  1. Wrestling Cliches

    That's funny because that really always happens, doesn't it? They're an unstoppable force for awhile, a lot of the time get to a World Title shot, lose and then they're basically a jobber. Why is it that they can't seem to keep a real big man as a top guy for long term I wonder? I mean there's...
  2. Week 1

    This will be a very interesting one that could be all over the place if everyone can pick anything, so could be some weird match-ups. Just gotta decide what song to pick out of the many great ones out there.
  3. What's Your Pop Culture Blind Spot?

    LOST is my absolute favorite TV series of all time and I try to get everybody I possibly can to watch it, so... you should watch it! Although you'll probably hate a lot of it like a lot of people, but I'll never understand those people. And Shawshank IS one of the best films ever and should...
  4. What's Your Pop Culture Blind Spot?

    Watch Breaking Bad. Watch Pulp Fiction. Watch Game of Thrones. Watch it all! I don't care as much about Lord of the Rings, but should still see them. I'm kind of with you as far as a lot of fantasy stuff like that goes, hence the not caring as much about Lord of the Rings, and I was also...
  5. UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Because she has a hell of a lot more grappling experience. Do you really think Holly can go five rounds without getting taken down and submitted by Ronda? Unless she knocks her out quick, but to do that she's gotta get awfully close to Ronda and that spells trouble. I just don't see a boxer...
  6. UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    I disagree but we'll see what happens. I will be interested to see who Holly ends up fighting in her debut and how that goes.
  7. UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Why would she need to rush in for a takedown? Honestly I think she'd strike with Ronda and that's what she should do. That's why I think she is the biggest threat because she's well-rounded, she can outstrike Rousey and she has power not many women in the division do and while Holly does have...
  8. UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    Cat Zingano. There's no way Holly should get the shot over her. Rousey is apparently taking some time off, so have Cat fight Nunes, if she wins that fight have her fight Ronda for the title and then there should be plenty of time for Holly get a couple of fights in there and prove herself.
  9. UFC inks former boxing champion Holly Holm for Fight contract.

    I definitely think she needs a couple of big fights before getting a shot. I really need to see her in the UFC against the best girls in the world before I can consider her even a remote threat to Ronda.
  10. Urijah Faber wants Kid Yamamoto next, talks fighting TJ Dillashaw.

    But that's why Faber's a fighter and not a matchmaker. :p
  11. UFC 178 books Tim Kennedy vs Yoel Romero.

    Yeah but then you have to deal with the explosiveness of Romero and one shot from him can end it all. But if he can keep it standing and move in and out and avoid that, while mixing in takedowns (if he can take him down) than that may be the way to go. Wouldn't stand up for too long or get too...

  13. Urijah Faber wants Kid Yamamoto next, talks fighting TJ Dillashaw.

    Weidman, Hendricks and Dillashaw all had shown they had a lot more to offer than Kid when those happened though. Kid is 37, lost 5 of his last 6, and should have been cut or retired by now, so it's a different situation. Sure anything can happen and sure maybe he has a punchers chance, but is...
  14. UFC 178 books Tim Kennedy vs Yoel Romero.

    Kennedy's strong as fuck though, looks and size aren't everything. Look at a fight like Jake Shields vs. Tyron Woodley, which is an EXTREMELY similar fight to this one. You have the very explosive wrestler with heavy hands against the grinder who might not be as exciting but always finds a way...
  15. UFC 176 cancelled following Jose Aldo's withdrawal.

    Yeah I guess, never really thought about the arena thing and didn't know it was at the Staples Center either.
  16. Urijah Faber wants Kid Yamamoto next, talks fighting TJ Dillashaw.

    He does always bring it, but how much does he have to offer anymore? Will he come to fight? Sure. Does he stand a chance at winning or even coming close? I don't think so at all.
  17. UFC 176 cancelled following Jose Aldo's withdrawal.

    I'm really not sure why they totally cancelled it. I mean they have Fight Pass now so they have the ability to put on whatever cards they want on there so why not just have it on Fight Pass instead of PPV, keep it on the same date and have Mousasi and Jacare headline? Just seems like it would...
