I dunno ... this fight could turn out to a be a blast. I'm always inclined to pick against Overeem because of his very well known flame-outs/collapses, the Bigfoot fight being merely the latest...

I'm always up for an upset, but I don't see many on this card.

I like Cain big in this one.

Going with JDS ... I'm guessing Hunt can withstand the bombs that JDS has, but Hunt does tend to huff...

Barnett is freaking durable, for sure, though is stretches of inactivity have hampered him.

Does he have an actual camp?

"“There’s no one in 185 that I could lose to or I would have a hard fight with,” he said. “I’m capable of beating anybody at 185.”
...

Yeah ... probably is a weak idea. Aside from the ultra hardcores, this fight can't get too many people excited.

Maybe Zuffa will just make Vitor the figurehead of UFC in Brazil because it's unlikely that he'll get licensed in Vegas. Might not matter, dollar wise anyway ... Vitor's resurgence has gotta boost...

Yeah ... where the hell is he, anyway?

Some good sparkling and an extra kick (pun!) to it all because of Vitor's win. Yes, the t-therapy will cast a cloud over the win (damn grousers!) but at any rate, it was a blast to see Vitor looking...

Join the club. I picked Vitor then over-analyzed it and switched to Rockhold.
Anyway ... great to see Vitor looking so sharp and lethal. He lives on.

Ah well ... that was a (mild) hometown decision.

At this point, Nate's anti-politically correct snarks make him a bit more marketable--something he needs after that pasting he too from the Punk.

Ugh. I'm changing my pick to Rockhold, and probably am guilty of overthinking it anyway. If Vitor wins, I'll be very happy to be wrong. Maybe the home turf advantage will help him. But on balance, I...

Good grief. It's a drag, really, that we still have these antiquated (and deeply irrational) laws about weed. But of course, we do have them, and any knucklehead knows it. Hard to imagine what Healy...

That's how I expect it to play out as well. Weidman is a very good fighter, but this bout seems like too much/too soon. Maybe after another couple fights, Weidman's chances would go up quite a bit,...

Best wishes to him. What a pasting he laid on Frank Mir ... serious power. And the Gonzaga fight was pretty impressive, too. He got clipped then landed that Godzilla right hand. The guy's power was...

Riggs has (to use the cliche) a "wealth" of experience. Yeah, he's had some very bad breaks and I do hope he can do well in the show. The guy has been through wringer more than once and he's still...

Sounds good. Brown has been one of my favorites for quite a while; the guy's got the right attitude: bring the violence. He's always been ballsy as hell but in the last year and half or so, he's...

Agreed. Lavar has his obvious limitations, granted. Against a guy with a ground game, Lavar will probably--no, almost certainly--end up on his back and looking to be in over his head. But with some...

That's part of the reason GSP has his critics. The guy is dominant as hell, mopping the floor with challenger after challenger who was supposed to be his "biggest challenge yet" (Fitch, Pitbull, Kos,...

Probably so ... well, CERTAINLY so with having no weight limits. Having no time limits is nearly as close to an impossibility, no matter how interesting it might be to consider.

It's an interesting idea and does bring to mind the original UFC's, the fights to the finish, Gracie and Shamrock, etc. There's no doubt it would change strategies and would probably appeal to...

God dang it ... Big Roy sure throws a good right hand.

Werdum has to be ahead of him title-shot wise, but Nelson/Overeem might be fun. I'm guessing that Roy's right cross would reach Overeem's...

Well for Christ's sake. The Strikeforce crowd is throwing its weight around.

The fight ending injuries have me hitting the wine early. Damn. Fortunately, a couple neighbors are picking up the fee for tonight's card. Hope it's decent.

Well, if there were any serious doubts about the SF versus UFC quality issue, last week's card was instructive. Some of the SF guys are obviously world class. That said, I'm aboard the Jim Miller...
