Read Benavidez and Mighty Mouse will move to 125, sure one of those two will be the champ

As for the rest of your guys crap:

Poopoo yellow................BOLZ

Pacman is filipino not Mexican

X nice write up on UFC 7

And

I'll never take stock advice from IWS

The information is just not available to us regular guys. Each company has a whole team of accountants trying to make the company look better than it really is, and if you try to follow analyst predictions (the equivalent of betting touts) by they time they are all hot on a stock, their hype has already been priced in and it is on its way down.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to that. I've been reading a bit about behavioral economics lately and how it relates to investing.

Terry Odean wrote a short summary article in Forbes a while ago that is pretty good.

BOL at 225 pound division. As if the HW division doesn't suck enough ass, as is. Let's split it in half.

As for 125, I'm sure there are plenty of 115 pound Shooto queers who would love the opportunity.

They can do whatever they want with the midgets. I'd rather they didn't add 125, but I would lose a lot of interest in MMA if they split the HW division.

Behavioral economics is the one "academic" subject that really interests me. If I could go back in time, I would have studied that instead. I actually wrote my thesis a course "The Law and Economics" and then applied the principles to traffic light cameras, which were just coming out then, trying to predict the effects. I need to go look around and see if i was at all accurate.

Anyway, it is pretty interesting stuff and good economists can basically predict the future.

Pacman is filipino not Mexican

the joke, you missed. I do realize that neither Pac nor poopoo are mexican. Although "Wong" is an hispanic surname as far as I know.

[poopoo333]

Serious though, LOTS of people mistaken me for a Mexican, sometimes Hawaiian.

[MMA_scientist]

I know, you do look sort of mexican or samoan or something. You could pass for just about anything other than caucasian. Have you ever gotten randomly selected at the airport?

I haven't been at an airport since I was 13 or so...so no
