Definitely watching! Nice detailed open to the discussion thread too. Will move it to "Other Wrestling" though. Having it here will attract LQ posts unfortunately .

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

That's cool man I considered posting it there but wasn't sure if it qualified as 'other wrestling' or not.

Other thoughts on tonight: I hope Werdum knocks Roy Nelson's head off because I don't like that fatass, and I look forward to seeing Koscheck (my favorite HEEL in MMA) putting Mike Pierce to sleep with an uppercut.

Yeah we've sort of used this section to discuss UFC, eventually it'll definitely get its own section.

As for tonight, I'm new to UFC watching so don't know many of them, but I'm a big fan of Diaz brothers already so I'll also be rooting for Nick. Put a site notiec up for this thread too, we have quite a few UFC fans here.

Diaz, Starks & Barao to win. Dunno on the rest.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

So apparently they are debuting a new intro tonight and finally ditching the long played out Gladiator theme

I'm definitely watching it.
Let's hope Condit will rape Diaz.

I''ve told you before @[Crayo], Diaz is a dick

 

[seabs]

I can see Diaz winning tbh. He is a dick but still a very talented fighter.

Nobodys. Riddle was on a season of the UFC Reality Show the Ultimate Fighter a few years back. Never heard of this other guy, but he's got sharp stand up with quick combinations punching and leg kicks
