This is actually a pretty good card, about on the level of the two or three best Bellator cards for comparison's sake
It’ll be interesting to get my first actual look at Rhadi Ferguson. I wonder if Kimbo will be in his corner?
I hate to be "That Guy", but Edgar/Maynard II wasn’t close to the best fight I’ve ever seen…

Why would you waste a corner spot on Kimbo Slice

I don’t get the free Showtime weekend here, so I’m watching this on a really horrible stream right now.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
My cable company doesn’t do it, either, but I have a Slingbox hooked up at Neil’s house so I’m watching via that.
How far away will a Slingbox work? I thought you had to live like next door to someone for that to work?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
10-8 for Rhadi, with the point deduction.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Oh Yeah
I am glad that I didn’t pay attention to the commentary (or the dumb ref, for that matter) for most of the fight as I made and then ate a sandwich.
I did enjoy the Dr.’s dance after the fight, though.
Oh yeah, and I’m glad that for some reason, I’ve had Showtime at home (for free!) for like the past 6 months even though I (nor anyone in my family) ever asked for it. It’s never been fixed, so what they don’t know won’t hurt them, I say.

What kind of sandwich?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Ha
It was actually made with bread from a loaf of bread. It was turkey, cheese, and lettuce.

Man, Rhadi looked God awful with a last minute replacement. There goes his hype train.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Tell that to Luke Thomas.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Luke Thomas was drivin that hype train. I never even heard of the dude until Luke started postin stuff on BE about how awesome Rhadi was supposed to be.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Rhadi was going to fight MMA for forever and never did it

That "homeless" radio voice dude has a twitter account now.
Oh my.
@fjbar on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
Nunes is an attractive young lady.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Well
She appears to be fine, so I guess it’s OK to say this, but lol to Julia Budd and her alleged Strikeforce push to Cris Cyborg. It sucks to be her.
Anyone who saw Julia Budd should've seen this coming
by Forrest Lynn on Jan 7, 2011 11:32 PM EST up reply actions
Well, I Didn't
I never saw her first fight, so I had no idea what to expect.
Now, I know not to pay too much attention to her in the future.

Nunes might actually be able to fight back against Cris Cyborg. She’ll still lose though.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
You don’t think she’ll be able to put up a fight with Cyborg, or do you think she beats Cyborb?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
I’m pretty sure Showtime picks the music, not the fighters.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Devin Cole – ain’t this the dude that got brought up on sex charges?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Yes. Also -1000 to DC for coming out to Drop the World

What’s it with C level MMA fighters and gettin brought up on sex charges?
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Yeah
In this specific example, Cole’s tattoos… personally, tribal tattoos are pretty weak and lame! Now that I’d say it to Devin’s face, but…

Looks like he’s just havin fun out there.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Are you saying that Cormier is like Brett Favre?
I know, I know, that’s a horrible person to bring up in this thread, but that’s what popped into my head with that phrase.

Oh Boy
What did he do now?
I don’t have a laptop (I know, I should get in the 21st century, right?) so the computer and TV with Showtime are in different rooms. I shudder to think what he just did or said!
by Blair Russell on Jan 8, 2011 12:01 AM EST up reply actions
He said Devin Cole won the fight.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Oh Wait
From a random Twitter account I found while searching on there:
“Mauro announces the wrong guy as the winner. That’s why he makes the big bucks. It’s also why people took his lunch money in high school.”
Sick burn.
Thank God there’s only two fights left. I can’t handel much more of these fools.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
Well
The announcers are TRBL, but I’ve actually enjoyed all the fights.
The first and third ones I liked all the ground grappling. Not to sound like Joe Rogan here, but that’s just my opinion.

You Know
The referee in that OSP vs. Benji Radach fight looks like a long-lost Von Erich relative!
Good thing that Eveezy isn’t around so that he won’t get mad at my pro wrestling reference there.
“Fedor’s coming to Strikeforce, I’m thrilled about that.” – Quadros, acting like Fedor has never fought for Strikeforce before.
This ref is bad.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
You can tell OSP kinda knows what he’s supposed to do, but he doesn’t have the knowledge of the techniques to back it up. Someone needs to kidnap this dude and take him to a real MMA camp.
"Everytime I start talking about boxing, a white man gotta pull Rocky Marciano out of their ass!"
LOL
From Twitter:

Between rounds, the ref warns St. Preux and Humphrey he was going to stand them up from their stools if they didn’t drink water faster.
There’s your next opponent for King Mo.
