Discuss.

Good match up and hard to call. Would like to see Bigfoot win though.

[MMA_scientist]

Agree it is hard to call that one. If Bigfoot shows up in top form, he should win I think. But if the Bigfoot that fought Cormier shows up, Browne wins.

I would like to see Browne win though.

[Mr. IWS]

I am really starting to Like Browne the more I see of him. Seems like a really good athlete, and gets better every time out. I kinda like him in this one.

[SPX]

Browne is pretty good. I remember I had 5u on Kongo when they fought and I was pretty surprised by how well Browne was able to do against him. Just looking at him, Browne doesn't look like the kind of guy who would be a top heavyweight, but I guess he's becoming one. He looks like one of those guys who'd win a few and lose a few and then probably get cut.

With all that said, I think I very slightly favor Bigfoot. That may be the fan in me talking, though. I would like to see Bigfoot get the W here.

Scientist, why do you want to see Browne win? I've never seen him do any BJJ.

Scientist, why do you want to see Browne win? I've never seen him do any BJJ.

yep, because I only like JJ fighters. I only like a couple of fighters that you would probably consider "bjj" guys... most of my favorite fighters throughout time are wrestler/brawlers.

But in this case, it is not that I like Browne, it is that I do not like Bigfoot.

[SPX]

Okay, well why don't you like Bigfoot? The dude's always seemed cool and amiable to me.

because of the steroids

I think that if you're going to let steroids influence your fandom then you're going to end up without any fighters you can be a fan of.

I am fine with that.

UFC official tells me the fight between Jake Ellenberger and Jay Hieron will now take place as the co-main of UFC on FX 5, Oct. 5.

Old, but still good.

What's particularly interesting about that video is that it was apparently dude's laugh that clued Sonnen into the fact that the program was on the air. So I guess that's his on-air laugh.

[zY|]

I'm quite sure Sonnen planned it.

[SPX]

Maybe, but I'm not sure. His reaction really seems pretty natural to me.

[zY|]

Dude, it's Señor Chael P Sonnen! Everything is a bit.

Browne -280 Bigfoot +200

Really? Why do people think Travis Browne is good?

[SPX]

Undefeated. Fought to a draw with Kongo. KOd Struve. Has a win over Sylvia-killer Abe Wagner.

I actually think he's pretty good. He's at least better than you would think by just looking at him. I'm not sure about him beating Bigfoot, though. And if by some chance he ever fights JDS or Cain then he'll get slaughtered.
