Found it interesting that people are hating on both Schaub and Lesnar...I love them both!

Some great fights coming up...can't wait.

If any of you are in NE Ohio and are looking for a place to watch the fights, let me know. We are having a party in Canal Fulton.

Diaz stood up with the Noons nearly the whole time and put it on him. Nice to see Diaz prove its not all about his jiu jitsu although it never really was, he has always had good hands. Diaz puts on a show you don't see him laying on top of people if you don't think he is a top 10 fighter than your crazy. I just want to see what happens next for him.

Cain Velasquez is much better the JDS IMO. Cain Velasquez is the first person I think has a decent chance to beat Lesner going into the fight.

The only thing JDS has on Velasquez is better and crisper boxing.

I think Cain has a tiny chance to beat Brock but I don't really see it happening. I give JDS even less of a shot. Seems like he should be a light heavyweight.

JDS does not equal CV but with submissions off his back.

JDS has better technical boxing, but far worse wrestling than CV. I would say CV has better power too.

I gotta give power to JDS. Before CV ko'd a glass jaw Big Nog, he was known for pillow punching.

Glass Jaw? Big Nog had only be KO'd once ever until that fight.

Big Nog took shots from Fedor and didn't get KO'd.

His chin is on the decline. Pretty much like Liddells chin.

Dana White says Jake Shields will be next in line for title fight if he defeats Martin Kampmann:
http://mmajunkie.com/news/20985/ufc-boss-says-jake-shields-probably-in-line-for-title-shot-with-ufc-121-win.mma

I'm really pulling for Shields because, if he loses, it doesn't say, but I imagine we get GSP/Fitch II or Koscheck/Fitch next year.
