Since my dark horse picks always get royally screwed, I'm playing it safe and going with Aoki in the GP. Seeing Mirko pick up a can fight is unfortunate, but hopefully that'll either turn around soon or build his confidence back up. Seeing as how the UFC is extremely eager to have him back (which is odd for them), I really hope CroCop can shake the cobwebs loose and return to mainstream America as the fighter that he really is.

Here's an interesting article on Fedor and M-1(I totally called this):

Now I'm a fan of Fedor, but some extremely valid and interesting points are brought up. He needs to just sign a short (two or so) fight deal with the UFC and increase his play with them; I'm sure they'll let him compete in Combat Sambo if he shows he's willing to work to make the company better.

^^NC between our 2 picks.. someone's gotta go through though

 

[onebigeric]

^^No doubt. Looks like I'm back to picking no one that I care about, seeing as how I jinx my picks into dupe losses and weird calls.

If I were to give the nod to one of the two, it would be to Aoki; he didn't throw the strike that led to the NC

 

[JS316]

^^ Any news on who is going through to the next round?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

knowing the japanese no one will have a clue till a couple of days before the event

 

[JS316]

^^ yo your sig doesn't make sense if he's talking about Serra unless he plans on losing.

Anyway... just watched some of UFN. Nate Diaz was awesome. Celebrating in the middle of a triangle was some cool shit.... also James Irvins superman punch was sick. Good bye Houston from the UFC.

i dont understand what about....

"i have one job, and my job will be to destroy him. if he wanna revenge i'll fight him 10 time in a row and it gonna be the same exact result"

what part is unclear?

 

[JS316]

my bad.. i read the last 'gonna be the exact same result' as same result as last time they fought...

Imagine if GSP loses... what does he do then?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

he becomes the rich franklin of the 170 division i guess, i mean he can beat pretty much everyone in the division but wouldnt be able to get a shot until serra lost the belt, but im hoping that wont be the case...i wanna see him do a matt hughes style tear through the division

July 19th... Timmy is Raped...!!!!!!!!

Awesome, can't wait!

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i hope tim wins...it would be hilarious if timmah was the one with the style to beat fedor

 

[JS316]

^^^ No way in hell brah, Semmy Schilt got owned and he is the best stand up guy in the world and has a ground game. He's probably taller then Tim too with the same reach..
suppose anything can happen

I can't wait for the Penn/Sherk fight. Those two do not like one another. It will be a dirty fight.

[Kanav]

I hope fedor mauls timmy

St. Pierre getting his revenge and giving his fans what they want!!

 

[JS316]

^He was outstanding.

I would love GSP vs BJ Penn II. Both guys are too good for their weight classes.
Thought K Florian did a great job commentating too.

 

[JS316]

Special mention must go to Nate Quarry's speech quoting Rocky 4.... sooo funny!!!
