In other news, I was going through some old baseball cards and thinking of buying some UFC cards online. Nothing expensive, but there's a pretty cool set some guy is selling for $15 shipped on eBay.

I'm surprised the odds are even at -110 for the Barnett-Cormier fight. I was expecting Barnett to be a bigger favorite, is there something I don't know about Cormier (besides not knowing much about Cormier). Is it really that even of a match?

The only thing you need to know about him is that Barnett will make him tap in this fight.

When's it start?

When's it start?

8 EST prelims, 10 EST main card

Apparently, all the fighters on the UFC heavyweight card picked Cormier but fighters are notorious for being stupid people.

How did we miss this one today from TMZ too?

Wow it is a bad fucking week for Dana.

I love how you put legit kill into the article.

Killing a bear lame.

Fedor's brother does it with a knife doesn't he? If you're gonna do it thats how it should be done.

Mike Easton is replacing Barao against Menjivar. Good fight.

on Facebook ?

The strikeforce site looks like the UFC's now

 

[Zeliard]

lol, even Strikeforce's web page is bush league. Those links at the top look like something from someone's first HTML effort.

Cormier went an easy 8-0 as a prospect, then he dominated and knocked out the guy that recently trashed Fedor.

For this fight, stylistically, the favourite is Cormier. Barnett's main game is his submissions and wrestling, and unfortuantely for him, Cormier is an Olympic wrestler.

It also doesn't help Barnett that Cormier has iron fists.

Cormier by KO.

Omigawa vs Gamburyan at UFC On Fox 4.

Strikeforce prelims are on Showtime Extreme.

Didn't it originally look like someone made the Barnett/Cormier fight announcement on Word?

 

[dream]

Well, yeah, but Cormier is so tiny.

 

[tass0]

Guto Inocente would be a prospect if his cardio wasn't so shit.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

this fight is hilarious

e; these drunken spinning backfists never fail to make me laugh

 

[zsswimmer]

I feel like if Inocente didn't try to roll that modified guillotine to the mount he would've submitted or choked out Zwicker. All he did was just lose position.

 

[BigKaboom2]

Guto Inocente would be a prospect if his cardio wasn't so shit.

I think even guys with good cardio would be fairly exhausted after doing what he did in the first round.

I wish I put money on Barnett after seeing those odds. He fuckin got this. Hes gonna put Cormier on his back and either sub/blanket him.

 

[thefro]

I heard Shamrock finally got his braces off

 

[Chamber]

I feel like a lot of you will be crushed when Barnett is exposed as a career can.

Barnett is on a a huge win streak with his only losses coming to two guys at the peak of their careers.

Barnett is on a a huge win streak with his only losses coming to two guys at the peak of their careers.

He's also been ranked in the top 10 since 2002.

Still a can.

 

[tass0]

Oh god. I feel bad for Mike Kyle.

 

[Chamber]

He's also been ranked in the top 10 since 2002.

Still a can.

Thank you, friend.

 

[tass0]

omfg I so thought Melendez was gonna tap there

 

[charsace]

Thompson is showing people how overrated Melendez is. Melendez would have problems in the UFC.

I think Barnett will win by sub.

 

[Jaladinozozo]

Clay Guida would prolly beat Melendez.

 

[Host Samurai]

Partying all day at EDC NYC. Missed my opportunity to talk major shit. Enjoy your night guys.

 

[charsace]

Thompson is the homeless man's version of Edgar. Edgar would kill Melendez.

 

[tass0]

Gilbert Melendez hype train derailed.

Honestly, Round 3 could be a toss up.

Rd 1, 2 = Melendez

Rd 4, 5 = Thomson

I see a split decision.

I told you guys that Melendez wasn't taking him seriously, and look what happens.

 

[Master Thespian]

I started out the fight thinking Bendo would murder this guy. As the fight went on, I came to the conclusion that Jim Miller would work this dude. Anything done outside the Ultimate doesn't really matter.

That isn't it. Thompson is solid everywhere and Gilbert has problems with that. He would get beat down in the UFC.

Nate Diaz would legit kill his hero?

#1 lightweight in the world Gilbert Melendez. Come get it Bendo.

They said the same thing about WEC guys, then look what happened.

Pretty sure people said Brock Lesnar would merk Overeem when he was still at SF, too.

Thomson just has Gil's number tbh, Thomson is pretty good.

 

[charsace]

Nate Diaz would legit kill his hero?

If Nate wasn't hanging off his balls and was looking to kill him in the ring? Hell yes he would beat him.

Hopefully, Josh won the real war -- a ticket to the Ultimate -- while Gilbert is forced to continue languishing in Strikefarce.

 

[Heel]

I hope Josh does go to the Ultimate. He would push Frankie Edgar's shit in.
