I am legit upset by this so I'm going to repeat it, because it's not fair that Rich Franklin had to have his last MMA fight and lose so terribly to a roided out freak:DumbWhiteGuy posted:Cung Le is a piece of poo poo and deserves to die.

(me, looking at Cung Le the 56 year old movie stuntman with more muscles than a fisherman's market) The real deal is Cung Le, Joe. COOOOOOOOMING UP NEXT: A mixed martial artist hailing from Vermont, the five and one David Borttles looks to add another win to his YOU EFF CEEE resume.

If Weidman actually wrote that under a picture of Silva it's adorable.

Holy poo poo Velasquez is a tiny heavyweight. I always knew he was smaller, but Ryan Bader makes him look like a middleweight

Think Akiyama might get popped next. He looked absolutely ridiculous. This pic doesn't even do it justice. I wish I looked like that now never mind forty

I know it's still months away but I was just thinking about how Overeem is gonna win the PSP MMA award for most overhyped/underperformed two years in a row.

I looked through the rankings to see who else could be a contender for that award and there really is no one else. Fighter of the year would have to be Cerrone. Although a case could be made for TJ as he fought three times and won the belt against a very good champion very convincingly. Obviously the true PsP Fighter of the Year is the guy who could, by the end of the month, be five from five.

It has to be TJ at this point, went from Urijah Faber's little buddy to dominant looking champion in less then a year.

His other two fights this year were against Mike Easton, who has been released, and Joe Soto. Think it has to be Cerrone who fought Eddie Alvarez, Jim Miller, Edson Barboza and Adriano Martins in which the latter three all got OTN bonuses and the Alvarez fight probably would have been on most other cards.

No one thought TJ had a chance against Barao, this isn't even a Weidman level "people in the know say he's the biggest chance". TJ was a replacement fight and was seen as lesser to Urijah at bantamweight, that he's the champion and convincingly so is mind boggling. Mighty Mouse may have to settle to be perenniel #2 fighter of the year (should've won last year, but Weidmania ran wild)

Of course, I also thought he'd win with a more wrestley gameplan, so yeah, idiot.
