Anyone who could sit through a all day event more power to them cause I just wouldn't be able to do that no matter how good the fights were.

 

[Rush]

i would

test cricket matches go from 10am to 6pm and i sit and watch them so it wouldn't be too hard for me.

Wrestlemania is about the longest event I've sat through live and watching on T.V. which was 4 and half hours live and just 4 hours on T.V/cpu.

Guess I'll just talk about it here since there isn't a thread for it but this Cyborg/Diaz fight has been awesome.

 

[Rush]

yeah i got lazy and not many people watch strikeforce anyway

 

[PHX]

I always end up watching since it's easy for me to watch due to it being free on T.V lol. Solid event though Walker was impressive considering dude is 48 and the main event was really fun to watch.

______________

Bellator are building a really solid company. This WW tourney has a pretty great lineup and they're doing the basics right. Really wish Strikeforce could go back to being like this.

 

[Ben]

I'm not familiar with a lot of the guys Bellator brought in, but the last tourney they did had a shit load of good fights, so I'll be following this closely again.

Jay Hieron submits Anthony Lapsley by rear-naked choke at 3:39 of round one.

So happy Bellator is back, as I thought this was another solid card for them, looking forward to this, watch it if you can, you won't be dissapointed.

"I don't know what to expect anymore with the UFC. I'm not on Dana's favorite, uh, fab five, so I don't know. It can go either way. But if it does happen that I get a title shot afterwards, then I have to think about whether I take it depending on who it is and decide on what I want to do. This is a sport and Jones has a pretty good chance of winning this fight and you know, I got him to win it. So if he wins the fight, then I gotta sit down with the team and decide what we do from there. Jones expressed last night in an interview that he would fight me for the title so... I guess if... I mean... I'm no punk, so..."

I believe that there are 2 losers in the case of fighters not wanting to fight their training partners. One of the are the fans of this sport who have missed out on great fights because "mates" can't/won't fight each other. The second is the fighter who has the most to gain, he like most fighters want to be the best and being the best is being a champion.
