For those of you interested in the Top-100, have no fear, I've been hard at work. The website is almost finished once I add the four Strikeforce fights from last week, and I just finished a write-up on another assured Top-100 fight, Diego Sanchez vs. Martin Kampmann from UFC on Versus 3.
So no fear, gents, Top-100 is moving and moving fucking fast. I'll have a post up this weekend about the site.

Best Viewing Options: A man whose football teams had just about the worst weekend you can conjur attemtps to distract you from ESPN highlights to a more fruitful pursuit.
1. Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz: Yeah yeah yeah, Floyd, but FUCKING SAUL ALVAREZ! We have the opportunity to watch a Mexican legend in Erik Morales and the next fantastic Mexican fighter in Saul Alvarez. I've been watching Saul for a couple years and he is truly the brightest prospect in all combat sports. Not Bones, not Rory, not Spong, Saul Alvarez. "Canelo", the freckled-redheaded Mexican is the next breakout star in boxing. As for Floyd, he finally has an opponent that can match his speed. Ortiz's technique, heart, chin, and nerves are suspect, but one thing that thankfully won't happen is another Floyd-Mosley fight. Ortiz will at least give Floyd a sweat.
2. UFC Fight Night: Shields vs. Ellenberger: I don't like Shields, but incredible respect and condolences for his loss and persevering. Poor Ellenberger now is in a lose/lose fight. What a shitty situation for both guys. The only reason this isn't lower is because I'm a tremendous Alan Belcher fanboy, and you should be too.
3. Bellator 50: I love Bellator, but I'm kind of disappointed in them this season. There are middleweights out there for the taking. Gerald Harris, Falcao, Marquardt, Tom Watson, Leites, Nakamura, Lindland, Khalidov, Hell probably even Ninja for the right price. They chose to throw the same bodies in the tourney. Bryan Baker, who I think has the best chance to beat Lombard, keeps being the Dan Hornbuckle of the Middleweight division and choking before he even gets his shot.
4. 24/7 Mayweather vs. Ortiz: HBO will be showing all the 24/7s in order multiple times. You owe it to yourself to check them out.
5. Inside MMA: Like I say, Inside MMA is required watching, especially since this is their 200th show.
6. Aggression MMA 8: Pretty stacked card for a regional show. Still, good planning on their part for a Friday event. I may just pay my ten-spot to watch it.
7. FILA Wrestling Championship: Watch some freestyle wrestling and pinpoint some future stars. Chael will hunt you down if you don't.
8. Legacy Fighting Championship 8: Gah what a shitty card. Spratt and Schambari are pretty entertaining, but ehhhh....
9. Manuel Perez vs. Mercito Gesta: Fox Sports wisely moves this to live on Sunday night. It's a nice distraction from football or DVR-quality rare important live fight from FSN.
10. Shooto Brazil: Fight for B.O.P.E.: What else are you doing at 4 on a Friday besides hitting happy hour? Watch possibly the most underrated man in Mixed Martial Arts, Glover Texiera.
BV Loses You Money: A man that just had an abysmal fantasy week advises you how to invest your own moneys better than he did.
Last Weekend's Hangover:
