Anyone watching UFC tonight?

Oh, man, im like a kid at christmas. This is like the old Pride cards, more than one possible headliner. Nog vs Mir is going to be great, Nog wins in the 4th or 5th or unanimous decision. Evens v Griffin is hard to call, Evens has the athleticism but griffin has the heart and the size. And Wandy vs Rampage, don't let the kiddy's watch this one. If you saw the first 2 encounters you know what I mean. Wanderlei was put on this planet for this. He is probally the most violent fighter out there, except for King Fedor, but thats a different argument. Since losing the first matches in exceptional style, Rampage better show up. The cage and elbows are suited for Quinten to win this fight, but the guy is mentally unstable. if he gets into a bang fest with Wand, it could be bad. And ***, why is John Fitch on the undercard? he is #2 in the world at 170? after a very public argument with Vince mcmahan I mean DAna white, he is relagated to the dark match? One more example of ufc brass looking out for themselves and not the fighters or the sport.

I will be at a fight party tonight. It is going to be great! I used to be a big boxing fan back in the day, but it is just such a joke now. I will not support anything boxing related anymore. MMA is great!

My son is good friends with Uriah Faber and has watched this kid train. He says it is crazy what these guys go through.

I wish some of the lighter weights would come into the UFC for the big shows. Miguel Torres is such a tactical fighter. This kid can choke you out with an eyelash and nose hair......too many weapons.

Tonight will be fun

Ain't that the truth. Whats that guys name that has been trying to get it unified? Teddy Atlas I think. If there where more folks like him calling the BS, it might be worth following again.

No question boxing is taking a hit about time. I will be buying the fight tonight.I used to buy boxing, but not anymore. Don King is going to have to reinvent him self.

Couple of surprises tonite. Mir does it so easy. Lesnar looked nervous about whats next for him and Lidel probably retired after what he saw. LOL

Good card.

I wanted Nog to win or just not lose that way. I definitely thought Griffin would take Evans. I was disappointed.

I picked "Sugar" Rashad Evans to win. You just need to know not to mess with Spartans!

well, I was way off. I figured wand rampage was going to end in a ko. mir nog was a huge suprise, it looked like nog got out of his rhythem, Ive seen every fight of his since pride 17, and that was hands down the worst he's ever looked. Mir and lesner should be good.
