May 7, 201412 yr I'm so stoked for Brown vs. Silva. That fight is going to have mushroom clouds rising from it.
May 8, 201412 yr Horiguchi/Montague is the fight I'm looking forward to the most from this card. I'm particularly looking forward to see what Horiguchi's flyweight debut is like. I think had he not signed with the UFC and made the drop, he'd probably win the current VTJ 125 lbs. tournament.
May 9, 201412 yr I like the Silva/Brown fight, just not the booking. Seems like a step down for Brown on his current win streak and Silva being inconsistent throughout his UFC run.
May 10, 201412 yr larkin wore an Ultimate Warrior mask at the weigh-ins. well, looks like i'm rooting for him...
May 11, 201412 yr Author Is Ed Herman the worst fighter under ufc contract? I suppose Natal is now Not even close. Not even.
May 11, 201412 yr I'm a little out of touch... Who am I forgetting? Not including the wimmin 95% of the UFC WMMA fighters are better than both Herman and Natal.
May 11, 201412 yr And yes, that is a real thing. Best tweet about the mascot: Marc Raimondi @marc_raimondi 18m You guys are laughing, but that Chuck Liddell mascot is going to fight Tito Ortiz in Bellator in the fall.
May 11, 201412 yr Author I'm a little out of touch... Who am I forgetting? Not including the wimmin Off the top of the dome...Rafaello Oliveira
May 11, 201412 yr One of the highlights from the prelims, Johnny Eduardo knocking out Eddie Wineland: Also Kyoji put on a nasty beating on Darrell specifically in the second round where he pulled a Pat Barry and stumbled to the stool at the end of the round.
May 11, 201412 yr Author Dave Galera, the guy who lost to Royston Wee, may be the worst fighter to enter the UFC since the late teens. I'm pretty sure he would lose to Reinhardt. Not a doubt in my mind.
May 11, 201412 yr Author Roop beat a UFC title contender by KO. Funch was a decent prospect (New England standards at least) at one point. He got put in the woodchipper though. Plus, Funch isn't in the UFC anymore.
May 11, 201412 yr Ah yes, I forgot he meant currently in the UFC. Yeah, Galera is the equivalent of Funch. Undefeated, local prospects. Those guys from TUF China are pretty horrible too.
May 11, 201412 yr Author Potts has the worst chin in the history of MMA. Vinny Magalhaes got knocked out like 3 to 4 times by Anthony Perosh.
