Since when has SPACED been on Showcase here in Canada? In related news, YES~! SPACED IS ON SHOWCASE! *Pulls out imaginary guns*

Do you even know why Rampage lost those fights?

Rampage IS the break

Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva, anyone? Screw this December bullshit, have this fight happen as Silvas first and let the division sort itself out in the mean time.

http://www.youtube.com/user/TubaraoFloripa Two Griffin Fights from last night

Your Nak hate is sickening.

There is a rumour stemming from Josh Gross that the main event for the Dec UFN is going to be ROGER HUERTA vs. CLAY GUIDA. Let the baitin begin.

In regards to the 10 point must, I don't think it needs a huge revamping, I do think the scoring criteria favours GnP and not submissions. Striking, Grappling, Aggressiveness, Octagon Control, Damage - that pretty much all would go to a guy who holds the other guy down and punches him. I think Aggressiveness needs to be changed to "Fight Finishing". A guy who catches a submission is trying to finish a fight, while a guy who is throwing punches from guard and isn't Fedor, isn't. However, that could be considered more aggressive than the submission attempts, and ditto the control issue. "Damage" also needs to be redefined or reconsidered as a criteria as you don't do much damage with submissions, but they are nonetheless as dangerous as a good strike. Also, most of the judges are guys with striking backgrounds and seem unwilling to give 10-10 rounds, which I felt some fights last night warranted.

I think Jardine vs. Machida would be a good match. Or Machida vs. Alexander. Lyoto looked vicious at certain points during that fight but needs to get his gas tank to the point to where he can sustain that viciousness. After either win, Lyoto should be considered for a title shot, as I think Rampage vs. Machida would be a good fight, and 205 is fucked with mmath. Overall I thought it was a good win and a good fight, though Nakamura clearly missed the needle. I think Lyoto vs. Jardine, Griffin vs. Alexander as contender fights isn't completely insane to do. Alves vs. Diego was a thought on my mind after the loss to Fitch, as well as a drop to 155. Either would be silly sick, especially Diego dropping weight. Diego vs. Koscheck II is also another option. Speaking of dropping weight, Shogun should drop to 185. It was clear he couldn't deal with Forrests size, just like he had difficulty dealing with Diabate and Overeem. With those fights, however, he was able to capitalize on his opponent gassing early and equalize with stomps and soccer kicks. At 185 there aren't that many guys taller than him as most walk around at 6'1. As for his gassing, a combination of things led to it. First and foremost, the takedowns drained him, and I think Forrests size made that a two fold problem. His reach had Rua not wanting the fight standing and his weight made the takedowns all the harder to get. Secondly, Shogun was off for a while and didn't sustain his fight shape. Thirdly, and this will be discussed below, he didn't train like Forrest did. I honestly expected Forrest to win, but I am disappointed nonetheless. I took a number of positives out of this fight for Shogun and the things he needs to improve are things that can be done in the gym, it's just a matter of getting them done in the gym. Is Chute Boxe the place for that now is a good question. I think the biggest issue to come out of this is that, simply put, Americans are the state of the art when it comes to training, and the world needs to catch up. Whether it comes to game planning or running ridiculous drills, the work isn't being put in at the level Internationally that the guys at the top American clubs are putting in. Liddell was Liddell in the fight. Looking for the one punch knock out and not getting it. Jardine strung together strikes and had an actual game plan. Liddell got caught up in knocking out grapplers, forgetting he got took the distance with Busta, Suloev, and Belfort (hell, consider Horn if it wasn't a 5 rounder), who are certainly not world-beaters in the striking dept. but were able to not get caught with that one punch. Chuck never once changed up his strategy even when he was getting lit up and down, and he really needs to learn that lesson if he is to keep on fighting at 205. I'd say there are 3 options, one is a fight with Wanderlei, the other is a fight with Mirko Cro Cop, and the final one is move up in weight and hunt down Randy.

I hate you so much.

Hells yeah. Miller stringing together those subs was rad, but goddamn was I cheering for Leonard during this fight.

Alves looked SCARY against Hironaka. Sick leg kicks.

Watching the weigh ins, Forrest looks absolutely shredded and Shogun is not doughy, but there isn't much definition to him. Not that this is a body building competition or anything, I am just wondering if he trained enough for the fight. At 235+ odds, I'd put money down on Forrest. Mainly because of his shreddedousity. No tricks either. No tan, no oils, no shaved chest. For a guy who was supposedly weighing 30-40 lbs heavier in his off time, I'm impressed.

I'd say no. 2 more wins. I'd put Frank Edgar ahead of him if he gets past Fisher. Tyson Griffin vs. Clay Guida Tyson Griffin vs. Frankie Edgar http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8...h&plindex=2 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=46...h&plindex=4

**Loretta Hunt of The Fight Network reports that if Sean Sherk’s 1-year suspension is held up on October 31st that the Lightweight Title will be decided on December 29th with a fight between B.J Penn and Joe Stevenson. -tfn

There needs to be a point in this season when Dana enters a room and Hughes and his team are there, sitting down around a single chair, about to hold an intervention. "What the fuck is going on here?" "Dana, we're here because you have a problem" "What, is it my binge drinking and womanizing?" "No, Dana, it's your cussing" "Get the fuck outta here"

http://www.dailymotion.com/search/alves/vi...nthiago_extreme Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves Holy crap does Fitch thoroughly pwn Alves in this.

You know the scene in Independence Day where Harry Connick Jr. and Will Smith are flying in fighter jets against the aliens and Connick gets blown up? Matt Serras reaction was very similar to Will Smiths'.

"I'm so competitive, if I can't win, I won't play"

"I'm not a poo-see" is the new "I ain't no bitch"

Ah, Matt Hughes' dickish, bemused, grin. Missed you, so much. "I can't let my kid watch, cause he's cussin all the time" Fuck yes.

Rockin Blue Steel again. His right bicept looks bigger because of the ring girls shiney head. But yay Ricco.

Anyone else getting these beer commercials featuring mens sociopathic desire for light, watery, beer? They are amazing.

Kenny via Poetic Justice. Who's riding the bike now?? NOT DIN! CAUSE HIS LEG IS FUCKED!

No matter who wins, Din just wrecked Kenflo.
