Almeida was definitely a disappointment, he looked good for a round but was gassed hardcore after that, he could barely do anything at all in the final 10 minutes. Probably was expecting too much from him in just his second fight back from retirement, it's probably for the best he gets a few more fights under his belt before a possible fight with Anderson anyway. Speaking of possible fights with Anderson, Cote is going to get MURDERED if that fight happens. I've never liked Cote though so i eagerly look forward to his impending destruction. Another good win for Tyson Griffin, his striking looks very good but judging from the Aurelio & Tibau fights he seemingly has zero power, he's landing punches all day but never looks to be doing much damage. Hopefully his next opponent is someone more willing to engage and force him to react and scramble in/out of things, i miss the Tyson Griffin from the Edgar/Guida/Tavares fights, this makes 2 in a row for him that have been far from thrilling. As for the main event, while i don't agree with the judges scores i agree with the end result. I had it narrowly for Forrest, but it was so close that a draw or even a decision for Rampage wouldn't have bothered me. Great fight, one of the best main events the UFC has had in a long time, a rematch definitely has to happen down the line. Rampage/Wanderlai III in a #1 contenders fight sounds good to me, either Forrest/Rampage II or Forrest/Wanderlai would be great fights, though i expect Forrest/Liddell (provided he beats Rashad) will happen first. No idea where Machida fits in all this, the UFC will probably keep him fighting fringe contenders for as long as they possibly can so they can do the big money Forrest/Chuck/Rampage/Wanderlai fights & re-matches first.

I vote B.

Australia started having a test like this last year.

I only got 6 correct, good thing i'm not planning on becoming a US citizen anytime soon.

Rashad Evans

My latest trade is sure starting out well. Magglio Ordonez and Troy Percival both go straight to the DL, after i had already added them to my starting lineup for the week of course.

Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto

Awesome. Loved the previous two Diablo games, looks like i can say goodbye to my social life once again when this one comes out.
-
Since it must be my pick by now i will handle the riddum of: Georges St. Pierre

I have to go with Chicken. Never been much of a seafood fan, in any form.
-
Count me in.

Made some good money on my Grove/Sanchez/Fisher/Hazelett parlay, if only i was still betting with $11000 instead of just $210. Stupid Hughes.

Knew i was forgetting about something, doing my team summary now.

Surname: Byrne Recorded as O' Byrne but more usually as Byrne, this is an Irish surname of great antiquity. Claiming descent from Bran, the king of Leinster, who died in 1052, this great clan originated in County Kildare where they held extensive territory until the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169 - 1170, when they migrated to Wicklow where they occupied the country between Rathdrum and Shillelagh. Their name in Irish is properly O' Broin, meaning the male descendant of Bron, the raven. The O' Broins, like their neighbours the O' Tooles, were particularly noteworthy for their resistance to foreign aggression, and they continued to inaugurate native chiefs up to the end of the 16th Century. The seat of their chiefs was at Ballinacor, County Wicklow, and the territory over which they held sway was known as Crioch Branach. The celebrated "Leabhar Branach" or "Book of the O' Byrnes" deals with the exploits of the clan in these times. Alderman Alfred Byrne (1882 - 1956), a distinguished recent member of the clan, was ten times Lord Mayor of Dublin. The Byrne coat of arms has the blazon of a red shield charged with a chevron between three silver dexter hands couped at the wrist, the Crest being a mermaid with comb and mirror proper. The first recorded spelling of the family name may be that of Fiacha Mac Hugh O'Byrne, the military leader. This was dated 1544 - 1595, in the Historical Records of Dublin, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st of England, 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

If he lost at 205 to someone like Chuck Liddell it probably wouldn't hurt him much, but if he ends up getting knocked out with a Superman Punch by fucking James Irvin you can flush his unbeatable aura down the toilet. -
I vote C, though i will miss having Hanley Ramirez for the price of a 20th round pick.
-
Give him Will Purdue, and give the others Big Country Reeves, Jim McIlvaine and Eric Montross so we can finish this thing.
-
So much for being near the top 100, i lost every dollar i had on Hughes.

Filling the role of backup point guard, giving me some speed off the bench and a reliable source of assists and steals: Manute Bol Muggsy Bogues

Pretty sure it was Shockwave 2005. -
He's been on my radar the last few rounds, but i always ended up going with someone else. Had i been thinking at all i probably would have taken him instead of Brandon Roy.
-
Time to take a coach: K.C. Jones
-
Cueto i was going to hang on to as a possible keeper, but with Jurrjens turning out awesome i can dump Cueto and take a chance on Delmon turning it around, if he does Granderson/Kemp/Young is a hell of a potential outfield for me.

It's hard to believe i was 1st not that long ago, another week or two at my current rate and i'll be dead last (currently getting hammered 10-1 by the team in 2nd last place). It's also clear First Base is a cursed position for me, last year it was a cavalcade of shit all season, now Travis Hafner has forgotten how to hit and has just been put on the DL to confirm that i'll seemingly never get even remotely decent production from 1B.
