So I take it we're 11th out of 65 in our team division. I need to pick the right fights coming up to up my bank account

I'm having a very tough time with this Lesnar/Mir match up, I keep changing my mind on who I think is going to win.

Hey now. I can barely remember my middle name as it is

I'm watching them as their air. I don't want to jump ahead on Demand. It's weird, I know

It's a shame that non spoiler fans can't even enjoy a discussion about the show here

I was thinking just the opposite about the movie, I think it eats it hard at the boxoffice

Yeah, Cole was my only mispick in this round

So I tune into Celeb Rehab because this is the night that Ricco comes on...and uh, he comes off like a major scumbag

I don't have the time to check all the pages, most of this stuff is months forgotten about

My favorite of the baby bunch and for no reason

The whole suicide bomber deal from last week was so bad it was funny. I really feel like I could stop watching the show at any time now. I am just completely tired of the crazy females needing the docs. And the whole Gina thing...seriously, what the F

I like Cote. He's like Guida and Eastman, even when they lose they go all out. I'm glad the UFC gave him more chances after a lackluster start

MMAjunkie is saying that Aleksander Emelianenko and Josh Barnett might have an April fight in the works.

I was so on the fence about picking Cote, but he looked really good in his last fight so I went with him. My only mess up was Cole Miller, and I only went with him because I didn't know who the other guy was

My picks were solid (8-1) and I moved up significantly in the group...but I couldn't pick rounds and finishes well. My betting went good this time as well. Heavy on Swick, a fair amount on Cote, and a few bucks on Thiago to lose (payoff would have been major)

Lackluster show, but I did go 8-1 with picks

Damn, that one is a shocker. I always liked Heath, it's too bad.

I think Forrest won round 3 as well. And you can argue a 10-8 first round for Tito, but that's close as well

from mmajunkie.com UFC light heavyweight Tito Ortiz today confirmed that he has reluctantly accepted a May 24 fight with Lyoto Machida — while also saying it’ll likely be his final fight in the UFC. The highly publicized interview took place this afternoon on Fight Network Radio. Ortiz said he accepted the UFC 85 fight with Machida, but that he was “expecting a bigger fight,” such as a rematch with Rashad Evans. Ortiz and Evans fought to a disappointing draw back at UFC 71. If it weren’t for a costly one-point deduction issued to Ortiz for repeatedly grabbing the fence to avoid takedowns, Ortiz would have earned the unanimous-decision victory. With the rematch apparently not on the table, Ortiz said he accepted the Machida fight and that he’s “just looking to get my final fight over with the UFC.“ Ortiz has one fight left on his current deal, and he’s been working toward a new one for more than six months. However, even bypassing UFC President Dana White and working directly with UFC co-owner Fertitta brought no resolution. “They said I wasn’t worth the money, I was worth no more than what I’m getting paid now, and I’m not a commodity to them anymore — I’m not as viable to them anymore,” Ortiz said. “That was a sign of disrespect.“ Ortiz earned $210,000 for both his UFC 73 and UFC 66 fights. Ortiz also reasoned he should leave the UFC because, with White running the show, he’ll never get a title shot again. Without an extension in sight, Ortiz will likely hit the free-agent market — where suitors such as M-1 Global, HDNet Fights, EliteXC and Strikeforce will likely be waiting. “UFC is caring so much about the brand itself,” Ortiz said. “They could care less about the fighters. Fighters are a dime a dozen. They’ll keep coming. Dana is really out for himself and the company. He doesn’t give a sh** about the fighters.“ --- Really...Tito's bitching about not getting another title shot? If you look at his last 9 fights the record looks good on paper. 6-3-1. But his last three title matches, all with Randy and Chuck he beaten like a bitch. His wins lately have been over an uninspired Vitor, a decision over Cote who's a true middleweight, an over the hill Shamrock, a draw with Rashad, and a questionable win over Forrest. Dude is so far away from deserving a title fight. Keep in mind he can't put anyone away anymore. I say Machida rips him apart

Agreed. I don't know if selling t-shirts is a priority for them, or they just think these silly mma fans will pay anything

With the exception of the main event slots the UFNs are pretty much on par with the ppv shows...if not better

I plan on my score improving after Wednesday's show. Although I am picking Cote to win, which I'm only about 30/70 on right now

I picked Davis to win, but put a small bet against him just in case

Davis is a goddamn beast. Hope the UFC will put him against someone for real now
