I really want to see Fabio/Rampage even though I expect Rampage to spend most of it trying to pin Fabio against the cage.

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.
The last time Rampage sounded this amped for a fight he came in six pounds over.

Did rampage get hit in the head by consecutive coconuts? He's less glib than ever

Also his toon shirt looks more like it's for Anthony Johnson

His face is looking more like Rumble's too. I assume this means he's fat.

Oh, was that the thing where the initial "reporting" from various folks on twitter suggested it had been intentional after she was bullied in her gym for being on TUF or something and everyone jumped on it? How did that ever turn out? I kinda feel like I recall the injured fighter defending her gym in that case.

That was the best example of a tune-up fight that I've ever seen.

I also missed much of the Guida fight because exciting things were happening in EVE. I saw some slams which were pretty cool.

I think this girl who got effortlessly hip tossed in the first seconds of a fight against someone who appears to have never trained grappling , will be a good matchup for Rousey

http://espn.go.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/21962/pena-on-rough-2014-drawing-rouseys-attention

quote:

Pena has not fought since November 2013, when she became the female winner of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series. Her 2014 was mostly defined, at least in the headlines, by a phone call she made to UFC president Dana White, shortly after blowing her knee out during grappling practice in Spokane, Wash.

Pena, 25, maintains she accurately described to White what happened in the gym that day, but details were lost in the hysteria of the moment.

"I think my first mistake was calling up Dana White and screaming blood-curdling screams while I was on my way to the hospital," Pena told ESPN.com. "That's where I made my first mistake."

Long story short, White publicly called the incident an "attack," which sparked a media swarm.

"The story got so exaggerated. Everybody was like, 'Her career is over,' " Pena said. "My gym got dragged under the bus. Everybody hated me. And on top of all that, I still had four torn ligaments in my knee."

So it kinda sounds like she was really upset in the immediate aftermath of the incident, called Dana, and then he blew it out of proportion even more. It sounds like she's still with the same club so I guessed they patched it up.

You heard correctly. She thinks that she should be the champ by now, but by no means called out the champ and rather said "I'll fight whoever"

Wasn't Dana saying a guy jumped her and intentionally injured her because she was wearing a TUF shirt or something?
