Preliminary Bouts (On Spike TV):

-Rory MacDonald (10-1) vs. Matt Brown (11-9) Maybe out on a limb here. MacDonald looked great in his loss to Condit.

Post your picks bossman! Props ahead of time for going with Rampage.

Im too big of a Rampge fan to bet againast him although I couldn't hand pick a worse fight for him stylistically. I think a Rampage v Rashad 2 is inevitable. Im also not redy to give up on BJ yet. Outside of that I have no intrest in the card except satorolopus--- he is going to be a big star in the UFC one day.

Alright. How many drinks did you consume prior to utilizing the bold feature?

This is going to be a blood bath. You should win this card easily. The only pick I have confidence in is Sotiropoulos.

Wow, one of the shittiest cards ever...

George Whorewell · « **Reply #7 on:** November 20, 2010, 08:25:46 PM »

I can't believe Harris hasn't fainted, tapped, or been TKO'd going into the third. Gutsy performance, but hard to watch.

George Whorewell · « **Reply #8 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:06:31 PM »

WOW--- Rampage comes out to the theme from Pride lololololol

I hope he doesn't embarass himself-- He looks focused, is in shape, did his camp in the USA; Lets see how it goes

Rampage wins--- thats a clean sweep for me biotch

I thought Machida had it, i think Rampage did too!

George Whorewell · « **Reply #11 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:36:32 PM »

The thing is, Machida clearly won round 3-- but I had Rampage winning rounds 1 and 2 by a girl hair.

If its a 10 point must system, then Rampage has to win. But it didnt feel like a win-- I think they are going to have an immediate rematch anyway.

K-1 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:37:36 PM »

funny thing about this fight...as soon as it began..I was thinking if machida keeps staying out of harms way like he did ....he'd lose.

I guess judges felt that way. It's almost like he was too patient. this aint a 5 rounder man. You gotta go get it ( and risk getting ko'd)

MindSpin · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:39:57 PM »

That was a BS decision. I think Machida got robbed.

Happy for BJ :-)

clean sweep? WhT about Harris and boetch big mouth??

George Whorewell · « **Reply #15 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:45:30 PM »

who gives a shit about those two garbage card fights?

I won both main events and the first fight on the card. Jones and Bader early next year got announced! Remtach?

George Whorewell · « **Reply #16 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:48:11 PM »

And Machida didn't get robbed. It was either going to be a draw or a Rampage win-- He won the first two rounds-- and unless round 3 was a 10-8 decisive beatdown, you have to give Rampage the decision. I think they both scored one takedown- Rampage was 100x times more agressive and despite having a full mount in round 3, Rampage stood up and charged forward again. The rematch will be exciting to watch. First I want to see him fight Rashad again and knock him the fuck out to avenge their first fight where he showed up in camp 60lbs overweight.

Why are you commenting on a subject you obviously know nothing about? Stick to commentary on gay speed dating.

They need to make all main events 5 round fights.

Just my 2 cents.

Honest to god I walked to my fridge, walked back and BJ was already running out of the octagon like a lunatic. I thought he would win, but a 20 second knock out? I was shocked.

I agree. I can't count how many times I felt gypped for ordering a fight where it ended in 3 rounds with a 29-28 or split decision result and it was blatantly obvious that with 1 or 2 more rounds there would have been a totally different outcome. Last night is the perfect example. I think Machida probably would have subbed or tko'd Rampage if he had another round. Same goes for Rashad Rampage- Rashad - Silva, and at least a dozen other fights I can think of.

At the same time though, having 5 round main events would lead to guys conserving energy a lot more and would likely produce more boring, lay and pray, tic tac and run away pillow fights so they could win on points.
