[Mamba]

I met the red headed, Team Quest fighter from TUF: USA vs. England season. Pretty damn cool guy.

[Mamba]

Health permitting, Edgar/Penn II and Florian/Maynard slated for 118 in Boston.

Still with TQ I take it?

[Mamba]

Yes.

[Mamba]

Sonnen keeps spewing shit about Silva. With the "pressure" on Silva to perform or "lose" his job, I've got a feeling that Anderson is going to not fuck around and KTFO Sonnen. He's been talking a lot of trash and I'm sure with 4 more months of trash talk still to come, Silva will snap eventually.

I for one, hope Silva knocks his fucking head off. I hate Sonnen.

[ktrulez]

damn ufc 116 is so stacked!

[speeds]

George Sotiropolous vs. Kurt Pellegrino @ UFC 116. Loser has to change his last name to Smith.

[speeds]

Matt Brown vs. Chris Lytle @ UFC 116.

[speeds]

Stevenson vs. Gomi for UFC on Versus 2.

[Mamba]

Randy Couture/James Toney @ 118 in Boston.

Such a predictable match up.

[speeds]

Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida @ UFC 117.

[Run BJM]

Randy Couture/James Toney @ 118 in Boston.

Such a predictable match up.

Wow didn't think they'd give Toney such a good opponent in his first fight. Very interesting. Wouldn't bode well for MMA if Couture gets KOed but I think he'll handle Toney easily.

You're on crack dude. I think everyone and their mother knew they'd give Toney a fighter like Couture. Toney has spewed so much shit about the UFC and MMA in recent months, Dana White has to be on the edge of his seat waiting to see someone take down Toney and either pund him out or choke him out. Fuck, if I was Dana, I would have put him in the cage with Junior Dos Santos. I bet Toney catches Randy at least once in the fight. Randy's chin is weak compared to what it used to be. Hopefully he doesn't try to be captain America and stand and bang with Toney.

[huevonkiller]

Sounds fun.

[speeds]

Nate Marquardt vs. Alessio Sakara
Brendan Schaub vs. Chris Tuchscherer

Both for UFC 116.

[Mamba]

Big jump for Sakara.

A stepback for Marquardt?

[Mamba]

Roy Nelson vs. Cheick Kongo @116

Go Roy!!

[speeds]

Matt Hamill vs. Keith Jardine is going to be the main event of the TUF 11 Finale. Um, that is pretty weak. Hamill has lost three of his last six fights (if you include the Jon Jones fiasco) and Jardine has lost five of seven.

[Mamba]

Hamill is a fan favorite though. I like watching him fight.

Hopefully he beats Jardine. I'm sick of Jardine in the UFC.

Charles Oliveira vs. Darren Elkins @ TUF 11 Finale.
