weigh-ins were today for both shows on saturday.

first, the affliction show just got a whole lot less interesting for me as aleksander emelianenko was unable to get medical clearance from the CSAC and his bout with paul buentello has been scrapped. :( edit: looks like gary goodridge happened to be in the audience and will now face buentello.

michael buffer was either drunk or just showed up with no preparation...:D...he didn't know most of the information about start times, and called vitor belfort by the name "vitor bellfrott" three times. also, rogerio nogueira is now "roger-ario no gi area" actually, no one seemed to know what was going on...michael buffer says tickets are still on sale...trump comes out and says the event is sold out...?

anyway, the weigh-in results...looks like levens was the only one not to make weight.

...also, no blackjack...good plan!

...one more also, good luck to NY PJ1 making some $ off your pics.

+1

mookie blaylock 10

pre-lims are uderway in vegas! 15 minutes until the afflcition FSN and fight network one hour broadcast, then fight night!

another bad start for me on fantasy league, though...:mad:

mookie blaylock 10

buentello wins the decision over gary goodridge in what could best be described as a hungover early morning sparring practice. paul is VERY lucky aleks wasn't able to get cleared.

mookie blaylock 10

fuck yeah! vitor! he landed jabs at will throughout the first round, martin played right into his game and followed him around the ring. martin gets a takedown in the second, but vitor gets back up, lands a flying knee that staggers martin and vitor backs off and lands the finishing punches. martin is out cold!

awesome win for vitor! he looks great at 185. his hand speed is still unreal.

also, very cool to see randy couture come out with him and be in his corner. one of the many things i like about this sport.

Hey guys!!! I've been away too long. :( I missed you all too! I've been working like a crazy person for the last two weeks ... close to 80 hours each week.

But I was able to get my picks in for the Fight Night ... albeit it with one minute to spare, so who knows how well I will do.

Looking forward to chatting with you all tonight.

i guess so! i just checked in to the fantasy league...no results yet, but i'm hoping to redeem myself.

cb vs. jesse coming on now...

mookie blaylock 10

beautiful submission for cb! i think that's the first time i've seen someone pull that off in the ufc.

not a bad fight to start the night, a little bit of back and forth on the ground, but cb kept getting jesse's back.

mookie blaylock 10

better fight than i thought it would be so far. burns looked good in the first part of the first round. i didn't think he'd be able to stand with johnson, but he's hanging in there. johnson is definitely landing the more powerful shots. i thought johnson was going to finish in the second, but a couple more takedowns and not much from either guy on the ground.

mookie blaylock 10

...and then pretty boring on the ground in the third...

now we'll see what happens here. another eye poke!
