I had never seen that. I must admit, that is pretty damn sexy.

Anderson is a creonte. McDonalds trained him and now he is with BK.

I will BOL at that as well. But let us not forget that Munoz dropped Okami. Chael also said "When was the last time you remember Okami getting hit clean?" And I was like, in his last fight when he was the first guy ever to get dropped by Munoz.

That said, I bet on Okami and I hope he pulls it out. It will make things a hell of a lot more interesting. That title needs some action and Okami won't be able to hang on to it for very long.

How can you root against someone who is this amazing?

An interesting point though -- will Shogun quit if he's getting beaten? He almost cost me my "Jones by TKO" bet by tapping out to strikes.

He took probably the worst beating I've ever seen. Forrest doesn't even have a quarter of the firepower of Jones.

Also, Forrest clearly didn't tap to Rashad. You can't tap when you're unconscious.

[SPX]

I wonder if they intentionally wanted to set Anderson up with Okami for this card because they think Okami has little chance of actually winning.

Furthermore, I will BOL like a boss if Okami wins.

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, i probably agree with that. The good news is that it is not ALL on them, like some of the other overseas cards, where there is only 1 english star or only 1 aussie star. The pressure is at least spread out over 14 guys.

I think Anderson is the only guy with a lot of pressure on him.

[poopoo333]

I don't agree with the other stuff, I do think the pressure is heavy on the Brazilian fighters. I thought this before Mma live too

Yeah, that is fair. But I am thinking the home crowd wills him to the bell if he is thinking about folding up.

[MMA_scientist]

Chael had a point last night, this is a homefield disadvantage for the fighters. The pressure is on.

NOthing Chael says is true. Did he have a point when he said that Okami had the advantage in 4 of 5 areas? Okami has the submission edge? Really? Really Chael? Okami has 1 submission in his entire career and it was 6 years ago. Meanwhile, Silva just subbed you. I want to think Chael is a troll, but he would have to be very dedicated to actually go on ESPN and troll like that, I think he is just fucking retarded.

[Svino]

Forrest can't hurt him standing, he really only subbed him last time because Shogun quit.

[Svino]

I honestly don't think he thinks that way. You would think the last thing he wanted to do was lose the title but he came in unprepared and looked like shit after the first minute and a half of the fight. There is no underestimating Shoguns hubris at this point.

That may have just had a lot to do with Jones being a total beast.

[poopoo333]

Forrest is gonna win a decision if he wins. I got that motherfucking shit at +500something. Chael had a point last night, this is a homefield disadvantage for the fighters. The pressure is on.

[MMA_scientist]

Forrest can't hurt him standing, he really only subbed him last time because Shogun quit. I guess he could get a GNP stoppage, but I doubt it. Forrest by decision seems the most likely for him. I do think Shogun could stop Forrest though either with a shot standing or through gnp, I agree that Shogun is not likely to sub him.

[SPX]

Coleman won by TKO when Shoguns arm broke during a takedown. That's not exactly finishing an opponent.

I'm talking about their last fight.

Wasn't Shogun basically on Death's Door cardio wise? I think the only thing that saved him was that Coleman was also gassed.

[SPX]

Fuck it.

Hedged out of my Shogun bet. Took Griffin ITD for .5u at +600.
