I've seen that movie twice and I have still yet to see her.

She has the personality of a gold fish.

I'm not like a huge fan of her but what do you mean by the whole goldfish personality thing?

When you look at her face, you will see about as much brain activity as a fish.

She's dry. Unfunny. Stupid. And really, not that good looking...

Randy Couture vs. Brendon Vera at UFC 105.

Well yeah, she's not all-time or anything, but she is hot. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, and I doubt you would either.

She's really good looking in her own way... I dunno... A real way. Definitely wouldn't say no.

And Randy vs Vera is kind of a joke, IMO. It doesn't really do much for Randy if he wins, and if he loses it makes Vera look really good. I think Randy will end up being too much for Vera, but in my fanboyism I do happen to pick Randy regardless of the situation.

UFC 103 this weekend, picks?

I will probably pick Franklin, but I don't know. Have never seen Belfort fight that much.

Going with Dos Santos, but something tells me I shouldn't.

Picking Griffin for sure, Franca is done IMO.

Kampmann over Daley, but like the Cro-Cop fight something tells me I am wrong.

anybody elses insight? Should I change a pick? What about the other fights?

Anybody watch Figh Night last night? I'm not a Diaz fan, but it was nice to see him beat that cocky Guillard. Plus the Maynard/Huerta fight was great. Missed the first coupld of fights because of work.

then... TUF10, anybody watch that? That Abe guy got his ass handed to him. Nice to see Rampage storm off like that.

yo Evil Dead mafucker, where you at? I can't go into a fight night without hearing your picks.

I give Kos the win, no question.
Franklin / Belfort... I gotta give it to Ace; Belfort's been out of the loop a while.
Mirko is coming off a couple of straight losses and he doesn't look anywhere near the force he used to... JDS is hungry and has some serious striking power. But if Mirko gets that left leg up there, who knows? And he did at one time go the distance with Fedor... this is the main attraction for me.
Don't know much about Griffin, so, I can't say.


Missed TUF, but of course caught Fight Night... Nate is funny; staring down at Clairox poster boy Guillard with over the top tough-guy scowl. His strategy seems to be: take a beating until finding an opening for a sub... he's entertaining as hell, though.
Neer owned Guillard, too. That was a bloodfest, though all the leakage was from Neer. I could have swore that I saw panic in bleach-boy's eyes when he saw that the bloodloss was having not the slightest effect on Neer. Love him or hate him, Neer is a hard bastard.
Huerta lost, but he (IMO) looked a lot more focused and sharper with his striking...unfortunately for him, he has no ground game at all. At least from what I have seen.

Oh, and Rampage is a douche.
I pity da fool.

I'll give my picks but I'm not feeling like Nostradamus on this one, so I'd stick with your guns Dev. Since I always write a mini novel I'll just post my picks and then my thoughts. lol

Rich Franklin over Vitor

What really gets me on this card is how many people are landsliding for Vitor. From fans to the pros themselves, people seem to be writing off Franklin who is an extremely durable and well rounded fighter. Vitor is a fader, always has been, always will be, and if the fight doesn't go his way, expect Rich to cruise to a decision or TKO.

Cro Cop over Dos Santos

I think Cro Cop is going to come in tonight and do some work. Dos Santos is slightly larger than CC but I don't think it's going to be an issue like say in the Cro Cop/Kongo fight... Still... Mirko has been treading on thin ice, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dos Santos V.

Kampmann over Daley

I think Kampmann takes Daley. Daley took the fight on a bit of short notice, as it was supposed to be Mike Swick fighting... And while Daley is a durable striker, his ground game is fairly questionable and as long as Kampmann has a good game plan, he should take the fight. Look out for Daley in the future, though.

Koscheck over Trigg

Frank Trigg is probably one of my favorite commentators, but as a fighter he's kinda back and forth and he's basically going up against a younger and better version of himself in Josh Koscheck. However, Trigg is a smart fighter and analyst, so if he comes up with the proper game plan, he could win this fight... I just don't see it happening, though.

Griffin over Franca

I just really don't see how Griffin is going to lose this. I don't really like him that much, but he's an extremely strong fighter with a lot of heart, and he has way more skills than Franca. Unless Franca locks up some kinda sub, or maybe lands his sloppy right haymaker, he's going to lose.

That's the main card, don't really have much to say about the undercard other than I hope that Vlady the Janitor wins.

my picks are pretty much the same as yours, but I am going with Dos Santos over Cro-Cop. Cro-Cop just hasn't been able to put it together in the UFC. Dos Santos is bigger, stronger, younger, and hungrier, therefore getting my pick. I like Cro-Cop, so I wont be too dissapointed if he wins, but I am picking and cheering for Junior.

Another bad night of picks for me. I can't believe the " old " Vitor showed up. Ridiculous. Franklin is extremely durable, I'm very shocked that Vitor was just able to overwhelm him like that.

Daley beating Kampmann was a bit of a shock too, but grats to the guy for overcoming on short notice.

For you hardcore MMA fans, some of you sure don't know a lot about very well-known fighters.

Explain.

yes we don't know shit because we had an off night of picks. negro please

Considering all the variables in MMA it's nearly impossible to make perfect picks. Even the best fighter in the world can be surprised. This isn't boxing.

I felt very dissapointed with the whole thing.
Highlight was watching Hermes Franca's lavender Gorgeous George-like locks get bounced off of the canvas.
The Story / Foster fight was pretty entertaining, as well, but overall the event left me feeling slightly short-changed.

I wasn't talking about picks; I was talking about the complete lack of real MMA knowledge.

Do elaborate, please.
