Such a crappy card outside of the Jorje fight that got scrapped and the main event.
Big Okami fan, I really hope he wins.

( These german fans are fucking terrible uninformed noobs ).

[Andalusian girls]

Not the greatest level of talent all around but that was a pretty exciting card. Lot of finishes we got to see because Sakara-Riviera was scrapped.

I'm using one of the veetle links since they tend to be good quality but most of those should work.

lol So glad I didn't pay for the Pacquiao fight. With the exception of a lone combination to the ribs Margarito landed on Pacquaio which visibly hurt him, he was never in the fight. The ref should've stopped it in the 10th, Margarito's face was all fucked up and his vision is probably permanently damaged now.

Karo Parisyan and Tyson Griffin on the undercard?

[dudeguy]

They probably don't want to take a chance with Karo having a break down thus ruining the maincard line up. TyGriff has lost two in a row and is fighting someone no one really knows

[Chips]

Machida
Hughes
Harris
Davis
Sotiropoulos

take it to the bank

Nearly all these fights have something interesting about them which is a nice change from ufc 122.

Karo Parisyan and Tyson Griffin on the undercard?

Tyson is fighting Nik Lentz. Captain blanket man... 'Nuff said.

[Xno Kappa]

Going to bet a whole paycheck on Rampage. First round random knockout by Rampage with a +220 odd, shit's going to be so cash.

I hope you aren't being serious, Rampage does very VERY poorly against fighters that don't stand in the pocket and trade with him.

[Thugnificent]

I am not familiar with the whole bolding thing but RAMPAGE AND BJ FTW! Although, I know the other two will win

[EckoGecko]

Machida doesn't do so well with punches to his head. If Rampage can land a clean punch it could be over. Rampage can take some damage to get a shot in.

[Blarg]

rampage threw like 3 punches in his last fight so I think Machida should be fine. Rampage also prefers to plant his feet before he throws which is the opposite of how shogun attacked running forward and was able to land shots.

[EckoGecko]

And one of those just about put Rashad out.

It's going to be an interesting fight to see how Rampage plans to get a hit in on Machida though.

[dudeguy]

Rampage is a straight up boxer for his stand-up so he will probably be way more predictable than Shogun was. The hook may come close but I doubt it makes contact in the fight.

Don't be surprised to see Machida go back to his old point-fighting style that he had pre-Tito. Because of that you should also not be surprised when Machida gets called elusive more times in his fight than Phil Davis is called explosive and athletic by Rogan and Goldberg.
