Yup, looking forward to the fights. It is snowing like a mofo so my plans to watch this at a bar with a few friends are shot. Oh well, some pizza in one hand a soda in the other and mmaforreal on the comp is almost as good.

Whats funny about Miller
is that he is telling Dana about athletes having higher standards, but then he takes pictures with Tracy Lee along with 1 or 2 porn stars.
Come on Dude!!

I dont know
Im glad he beat Junie, but I think I picked against him tonight. Him amd Lauzon were talking shit at the weigh ins
@fjbar75 on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
Im pretty sure I picked both Lauzons in the points game
Not sure in the money game if I picked either. I just hope my parlay hits.

Rashad Evans got his Black Belt in BJJ today from Rolles Gracie

In regards to defending subs…he probably does have blackbelt level..

Yeah, I just always have to question these guys that they always say have this amazing BJJ but you never see them use it. You know me, I’m quite the cynical skeptic. Can’t help it. But of course I realize that Rashad is in fact an amazing wrestler so maybe he is that good.
Dana trying to justify the 44.95
On paper it’s not worth it.

Yep, I was trying to get my friends together to chip in and buy this PPV tonight, and they since they are a bit more casual fans than me they were like “Who’s fighting?” I don’t think they knew anybody other than Rashad (and we all loathe him) so they were like, “Yeah maybe the next show.”
Stupid winter, just got the power back on and I missed half the damn fights. Screw you snow

I'm so excited about Gomi coming to UFC
There will be some great folks they can match him up against. But not BJ. BJ would murder him at this point in their careers. Just my opinion.
I got Lauzon in this one
but I’m scared that long layoff after the injury gonna cost me…

Gomi would spend the entire fight on his back. Better to pair him up with shitty striker.

Why in the world would you put Daley in your parlay? I’m not saying he’s not going to win (I actually said that below) but out of all of the fighters to put into your parlay, you put one with zero ground game who is fighting one of the best ground fighters in his division.

Early KO
Plus its only for the betting game on PLayground, not real cash
@fjbar75 on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
This fight is the prefect illustration of potential problems that running your mouth can cause. Daley would have KO’d Condit but now he’s going to be put to sleep.
