The fights were great, well, not so great for some of the Canadians... It was another wild weekend spent with my friends, partying, promoting, mingling... good times.

Here are a couple of my buddies. They were a big hit. We almost signed with Malki Kawa.

Looks like GSP shot down a potential super fight with Silva. I will be not be happy if he ends up getting KO'd by Hendricks and then we never get to see him fight Silva. Though maybe this will lead to a Silva vs Jones fight, which might be even better.

I know I saw Jones say he wouldn't fight Silva either. Cause there is to much respect from there friendship. Such BS. I'd fight my brother to see if I'm better that day. I'd still respect him reguardless.

Well Silva said he'd be open to it after a fight with GSP, so that's something I guess.

I think Jones and Silva are saying that to build up a big payday.

Looks like the next season of TUF will start on Jan 22nd. It will come on Tuesdays at 9 pm now. Can't wait!

[b1adesofcha0s]

Also, I can't wait for UFC on Fox this Saturday. The main card is pretty stacked. Looking forward to BJ Penn hopefully returning to dominance and Shogun taking care of Gustaffson on his way to a title shot.

I feel BJ has lost it for good. But you never know. As long a Diaz gets his a$$ kicked that all I'm concerned with. I hate those two brothers.

Like a lot of other times, it sounds like he's motivated again. Of course we won't find out till Saturday whether or not that's true.

[speedfreek]

It's getting close fight fans. Funny how Dana puts on a good free card to mess with one of Boxing's more promising nights.

Here is my take....

If BJ is motivated that will be the day. However even if he comes prepared for this fight it won't last. He has never been a gym rat and never will be. He is kind of like Hendo in this regard. The last time Hendo was asked about cardio he answered," I haven't ran in 10 years!" I am a BJ fan but the kid may prove to be too much. If BJ doesn't end it early I do not see him weathering the storm. Prove me wrong BJ!

Now the other big fight on this card besides Bendo and Diaz is Shogun and the Swede. Gustafsson has been on a tear. If he gets past Shogun then he is ready for Jones. Or give him Machida then Jones. Either way if he wins one or two more fights I want to see what he can do with Jones. He has the length to not have to get inside like everyone else has to do with Jones. So it will make for an interesting match up once Gustafsson is ready and battle tested.

Bendo vs Diaz. I want Diaz to win. Hate em or love em. The Diaz brothers come to fight. Nate Diaz quote: " But he's (Bendo) what I call a round-winner. That's not me. I am a fighter." I used to like Bendo but when he couldn't destroy Frankie Edgar who I absolutely hate. He lost me. Plus when you are posterized for eternity with the Pettis Cage Walk! Remember everyone has a gameplan until you get hit in the face!

anyone hear they just announced nick diaz vs GSP instead of anderson silva?

also ronda rousey headlines UFC 157 vs liz carmouche... i bet dana would have stroke if rousey lost as they pretty much developed the UFC women's belt around her.

but yeah more than all that im excited about saturdays card its overall a better than card than PPV at the end of the month

i got mcdonald , shogun( thats my upset pick of the night) and henderson

i really want diaz to win as bendo comes off a bit too self righteous to me.. the diaz brothers might be the two worst PR guys in the history of sports as nate is so hood he cant string a sentence together but man i love to watch them fight lol i think henderson will be too technical for diaz and is too smart to get hurt by the pitter patter diaz punches

gustafsson and mcdonald sort of are on the same upward path vs their opponents downward for BJ and barely holding steady of shogun but i say if one of them is going to stop the rising stars out of those two i say shogun is due for one of his KO wins. i think BJ is mentally done as a fighter but i mean he could have one more left...we will see

[SPOHN]

Damn I hate Diaz. I hope for a KO kick to the head.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Not happy about the GSP vs Diaz fight, but it's what GSP specifically asked for so I'm sure it will be fun to watch. I hate the Diaz brothers and I hope they both get KO'd.

Apparently Dana White said that the winner of the Shogun vs Gustaffson fight will get the next LHW title shot. What I think he's really doing is setting himself up with another possible #1 contender in case of injury. So you could have either the winner of this fight or the winner of Hendo vs Machida as potential challengers for the title.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Wow did you guys see that KO by Ricci on TUF? He looks like he's gonna have a good career in the UFC, very well rounded fighter.
