wow did you guys see that sanchez fight?!? it was amazing!!!! sanchez did a spinning backhand and the dude was out cold! 36 sec into the first round!!!!
I don't know why Sanchez has gone away from taking down his opponents and G&P'ing them to death. He should not try to stand up exclusively.
Sanchez is fucking nuts, man. Did you see him coming out to the octagon? The chanting nonsense? He surrounds himself with loons and he fights like its a points karate match. I'm not sure what his deal is but he'd better come out stronger in his next match. I'm not sure who the UFC puts him against next... it seems a fight with Sherk would be a carbon copy of the fight with Stevenson. Who else is there? Also, Joe Stevenson looked like hell. His antics trying to get the crowd fired up reminded me of a desperate Chris Leben. If you're losing a fight, firing up the crowd should be the last thing on your mind.
Pick'em Picks results. Top score goes to DaRizzle who not only picked Paulo Thiago for the super duper upset, but he top locked that fight.. gutsy call. If you laid $100 down on that fight you'd have over $500 coming back to you. Now lets see if you can show up and do it again 1. DaRizzle - 89pts 8-2 2. Speeds - 84pts 7-3 3. Celtic Fan - 84pts 7-3 4. yankshater213 - 78pts 7-3 5. Black Mamba - 77 pts 6-4 6. Chocolove - 59pts 6-4 (not the winning picks this time )
lol...you know how I made my picks? I looked at their record and a face pic of each fighter. That was my awesome research! You know how I ranked 1-10? Totally random. I had no idea Thiago was a huge underdog... ...but yeah.....I rule
Heh, reminds me of Mrs. Happen, who picks based on the way the names sound. [video=youtube;WBwjZCaTJqw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBwjZCaTJqw[/video]
