UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

[Luke]

At least my mom charges for her shit. Yours just gives it away to everyone for free.

LOL

Talked to Gerald Harris earlier today. He said he's going to beat Sakara. So I guess that settles it then.

Dan Miller will replace Phil Baroni at UFC 118 against John Salter

[SPX]

Interesting. Well Dan Miller either buys himself some breathing room or gets his walking papers.

Salter for all intents and purposes probably is also at risk of being cut. He lost to Harris and got a fluke win/NC against Macdonald.

Easy win for Miller IMO.

James Toney

"The person I wanted to fight right off the bat was Brock Lesnar," Toney said in a live chat with MMAFighting.com. "He's a champion, I'm a champion and I wanted to do it. But they said I couldn't do that. Then they said, 'How about Kimbo?' But I said, 'That's too easy. That's like kicking a little kid's butt.' But then Randy started saying he wanted to fight me, so I said, 'OK, you're the first one getting it.'"

[SPX]

^^^ Ha ha, yeah, okay.

I wouldn't have minded seeing him versus Kimbo. If Kimbo was smart and immediately worked the ground game then he could win, and that would be a lot more humiliating for Toney than losing to Couture.

Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda on tap for UFC 118

http://bit.ly/cJlU13


guess this is where Maia is going

[MMA_scientist]

^^ boo. Maia has nothing to gain from that matchup. Miranda is a good grappler in his own right though, should be a good ground fight, which Maia will win.

Mario is a pretty good wrestler though, Maia will probably have to beat him standing as well or guard pull him.

What are Miranda's hands like?

What are Miranda's hands like?

They're black.

[Mr. IWS]

What are Miranda's hands like?

They're black.

I literally busted out laughing at this.

The lulz. This brings them.

[MMA_scientist]

I had 2.9u on Lauzon and I was kind of regretting it.

[MMA_scientist]

I had 3u, I was going to go to 5. Lauzon was going to take Etim down and whup on him.

[SPX]

Interesting on Sakara/Harris.

I hope Harris fucks this new clown up.
