Quick picks:
Overeem v. Brett Rogers – Hmm.. interesting matchup, two strikers. I’m picking Overeem over Rogers.
Antonio Bigfoot Silva v. Andre Arlovski – Man, I want Andre to win this… I’m hoping his chin is good tonight.
Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza v. Joey Villasenor – Jacare by submission
Roger Gracie v. Kevin Randleman – I’m a Randleman fan…but I think he’s getting submitted tonight.
Bah… Dana White is pissed. In fact, according to Sherdog, Dana White’s exact words were “Fedor is a f***ing joke. He turns down a huge deal and the opportunity to face the best in the world to fight nobodies for no money!”
I guess StrikeForce agreed to the M-1 Global co-promotion deal.
Seriously, his possible opponents now are Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, Brett Rogers, who am I missing? Gilbert Yvel, Roger Gracie?
Dude I’ve been looking forward to this fight more than most in recent months. I’m also hoping Nick Diaz kicks that ass jiu-jitsu style to defend his Sensei.
Alistair Overeem in the audience. Wasn’t he just in the UFC audience earlier this year?
Brett Rogers vs. Abongo Humphrey to start the show off.
Round one is going pretty good until Herb Dean stops to warn Brett Rogers about grabbing Humphrey’s dreadlocks. I say bullshit. Humphrey was in a thai clinch, and Rogers just about can’t help but get a palm full of hair when he’s clinching. Herb Dean took a point away from Rogers. Crappy call, imo.
Kevin Randleman in the house, hugging it out with Mickey Rourke.
Round two sees Brett Rogers crush Abongo Humphreys with knees before referee Herb Dean stops the fight, giving Brett Rogers a TKO victory, and he remains undefeated.
Hitoni Akano vs. Cris Cyborg
Cyborg kicked Hitoni Akanos ass for 2.5 rounds before getting a TKO victory in round 3.
Benji Radach vs. Scott Smith
Someone is getting knocked out in this fight. It’s over now, and Scott Smith was getting his ass kicked for most of the fight, and landed a gnarly right hand to comeback and win by knockout over Benji Radach…LOL @ Smith thanking mis masseuse Tom Atencio at the post-fight interview.
Gilbert Melendez vs. Rodrigo Damm
I’d like to see Rodrigo Damm win this. But he didn’t. Gilbert Melendez got the KO victory in round 2. Rodrigo Damm got KTFO. Melendez is now the interim lightweight champion.
Nick Diaz vs. Frank Shamrock
One thing you can be sure of, is that Nick Diaz will give a middle finger at some point tonight. Round one was good, I score it in Diaz’ favor. He got the fight to the ground and controlled it, even gaining mount and throwing down some punches at the end of the round.
Nick Diaz TOTALLY dominated round 2 and got a TKO victory after making Shamrock’s face a bloody mess and dropping him to the mat against the canvas, where Shamrock didn’t defend himself and the referee had to stop the fight. Diaz immediately offered his hand to help Shamrock off the mat. Contrary to what I said previously, I haven’t seen Diaz give anybody the bird yet.
