What in the world happened to his toe? Looked like someone was lookin to chop it off.

And Meathead vs. nelson? How quick is Nelson gonna finish him off.

Carwin lacks technique but he makes up for that in power and durability. Hopefully he'll have one final fight sometime down the road.

Nelson/Mitrione is a bad fight, but I prefer it to the other choice which was Nelson vs. Kongo.

Lol wow, when I scrolled down to look at that photo at first I saw a little bit of blood on the nail and thought why the hell would you pull out of a fight because of that ..... then I scrolled down. Ouch, that looks insanely painful.

I was actually looking forward to Carwin vs. Nelson so disappointed that yet another injury has ruined the fight. Nelson vs. Mittrione is a shocking fight and I hope Nelson finishes him first round.

Kongo has turned down 2 fights in a row, apparently. Wouldn't be surprised to see him cut soon.

Also, Tom Lawlor did the Shockmaster entrance for his weigh in :

Haha... he did that thing pretty good. Even got the trip, fall, mask fall off, pick up, dust the hands off thing. He just didn't do the double point. But that was pretty good.

As far as Kongo... he knew he was gonna lose against Big Country so he opted out... but Kongo just needs to step up again. The guy still looks freakin scary scariest lookin Frenchmen ... but he just gotta get back in there and fight.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Kongo looks the part...he just cant beat anyone worth beating.

 

[The Cork]

He's also one of the most boring fighters to watch recently.

Still a decent gatekeeper I guess.

 

[Slim]

Yeah he looks the part but just can't deliver. Him being dropped wouldn't be a loss. But he is rather boring. The last thing exciting he did was that comeback win against Pat barry.

 

[Troy]

I still think that he would be a better option than Matt Mittrione especially since Kongo beat Mittrione in Mittrione's last fight. I guess nothing can be done if he keeps turning down fights.

It was great seeing Tom Lawlor as the Shockmaster, especially since so few people would have actually got the reference.

 

[Deezy]

Kongo? Nope, don't want to watch him knee guys in the bnalls.

Few fight announcements

Todd Duffee returns to the UFC to replace Matt Mitrione against Phil De Fries at UFC 155.

Erick Silva vs. Jay Hieron added to UFC 156

 

[Slim]

So how long will Todd Duffee last in the UFC this time? How long til he gets KOd again?

 

[No More Sorrow]

I think he'll be able to take this fight here De Fries, don't see him making much of an impact..again.

 

[The Cork]

Why is Mitrione out anyway?
