What? You wouldn't want to go a whole two weeks' worth of cards without knowing who's going to win, would you? 😉

I'm glad Hazelett is finally back after his knee injury, but he has a tough fight for his return.

Pearson/Riley ~ Pearson dec.
Wilks/Brown ~ Brown TKO
Kang/Bisping ~ Kang dec.

I'm glad Hazelett is finally back after his knee injury, but he has a tough fight for his return.

This should make for a great grappling bout.Karo by judo superiority.

106

Parisyan/Hazelett ~ Karo dec.
Nogueira/Cane ~ Lil Nog submission
Baroni/Sadollah ~ Baroni TKO
Johnson/Koscheck ~ Koscheck dec.
Ortiz/Griffin ~ Ortiz dec.

I am looking forward to see Minotoro make his debut. 🙂

Although Parisyan is no joke, I don't like him. each time he loses, he looks for excuses that suck as much as his singing ("'I've beat myself", "The judges robbed me", "The referee stopped the fight too soon").

It's unfortunate that Karo seems to struggle mentally because he is so talented.Even with all of the judo gold medalists that have competed in mma,I have yet to see someone with better throws than Karo.I'm always excited to see him fight just for that reason.

 

[Liu Kang]

In my eyes, Ross Pearson was the most impressive tonight.

And I would like to see more of Gustafsson.

 

[Snail Shell]

3/5 tonight. 52/71 on the year.

Not impressed with anyone really tonight. Ah well. 😛

See you next Saturday!

I'll start off by saying Randy looked awful.Maybe it was the weight cut but he looked slow,no upper movement when striking and quite frankly looked better at HW.I am curious to hear if possibly he had an injury or illness going into the fight.

I missed the first two fights so I can't comment on them but I was most impressed with Bisping.He looked good off his back and looked to have improved his wrestling with a couple nice takedowns.Watching him tonight makes you realize how good Dan Henderson because he straight melted Bisping.

What are everyones thoughts on the epic St. Pierre/Hardy battle that lies ahead?This fight doesn't appeal to me one bit,other than seeing GSP showcase his skills.GSP is gonna steamroll Hardy.

If you were to take a new viewer of mma and show them this UFC event and last weekends Strikeforce which do you think they would choose as more entertaining?

 

[Raphael Sorel]

GSP will probably follow the same gameplan he used against Thiago Alves. I like Hardy, but if he manages to beat GSP, the upset would be even bigger than Serra's win.

 

[Bizkit]

From what I saw,this card turned out to be really good.I haven't seen the main event yet but I'm trying to find a clip of it somewhere.

Those guys from hammerhouse must not focus much on cardio.If Phil Baroni could develop some stamina he might actually become a b level WW.It's a shame to see a guy with natural gifts like punching power and a good chin be able to do nothing with them.

How about Minotoro tearing Cane up?He looked like a world beater in his debut.With his performance and Shoguns last performance can you imagine that potential rematch?.OMG.Especially if Shogun wins the title and we could see a 5 rounder.

 

[Abel14]

And Parysian gave me another reason to dislike him.
