It's only been a month since Brown vs Lawler but we went an entire month with barely any significant fun fights and it feels so good to finally have A Jacare match, Overeem match, Hunt match, Gomi match and Cerrone match all in one month. We made it.

There must be some statistics out there showing the increase in injuries and failing weight cute since the UFC started raising their steroid testing, but it's hard to tell when and what's tests they started doing as they don't seem to be very open with it

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst mark hunt's track record for getting kicked in the head by cro cop is to either shrug it off or go down on his rear end for a second before immediately getting up. manhoef is a complete freak. e:

manhoef hits like a truck, mark hunt lept face first into a shot with his eyes closed, and hunt no longer fights like that. hunt's chin seems to no longer be invincible, but his defense is very very good. i believe

I'd like to see Leites fight Jacare. It is also interesting to contemplate what it would look like to put Leites 2014 up against Silva 2009.

Fighters in the same weight class calling out Bisping is old hat. I mean, even Urijah Faber has called out DJ MikeyB I yearn for the day when a female fighter throws out the Bisping jab.

Before Touchy Fili pulled out, I was at least partially excited for every fight on Friday's card. Middleweight Ronaldo Souza vs. Gegard Mousasi Heavyweight Alistair Overeem vs. Ben Rothwell Heavyweight Matt Mitrione vs. Derrick Lewis Lightweight Joe Lauzon vs. Michael Chiesa Featherweight Nik Lentz vs. Charles Oliveira Flyweight John Moraga vs. Justin Scoggins Lightweight Al Iaquinta vs. Rodrigo Damm Middleweight Rafael Natal vs. Chris Camozzi Bantamweight Tateki Matsuda vs. Chris Beal Featherweight Sean Soriano vs. Chas Skelly I can't believe they didn't pull any of these fights off for the PPV the other night. Other than the lowest fight, every fight has the potential to be either funny as gently caress or a really good fight (Iaquinta/Damm may be bad but we'll at least get to hear Serra screaming). Part of me knows though that whenever a card looks really good it usually ends up being poo poo and vice versa.
