things, could not have worked out better, or much better at least.

Well, Anderson could have whipped that ass in the rematch but at this point it's all good. Sonnen has proved himself a POS and I'm definitely no longer interested in anything he does or says, period. Douchebag is finished. I hope he gets the full year suspension.

I hope it turns out to be a flawed test or something, but I very much doubt it is..

[KenC]

He's supposed to be releasing a statement in the next few days.

The dude is a total douchebag in real life too... has been for years.

oh snap, that's right, you guys share hometowns.... or you reside in his I mean. Have people there been talking about it? What do they say? I look at this guy in the same manner as I do Kanye West.

@ 3:50, Wanderlei asking Sonnen to show some respect.

Yeah, he just lives about five miles down the freeway. Obviously he was adding a little flare to promote the fight, but he's not that far off in person. Super arrogant... not in a good way either. I haven't really talked to may people since the results were released so I can't really comment much on that.

Sounds now like the results could be from a prescription for an injury.

from the article I linked when responding to you earlier.

sure you may just be saying, but seriously, fuck all that. Anderson went into that fight with a rib injury, weathered the storm, choked Sonnen out and did not come out with a positive test!

What are your predictions for tonight?

I'm going with:
Mir via submission, probably 2nd or third round.
Bader via KO or TKO, 1st round
Sherk via TKO 3rd round

[E30Kaiser]

Mir in the first round, Bader either KO or UD, Muscle Shark via UD, Guillard via fight of the night. EDIT: Matt the terra Serra by small man complex.

[KenC]

Anybody watch Dream 16 last night? There's something about the bright lights, flashy entrances, and that bell that make it awesome to watch.

Predictions tonight:
Mir via TKO R1 (If Pat Barry had vet instinct, he would have TKOed Mirko)
Bader via UD
Sherk via UD

Serra is washed up, and Guillard is a punk kid.

[Maluco]

well fk, I've decided the Nog bro's need to retire soon, I can no longer weightfully hope for Cro Cop to win, and that I'm glad I don't let my Brasilian bias play much a part in my wagering anymore.

I miss Pride. (the Pride days to help the newbs better understand)

big props for watching DREAM. true MMA fan indeed...

[Maluco]

you guys tune into Versus tonight and watch my fellow country man and fellow Carioca destroy yet another opponent (the likes of Mike Thomas Brown, Uriah Faber, etc..)

great highlight.

[Ryan...]

^^ Aldo is a beast no doubt. I saw somewhere that he actually walks around bigger than Frankie Edgar! I would love to see what he would do against bigger opponents, or more specifically, someone like BJ Penn..
Well, looks like Shane Carwins next fight is against Roy Fucking Nelson... If he got beat up by JDS, whats gonna happen when he gets hit by Carwin?? I think Roy might be a little quicker with his hands, but the power difference has got to be huge..

After watching the "Brocktober" special on Spike, I'm already sick of the hype for this fight. They're playing out the same damn storyline for Brock; farm boy, grew up poor, ate a full pot roast himself, sucked at wrestling, then got real good, then stepped in a cage and dominated people.
Cain grew up poor, dad lifts cabbage, speaks no english, and he's proud of his Mexican heritage; where he wasn't born, doesn't live, and has no real ties to other than his skin color.

Now don't get me wrong, I wanna see the fight. Lesnar seems to be much more humble now that he almost (aka should have) got TKO'd against Carwin. I actually like his attitude now, and I may find myself privately cheering for him.. Oh yeah, and he looks even scarier with the fucking beard lol
Cain has quick hands, good wrestling, and good submission skills. Do I think he can stand in front of Lesnar and beat him up? Maybe for a bit, eventually he's gonna take a shot to the face, and if he falls, its all done. Regardless of how good your wrestling is its hard to negate the 30-40lb weight disadvantage Brock will have once the cage closes..

Im gonna go with Lesnar winning due to TKO in round 2.
