Especially when you consider that Harris is what? One fight removed from earning KO of the Night honors? Him getting cut kind of sets a precedence that if you're not a name guy, one bad fight WILL erase any number of good ones.

And yes, that was an obvious 29-28 for Rampage. The most you could say is it was a draw, but no way no how Machida won that fight.

Its very easy to pick out who doesnt know what the fuck theyre talking.

yeah but please cut people before we get more fighters like kongo who dont understand their not a top tier guy fighting to win but in there to earn a paycheck by being exciting. When I watch i think there are to types of fighters title contenders and then guys who are a notch below and need to put on fun fights. Both types ofmatchesare fun to watch but i dont enjoy 5 or 6 fights per ppv of dancing and laying on peopleyou have to mix them in. The fighters just need to learn their place.

Am I the only one that laughed my butt off at the irony of Josh Koscheck trash talking GSP about "lay n pray"?

Don't get me wrong, there has definitely been a fight or 2 where GSP out grappled an opponent and got the win, but good Lord thats about 95% of Kosh's wins. Kosh has had roughly 2 exciting wins, and that's it.

Maybe he's just mad that he got beat at his own lay and pray game the last time he fought GSP (aka got out wrestled by a non-wrestler).

If it wasn't for a horrible decision vs the Korean Zombie Garcia would be 1-4-1 is his last six fights. Don't confuse exciting fighter with good fighter. I think Nam could take this.

Exactly, I love Garcia, but he's not that great.
