I can't tell if Tavares has really good takedown defense or Nate is just that bad at takedowns.

Brad has a big strength advantage. And the attempts weren't great.

We're all doomed
Joe Silva thought putting a shot Nate Marquardt and a dude with 8 decisions in 10 fights third from the top on a big card was a good idea

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.




A more impressive ground game.

Didn't Tavares have the best TD defense in middleweight history at some point? (I remember JR and Goldy chatting about it at some point during a Silva fight)

Marquardt is still something of a name. It shows the UFC is really, really thin on the star power.

One of the funniest posters in GIP.

Just not intentionally.
Man, that was disappointing, Nate. Hopefully Jury wrecks Cerrone.

Bummer. Mine isn't interested either, but she did watch the whole Ravens game with me. She will probably watch the Bengals game too, for Dalton nonsense. :unsmith:

This one has potential for some good old ultraviolence.Not just Cerrone but Jury was winning in good and proper form.

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
I'm always surprised that Myles Jury is in the top 10.
