December 31st, 2007

It’s really amazing to see the size difference between Fedor and Choi. Hong Man Choi is such a huge physical presence, it’s neat to watch. Not that he brings much competition for Fedor.

I know some of you either watched the Yarennoka even live this morning on HDNet and many of you are planning on watching it later on one of the many HDNet replays, so I won’t spoil the results for you. Then again, I know there are plenty of you who don’t have HDNet (such [...]

UFC 79: Nemesis Recap

December 30th, 2007

Now that UFC 79 is over, I think we all are feeling a bit of emotional drain after all the hype and buildup leading up to the main event fights. Overall, UFC 79 was an excellent fight card with the exception of the Sanchez - Palelei fight, which had no business ever being on [...]
