Thank you!

The opponents made sense;

Shogun lost to Forrest in his first UFC fight. Shogun also lost his last fight, while Forrest was coming off a win I believe. People wanted to see the rematch, and they got it.

Okami was next in line for a title shot, and Silva ALWAYS looks like the huge favorite.

Schaub is a rising contender with great stand up and had good win streak going. Nog is coming off a series of surgeries, and wants to prove he can still compete with the newer breed of fighters.

I personally see nothing wrong with any of the match ups really..

Ok, so what do I do now?

Wow!

I hope Overeem beats Brock. I'd love to see dos Santos v Overeem. It would be a K1 match with 4oz gloves.

Same here, I like dos Santos for the same reason I liked Cro Cop, his strategy is sprawl and brawl, and he can finish the fight at any time. Reem has been a monster too after he bulked up so that would be an awesome fight! Brock is probably just going to sit on Reem for 15 minutes though and call himself the best fighter in the world.

awesome fight!!!!!!!!!

You can tell Dana wasn't too pleased, its obvious he wanted Cain to keep winning to grow the mexican fan base.

I'm a big fan of Dos Santos, so pumped that he won in spectacular fashion :D


Now here's what really pisses me off; how the fuck can they compare Dos Santos' story to Cain's and say they both have "great stories" of growing up??? Dos Santos grew up poor as shit in Brazil. Cain, grew up in Arizona, the son of illegal immigrants, went to good (ie American) schools, then college, and is now in the UFC. I dont see how his story is all that amazing to be honest, sounds like a better life than most kids in the rougher parts of Detroit/Atlanta.

And they gotta quit with the "fighting for all of Mexico" bullshit. The stupid caveman grew up in America, as an American born and raised in Arizona.

Yeah, they're definitely milking his family heritage to shift Hispanic interest to MMA from boxing. There was an article today about it.

I really like JDS. Seems like a genuinely good guy. I think his story is more marketable than Cain's. Now let's see him defend the belt at the next UFC event in Brazil in the 100k person arena!

+1 on both accounts.

you get the feeling that you could go have a beer with JDS, I hope he defends his belt a couple times. A fight with Overeem would be awesome, and if its in Brazil I imagine the ground will shake with all the cheering :D
