UFC 141 |OT| BROCKZILLA VS THE REEM FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY HORSE MEAT

Fun fact: one of my good friends grew up with Donald Cerrone. Must be surreal to see your childhood friend highlighting a UFC show.
 
I want to go for cerrone especially since I am a colorado native. But I'm a huge fan of the diaz brothers so I'd like to see nate pull it off. Either way the fights will be siiiick.

What happened yesterday when Dana White brought us together to do a pose-down? That was all Diaz. He came towards me, he was mumbling something stupid – who knows what, you can't tell a word of it and when you do it still makes no sense – and I said "let's bring it" and he swatted my cowboy hat and acted all tough guy.

That's a $1000 hat he knocked on the ground.

Yeah, I am pretty damn mad. But I'm not getting paid to fight at press conferences. I get paid to fight at UFC 141 on tomorrow night, co-main event, when it counts and where it counts: in the Octagon.

Let's see if this little (individual) is brave and such a tough guy on Friday. Let's see if he gets in my face then. Let's see if he even has the balls to even come close. I acted like a professional yesterday, and I will act like one today at the weigh-in. Tomorrow night, I'm gonna make him pay.

What yesterday showed was that the bully is getting bullied. The Diaz brothers are bullies, all that street-thug stuff gets inside opponent's heads. They are the guys who punk everyone out and get in everyone else's heads, but what's happened now, tough guy? Now the tables have been turned on you and you are getting punked out, you are the guy freaking out and looking uncomfortable and your delusions of being this intimidating bad ass aren't working no more.

It feels good to turn the tables, to see this (individual) get punked out. I'm in his head now, he looked uncomfortable when I worked out in front of him, and he freaked out yesterday.

He's worrying about me rather than on what he's doing.

But I'm not underestimating him. Like I said all week, I respect the guy as a fighter. He will bring it tomorrow night. I know he will fight with everyone he's got. But that's not enough. Nowhere even close.

That same dumb hands-up tough-guy pose he did at the press conference? He does that in the Octagon too. That's going to be his ticket to a world of hurt. That's going to get his head bashed in and his ribs cracked open.

Cowboy understands why I hate the Diaz bros.
 
I don't know enough about Overeem to make a super pick but it's experience that kills Brock. I don't think he knows what to do in that moment when the fight turns to the opponents favor (which will likely come early).
 
Somebody explain to me how exactly Reem is gonna stop the bull charge. Brock can take anyone down at least once or twice, just the fighters who can beat him can get up from his takedowns. Reem isn't a smaller faster guy, hes a huge guy who will be easy to grab. Does Reem have the speed or wrestling skill to get up from those takedowns? Because that is what will decide the fight, make no mistake about it.
 
A small moral victory for yacobud: I'm not confident enough to boost The Reem via 1st round KO/TKO.

I boosted Reem by 1st round TKO. I never use more than 1 or 2 boosters either. That shit's a trap.

Pro tip: Quantity over quality! The Stockton Slap of boosting.

Did you see his last fight? Don't get caught up in this Ubereem hype...

I was never caught up. Reem hype, I'm trying to get overeem-gaf to explain their logic to me. I like Reem a lot as a person, but I see him as the most overrated fighter in mma
 
Boosted a Brock TKO in Rd. 1. CAN YOU SEE ME NOW!?

Also, when I first placed my picks I had a lot of decisions. I added a few more finishes, in optimism :(

Let's judge both guys on their last fight.

And I actually picked Hendricks over Fitch. Call me crazy but Fitch has not fought a wrestler since GSP and that didn't turn out so well.

I had a lot of decisions too. There's a lot of grinders on this card.

Not too crazy to me. I might end up switching to Hendricks. I think he has a solid chance to pull off the upset, especially with Fitch coming off surgery.
 
Does the Sherdog pool keep a scoreboard for each event, or just overall? I wasn't here for Strikeforce.
