No shit, Karo. You'd look like even more of a pussy if you ducked it now then before. And I think he's going to be in for a shock against Alves. It's not like that's going to be a cakewalk for him either.

Regardless of how choosy he was with his words Karo's message was easy to translate: "I'm not confident fighting the best in the division because I don't want to lose out on the title shot I think is coming to me."

Maybe so, but it also doesn't mean he wont accept the fight if it was offered to him. Calling someone a pussy because he doesn't want to derail his title shot is pretty stupid. Karo is far from a pussy.

The key part of my translation is the "title shot I think is coming to me" part, which it isn't and shouldn't be. Karo had his chance to put himself up there against Diego and he lost it and since then decisioning Fickett, Burkman and Chonan doesn't get you back in the mix.

He said if the fight was offered he would take, it wasn't offered and Alves was, so he took it. It's not like he's fighting a tomato can, he's fighting another contender aswell. And although Fitch beat Alves, I believe Alves is a bigger fighter now. Fitch is the fighter getting an easier opponet, especially now that Gono pulled out.

 

I believe Karo in him saying that he fight wasn't offered. He has no reason to lie. Although I question his confidence about fighting and beating Fitch, I doubt he would turn down a fight with him.

Since his return from the suspension Alves has been on the prelims of a UFN and the undercard of a PPV whereas Fitch has taken co-main spot on a UFN and was given a high-profile fight against Diego.

 

You're deluding yourself if you think Alves is the biggest fighter right now. Want proof? Look at Fitch and Alves. At the end of the year one of them will have challenged for the UFC welterweight title and one will not. You know which is which.

I made a typo, I meant to say Alves is a better fighter now then when he was when he fought Fitch.

 

I think Fitch would still be able to beat Alves, but Alves would make it a tougher fight.

I like Cote. He's like Guida and Eastman, even when they lose they go all out.

 

 

...have you seen many Eastman or Cote fights?

Not that this has anything to do with the topic at hand, but Eastman has got to have the biggest pecs since Bolo. And yes, that would include HHH.

Even though everyone has known it for awhile, Okami vs. Tanner is official for 82. Due to all the stars on the show, Koscheck/Hazelett is going to be an undercard bout.

Smart decision. Koscheck shouldn't be worried about Dustin shooting on him like GSP did but Hazelett has a great guard so Josh might.....ya know....be Josh. If he looks good I'm sure it'll be their first choice for prelims to air on the live card.

Why? Just because he's not fighting Gono anymore? Diego and Koscheck are coming off losses. Fitch is the hottest thing in the WW division currently. Figure it out.

 

Pretty much...

 

I understand they are building up Fitch as next in line for a title shot, but I haven't even heard of the fighter.

 

Koscheck is coming off a desicion loss against GSP where he held his own, there is no shame in that.

The fight science show on National Geographic was a great way to spend an hour. I highly recommend it if you can track it down.

UFC 83 has been canceled altogether and the fights that were schedule have been scattered to other cards. The show in Montreal will now be UFC 83 instead of 84.

 

Sidebar: do you think they should stop with the numbers at some point? Perhaps after 100?

Thank God. I was looking at the line-up and it was starting to come off worse than 78.

Irrelevent, it was going to be on free TV anyway.
