of the Mir/Carwin fight?

mir is such a hater

cro cop’s RNC of barry was the most technically proficient choke i’ve ever seen

You must defeat me to stand a chance.

BJ vs. Stevenson and vs. Florian trump that any day

The fact that you even came up with counterexamples is kind of funny to me.

Bader is overrated

But he has the ability to completely shut down Nog.

Mir is going to have Mirko in a RNC

The PRIDE theme starts playing all of the sudden Fedor runs out and stomps Mir in the face the bell rings and Cecil People’s scores the fight for Brock Lesnar.

THAT is how much pro wrestling has influenced MMA.

This is gonna a throwback fight

where we’ll see a cookie cutter mold fight between striker and grappler. Mir has decent boxing but he wouldn’t want anything to do with standing up against CC.

too bad Mir isnt talking as much shit as he did with Kongo.. that was just hilarious the kinds of things he said.
