    Good to be back Mookie! I missed you guys!

    I'm not sure that the finale will go a decision. If it does, I think it'll be reminiscent of the Bonnar v. Griffin war on TUF1. If CB has been knocked down a peg or two, then I think I'll go with CB by TKO. Amir is crazy tough though ... this one is hard to call.

    I'm definitely going to check out more of Sigur Ros. Any recommendations of where to start with their catalog?

    I'm hoping for Amir by TKO but really CB looked great in their fight until he got caught. If Amir has really worked on his takedown defence, there is a very good chance he could win. But like i said, i'm going to go with CB. You are right, it could go either way and hopefully turns out to be like Bonnar/Griffen.

    umm it all depends on what you are into. If you want the most relaxing music that you will float away to then go with (). It was the 1st full album i heard of theirs and had to hear everything else after that. If you want a bit more "poppy" but still absolutly amazing go with Takk. It's not really poppy, just that's how i describe it compared to () and Agentis Bryjun. I'd recommend either of those for a first time listener. Agentis is a great album aswell though and is their 1st that was amazing. Oh and they have a new cd coming out on monday :)
    edit: I forgot to mention their movie Heima. It is one of the best music dvds i have. Not only is the music good, the cinematography is absolutly amazing. If you ever get the chance make sure to check it out.

  • looks like the card for the finale is set. as of now they have riddle vs. rivera on the main card...seems strange they would show that over a few of the undercard bouts. rivera's style seemed a little...well...boring, on the show. i think it's a three hour show, though, so there's a good chance for a couple of pre-lims.

    That was a decent size cut under Amir's eye. Whoever the doc was that was sewing it up did a good job. But Amir will have a lot of scar tissue there for awhile ... probably won't play a factor in the finals but always a possibility.

    yah, it looked like it healed up really well at the end of the episode!


    although, i have to ask.... should Forrest really have been eating a snack in the "operating room"?? lol!! :confused::D

    yeah, not quite the blockbuster news most people were speculating about, but i do think it's a good move in terms of international growth. lorenzo would likely be more inclined to do well with development in new markets in other countries, and it sounds like they have numerous countires in mind to host shows in the next couple of years.

    he and a few other guys decided to stay in Vegas for one extra night, after their big party with Dana.

    when they got back to the hotel, Jesse kicked in the window of their limo, staggered into the hotel bar, started harassing some female guests, and then when security tried to calm him down, he started shouting "Do you know who I am? I'm a UFC fighter!!"

    lol.... that'll piss Dana off pretty fast!

    we only saw footage of the limo incident. the rest of the info came from Dana's "eyes and ears" in Vegas... :p

    Better Dana find out now then later.

  • I'm sure big John Mccarthy is proud he is a relative!!!

    no way! i didn't know that!

    after ceg reminded me of the pee moments...i'd tried to delete that from my memory banks...i was more inclined to not feel bad for jesse. twice! he pissed in his pants twice! (that they caught on camera at least. :D)

    oh, the rough epsiode from montreal, part deux, was finally on yesterday. they showed ceg, releash, and myself for a split second during their "previously on rough..." segment. the rest was mostly host nicki ryann flirting with the fighters, as usual.

    we were on another episode of Rough? we are officially MMA superstars! did you tape it? did you LABEL it?? ;):p

    sorry about all the pee talk. it just really baffles me how grown men can act like such buffoons and not be embarassed by it... :confused:

    wow!! now that i think about it, Jesse and Big John really do look alike!! crazy!

    ULTIMATE FIGHTER 7 WEIGH-IN RESULTS
    Friday, June 20, 2008
    MMAWeekly.com


    MMAWeekly.com was on location from the Palms Casino and Resort in Las Vegas for the Ultimate Fighter 7 Live Finale weigh-ins where all the fighters made weight.

    Amir Sadollah rematches C.B. Dollaway for the title of "The Ultimate Fighter," while former UFC middleweight titleholder Evan Tanner takes on Ultimate Fighter season 3 winner Kendall Grove in the main event.

    Tanner tipped the scales at 186 pounds with a full beard and sunglasses looking like the unabomber. Jeremy Stephens and Spencer Fisher had to be separated after an intense stare down where Stephens lunged at Fisher.

    Diego Sanchez appeared extremely focused while Matthew Riddle took to the stage with a retirement plaque for Dante Rivera stemming from Rivera's comments on the show saying he would retire if he lost to Riddle.

    WEIGH-IN RESULTS:

    -Evan Tanner (186) vs. Kendall Grove (186)
    -Amir Sadollah (185) vs. C.B. Dollaway (185)
    -Diego Sanchez (170) vs. Luigi Fioravanti (171)
    -Spencer Fisher (156) vs. Jeremy Stephens (155)
    -Dante Rivera (185) vs. Matthew Riddle (185)
    -Josh Burkman (170) vs. Dustin Hazelett (170)
    -Marvin Eastman (186) vs. Drew McFedries (185)
    -Matt Arroyo (170) vs. Matt Brown (170)
    -Dean Lister (185) vs. Jeremy Horn (186)
    -Tim Credeur (185) vs. Cale Yarbrough (186)
    -Rob Yundt (185) vs. Rob Kimmons (185)

  • description was pretty accurate about evan's weigh-in look. i've read some comments from fans on the mma forums calling him the "vanilla kimbo slice" :D

  • last evan tanner post and then i will stop, i swear! :D

    his latest blog is pretty interesting. it's kind of like a tag along with a fighter for a day leading up to the fight. it's interesting to get some insight into what goes on behind the scenes in the days leading up to an event. says he will post more behind the scenes photos from the weigh-ins when he gets a chance.

    also, he had to lose 11 pounds between 11 am and 4 pm! :eek:

    i'm fading in and out of the marathon here on a lazy saturday. hoping to get a good nap in this afternoon and be "chipper" for this evening. :)

    hi guys! here are my picks for tonight.... pretty similar to J Bully's!

    i'm trying to use a little reverse psychology with my CB pick! ;)

    i wish you guys could all be here for the Hip show...... we'll be on our way soon, but Colleen has a few chores to finish up on the farm before we head out.... so i thought i'd check in here before we left.

    the UFC show is set to tape at home! so i'll be watching tomorrow.... i'll have to stay outta here and the fantasy page until then!

    good luck to everyone with their picks!

    All Manador is coming back, this time!

    VAS-Y TEAM TANNER!! :D

    ps. "chipper"... LMAO.

    Have fun at the Hip tonight, Ceg! We'll miss you in here! :)

    Our picks are pretty similar ... you'll probably beat me by 2 points AGAIN!! ;)

    ps Shamrock's Twin got his picks in for the event. I'm actually excited to watch the fights on his super giganto tv.
