    UFC All Access with Anderson Silva is on Sportsnet Ontario right now for anyone who has it.

    he admits a secret that he sneaks out in the middle of the night, about 48 hours before the fight to eat two big mac's because he used to work at mac donald's and he loves big mac's! :D

    ya i watched that, such a good episode... anderson is such a cool guy, singing and dancing the entire episode, then goes training and still has tons of energy at the end of it. Gotta love how a man that good has stayed so grounded, one of the best role models for up and coming fighters.

    good picks mookie... i think you're going to be right with the split decision in the sherk - griffen match, i should have changed to that. I still think the decision will go to sherk though.

    yeah, that one was a coin flip for me, that's why i went with the split. should be some good scrambles and both guys have good stand up for guys with a wrestling base. griffin has improved a lot on his kickboxing and sherk's hands are tight and technical. it'll be interesting to see who gets the advantage, and where, in this one.

    ya i agree with you there. I think sherk is going to get the better of the stand-up and that's why i went with him. I'm kind of worried about griffen getting the takedown and scoring some good points from there. Should be a good fight though.

    indeed. :)

    not sure if you're following the play by play, leafs, but i couldn't resist as usual. no spoilers, but apparently hermes franca just shoved marcus aurelio prior to the introductions! :eek: i knew there were some ill feelings, but i didn't think hermes would do that. i'll have to wait to see it, but it doesn't sound like the crowd appreciated it too much. (...edit: or maybe it was the action. funny how some PBP's tell the story one way and others have it differently....)

    ya i read that to... i know they used to be student and teacher, but what are the ill feelings from.

    Side note - the leafs are playing amazing tonight and completely out playing the sens :)

    edit: i hope they show this fight, no spoilers but i want to see what happens after the fight is over, apparently those ill feelings are for real

    oh yeah, the game! i was flicking through waiting for the show to come on and running to read the play by play as well.

    no handshake, and a middle finger, i'm assuming? :D i'll have to go back and read the article again, but i think some of it has to do with hermes awarding kurt pellegrino his black belt and either not having permission from marcus, or not having his approval, or something like that. part of it anyway.

    man sherk is a good wrestler... amazing skills he's showing off
    i think sherk was controlling the stand-up pretty well but tyson was landing some really good leg kicks.
    10-9 sherk

    Great first round. I give it to Sherk for the takedowns and landing more punches. But griffin had some good shots too

    sherk won 1st half with the stand-up but then tyson came alive and landed a couple great combos and more good kicks. Still have to give the round to sherk 10-9
