  • great fight! maia took that one 10-8, i'd think. jason took a beating and couldn't escape that mount until the very end!
  • those Nova Scotia boys are tough!!!! amazing first round!! :D

    i guess so, eh? :D

    no shame in that loss for jason. maia's mount was so controlling, but otherwise jason held his own on the ground very well! i was surprised.

    great win for demian! :) great fight!

    I picked the maia submission by choke too but got the round wrong.

    Pretty good first round, I would probably give it to huerta.

    florian by unanimous decision, although I think it was closer than that. too bad for roger.
  • excellent fight, but not the fight of the year candidate i was hoping for. ;) i didn't see kenny winning all three rounds, though? :confused: that was a close fight to call, maybe kenny pulled out the third at the end. i thought roger would show a faster pace, especially in the third.

    :( too bad for Roger.

    i didn't find that fight to be quite as exciting as everyone had hoped. i don't think it held a candle to Roger vs. Clay! There was a moment at the beginning of the 3rd round where they picked up the pace, but for the most part, i didn't see anything to jump up and down about... :o


    on a side note, i do like Roger's new shorts.... ;):D

    +1 i think i might have to watch that one again. seemed like roger was pressing the action a bit more...i guess not enough.

    oh yeah, roger vs. clay was one of the best fights ever! :)
  • not a big fan of rob here, so i didn't like to see that. quick ko for emerson. :(
  • civ_eng_girlciv_eng_girl Posts: 2,001
    whoa! that KO was unexpected! :eek:

    good to see Manny laughing afterwards....

    i couldn't resist.. i had to peek at the fantasy league!

    me, mookie, and LBC are battling it out for the bottom, with a 2 point separation between the three of us!! :D:p

    After I picked Mcdonald , I knew I should have changed it.
  • so it's looking like the basement, possibly? :D d'oh!

    can't say that i'm a fan of brock's behaviour at a couple of points there, but hopefully he'll mature a bit with more experience. completely one sided for lesnar.

    hey guys... i got a message from ReleasH. Her phone battery is dying, so she can't post anymore tonight.... but she signed off with a big VAS-Y GSP!!! :)

    speaking of bad behaviour, i was not impressed by Kongo's interview... i can't believe he just walked away from Rogan! :confused:

    leafs! you kicked ass in the fantasy league! congrats!


    woo hoo! GSP vs BJ Penn!?!? in montreal perhaps??? amazing!!! :D:D:D

  • epic main event. it's incredible that jon fitch made it through that fight. i thought it was over in the first. great heart and determination by jon. it could be safe to say that georges may have finished the fight had it been someone else. great performance by georges, and a good display of respect from both guys at the end.

    great ending to a good show! :)

    he spoke to him for a short time. Rogan asked him who he would like to fight next, i think... and Kongo said something to the effect of he didn't care, he mentioned something about fights being a waste of time, unless it's a title shot. then he walked away. Rogan started to ask Kongo to watch the screen and 'talk him through the action', but ended with "oooorrr, maybe not...." as Kongo walked away.... very strange.

    glad to hear my boy jon showed his heart, too bad he couldn't do anything to gsp but (except one punch to the temple) not many people have. Glad it was a good show guys, i'll watch it tomorrow when i get home :)

    at the end of the first round, he was playing to the crowd while they were chanting "brock"...that's not SO bad, but as heath got up, brock shoved him from behind after dominating the round. then at the end, he started to celebrate with a few seconds left, almost fell on his ass, and then taunted heath, it was wierd. :confused:
