Lord of The Curry

So long as we get a trianglebomb spot I'll be happy. Speaking of the TUF finale for a non-UFN show it's looking decent if not unspectacular given the lineup.... Diego vs Luigi Fiorivanti Burkman vs Dustin Hazlett McFedries vs Eastman Stephens vs Fisher Tanner vs Grove

I can't recall the Rivera fight but I know that with the Shamrock, Tanner, Quarry and Loiseau fights that Franklin wasn't put on his back. Granted I can't recall if any of the above-mentioned tried for a takedown so it's a bit of a moot point. Either way I'll cop to Lutter have an advantage on the ground but I don't see it even getting there. Franklin is going to be out for blood in this fight. Why, I don't know.

Okay, that was what, four years ago? I'd be willing to wager that Frankin's takedown-d has improved by then. I've yet to see evidence of Lutter having good takedowns and for the love of God don't say Silva because he didn't have functional knees at the time. But hey, if Franklin is in the same realm of Scott Smith and Cote as far as defence goes he's a dead man.

Jeremy Stephens made a post on his MySpace that he'll be fighting Spencer Fisher on the TUF Finale show on June 21'st. Nothing confirmed, camp-wise or with UFC management though. I.......luv........that......fight. Buckwild shit.

I'll for sure be cheering for Bisping. Hopefully we get "London Calling" for entrance music again. I dunno about Lutter though. I don't doubt he carries the skill and technique to submit Rich but getting him down and more importantly, holding him down will be his issue. Okami was able to keep Rich down but couldn't tap him. I don't see Lutter having the takedown skills to put Rich down and force him into a position to get subbed.

I'm actually considering picking Serra in my pool at work on the basis that if he loses I'll be too happy to care about losing money but if he wins I'll at least have some money to come back to on Monday.

I think GSP would be able to handle Serra on the ground but I don't think he'd be nearly effective as against Hughes or Koscheck due to Serra's submission game. It's weird, thinking it over. I can see GSP winning by decision, knockout, stoppage or submission. I can only see Serra winning by KO. And even though GSP's options are more varied I still think Serra by KO is just as valid a bet on its own.

Solidify him as the #1 Welterweight in the world?

This is pretty much The Big One for GSP. If he wins, regardless of how he does it people will more or less cop to him being the future of MMA. If he blows it then it won't matter how many top-level fighters he faces and beats after that because the "mentally weak" stigma will plague him forever.

Ya know, it's not like I had enough reasons to want GSP but to win but goddamn if I'm going to walk into work next Monday and have random co-workers ask what happened. I've pretty much sold people in my office on the show who've never watched MMA before so if Georges fucks up I'm gonna hear about it for a long time.

GREEK? Oh man. No homo indeed.

Somebody find the Andre the Giant photo and put "Warning: Has Police Conditions" underneath.

Red, get his cell # and then promptly pass it along to telemarketing companies.

Less then a week (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

The sarcastic type.

Nice. Checking out the Fight Club shit, are we going to make it into town in time for the weigh-ins? They start @ 1.

Is it a good or bad thing that I remember that post?

Danzig on the Bocek fight..... “To be honest I don’t like this fight style wise. He is kind of boring, not because he wants to be but he is good at slowing the pace down of a fight. My job is to make it exciting for the fans and not to let it turn boring.” Mac spits truth. Bocek's fight against Evans was terribly boring. If Bocek brings the suck I will change my cheers mid-fight for Danzig. Rudo- For the love of God tell me that you didn't book us on a 8 AM train back to Toronto on Sunday. I just realized how horribly hungover we're gonna be regardless of the main event and I honestly don't know if I can get up in time for that.

Oh, those details. Yeah, saw 'em.

This could just be me but I see no details.

One week (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

I guess light beer and spirits aren't an option instead of outright quitting?

Evans, Edgar, Serra, McCrory, Maynard are all guys I'd assume would be on that card. Great sig btw star. I look forward to the world tour of your daughter.

Rampage should know a thing or two about upkicks. He got KO'd by one from Arona and it was only Arona's stupidity that prevented him from finishing the fight.

Rudo and I could probably make a road trip down for that one too. I'm down for Marcus vs Tyson. Griffin has good enough hands to hurt Marcus standing but once it goes to the mat things will be interesting.
