Impressive jiu-jitsu display by Palhares.

If they are putting the Salaverry fight on it must be good.

Power of the shaved head.

Randy in Wandy's corner...

B.J. Penn's family at the weigh-in station keeps cracking me up. At the same time, about three seats away Cung Le looks bored out of his mind.

Wulp, that was quick. Perhaps the hype is justified.

Yes, I wanted to see Carwin fight.

Oh no he's dropping Randy's name, big no-no! That was a really good fight.

That was some second round.

HOLY FUCK. That was almost a miracle win for the ages. With that said, Machida looked impressive. Dominant.

Saved by the bell! Lyoto just had him in the same position that Hughes finished off B.J. with in their second fight.

Thiago Silva doesn't fuck around on the ground.

I find it interesting that Cung Le got such camera friendly seats.

I just re-read Deathly Hallows and there are so many parts in that book that are going to be hard to mess up on film. Those are going to be the two best films in the series, I think.

I hate to be one of "those guys" but this looks so INCREDIBLE in HD. I've had HD long enough that I'm over the whole "so much better in HD" phase but I just got so used to watching UFC in crappy SD that this preview show alone is blowing me away. It's just adding to my excitement for this show... which was already the most excited I've been in a card since GSP/Hughes 2.

Adrenaline MMA has joined the HDNet stable of promotions for their first three shows. Their first show, headlined by the freakin' Snowman, I'll probably skip but their second show is supposed to have Timmay and Ben Rothwell on it in separate bouts... probably worth watching that one.

Thiago Silva mark? Am I the only person who thinks that Sokoudjou/Nakamura should be on the main card ahead of Gouveia/Reiljic?

Just got around to seeing this... I'm not too sure what I think about C.B. talking about himself in the third person all the time.

And it was just topped by Tito's giant "Dana is my bitch" t-shirt.

That Nakamura/Sokoudjou staredown was fantastic.

Their TV presentation is sometimes better than UFC as well. It's weird in a way.

Middleweight Second round matchups: Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Melvin Manhoef Gegard Mousasi vs. Dong Sik Yoon Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza Zelg Galesic vs. Taiei Kin Obviously the big matchup is Mayhem vs. Jacare. I'm not sure I like these matchups this early.

What does everyone think about Dan Uggla? People have been waiting for him to flame out for seemingly two years but yet he's on pace to be the first second baseman with 80+ XBH in two consecutive years since Rogers Hornsby (!). I've finally come around on him. He seems to be a solid but unspectacular 2B who will give you decent power stats. I can't complain about that.

GSP/Fitch, Lesnar/Tomato Can and Florian/Huerta automatically makes it an incredible card.

I put $1000 each on Carwin and Yoshida and $300 on Keith Jardine. I could lose all of my decent size bankroll (just about) or skyrocket up the rankings.
