If anyone goes to Strikeforce, you'll get a treat. There's a guy from Ohio on the undercard that was brought up in the Ohio-based NAAFS organization that shows tons of promise, named Brian Rogers. I've watched him several times and he is one tough SOB.

It makes it seem like they're counting like that fake shit called Wrestlemania. People don't really remember the numbers when they talk of old fights. Here's a recent one, can anyone tell me what UFC Lesnar lost to Velasquez without looking it up? Chances are slim you can give the number. You'll know of it alot easier as Lesnar vs Velasquez, or things like Penn vs St Pierre I, or II.

121.

Penn vs. St. Pierre I was at 58 and II was at 94. FWIW, Penn-GSP at 58 wasn't the main event. :)

I watched the free undercard on ION, and was on the fence about buying the rest. The undercard helped me make the decision not to. Thankfully.

Rumor has it that a Bisping/Sonnen match up could happen in the summer.

The UFC isn't done with him. His contract was froze until his money laundering case is over.

It was an interesting card. Not a good card but interesting. Fitch got screwed so did another main card fighter that I can't remember now.

I don't know why the ufc always puts crap cards on foreign cards.

They try and put on fighters from that country or fighters that they are familiar with. I disagree about Fitch being robbed, I thought BJ won the first 2 rounds and there is no way that last round was a 10-8 round like two of the judges scored it. BJ was never in danger of being finished, you can't just give out a 10-8 round like that.

Not much talk about Bisbing, dude is a bitch. How don't care how much shit Rivera's camp talked, spit on the corner after the fight???? I also think he threw that knee intentially! Sonnen wants Bisbing next!

The funny thing is, all that stuff Jorge did before the fight was to rile Bisbing up and get him off his game. Then the fight rolls along and it works perfectly, and Jorge elects to continue the fight. Imagine how pissed Bisbing would be right now if he would have a DQ and Jorge was sitting back laughing.

I couldn't believe the doctors let him continue. I know Jorge said he was good to go but you could see he was not! You are right that would have been poetic justice if they stopped he fight there and Bisbing loses by DQ!
