tom b: let him have this fight then put him in with nate diaz to settle that TUF beef they had going.

StuDog: Rampage is a one-dimensional thug who doesn’t push himself to be well-rounded like today’s elite fighters do. Machida just...

LaM: Excellent article. It was well written and thought provoking. Thank you sir StuDog: I sincerely hope GSP knocks this POS back to Edinboro. Though that would be kind of bad, since I like Edinboro. It’s not as nice as...

Doc, how do you think he will do considering the fact that most of the IFL fighters that have gone to other promotions have failed to do much at all?
Well, Hieron is very experienced fighter include several fights in the UFC a few years back. There isn’t much out there for welterweights other than the UFC or EliteXC so he should be good.
What best for he is stay…
wow did everyone forget about this site or something, or is there just nothing to talk about? there has been like zero activity here for a few days now.
Ya i noticed that too RJ, it IS a slow period, but still, its been like a ghost town. Another thing i noticed was that the P4P thing has so many votes, but nobody stops to drop a comment about it.
yeah i think there is a bunch of readers around who just dont post at all. its probably because a lot of other sites you get horribly flamed for saying just about anything and people dont like to feel dumb so they just dont bother.
Ya that could be it RJ, though were not as bad as most sites out there. It sucks when theres no MMA on, this is the longest no-mma period i remember in a long time.. Now im remembering what it was like in the old days, we always had to wait 3-4 weeks between events.
On the other hand, starting around Sept 6 until oct 4, theres something like 12 events happening lol. Cant wait till MMA comes back.. sigh..
man i remember about 5 years ago when i would sit and wait for like 3 or 4 months for the next UFC card and half the time i didnt know who was fighting until that night lol oh how the internet has spoiled us lol. before i realized that there was websites like this out there i was starting to think i was the only MMA fan left in Canada lol i remember my friend handing me a beat up VHS tape of UFC 19 one time and he was acting like it was a bag of weed lol at that time it was still a bit taboo around here and only those with blood lust would dare watch such brutality lol.
I still been readin alot of stuff, you hear about Nate Quarry getting his orbital bone broken by a golf club? dam, how could he let that happen man?
i never heard about that, that guy has some sh*t luck eh?
