Ceaser Gracie's whole camp needs to get out from under ProElite. Like you said, its the 1 big organization, that has no challengers for any of them. That organization has no depth in any divisions. Sheilds, Nick, Gilbert are all taking big risks by fighting unknowns (like you said). They should all just sign with the UFC while their stock is High. u made a great point that it would be much better if they werefighting in DREAM and occasionally fighting for EliteXC...the other way around SUXS!!! Its Officail! I have coined a new word: MMA-Cock-Blocking! Its really pretty accurate! Left me with mma-blue-ballz! lol Kama: U r absolutely right.

The original plan was Bodog Offering Randy 2 million to come out of retirement to fight Fedor. Instead Randy chose to return to the UFC to fight Sylvia for a title shot. Then, that contract wasnt good enough, and the only fight that makes sense is Fedor..... I had it up to hear with Coutture. I am torn between not wanting Couture to get his way and not be allowed to fight Fedor, and Couture Fighting Fedor and recieving the beating of his life! I wasnt trying to discredit Nogueira in my previous post. By now everyone should now how much I appreciate the UFC's heavyweight division being represented by such a legend (Nog) Captain SCUMBAG!!! I hope you made some good money selling your picks to people, Randy! I hope your ugly wife leaves you and takes EVERYTHING!!!!!

Forget the Cobbrey fight, this was the path to a big fight with Mach, and that is a fight I am dying to see. We spent all week singing Gary Shaws praises and now he mma-cock-blocks us! WTF!!! He just wanted some good press for like 3 days for a change, so he probably fabricated the whole story...Fat greedy, boxing promoting pig! I spent like 15 minutes writing a nice puff piece about him earlier this week...IT HAS BEEN RECINDED... "Good Day!.... I say Good Day!" lol Kama Kaze you are so right!

Combine unorganized Japanease way of operations with Nick Diaz is a combo for a let down! I really do hope to see him fight in DREAM eventually. I think there are some good match ups for him in Japan, and I really want to see him fight under the Japanease rules again because although he fougfht in PRIDE, it was in Vegas. I want to see him under the japanease rules bad! I was so happy when I heard that this fight was going to go down, but I had a bad feeling about it.
