Lord of The Curry

Gilbert Melendez vs Mitsuhiro Ishida is a GO. I luv that they're trying to recapture the awesomeness of BUSHIDO. In terms of K1 vs "PRIDE" style matchups there 's supposedly deals in the works for Kazuo Misaki vs Yoshihiro Akiyama and Tatsuya Kawijiri vs Andre Dida.

I just got done watchin' Guida/Griffin for the billionth time. And Guida won. Fuck it.

- Omar surviving the game - Michael steps up his ruthless ways - Somebody gets back at Marlo for Bodie. - Bunk and Jimmy continue to bring the goods

So it seems that Gono was none too pleased with Rogan's biased commentary in the McCrory fight. From his blog... "I began to find my rhythm with my leg kicks which are obviously all weak, powerless, and revolting, like pussy karate chops, without any weight in them. Certainly my kicks are nowhere near the kind power of like a Pete Spratt or a Thiago Alves as the commentator pointed out to you." Gonowned.

And for those looking for the spoilers for the finals.........

Way to repeat exactly what I said.

Swick/Burkman is a go as Mr. Swickotine has confirmed it. I'm not sure what to think about that fight. If Burkman wants to bring it he can be an entertaining fighter but when he chooses not to (ie. against Petz and Neer) he can suck the life out of a fight and with Swick being a total X factor @ WW this is a gamble to put in the main event. I personally think they should go with Cote/McFedries for the main.

Ben vs Dan is set for the finale. Guess Dana's banking on a repeat.

I see this fight being very similar to Joslin/Koscheck aka Dustin will have a very active guard and might come close to pulling out a sub but Koscheck will use his strength and wrestling to hold him down for three rounds.

Shinya Aoki vs JZ Cavalcanti on NYE. Uh.......holy shit.

Let's get some dee-skushon going on up in hyah......... Televised Card Mike Swick vs Josh Burkman (WW) Drew McFedries vs Patrick Cote (MW) Nate Diaz vs Alvin Robinson (LW) Undercard Jeremy Stephens vs Cole Miller (LW) Michihiro Omigawa vs Thiago Tavares (LW) Gray Maynard vs Dennis Siver (LW) Corey Hill vs Joe Veres (LW) Kurt Pellegrino vs Alberto Crane (LW Justin Buccholz vs Matt Wiman (LW) Fuck yes UFC. Build the little guys the fuck up. This card looks really, really good and I look forward to DL'ing the entire undercard the next day because there literally is not a fight on this card that doesn't appeal to me in some way or another.

You are a funny character.

Oh shit, Matt Hughes is just talkin' some king-sized shit on Serra up in hyah. Some excerpts from the UFC media call on Monday (at which Serra was not present)... On the downside of fighting St. Pierre instead of Serra: “It’s bad because I am fighting a lot tougher opponent than Matt Serra. There’s such a difference in competition between Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra. Like I said before, Georges knocks Matt Serra out nine out of 10 times.” The upside of fighting GSP: “The good thing about the fight is that I’m fighting somebody I have a lot of respect for. I was really looking forward to fighting Matt because of what he said about me. It was easy to get up and hit the bags because I disliked him. I don’t have that hunger that I had before, but at least I’m fighting someone who is a good role model. People would rather see this fight than me and Matt Serra anyway. I don’t know how I will beat Georges St. Pierre, but I am a true believer that it is going to happen.” On Serra’s future in the UFC: “I would much rather fight Matt Serra. Georges is one of those guys that will always be around. He is that good. Matt Serra is not. If Matt Serra loses his next fight, he will probably lose his next and then be out of the UFC. If I don’t fight him soon, I probably won’t get to fight him at all. You have to remember the reason he was on the reality show was because he couldn’t make it in the UFC.” More on Serra: “Another thing I dislike is that I feel Matt Serra is getting the good end of the deal. If he had beaten me, he would have fought Georges again. Now, he is getting the easy way out and will be fighting just one of us

Pwnage? Schooling? Tooling? Takin' him to the woodshed? Exposure?

Good thing to know you base your opinions on what judges say and not what your eyes tell you.

Looks like Josh Koscheck vs Dustin Hazzlet is on for the March card w/ Silva vs Hendo as the main.

Hughes said on his blog that he was given a choice of Koscheck, GSP and Alves and chose GSP which tells us a few things... 1) Matt doesn't want to take the easy road so props to him for that 2) He doesn't remember the second fight 3) He possibly saw something in the Koscheck fight that he feels he can exploit and he's also likely taking advantage of the fact that GSP has four weeks to train for a five-round fight against a guy with possibly the best cardio in MMA.

What were you smoking when you watched GSP/Koscheck? That was three rounds of domination, plain and simple.

I concur with Mik 110%. Counry Boy Can't Survive.

Agreed. Rogan shooting his load all over them during the Lytle fight was tremendous. It's like, he saw Lytle throw a kick during the first round and inside was thinking "Damn it Thiago, you're better then this!" and when Alves turned the shit up in the second Joe Daddy was just blasting his love all over the place.

star, you need to come to my apartment and chill w/ me and Rudo for this show. On the reals.

Really? Do tell. Seriously. List your reasons.

To elaborate on what I said it genuinely made me want to see Kynt and Vyxsin take the whole thing because they were (at least on-camera) the only team who seemed to grasp what Africa is all about when you're a tourist aka one day will have you saying "Wow, so beautiful" with anything past that making you depressed beyond words and questioning your place on this earth.

I'm shocked. I thought "Thiago Alves' leg kicks" or "Ricardo Almeida makin' the comeback" would've been your answers.

Besides Serra facing Hughes? And Franklin facing Anderson? And Stevenson facing BJ? Yeah, probably.
