Come on u guys! Gonzaga ANd Carwin is going to be the fight.

It should be a good one. Manbearpig wilts when he's physically pressured. The best thing Carwin can do is close the gap, work striking in the clinch and then pound Gonzaga out when he gasses.

It's an interesting fight because Carwin has all the skills to finish Gonzaga and Gonzaga has all the skills to finish Carwin. The x-factor is going to be how Carwin looks if he makes it out of the first round.

They should of paired up koscheck and anthony johnson instead of another no name for josh "I should stick to my wrestling" koscheck

yeah, jardine being the main event is pretty disappointing.

Are you kidding me bro? Rampage may rape Jardine, but Jardine deserves to be where he is at! FOR SURE! I am definately going for Jardine even though he is the underdog.

WhaaaaaaaAt, jardine does NOT deserve to be in the main event.

 

[psychobilly]

rampage.. in the second round ... either KO or TKO

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Jardine put up a very entertaining fight.

 

[csyflt]

Yes he did and I knew he would! He deserved to be there. He come close to having Rampage a couple times!

 

[JayC]

He did well.. Rampage definetly respected Jardine's skills because he was not the typical aggressive/go forward Jackson.. he was going in an out and seemed a little tamed.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I thought both fighters would try a little harder to finish, especially Rampage. Over the last few fights he's developed a very passive counter striking technique which seems to be working well for him.

 

[csyflt]

Yeah he has. But I cant wait for the day someone beats him through the matt LOL

 

[ManOfMuscle]

At this point I think Machida could take Rampage. I also think Rashad has a good chance to beat him.

 

[csyflt]

Yeah me too man.

i wasnt kidding. i think main events should be top fighters. i dont think jardine is among the best or most entertaining.

i didnt watch this event so i cant comment. however, just because a guy has an entertaining fight doesnt mean he should be in the main event.

 

[csyflt]

You are right bro but Jardine has a great chin and thats awsome!!!!!!!!!

 

[Eze]

I haven't watched this card yet. I was busy with work stuff, but from what I hear it wasn't very good.

 

[csyflt]

Not amazing
