The Red Reuben

The streak continues!

I missed the show.

Reading Meltzer's review, it sounds like it was for the best. Still, anything worth DLing?

Thank goodness. You said yesterday that you were just starting to get into it. Based on what I've read of the play by play, this was the worst event of the year.

I'd download Couture/Toney for the enjoyment, as well as Diaz/Davis as it came off as a pretty good fight.

Yeah, the easy bets tonight are Penn, Couture, Lauzon, Maia, Miller, and I'm hoping I'm not underestimating Maynard when I throw him in that list.

EDIT: I mean, Florian in that list. I'm assuming Maynard won't be able to handle Ken-Flo's striking. Kenny to win.

If you're looking for value, bet on Davis.

John L. Sullivan. I actually have a fake page for him on Facebook~

EDIT: I think I misunderstood the question. Doh!

Even with the technical error, I give the nod to the first entrant. An ad for the second is an interesting idea, but the text just doesn't seem to fit. Entrant #1 fits the theme, and just looks better, in my opinion.

That being said, I'd like to see another battle.

Yes, Lesnar is clearly the top Heavyweight in the world.

Actually, Franklin is a draw. I'm not sure how you can say he's not. Every casual fan I know loves him.

Sure, he isn't considered "elite" anymore, but he's still a good fighter with a name.

The Princess and the Frog does not deserve to be on that list. Hoping "Up" takes that one.

I love watching movies, but "Bruno" was one to get 0 stars from me.

Absolute trash.

Hah, I recently saw that interview he did with ... Kimmel, I think, where he mentioned that. This was somewhere before UFC 86. I looked it up a few days ago, and found nothing. I guess he did get the part after all!

I did not want to see Jardine beat Rampage before.

HOWEVER.

It has been officially stated that if Jardine beats Rampage, Machida gets the next title shot.

God, I hope Jardine steals this.

Most people were disappointed.

I actually thought Ortiz did well with his announcing. Surprised the heck out of me. Apparently Mir does all the WEC events, so I'll definitely tune in for the next one.

I'm going to second the "Saturday Night Slammasters" series, AS LONG as they go back to SNSS1 style, and not the sequel style. God, that SUCKED.

I am a huge Bonk fan, and I'd love to see the little caveman return.

I just had one of those moments.

I was messing around with NBA Live '96 for the SNES, and found an "Edit player" option. I thought I'd create some players who weren't already in the game.

I entered "Barkley", and the game made a dinging noise. All of a sudden, Barkley's stats were already entered in! Number, school, skills, position, etc etc. I couldn't believe it!

I've tried about 25 names and NOT ONE has failed. I cannot believe how much time they spent researching who to add! Even the rookies are in here.

I cannot believe it!

My favourite acts were George Sampson and Signature. I really wanted Signature to win, but I'm fine with George. His "Singing in the Rain" act was absolutely amazing.

My third and fourth would've been Kate and Gin taking third, and Andrew Johnston taking fourth.

It sounds as if Andrew Muir got completely screwed.

I never understood how Escala was supposed to be this breathtaking act. I would have voted "no" on the very first night. Maybe I don't understand the talent involved? I don't know.

Either way, that was a fun fight, and I cannot wait for Lawler/Smith II.

Kimbo didn't do too poorly for a guy with little to no ground game.

Also, at first I thought it'd get stopped in the 2nd, but there were times during UFC 84 where I thought the same, so I cannot claim conspiracy. The ref will always have eye contact with the fighter, so they can see if they are trying to defend and what not.

Either way, I hope they got a good rating.

As long as they don't change the IN-CAGE product, I don't care.

So did Brett Rogers entrance basically ruin all the legitimacy UFC has built up for MMA in the past 4 years?

I say it got close.

Nah. It wasn't as bad as we originally thought.

It would have been bad, had Rogers lost. But hey. Casual fans may remember this guy.

Busta Rhymes gets more press than the undefeated fighter.

... I didn't like this at first.

... I think it's a nice touch. I approve.

I'm a fan of this 42 year old. He's looking good!

Good question.

This is just for the prelims, as far as I know.

I've got cable at my parent's, so I'll watch there.

In the fight that just ended, how did his arm not snap? Great heart from the wrestler.

EDIT: Frank Shamrock will be doing a show on the stream following the MAIN broadcast.

This is the official stream for it, and IS intended for free viewing: http://live.proelite.com/event/51

I'm also interested in the female fight because I never have been before, and I was told this would be good.

Lawler/Smith should be good, and Kimbo winning will be fun.

It's the first MMA show on Primetime. In my opinion, it warrants, at least, a TEST thread.

Is anyone else having trouble with CBSsports.com's Video player?

I wasn't sure about it either, but this match is 100% just for our entertainment. (EDIT: In other words, they aren't designing this fight with the intention of pushing a guy or not. It's a filler match which will also be extremely entertaining. It'd be like having Rich Franklin fighting Nate Marquardt. Two guys who lost to Spider, who won't be getting another shot anytime soon. It's just there for filler, but will also be a great match.) If Brock loses, they'll think of what to do. If Herring loses, all right.

Either way, it's Nog and Mir before anything, and there will be time to build a new #1 around Herring, Vera, or Werdum. There will be challengers for Nog/Mir regardless.

Either way, I was EXTREMELY disappointed about Coleman being hurt, but now, this card is going to be so much better. GSP/Fitch + Florian/Huerta + Lesnar/Herring is better than just Lesnar/Coleman and Florian/Huerta, in my opinion.
