Hasn't the word on Aldo been that he's having trouble making 145 and he's going in a little weaker/dehydrated than he used to be?

She's pushing for a fight with Tate at 135 and I agree that's a much better fight for her. No female is a good fight for Cyborg.
This. Watching a bunch of SF while at home sick, and I can't get over how irritating the comments are. Especially the loud and long laugh fits at their own bad jokes.
Fuck ya
<blows vicks inhaler into eye>
Hahahahahahaha
My picks up till now were slightly better than 50/50. But can a coin rationalize why it fell heads or tails and tell other coins why they are wrong?
I'm going to go watch some Challengers so I know these guys fighting Saturday.
I had heard Aldo has a hard time making 145 but that pic above might just be the angle. When i watched the redneck commentary on Reem Brock, the angle of the tv made it look extreme--whoever was in the foreground looked much smaller (or other way around, whatever).
None of the guys fighting this weekend were on Challengers 20, but I can't recommend it enough. It's easily a top 10 card of 2011 in my book.
EDIT: I lied, Amagov was on there!

I usually do watch Challengers but my problem is I can never remember anyone later so can't remember if I saw it or not. Unless there's women fighting, cuz I can usually remember them a little easier.

Hnnnnggggg
A brief urge to smoke Lucky Strikes just came over me. MMM... oh good the moment's passed.
I imagine if I actually tallied up my picks I would land square between a 45% - 55% success rate. May as well be flipping a coin.

Jon Jones killed a dragon and nobody from PETA is giving him shit about it.

There should be no controversy over it. He's not exactly poaching animals so there is nothing wrong with it.
The more aesthetically pleasing an animal is, the more likely people will be uncomfortable or upset with someone killing it for 'sport.' Myself included. It doesn't have to be rational, it's just the way it is. Personally I'm all for killing for food, I have freezers full of venison and cow. I just never understood the idea of seeing something beautiful and wanting to kill it as a trophy.

Yeah I don't give a fuck about crushing mudcrabs or frostbite spiders with my orcish mace of flames but bunnies, foxes, and elk are a whole different story.
Didn't see this posted here yet: UFC targeting summer for Junior Dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem title fight - http://mmajunkie.com/news/26805/ufc...os-santos-vs-alistair-overeem-title-fight.mma
Kind of a shame we have to wait for that long for some reason. Junior said he'd be able to train 100% in 10 days, and that was a week ago. Can't imagine Overeem being too injured from his fight against Lesnar either. Maybe the additional testing? Fighters just taking some time off is quite odd in a sport where a lot of fights are cancelled for injuries already.
Yeah, I know that. Commented on it in the OT thread for the last UFC. Strange how these guys just take time off when the slogan is UFC - where the best fight the best 3 times a year. I understand the management issues etc., though.

During the press conference Overeem said he wanted to take a big vacation and return in the summer.
All the guys I know who are into hunting are douchebags. Maybe a coincidence.
Reem is getting married and has legal issues to deal with.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
The Triple Crown isn't over until June anyway.
Every person who exists on this planet today does so because somewhere along the lines their ancestors had to be hunters. Its the reason our species survived to this point. Cant really get mad at probably the oldest tradition known to man.

Why can't Matt Hughes be more like Big Foot Silva and Dan Henderson and recycle? They crush cans.

Sorry guys, I came out and tried my best but I only had a few minutes to train while you guys have been here all of the past few days. Even going against that I did my best, had a partially broken neck and cracked skull, and even had a hamstring strain yesterday and couldn't do anything, but I'm not out here to make excuses I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and be positive and come out better than ever next time at my best.

I promised my wife I would retire from trolling either after that troll, or if it was successful, the troll after that.

Chael Sonnen confirmed last night that C.M. Punk would be in his corner for his 1/28 match with Mark Munoz at the United Center in Punk's home city of Chicago.
Punk was able to get the night off from a scheduled WWE house show in Evansville.
It has been a long time since a WWE star has cornered a UFC fighter, but Batista, Undertaker, Vampiro and other pro wrestlers have cornered big-name boxers including Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales in recent years.

If I were fighting either of the Diaz bros I'd let Golddust corner me and get in their head with his homoerotic tactics. You know 209 can't handle that shit.

CM can't be that much worse of a corner man than Seagal.
they probably still train like that at hammer house, lion's den, stary oskol, etc.
Another Denzel gif for the rotation.
I think this was announced by a fake Uncle Dana twitter account.

That's probably how Brock should have trained for Reem.

Professional wrestlers as cornerman will prob do less attention whoring than Master Tong.
