    you're probabaly crazy busy these days, eh? well i hope they show gray's fight for you. it may give you just enough energy to hang on for a bit. so many good match ups on the undercard, but i'm particularly interested in seeing how much gray has improved. cory hill, too. oh, and the grappling in pellegrino vs. crane should be outstanding too...damn i'd like to see them all.

    gray for you and ceg, though, so you can stay awake! ;)

    you had me by a deuce the second time i checked, so i think this will be close. our friendly competition may turn into a heated rivalry! :D

    yeah just a little busy lately. I'm a night owl so I don't particularly love getting up at 3 am but it's nice to do what you love. I think I can manage to stay awake for Gray though! ;)

    Lots of good fights on this one, eh?

    I don't know about this heated rivalry, but I'm only slightly competitive so please don't mind me trying to kick your collective butts! ;) (although i've probably just jinxed that prospect)

    indeed, that does make it easier. :)

    i'm only joking around, of course. this just adds a little fun to the shows. it was always fun just picking the winners with youguys, but it's cool that they have set up this fantasy thing for us to keep track.

    ...and you still have me by two!!! i just checked in again to see, but i have managed to avoid the spoilers tonight, so any bonus pre-lims will be more fun that way.

    Wait just a second Ceg! No giving up yet. You still have the high score in the league.

    that is true! :)

    ...and i just checked in one more time...you still have me by two after another update! haha i'm in 40th place, and you are only 18 points out of the top 20! you're probably in the 30's?

    Hmmm.... verrrryy interesting!

    I'm sans a computer tonight so it's hard to me to check the fantasy page from my (evil) cell phone.

    excellent fight to start the night! i really enjoyed that one. the second choke attempt looked like it was the finish for robinson, he had not arms in and it looked really tight...then i thought we might actually see an oma plata submission! but alvin rolled out and eventually got caught in a really nice triangle. impressive win for nate!

    see...it ain't over, ceg! :)

    awesome... lovin' the jiujitsu! i was afraid for that guillotine, but nate's a tough little f***er! :p

    he's too funny.... "i set up, and that's it... he shoudn't 'a did that." :)

    yep, i got a big goose egg on that one! great job by nate to get out of that. tough, like you said.

    i saw the results page...they have it up now, so i spoiled things a bit for myself, but i did get bonus points on one of them! first time i got bonus points! that's why i WAS still in it. :D

    still in first! :) you pulled ahead on that last one. 123 is what you gots! :D

    another great round. man, thiago is quick and slick, but omigawa is hanging tough.

    Thanks dude! :)

    +1 on the first round to thiago. ;)

    pretty slow second. what little omigawa was throwing was mostly hitting air. thiago kind of complacent in the stand up. may have been frustrated by the early takedown attempts.

    if someone had told me tavares and omigawa would go to a decision i would have been really excited to see the fight. unfortunately, a promising looking first didn't continue into the second. not much to speak of in the second and third. still, probably thiago's win, but not an impressive performance in the last two rounds. some credit to omigawa, i guess.

    hmm . . . I had heard somewhere that they were making an mma inspired movie. Based on the trailer I'm not sure if it will be any good.

    a win for thiago but not the most exciting fight. thiago seemed to have really down shifted in the second and third rounds. he didn't look tired but just didn't have any fire
