On the other hand I'm actually looking forward to Nate winning Manuel. There is so much hype over that fight. I was looking at another blog and this one dude was promoting a website sponsored by Burger King. You choose who you think is going to win the fight and then you are entered in a sweepstakes to win tickets to the UFC live fight.

I dont know why but i want to see Pulver beat Penn. Always been partial to MFS fighters even if they can be arrogant d*cks sometimes.But if Penn wins i wont be totally dissappointed.

His head is the perfect height for that. I think Manny could be beat with flying knees or Muay Tai clinch kneelifts. His head is the perfect height for that.

DUH...and where was all of Dana's outrage and disappoint Season 1 when big baby Crippler got shit-faced, cried and punched out the house, behaving a bit below the lofty professional level Dana seems to feel they should maintain whilst pounding TUF supplied Cuervo?? And despite the fact Leban was a huge embarassment as a human being on TUF 1 he's been given way too many chances in the Octagon, I appreciate what Dana has done for the sport but his soapboxing is a bit hard to take at times I don’t get it….Dana locks these guys up in a big house who have no other common interest other than they enjoy fighting more than anything else- with some food, booze, maybe a few Playboys and some cameras and then has a hissy the when the jarhead and the brain damaged king of the street fighters get drunk and FIGHT!!!

Too bad we won't see them (probably). I was thinking, Corey Hill might have originally been scheduled to fight Monstah but had to pull out due to injury, so Dana brought in Garcia to fight him right around the time he cancelled the Marlon/Noah fight (which maybe was replaced by the Sword/Leites fight?)[/quote] i i dont know if you guys watched any of the fights, but emerson is no good.

Being that he is the better wrestler and physcially much stronger so Manny's arm bar submission stuff wouldnt be a real factor. The second obvious fight would have been Nate versus Joe in a battle of the taller skinner dudes, who have well rounded skills. I think this one would have been two close to call.

It's starting to smell like the final concert at band camp....everyone gets a solo. Seriously, it's obvious that Wang is the replacement for Hill. There is no other reason to have that guy on the card. Oh well, at least the pre-fight interview could be interesting if he talks about taking arrows in the back and walking out with his head held high in his hands, or something like that.
