You know, i think i trashed this card thinking it was on ppv a while back. But i cant wait for this card, especially since its free. i think its going to have a few very good fights, and am looking forward to see how diego runs through the LW division. Id like to see him fight kenflo at 155... oh goody gooody gumdrops! Easto i had a dream about you man, i know that sounds weird, but i did

I really wish Dos Santos vs Struve wasn't on the undercard.

 

[Eze]

This main event is BIG. Stevenson needs a win. Coming off two loses in a row a third loss could really screw up his career.

Diego on the other hand hasn't fought in a long time and was a contender at 170. If he loses to a 155lb guy coming off two losses, it could also be bad for his career.

Both guys need to win real bad.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I hate that people consider Diego a contender at 170. The only two contenders he fought he lost to. You can't make a name for yourself with wins over David Bielkheden and Luigi Fiorvanti. He may end up being a force at lightweight, which sucks because he is my least favorite fighter. This is the first time I'll be rooting for Joe daddy.

Looking forward to this card. I won't mind a bit if I'm wrong on the Sanchez/Stevenson fight.

Evan Dunham trains at a gym in my city.

 

[Tsaunders]

You know, besides the fluke of matt serra knocking out GSP, koscheck is the man who has fought gsp the toughest.

That's why you are supposed to tap when you are in a sub that you can't get out of.

Who gets caught in an omaplata?

 

[RUGERJITSU]

Chael Sonnen vs. Demian Maia = BJJ clinic and Demian Maia via whateva he wants.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Sanchez
Koscheck
Marquardt
Maia
Hardy

Struve
Dunham
Cobb
Grove
Kelly

Main card picks are easy. Undercard leaves a little more room for error.

Who gets caught in an omaplata?

I have been ... a few times.

My instructor used to get me all the time with it. It was his bread and butter move.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Holy shit Koscheck.
