It is so refreshing to see bias-free journalism.

“Penn was winning the fight but sustained serious rib damage!”
“…however, you can argue that Penn could’ve won all three of the fights that he lost.”
Etc,etc, etc.

It is clear you are a BJ fan. I am too. But to display it so prominently? It is fine to be a fan. I could only hope most people putting in the work to write the articles are big fans of a sport and have enthusiasm, not just assigned to its coverage. But is it a writer’s place to make excuses about injuries or question the judges more for propaganda than for purpose of sparking debate? And Sherk lasted five grueling rounds with Hughes. But no mention that if one round swung to Sherk in the judges eyes, he potentially wins the decision three rounds to two and is WW champion. I’m just saying…if you’re gonna play devil’s advocate.

Anyway, you asked for criticisms and that jumped out at me. Seriously, thanks Chris for the articles. Keep up the good work!

one thing is for sure, Tito will do the right thing. I mean he could beat Wanderlei, Forrest, Evans, Jardine, and Shogun.. he just needs to believe in his standup more he tries too hard for the takedown sometimes like against Evans he should throw more punches with bad intentions and then maybe go for a takedown…

With the kind of money that Ortiz is asking for, how could EliteXC (a company already on very thin ice financially) afford him? Elite XC will likely go bankrupt in the next year or so and the UFC or Mark Cuban will buy them out.

Thanks for the comments guys. I honestly cant wait for this card. Ive never looked forwards to a fight as much as BJ/Sherk. This is the kind of fight that can change MMA forever, and very well could be considered the greatest MMA fight of all time.
