im in Mississauga, Ontario

are you Canadian?

 

[madakira]

i was born and raised in Winnipeg, but i live in southern california now

That's some quality ink Madakira. It looks a heckuva lot better than Leben's grungy back spread

So Pride's second US event is right around the corner, and I'm feeling the need to repent of my 'lack of comprehensive prediction' ways. CC has been holding the fort all by himself in that regard lately, so between that and Randy's homecomming, I'm jumping back on the wagon

sounds good OBE, ill be looking forward to your predicts on the PRIDE and UFC upcoming cards, even though both cards are like 95% one-sided fights

 

[madakira]

Thanks OBE. I am going to miss the Pride event this sat. The card has a lot of good fighters on it. I was looking foward to Shogun/Overeem. I don't even know why Nog is fighting some nobody, but oh well.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i dont understand why PRIDE has to have pointless fights like some of fights on this card, when the fights are one sided like this it justs makes the org looking kinda amateurish...i hate to say it, but kinda like a UFC fight night

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Most of the UFC UK card has been announced, if your a brit i highly reccomend you go, the matches confirmed so far are:

Andrei Arlovski vs Fabricio Werdum (yes UFC got Werdum)
Mirko Cro Cop vs Gabriel Gonzaga
Michael Bisping vs Elvis Sinosic
Forrest Griffin vs Ryoto Machida

Its damn good that Andrei and Forrest are getting legitamite fighters rather than easy wins, after these fights it'll be alot easier to see where these guys stand.

 

[madakira]

I hope Machida beats Forrest. I like them both, but i want to see Machida win.

 

[fallen]

looks like a pretty good card. Only one week left CC

 

[JS316]

Thanx for the update CC... Werdrum is world class... this is great news for the UFC.. I agree with Madakira, I hiope Michada wins too.

 

[Paulie]

Was his name Royce Gracie, or Hoyce Gracie.... I saw Serb called him Royce somewhere, but im pretty sure his name was Hoyce

 

[CaptainCharisma]

its Royce, but its pronounced Hoyce, all Brazillian names that have an "R" are pronounced as a "H"

 

[shorty]
