Dana was on Jim Rome this week and he said that the first three fights sucked but it gets good after that.

Wes Sims must fuck up bad later this season because he has been invisible apart from the start of the first episode when the picks were made. They show what looks like a confrontation in the house next week that seems to revolve around Wes so I guess he will finally get screen time.

I have been waiting for Wes to do something dumb and get some screen time. He can't stay invisible for long. lol

Rumor from Japan is that Aoki is thinking about coming to the UFC. After his fight the other night he said he wants to fight BJ Penn and Kenny Florian. He said if he becomes like BJ, he can die happy.

[tyven]

i hope BJ beats that ass

no rainbow pants = an unhappy Aoki

Why hasn't the Gracie Hunter retired? Fighters gotta learn when to pack it in.

God damn he took that guys fucking arm off.

[Rhyis.]

His recent kimura against that boxer was actually kinda funny to watch. I imagine those are the type of fights he's going to get now... The type he can't possibly lose lol

[Blarg]

Aoki talks about wanting to fight top ufc lightweights, bj in particular, after every fight. The dude is a huge mma fan as well as a fighter which is pretty interesting since a lot of fighters seem to be indifferent to watching the sport.

I thought Sakuraba was older but the guy is only 40, definitely been in a ton of wars that make him seem much older.

Colemans replacement vs tito is going to be forrest. I don't really like the match up, in the sense of what I think both fighters need not really in how good the fight is in itself. I think you need both of them to have a win, tito being a draw and needs his fights to have a contendership feel to them, he also lost his last fight so beating up coleman would have been perfect to set up his next fights. Forrest has 2 losses in a row and really doesn't need a third one, I don't like when fights are made when good fighters on a string of losses keep getting really hard fights, sometimes they need a mid tier fight to get their confidence back.

[FNH]

sounds exciting a rematch to their earlier fight when forrest was still "new". Should be good.

[Brill Weave]

I was on the fence about Forrest fighting Tito again. But after Forrest's antics against Silva, he needs to get back in the ring and prove he's not a headcase.

[noblemountain]

I like the fight, I don't believe in "easy" fights. Fuck that, get in there and prove you wanna be where you are. It was such a close decision the first time also.

Shogun, Rampage, Evans, Silva.... I think he has proven where he wants to be

Look where Wand is for stepping up so many times, it's hard to justify him as a big draw after so many losses in a row. They shouldnt let Forrest go that way imo

I think wand is a perfect case of a guy who just needs easier fights. It seems like if someone was a top fighter they are given top fights again and again even when they have shown to not truly being at that level anymore. Same thing should be with Chuck, I hear people talk about him fighting anderson and I just think that is exactly what he doesn't need.

It's even worse when a fighter gets 1 big upset win and then from then on gets top guys only and becomes a .500 fighter because the guy just isn't at that level yet and is never given a break.

WEC card on tonight, the main event isn't the highest caliber for name value but it will likely be fight of the night. Cerrone has cardio for days and is really exciting, I think he can take the fight in the later rounds, probably getting out wrestled early before he beats henderson by attrition.
