Kenny Florian spent the entire last three minutes of the fucking fight before the end flurry running away. Florian 29-28 unless the judges hate backpedaling.

Kenny has the two takedowns but Roger is obviously controlling the pace of the fight..."Octagon control" if you will. I wouldn't be shocked to see the judges give either round to either guy.

Mike and Joe called Roger an emotional fighter in the middle of the round there. WHAT WOULD NATHAN DIAZ SAY?!

Kenny Florian as "The Bride."

As much as I love Rog, I can't justify or fathom how the words "cakewalk" could even escape his lips when talking about Kenny Florian.

God damn fantastic fight. I know the Athlete is a gatekeeper and all but Maia might be for real now. I'd imagine his next fight is going to be against a top-shelf opponent.

That first round was a thing of beauty.

I was driving home today and noticed gas just slightly under $4.00. That's the first time I remember it being sub-4 in a very long time.

Guida at the weigh-in station. Fuck yeah. We'll be getting awesome reaction shots all night.

The best song in Walk Hard is "(You Make Me So) Hard", the rap remix of Walk Hard. I downloaded it on iTunes and the song is phenomenal.

Any posted results of prelim in this thread before they could possibly air will make me very, very angry. Especially when one of my favorite fighters is on the undercard.

I liked Walk Hard. Those are some of the best parody songs in any movie.

Yes, I picked the craziest thing possible to justify me going against my gut.

I love Danny McBride man. I forget the line that caused it but at the end in the diner he closes his eyes and does this lame fist pump thing to one of the comments and I just about lost it. He's hilarious.

Isn't there 3 episodes left?

Not a good mindset to get in to the cage with a deranged psycho killer like the Barn Cat. PREDICTIONS: GSP via 3rd round TKO. Georges wrestling won't be as successful as usual so eventually it will turn into a stand up battle and Fitch isn't equipped. Huerta via 2nd round submission. Everything logical thought I have says to go with Florian but what kind of mancrusher would I be if I abandoned Roger at the first sign of trouble? I think Florian is probably going to win but whatever. Lesnar via first round TKO. I might end up looking dumbest for this one tomorrow but this is the first win for the future UFC heavyweight champ. Immediate takedown followed by about 45-60 seconds of a beating and then it's fucking over. Steve Mazzagatti is going to jump in and then it's over. Joe Rogan: WOW! Ladies and gentlemen, Brock Lesnar! (picture that seemingly harmless sentence in Joe Rogan's voice and you'll know exactly what I mean). Maia over Athlete by second round submission. I'm really tempted to go with Macdonald because he's saying all the right things. This is an MMA fight, not a grappling match, etc... but Maia gets bonus points in my book from the way he demolished Ed Herman and this will be a good test to see how good at MMA he really is. Manvel via 1st round KO, Kongo via UD, Barn Cat by KO whenever he pleases. Gusmao, Chris Wilson, Ryan Thomas also winners. I may have missed a fight or two or three... going off the top of my head.

Fuck yeah. Very well done.

With any luck we'll be seeing Jacare/Manhoef on Sept. 23rd.

Is that Ron Darling or Keith Hernandez doing the game on SNY tonight? I have a hard time telling them apart sometimes.

I have the same problem with benching...except it's my right rotator cuff. This past week was the first time I did it without injuring myself in about two years. I usually do incline bench with lighter weights or just d-bell bench. Chest is BY FAR my least favorite workout.

I'm a bit shocked at that. I'm not even that strong at beach muscle exercises... I bench like 215-225 max right now and I can still do 135 for 12. What sports at these D1 level athletes playing... tennis?

That obviously has to include people who don't work out on a regular basis. I NEVER see people doing sets of less than 135 at the gym and for most people I know, including myself, 135 for 12 is the warmup set.

Ryan Adams is coming to Syracuse but the tickets are $45 (after all the ticketmaster bullshit)... On the one hand, $45 friggin dollars for Ryan Adams?! But on the other hand, he's released four albums since the last time I've seen him in concert, two of which (Cold Roses, Easy Tiger) are among his best yet. This is a tough, tough decision.

Loved the ending. I also liked the road blockage/nightvision sniper action.

Retard strong. KOAB did say that I look like a TUF reject which is fairly accurate in terms of how I look and about how strong I am. The only thing I'm lacking is the actual fighting skill.
