I know you usually start these threads, Pearl. I'm just a little antsy I guess.

The championship fights should be good. I'm actually not as high on this card as most just because they lack size, which usually means they lack power. I have no problem watching them trade blows if they're willing to stand in there and fight. I just don't have a lot of confidence in knock outs for this card.

What ever happened to the fighter who fought in the street in Austin after a big dude hit a girl in the back of the head? He stomped the guys head in the concrete when he was down, so I thought he'd go to jail.

This should be a decent card. If only for the fact there are 2 title fights. Im sure ill pop into BWW on the strip after the game and check it out.

I'm not that crazy about this card, either. I will be watching the game Saturday, so I probably won't even get to watch it. And I'm ok with that. A better card I couldn't do that. To be honest, the Sonnen-Stann fight interests me the most. Neither Edgar or Maynard interest me that much for some reason, and I think Aldo will bounce back and destroy Florian. I think Florian has to cut too much at 145, but he's not in Aldo's class anyways, imo.

That's so awesome!

I was wanting to Bones to crush Evans but being that I actually like Rua, I'm far more excited for this fight.

I'm guessing Bones will win but I'll be cheering my ass for Shogun.

I would like to see Maynard get knocked out.
My only interest in this card.
Not sure it will happen though.

Not the right guy. This guy was chavez, Garcia, or something like that. Tatted up and head full of hair.

Pearl, you lost me. Bones is fighting Machida, not Shogun. I don't know where Shogun fits in this?

Is Evans still not ready? Looks like Evans unnecessarily "ruined [Bones'] day" again.

No more drinking in the afternoon during days off for me.

Not sure why I thought it was Rua(unless ESPN edited??)

But uh, seeing as Machida lost two fights in a row, one of which was to Rua... it's no wonder I'd confuse Machida for a title fight. Since when does going 1-2 while beating a washed up, retired fighter = title shot?

There might have been a point in time when I would pull for Machida over Jones(not a bones fan) but it's an embarrassment that Machida would even get a title shot given his last 3 fights.





P.s. I could've sworn it originally said Shogun... Still think it did

Sucks man. He's going to be winning a lot of fights, for a long ****ing time. Maybe you can just ignore that weight division for the next 10 years.
