My picks:

Jones vs Machida
Mir vs Nogueira
Ortiz vs Nogueira
Hominick vs Jung

Undercard kind of sucked tonight incidentally. The one last week was amazing.

Mir almost got knocked out but recovered quickly enough to overpower big nog and get a kimora. Awesome technical fight.

Every time they show it, the crowd goes "oooohhhh" LMAO.

Of course, I won't look at it. Makes me cringe.

Man, that was tough to watch. I've got to tell you I agree with Joe. They didn't focus on it in the replay, but I swear Mir was out for about 5 seconds there on the ground. I'd say that was a gift. There was a period there that he was lifeless.

It was amazing...like pulling on a wishbone. You struggle for a couple seconds, but when it gives, it gives quick. Crazy break.

Feel bad for nog. That kind of break could be it for him in the ufc.


I wanna see some crazy ass karate tonight with flips and sh!t.

Holy shit Big Nog's arm is fucked. That shit is so nasty.

He was looking good until that point. Unlike most, I gave him little chance and had Mir with an easy win.

Now for Jones vs Machida, I fucking hope Jones gets knocked out but I wouldn't be surprised if the fight turns out similar to his other fights with Bader, Shogun, and Rampage (or heck his earlier ones).

Extremely surprised an experienced and bad ass black belt like minatoro couldn't finish him in those 5 sec...

Machida's got his Machida goin on...what made him a champ by being so difficult for his opponent.

Jones is 'befuddled' so far. :D
