Your Paragon of Virtue

That's the biggest question for me, the layoff and the age. I think that's why the lines are so close, because that's the biggest X-factor.

Beat me to it. The power of the dildo won't be enough though, but Matt Hughes thinks otherwise and actually picked Brock to win. A LOT of people are apparently, as betting lines are a lot closer than expected. I'm strongly considering putting money down on the Natural.

The best part about the Franca thing is that they took a picture with him, Pellegrino and someone else in front of the ATT building giving the finger while holding up the black belt. Maybe he'll never be a world champion, but it's hard to hate a guy as affable and with as much heart as Hermes Franca. Call it the Mark Hunt effect. Really solid card top to bottom, I'm even interested in the main event, just to see how far Cote has really come before he gets smashed.

Yeah thats pretty messed up. I just meant that even though some of the pictures are from after 2000 from the quality of it they still look like they were taken from the 80s.

Lay n' Pray

Montreal: 1) Alouettes HA 1) Habs . . . 2) Alouettes 3) Local Mixed martial arts Toronto: 1) Leafs 2) Jays 3) Raptors 4) Argos

A big part of that is you can't deal with the adults the same way you deal with teenagers. Pete Carroll found this out the hard way when some of his sesame street style pep talks and cheers didn't work with Bledsoe, McGinest, et al.

Goulet is actually really nice. I'd go so far as to call him a geek, and I mean that in the nicest way. A lot of people get the wrong impression when they meet these guys in public, they extrapolate one chance encounter with a judgement of the person's character as a whole. Sometimes they're having a bad day, but for the most part these guys know to be polite and nice because it means a lot for their image. But I'm pretty sure Cote is an ass based on his general demeanor.

And the city of Montreal. Most people I know in Montreal want to see Anderson Silva knock his head off of his shoulders. The only people that don't, train with him. By all accounts, an arrogant dick.

Fuck that, in no way is Cote winning good for anyone but Cote and his boys. It's not gonna happen anyway, biggest underdog in a loooooooooooooong time. Wider gap than Serra-GSP in my opinion.

I still think Nover is the "Anderson Silva", because the guy he beat to get into the house was as good as most of the guys already there. I think you're short selling Marshall, Tong.

To be fair Delgado could take a punch like a motherfucker, and Junie was gassed from the weight loss. I still say he's a dangerous fighter, I thought it was stupid of him to avoid the ground at every chance, since being able to pound somebody's face in would negate what little advantage he would hold off of his back. Also, that crazy mexican he faced in the round of 32 was fairly active on the ground and Junie still handed him his lunch.

LOTC is probably the worst poster in this folder when it comes to viewing fights/fighters with blinders on. Christ.

1) What's the story with you raping your uncle? 2) Why do all the pictures of you look like they're faded memories from the 80's?

That's a pretty big point to overlook. Also, he destroyed Lytle. It doesn't matter though, because a fight with Alves will tell us all we need to know really.

Is it the ultimate or the ultimate 2008? Stupid name either way, but I'm not going to be a fag and complain about it when it's got fights like that.

It's for drugs not alcohol. He looks like he could be a pothead.

I prefer RRR's BJ/Anderson Silva tale.

Serf vs. Nobility right here.

Haha, I guess I'm the only one that finds that shit disgusting.

He died. RIP

What brought this on?

I'm amazed at the guys dishing it out to Vera on here. Even if Jardine comes in at 110% there's no way he has his way with Vera. Vera is one of the most well-rounded guys at the heavier weight classes, nobody will run through him. He's had a couple of lacklustre performances, but I see him making a big statement at this show. I'm fairly confident he'll pick apart Jardine on the feet en route to either a TKO, or more likely a decision.
