Fabricio Werdum dominated and side choked Aleksander Emelianenko at 2H2H, a result suprising absolutely no one with a brain. The only bad thing about the result is that it wasn't Gonzaga choking him out in the UFC, just to further expose his jockriders as nimrods.

I'm all for the ridiculousness of a Lutter title win if leads to an even more ridiculous title win by someone like Chael Sonnen.

Because it's Travis "B Class" Lutter?

That would be pretty much the most awkward thing ever.

"Razor" Rob McCollough KO'ing Olaf "Crazy Meth Jesus" Alfonso

Ah, ok. Anyways, the more I think about it, the more Aleks reminds me of a really big & fat John Lewis.

...? Is there any reason you're not simply saying "Aleks E. aiming to gas in the UFC?"

November 11th

No.

Considering the brewster fight was the first time Sergei had ever looked exceptional, it was only a matter of time before he lost his title. But to Shannon fuckin' Briggs? Good fuckin' Lord.

Leena is pretty attractive with darker hair and hasn't ripped on me yet to my knowledge. There ya go.

A meathead guido got fuckin' bitched. I'm perfectly satisfied.

Barnett's test actually showed comparatively small amounts of testosterone, because he is in fact a giant vagina.

Hughes vs Serra Serra vs. Hughes' back from 5 miles away

Hughes is awesome simply because of how humongous a dick he is. Between blowing up at Whitehead, thinly veiled racism, and overall shit-stirring, he's been the MVP of two TUF seasons so far.

The most popular explanation is those are "official" figures put forth by PRIDE to the NSAC, with the fighters getting much more under the table to avoid getting taxed up the ass.

Floyd's a great fighter and technician, but it's not as though he has tremendous one punch power like a Trinidad or even a Gatti. He overwhelms guys with the volume and accuracy of his punches, and thus stops guys who may have taken harder single shots from bigger guys before. However, Baldomir is a full 2-3 weight classes above many of Floyd's best opponents. That alone will have a dramatic effect on how well he'll be able to take Floyd's punches. Also, it's not as though Carlos hasn't been hit with a high volume of hard shots before. Judah basically used him as target practice for half of their fight, and never came close to discouraging him, and while not nearly as technically sound of a fighter as Floyd, he's a physically talented guy who carried a bit of his power to 147lbs.

So Judah & Gatti, both bigger punchers than Floyd, teeing off on Bladomir and getting little in response except smirks and right hands alone isn't enough? I've seen Bladomir a little bit more than most people and while he hasn't faced a fighter on Floyd's level, there's no denying that the guy is tough as nails with a solid chin. I still don't see logic in thinking the tough, linear welterweight champion is going to be KO'ed at all by a smaller, relatively-light puncher at all, much less quicker than someone like Gatti or Sharmba fucking Mitchell.

But there's no way Floyd is going to be able to KO Bladomir, short of climbing a a ring post and landing a leaping Superman punch on the back of Baldo's head, and at no point is Baldo likely to simply stand around and play dead like Gatti and get TKO'ed. For all the hype Arturro gets, Bladomir is about 5 times as durable as Gatti ever was.

Castillo and Corrales are both better fighters then Baldomir. They were byfar the toughest fights of his career. Mayweather will win by a wide desicion. No way will Corralles be a tougher fight than Baldomir. Sure, he'll probably get hit twice as many times, but he's a bigger, more durable fighter who's not going to get dropped 5 times and will pressure Floyd throughout. Corralles will probably go down as a better fighter than Bladomir, but that doesn't always have anything to do with being a tougher fight for a certain opponent. You're giving Baldomir less credit than Gatti? Come on.

Marrero & Lauzon came in with no hype or management to demand more than the UFC's starting salary of 3K to show/3K to win (admittedly very low). On the other hand, Pulver was the former (and only) LW champion coming in with a lot of hype, while Kongo was being built up as an entertaining HW title contender. I'm sure if Lauzon can keep things up, he'll make decent money soon enough (though it'll be hard considering he's not a true LW), while Marrero will probably be fed to a more entertaining fighter who isn't a totally worthless grappler.

Damn. Figures I missed something else. Anyways, Hughes via submission, Rd.3

Fuck that. I don't pussy around predictions unless the match-up is a real toss-up to me(Mir/PDP, Henderson/Belfort). Just a quick glance at each match-up. I'll do real predictions closer to the card. Also, yes, it was a typo.

Ain't got nothing on Alexander Vogel.

Wait a sec... Fujita can't soccer kick O'Haire, and doesn't even have a cage and elbows as consolation. Fuck that shit.
