Lord of The Curry

Don't forget Tom Cochrane.

Expect UFC to counter by A) Sitting Vera out for the entire year and then cutting him or B) Making his last fight on his contract against Cro-Cop. Either way, stupid move by Vera as it seems he bought into his own hype and got in way over his head.

Main Event for the UFC Heavyweight Championship Randy Couture vs Tim Sylvia Main Card Rich Franklin vs Jason MacDonald Matt Hughes vs Chris Lytle Jon Fitch vs Luigi Fiorvanti Renato Sobral vs Jason Lambert Undercard Martin Kampmann vs Drew McFedries Matt Hamill vs Rex Holman Jamie Varner vs Jason Gilliam Jason Dent vs Gleison Thibeau Interesting card, if only for the ramifications it could have on a few divisions. Randy winning would be a huge moment that would be replaced moments later by the grim realization that he'll die at the hands of Cro-Cop. Dana has apparently told Babalu that if he beats Lambert there's a date with Tito waiting for him in June or July which should motivate the hell out of Babalu to crush Lambert as he's wanted a piece of Tito ever since Ortiz called him a B-level fighter. MacDonald can vault himself right into contender status by putting Franklin to sleep and if Hughes gets a tougher test then people realize in Lytle.

TKO Road Report....... - Patry will be supporting the motion filed by Shaun Tomkins and Marc Hominick with the Quebec Athletic Commission to have the decison against Hioki overturned. Hioki and his corner flat-out admitted to Patry and Shaun that they thought that Marc won the fight and were preparing themselves to turn over the belt to Hominick when the decison was read. I doubt that the decison will be overturned but the filing is justified. I'm gonna order the show when it airs on PPV this Saturday because it might look different but I was sitting 8 rows up from the cage and if anything won the fight for Marc it was his agression in the final three rounds, him being suitably tooled on his feet with leg kicks for the first two. Cell, Hioki attempted three of four sloppy singles in the last two rounds but Hominick avoided/ran. The only clearly defined rounds were the first three, one and two going to Hioki and the third to Marc. Tough fight either way. - There is absolutely no question that the Goulet fight is going to be overturned and ruled a No Contest. The referee allowed Goulet at least another ten seconds of time after the bell and it was obvious to everybody in the crowd except for him because Schulte's corner was frantically screaming at him from their side of the cage that the round was over. He'll most likely plead that he didn't hear the bell over the roar of the crowd (which, to be fair was quite loud) but it's still no excuse for poor officiating. This is also the only fight that's ever been stood up when a fighter has another fighters back with a body triangle solidly locked on. I'm not sure who Goulet is paying off at the Quebec Athletic Commission but between this fight and him getting gifted a decison over Joslin he's looking pretty shady. - Holanda/Stout was a tremendous battle on one hand but ridiculously frustrating on the other. I'm not gonna disagree with anything that Cell says about Stouts skills but he should be flat-out embarassed that he was getting put on his back by takedowns that shitty and for Fabio to not be in shape for a title fight is unacceptable. Definitely worth checking out though as there were quite a few moments where I thought Fabio was going to break Stouts arm but he hung tough. This hasn't been widely reported but it's worth noting that the second round also finished a minute early. - Ran into GSP (who looks pimpin' with the gold) and he said he'll be 100% in a week or two. - Chris Clements is going to turn some heads very soon. Very solid chin, capable on the ground and has KO power in both hands. With some more refined standup and another win or two in TKO he'll have other promotions knocking on his door. Next show is on June 1st with Goulet/Vigneault for the WW Title scheduled but that could change depending on the Schulte decison.

By extension of that you're blaming the entire WWE Folder. Which is totally cool. Just sayin'.

I really hope that Lennox isn't the Big Evil Government Figure of this season because 1) He's not evil nor intimidating enough to pull it off and 2) He's pretty much been a roadblock for Karen and Palmer since the get-go and for them to not switch things up would be going against the rules of 24. I can see him having a boss that he answers to but I really hope it isn't the Vice-Prez. I'm far too used to seeing Powers Boothe be Badass Evil on Deadwood, I'd like to see how he tries Badass Good on this show.

So, Frigid just started this thread to make himself feel better. My question is why Fridge, why?

This thread probably has the greatest drop-off ratio of posters compared to how many were all up ons Lost when it first aired. Fucking writers and fucking Abrams.

I really enjoyed the Haywire scene, for what it's worth. Mahone realized that taking Haymore into custody, processing him through the system would be far too much trouble given what the end result would be so he cut through the bullshit and gave Haywire what he wanted. Oh, and C-Note is the man. Episode MVP, followed by Kellerman who's slowly becoming my favorite character on the whole show.

Where the fuck is Assad? On a charter to D.C still? I guess timeline-wise it would make sense that he'd be gone for a few episodes but his presence is seriously needed right now.

Joachim Hansen (!~~!~!) vs Jason Ireland is on for the show. I'm stoked based on the fact that I've only see one Ireland fight and it was a kick-ass brawl and Hansen always delivers.

Okami cut to 175 for the ROTR tourney, I think he could make 170.

I'm not sure how Nessica fits into Lindermans plans but I agree on Hiro.

I ROFL'd. Kinda.

"They refused to comment on whether the laser can go through glass". Why?

I think the reasoning behind Graeme's killing is so that Jack has a reason to go visit Logan. So long as Graeme was alive and snitchin' there was no reason to involve Logan in the whole mess, now there is.

I'm surprised with the Linderman twist in the Nessica storyline, I figured we'd get to see DL use his wall-walking combined with Micah's electronic-frying capabilities to break her out of the looney bin. I like how the show manages to put a lot of the characters in the same place at the same time (Odessa, NYC, L.A) and still make them feel really far apart. We know that next week Hiro and Ando head back to Vegas but eventually everybody makes their way to NYC. Vegas- DL, Micah, Nikki, Linderman, soon to be Hiro and Ando Texas- Sylar, HRG, Claire, Claire's Moms, Haitian L.A- Parkman all by his lonesome NYC- Peter, Nathan, Issac, Claude, Simone Where's Nuke Dude at right now?

Yeah, Swick faded like a motherfucker against Loiseau in the third round, if Okami can wear him down in the first two I can see him finishing him in the final.

Has Tim Sylvia ever made anything remotely in the area of $350,000?

50 functions well as a hook guy like on the DJ Who Kid song with Kardinall Offishal and certain Game tracks but I can't stand much of his other stuff.

50 best watch himself or Cam might have to pull another "Sandals with jeans" line out of his bag o' tricks.

I'm still spouting that bullshit because the dude is a fucking weasel and saved himself. I didn't really notice anything in that scene that showed me that his powers accidentally activated themself. What did you see that I didn't?

50 doesn't want Dipset going after G-Unit. Writer and Santana alone would demolish anybody 50 could bring to the table. Rell likely could as well. Inc, there's been a disturbing lack of random, obscure threads going on lately. Keep busy.

I don't care what they say, barron is good people. Finally the titties get their due.

This was a good episode, an improvement from last week but the "big shocks" were all things we could see coming a mile away. - Jack's dad being evil? Check - Jack's dad taking care of Graeme? Check - Morris being the programmer? Check Either we're all far too conditioned to watching 24 and are anticipating the twists or the writers are mailing it in. BTW, Chad Lowe's casting as Lennox's bitch is one of the better punk-bitch castings in 24 history.
