not the exact same as mine, but similar.



I have a 46" samsung LCD, mounted above the fireplace with Yamaha 120 W speakers all ceiling mounted (Polk PSW110 sub is in the entertainment center i had custom built to go under the window). I have a Denon 591 Reciever that i love. everything is 3d compatible and I'm set up for a 56" TV. So when my TV is done (it's already 4 years old and only has 720p) i'm set to upgrade my TV.

whats kind of eery about that picture is how similar it is to my house. Same tile on the mantle, same window placement and light mounts, except we have 2 spotlights directly above the TV. If they had Tan walls, lost the blinds, and added dark red curtains that would be my living room.

yeah lil koz my bad it was a long day

Ive always been a GSP hater but the more i watch this season the more i respect him. It seems like he trains with the best from around the world and really studies other fighters like knowing who had a great choke

I still don't care for GSP. He is a bad ass in the octagon but I just can't stand him. I honestly hope Koscheck finds a way to pull out the W.

I don't care for GSP either, but he's starting to grow on me.

I don't understand how people don't like GSP...from everything I have seen on him (even b4 TUF) he seems like a great guy and obviously has loads of talent. Now Kos...he is trash!

I don't think GSP is a bad guy or anything. He just mostly bores me in the octagon and I guess he is just one of the guys that a lot of people want to see get beat because of that. He is definitely a bad ass though. I hated Koscheck for a long time. I thought he was a bag of douche since season 1 of TUF but I actually like him now. He has been funny this season and he doesn't seem to be that bad of a coach.

I don't know how you don't like GSP.

Has he been a Unanimous Decision king since he got KO'd by Matt Serra? Yes, but prior to that the guy was submitting and KO'ing everyone he faced.

He is one of the most talented fighters ever to fight in MMA.

He also seems to be a truely honest and great guy.

Brock looked like a monster compared to Cain during the weigh-ins.

No, but I was happy to hear he won. I really didn't think his wrestling style would translate into any MMA success. Good for him, I am pulling for him to continue his success.

Yes, thats because he is. Brock will be at least 10 lbs over the weight limit by the time the fight starts. He is going to have at least 30+ lbs on Cain. I really don't see Cain having a chance in this fight at all. I don't think anyone has a chance vs Brock unless they are similar in size.

I don't hate GSP. Just find him to be extremely boring. It's not like I don't give him his props or anything. I'm just saying I don't prefer to watch his fights and don't tell me that I don't know anything about fighting because I don't care to watch him. I know what he does is fundamental and pretty good. I just don't prefer to watch him.

Brock is the man. He was on Jim Rome Is Burning the other day and Jim played the tape of Chael Sonnen running his mouth saying he would slap Brock and Brock said to Jim that he didn't even know who Chael was lol. Classic.
