Then Logan and Natasha were fired. Ya, I already didn't like Kos but that fight sealed it.
I cheered when Daley false cracked him after.
Perhaps Brittney wouldn't have been brought over from the WEC if Logan and Natasha were still around.
Thank you, Mr. Koscheck.

I haven't been watching MMA for very long so I've never heard of Koscheck's next opponent. Are they just feeding him a lower tier guy?
parrotbeak
Member
Nah, he's been around and is
Edit, actually looking at his record he hasn't really beat anyone I heard of before. He's just been around a while.
I bet we'll see Cain/Mir if they both win. The thing is, who is Mir going to fight now?

Have you guys noticed the ads for the upcoming cards? I saw one for both FX and the Fox card. You probably can't watch a more boring commercial than one with Jim Miller.

Hunt if he wins? Mitrione if he wins? I duno.

Pierce is a mid-level guy and Koscheck likes to fight a lot. Since all the top guys are locked down and he likes to keep active he gets mid-tier guys.
I think Carwin is out until the middle of the year. I have a feeling Mir is gonna get shelved for a while or get a squash match.
You could argue that Pierce beat Hendricks, who just KO'd Fitch. He held his own at the very least. Also gave Fitch some trouble of his own. I don't mind the match up at all given the circumstances.

Hmm, good point.
Pierce isn't known for his striking, right? I'd guess Kos will be banging away so should be good.
To me it would have made more sense to book Cain/Mir and then give Bigfoot someone like Kongo or Mitrione.

Reminder to get your picks in: http://fantasy.sherdog.com/JanFeb2012/cards/view
I almost forgot I hadn't picked for Mein/Woodley or Terry/Burrell. I went with Mein and Terry.

He's definitely a grinder. He's had flashes of good striking in the past (5 second KO of Dolce, had Fitch hurt). I'd say Koscheck is just a better version of him. You never know though.
Yeah. I'd say Cain's hands are too fast for Bigfoot to handle. Plus he already lost to an AKA fighter with a similar style. I would've rather have seen Mir vs. Cain or Mir vs. Bigfoot. Still, don't see this being a boring fight.

Totally serious...
I guess there was this fantasy storyline about Archie getting married a few years ago and this Life With Archie thing takes that premise and builds on it. So it's about the Archie gang all grown up and struggling with life because life is fucking hard. Mr. Lodge is now sinister and there's a secret plot with Dilton who has made a profound and terrifying discovery. Miss Grundy has a terminal illness and her husband, Mr. Weatherbee, is trying to be strong for everyone but it's wearing on him. Pop Tate retired and Jughead is trying to buy the Choklit Shop from him but he can't raise enough money and Mr. Lodge (who, as it turns out, hates small town Riverdale because he knows the real money is in booming metropolises) wants to buy out the place for development by sending Archie in to make an offer, causing friction between the two lifelong buddies. Some characters are dealing with their relationships fracturing and trying to learn how to move on after everything they ever wanted fell apart. It's just really good shit.
I feel like my Bad MMA instincts are going to get the best of me on this card, haha. We'll see.
Mein is tempting. If Woodley has trouble getting the takedown it's a long night.

Ariel says Bigfoot/Cain is far from being set in stone.
Jon Jones already wants to fight again.

Bring on Hendo then.

What Dana says about it
"What could end up happening is Dan Henderson fights Jon Jones first, and then [Jones' subsequent fight] would be close to the time that Rashad fights. Or we see how things go with Rashad [versus Phil Davis] and Rashad fights him first," said White.

Who should Gustafsson even fight right now?
Lil Nog or Forrest?
Lil Nog or Forrest?
What's the rush? Rashad is fighting in 3 weeks. If he wins and escapes injury free, book Jones/Evans. Otherwise, throw Hendo to Jones.
I don't see Rashad getting past Davis that easy. Yes Davis has been miserable and Rashad-like in his past few fights but people are way overrating Rashad based on the Tito fight. I do understand the interest from the drama angle, though Rashad's drama will always be severely discounted to me because of the Rampage farce.

Ya, I'm more interested in Hendo, and even that is hard to think what Hendo is going to have for Jones. It shows how far above Jones is that his main grudge is with a guy that doesn't seem to have anything for him.
Hmm, sounds interesting, i'll check it out. When is the next Heart coming out?
Gustafsson will most likely fight in Sweden on the 15th of April at UFC on Fuel TV 2.
If I can scrounge up the money I'll get tickets, even if the card looks kinda lackluster...

Was so glad to read that Jones wants to fight 3-4 times this year. I don't like the dude outside the octagon, but he fights well and it would be nice to have one active champ in the UFC. Everyone else is always injured.
I think they should put him against Hendo asap, Rashad will no doubt break something against Davis even if he wins.
edit: Cyborg is innocent ya'll:
"While I was preparing myself for my last fight, I was having a difficult time cutting weight and used a dietary supplement that I was assured was safe and not prohibited from use in sports competition. It was never my intention to obtain an unfair advantage over Hiroko, mislead Strikeforce, the commission or my fans."

God damn, BJ is a salty bitch. SMH at Hilo people looking down on Diaz for talking like a thug and smoking weed. Even his fans are calling him on this shit.

I don't know how that religion stuff works but why ask for God's forgiveness if it was an unintentional mistake.Cyborg said:
Yeah, I'm chalking this up along the lines of the Okami > Silva predictions.

Nah, this is a lot closer that Silva Okami. Silva Okami is like Jones Machida. Shad Davis is more like Kos Pierce.

If BJ didn't have cardio like BJ Penn he could have put up a better fight.
