mookie's on the "pseudo"-Pit and has a UFC 94: St. Pierre-Penn II thread up already.
LBC0226? i spoke to him via PM here. I think he's got a hactic life with family and kids, unlike the rest of us slackers. lol

I'll try to help out with the thread. I'm glad UFC93 is at 3PM local time for me, that way i have enough time to torrent the show later on the might.

I got Rua and Franklin winning their matches, I don't know about the other guys. But we shall see...

hey longrd...

i'll have to check out this "pseudo"-Pit that you speak of... what's the address if you don't mind me asking... yup that's the LBC i'm talking about... ya, family and kids, still too young for that yet lol...

ya i'm glad it's on at 3pm so i watch it then and then still go out at night. i might make a couple comments on here so i hope nobody minds, if you do i'll try to lay off the spoilers

i've had a hard time with the hendo/franklin match, went with hendo cause i think he can control the clinch more and i rich has had some problems with that in the past (mind you it was anderson silva he was fighting)

should be a good card, but more looking forward to ufc 94, even ufc 97 even more (montreal here i come)

edit: found the "pseudo"-Pit... thanks for letting me know
