UFC 104 Machida vs Rua Sat Night

Yo Peet! Congrats on the girl. How about Miesha? Actually, I sat down with Miesha Tate on Saturday. She was in town for a submission wrestling seminar. I have never struggled so hard to keep eye contact in my life. She had just finish with a photo shoot and was all dolled up. Short dress, plunging neckline… I knew if she caught me taking a peek she’s TKO me.

Stefan Struve vs. Chase Gormley
Struve is tall. Watched Star Wars in Concert last night. It exceeded my expectations.

Razak Al-Hassan vs. Kyle Kingsbury
Al-Hassan by dec. I took a beating on the SSF for my “no cheese” thread. I thought it was funny. Some people take things so serious. Trust me, no one is eating more cheese than me. I’ve had extended conversations with my dad and cousin about the Saints this year that were non-existent in the past. Love our boys. Really enjoying the effort Sed Ellis is giving. Watching Thomas and Bell run between the tackles brings a tear to my eye. I’m going to run down Meachem (Tulsa boy) in the offseason and ask him what it’s like to be a SB champ :17:

Rob Kimmons vs. Jorge Rivera
Rivera by clinch and knees against the cage. I’m thinking about writing a column “Dating Game” style. Instead of bachelors I’ll have fighters. Instead of winning over someone’s heart, they’ll give answers to win over perspective sponsors. Pretty original I thought.

Yushin Okami (-240) vs. Chael Sonnen (+190)
Okami by decision. A tough fought battle but a win nonetheless. I think Okami would be on the main card if he had a killer nickname. Yushin Kamakazi Okami :shrug:

Antoni Hardonk (-130) vs. Patrick Barry (Even)
This will be featured live on Spike. Barry said when he gets on the main card he’ll bust out the Techo Viking. Does the live Spike broadcast count?

Ryan Bader (-450) vs. Eric Schafer (+330)
Every time I count Schafer out, he pulls off a nice win. Bader trains with CB Dollaway. CB is terrible and overrated. If I were in Vegas I’d put a few on Schafer. Red by Sub.

Spencer Fisher (+190) vs. Joe Stevenson (-240)
I just love watching Fisher fight. I hope he wears Joe out of their feet. Do you know what bugs me about Joe Daddy? Seriously, do you know because I’m not sure… but he does.

Anthony Johnson (-320) vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (+260)
If Kos can catch Yoshida with a vicious KO, what happens when Johnson connects? I like both fighters but Rumble by TKO. Can you believe the UFC is heading to Austrailia now? Wandy v Sexyama :9: I think the Aussies need to start preparing for a Japanese invasion.

Josh Neer vs. Gleison Tibau
Neer is exciting but Tibau may just lay on him the entire fight. Tibau by dec. How is this on the main card? I see at least 3 other fights I’d consider more :worthy:

Ben Rothwell (+240) vs. Cain Velasquez (-290)
Heavyweights collide! Cain via GnP dec. Did you see how Kimbo’s posse and family were allowed to watch his TUF fight live in the arena? They’ve calmed down the Kimboness on TUF and I think it makes the show flow better. Still can’t believe how awful Big Wes looked. Maybe Wren is a beast. Who is your favorite so far? I’m still thinking Nelson makes the finals but I’d like to see Junk fight before I pick a second fighter for the finals.

UFC Light Heavyweight Championship
Lyoto Machida (-450) vs. Mauricio Rua (+330)
Peet, nice breakdown. I’ll keep this one short and sweet. Machida by KO in 2nd.
Which UFC title holder is most likely to lose their belt next. I’d say BJ Penn right now because I think Diego Sanchez is going to push BJ’s cardio to the max. Otherwise, I don’t see Silva, Machida, GSP or Lesnar losing for quite some time.
