Well that's still more than most Americans know about Brazil. . .

I for one learned a lot from Fast Five

Name one single popular american film that could have taught them more about us than City of God taught us about them.

City of God is so real.

I think Diaz takes this even though I'd much rather see Condit win. UGH.

Becomnig a cop is a good idea. You can make money and a pension.

And die.

[Luke]

And die.

I thought you were telling edmannn to "DIE." I was like " oh no lets not start 2012 this way."

BLOZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't look like it's terribly likely that being a cop will directly lead to your death. There are something like 800,000 law enforcement personnel in the country as of 2006 and statistics show that every 54 hours one of them will die, but about 56% of those are traffic accidents. So about 163 officers die annually but about 91 of those are traffic related. The odds are actually in your favor depending on the area your in.

[SPX]

What I was really saying was that I feel like if you want to be a cop then you need a good reason to do it. Don't just sign up because you need a job and you're not really qualified to do something else. Sign up because you genuinely have that personality type where you want to protect and serve.

Matt Riddle Replaces Amir Sadollah against Jorge Lopez @ UFC 143.

[mike]

Riddle should be able to win that with wrestling control unless he goes stupid and tries to strike.

[poopoo333]

Really liking Diaz in this fight. I think Diaz will outbox Condit if this stays on the feet. I also think Condit might come to grapple and we might see a bit of work against the cage from Condit trying to get Diaz down. I expect Condit to throw lots of kicks (most likely leg kicks) during the fight like Santos did effectively. I wonder if Diaz will try and take Condit down at all? I wish I could have jumped on Diaz @-105

[mike]

I like COndit but I bet Cerrone against the other Diaz too and paid for it. I guess the Diaz brothers boxing style works really well in MMA. COndit should def mix tds into his game plan. I have to rewatch a few condit fights to see how good his head movement is.

Roy Nelson/Fabricio Werdum...how does this play out?

[MMA_scientist]

Roy Nelson/Fabricio Werdum...how does this play out?

To me, this is a lot like Maia/Weidman. Roy is not as good, but he has the takedown edge, and he is probably good enough to not get subbed. It is close standing IMO, and while Werdum won't take any damage on the mat, he may lose a decision while playing on bottom. Werdum may be able to get Roy down, but probably not, and really Werdum does his best work from guard anyway.

Basically, Werdum is better, but if Roy plays the takedown to score game, he could win a decision. That said, there is always the possibility that Werdum catches Roy or Roy clips Werdum with a big shot. I think Werdum will win the striking exchanges, but Roy could definitely land a big shot and change the whole thing.
