    Love the Akiyama pick. Good guy to fit in with Hendo, Law, and Filho.

    Thanks, for some reason I thought he was already taken, otherwise I would have took him earlier. But everything worked out good. I'm not really a Gonzaga fan but I thought he was pretty good value at this point.

    Alrighty, going with one of my personal fav fighters, a guy who's record and opponents speak for itself

    Hayato 'Mach' Sakurai!!

    dude has fought a who's who of 155ers and has wins over Caol Uno, Mac Danzig, Jens Pulver, Joachim Hanson and yes the person many ppl consider the current #1 LW Shinya Aoki!! His losses are nearly as impressive as he's lost to Takanori Gomi, Matt 'country breakfast' hughes, Jake Shields as well as rodrigo and Crosley gracie!

    the man is a legend in the sport IMO

    So Celtic Fan picks Mach and then you pick the guy that just clobbered him, nice.

    Baron isn't a young guy but he is going to get a lot of opportunities now stemming from that fight.

    I took Nogueira with my 2nd pick.

    Love the Edgar pick though, he is one of my favorite fighters being from NJ and coaching at Rutgers.

    not that's Little Nog, Rogerio Nogueira, not Minotauro Nogueria.. they're names are near identical, their nicknames are near identical and they're twins too. [​IMG]

    So you have UFC HW champ Antonio 'Minotauro' Rodrigo Nogueira
    and his brother ---- Antonio 'Minotoro' Rogerio Nogueira
    confusing or what!!!

    I forgot he had a brother. The last time I saw him fight I think was in 2005 against Hendo but I haven't herd from him or seen him since.

    dangit!
    that was my sleeper 205er everyone was supposed to forget about!!

    I guess I left him hanging around too long, nice pick.
    now if only he would actually, you know, fight... [​IMG]

    with my pick in the draft, I'm going to bolster my WW division again with the man know as DJ Ozma and for his eccentric ring entrances!

    Akihirooooooo Gono!! (and I get to return the favor to BF of picking a guy who beat the previous pick [​IMG] )
    love to watch this guy fight and I'm happy to see him in the UFC! Now if only they'd go out and get Misaki too.

    never seen one of his infamous ring entrances??
    check his out from the Pride WW Grand Prix finals!

    With an entrance I hope he won the fight. Also that guy is wild.
