im w/ you on that one, thats the fight I've been looking forward to since they announced it.

I think Lesnar vs 'reem will be a great fight but Diaz v Cerrone will be insane

I'm with you, but I can't see Nate winning this. Cerrone's been on at WAR since coming to the UFC

Cerrone has been a on absolute TEAR since joining the ufc. If he wins this, I highly expect him to get a shot at the title.

Overeem vs Lesnar I'm praying will be a stand and bang affair but I just don't see it happening. We haven't see a Overeem guallatine in a while, perhaps that's a possibility as well?

[BMW86]

Watched Countdown today and I'm pumped!

I'm a Diaz brothers fan but think Cerrone takes this one he's got too much momentum right now and he looks confident.

[escobar929]

what makes the Diaz v Cerrone fight so interesting, is Cerrone has sick jits, enough to defend Nates much better jits but on the feet its the other way around. Cerrone has sick kicks and combos but Nate has solid boxing and an iron chin

hard to say who will win but if I had to put money, it will be on Cowboy. Ever since loosing to Bendo in the WEC, he's been wrecking dudes. Specially as of late, he hasnt been holding back anymore. Scary dude dude for anyone at 155

I was also thinking Overeem might win by guillotine, since most wrestlers tend to fall for them

Fuck, 'Reem must be using some Olympic caliber shit in order to pass the drug test.

lol too funny. what matchup interested u more, overeem vs lesnar or mir vs lesnar 3?

[san~man]

Definitely 'Reem. Im hoping he punts Brock into retirement with a ktfo and not a sub

I'm more looking forward to the Cerrone fight. I'm betting on the cowboy shutting up 1/2 of the diaz's big mouths.

[BMW86]

My prediction is Reem KO Round 1 or Round 2. I'll be surprised if it goes past the 1st round though.

[san~man]

Shit, prelims on now, thought the fight was tomorrow night lol

[san~man]

FUCK Diaz won

[san~man]

Reem by liver kick and tko.

[RnmEvo9]

That Fitch fight was hilarious. I never saw that coming! LOL

[Motif]

Perhaps now Fitch will quit crying and actually starts fighting. Talented guy but does nothing aside from dry humping people to UD (must have learned it from GSP).

I wish Brock well. I am not his fan but i am not against him either. Reem was a better man yesterday

On a lighter note...Fedor won again

[BMW86]

Epic card. Few surprises in there with Phan losing and the Fitch KO.

Diaz fight was awesome. I couldn't stop laughing when he was giving Cerrone the finger at the start of round 3

Reem fight went down just like I envisioned. Can't wait to see him fight JDS.

[Garduna]

I was so surprised that cowboy didn't do more leg kicks, push kicks and move angles. now both diaz won't shut up -_-;

Ubereem is BACK! Them heavy knees and that liver kick. Picture perfect. Brock go byebye. I wonder if he'd go back to pro wrestling...

Fitch went from top3 to just barely scratching top10 with just that one punch xD

Dana made a statement that Brock will still be under contract meaning he can't go to WWE or anywhere else until his contract expires.

[escobar929]

Last week I thought Brock could pull it off using his wrestling and Overeem could only win by sub but after the weigh-in, I was 100% sure Overeem would win. He hasnt looked that good in years, he looked kinda fat in his last fight and he looked slow. For this fight it was the completely opposite, he hasnt looked this good (shape wise) since he was fighting in Pride at 205. Brock on the other hand, looked slow and out of it. Glad he is retiring, those surgeries that a lot out of you, dont want to see him seriously hurt

I was shocked the Diaz v Cowboy went down the way it did. great job by Diaz to keep Cowboy fighting out of his back foot and he was never able to adjust. I knew Nate's boxing was good but on friday, it was spectacular

Thank god for guys like Hendrix and Ellenberger, they took out the 2 most boring fighters in the division. Now Fitch can quit bitching about not getting respect, he went from top 2 to prob not being in the top 10

This weekend's picks.

This card puts me a weird position about my picks because I like Scarface and Mendes both so i don't know quite for to vote for. Scarface been around for a while but Chad is fresh and exciting fighter. I believe Aldo will retain his title but we will see

I been a HUGE fan of Pastor Vitor since '03 and i personally met Rumble last June, he is a super nice dude. I will take Vitor via punches by the bunches.

I hope gonzaga get TKO'd as always.

[escobar929]

I like Vitor as well, Rumble Johnson is cool guy and I generally cheer for him but I've been a Vitor fan for way longer, but this is a close fight, wouldnt be surprised if Johnson wins.

I think Aldo wins also, Mendez is a great wrestler but the only people to survive w/ Aldo have had close to elite striking and Mendez is still far from that. Aldo's take down defense has looked pretty good (sans gasing out in the Hominick fight) and w/ help from Maynard, it should be even better.

Palhares should win also, unless he has another mental relapse. Very excited to see Erick Silva again, looked fantastic in his last fight

Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim is going to be amazing, flip a coin on this one

and yea, poor Gonzaga will prob end up getting KOed again, Oliveira has nasty power and is a pretty big dude

[BMW86]

Just watched Countdown. This card is going to be sweet

You are right, Aldo should be better this time around. Palhares is a Bradley machine with biceps, he is super tough physically. I been anti-gonzaga since the Mirko fight, and almost kissed the TV when Carwin turned his lights off. Vitor has been somewhat inconsistent lately, one day he is good but sucks on the other. My heart stopped for a few seconds once Silva dropped him last feb, i had high hopes for him
