Not sure if it is just me but i just don't have a feel for this card. Leaning to Yvel and Cole Miller. Tough to know what kind of shape Yvel is in but he can stand with Junior if in shape. Not your typical New Years eve card but it is a card. I like Rashard also. Hope line comes down a bit.

 

[weepaul]

I'm all over Cole Miller.

Dan is not Joe.

Way to start the New Year off with a bang Dana.

THIS IS A 100% CRAP CARD.
I mean the event is 7 days away and this is post #3 on MJ about it.
Pathetic.
It is a sad state when I am more looking forward to the DREAM card than the UFC.

Kevin: The UFC has been killed with a rash of injuries. What other organization could come close to this card with the amount of injuries they have had two weeks after putting on a show with a Championship fight?

Give them a break. Would you prefer the 1 card a quarter format of Strikeforce? Not me.

 

[kegray1]

Yeah I am just busting Dana's balls but this is one card I am really not looking forward to seeing.
I know injuries have really put UFC in a bind,but asking for $50 for cards like these every couple weeks is pushing it.
I will be watching this one online on Sopcast.
I think the lack of posts shows that I am not alone in this boat.

Also the next boring Strikeforce card I see will be the first boring Strikefoce card that I have seen.
I can't say that about some UFC cards.

Your tuff :mj07: I just posted it today :142smilie

 

[kegray1]

That is the problem. Usually Kickserv has a thread like this posted weeks in advance and we are 3 pages into it by now.
It took week of the event to get a thread going for this card. :scared

Not much to talk about on this one.
I will be playing the card though so maybe some talk will begin soon.

I just made one play for the card to get the ball rolling:

PARLAY:
EVANS
DOS SANTOS
200 wins 193.

I was going to bet Kickserv's mom on this play but thought better of it.:142smilie

 

[kickserv]

Good call........mom would be pissed if she was wagered again:SIB


Oh and Junior Dos Santos will destroy Gilbert Yvel, easiest pick on the card is Dos Santos.

Well see. Barnett had a tough time with this nut. Saw a video of him beating Kongo. The guy is tuff. Could be a quick one if Santos wants to stand.

 

[kickserv]

It will be a quick one......with Yvel on ground crying:sadwave:

It is all about if the guy isn't a late out of shape fill in. If he takes this seriously this will be a barn burner. Barnett has good hands and even he knew to take the guy down after taken some good shots. Santos didn't exactly walk over a washed up Crocop.

newsflash !!...santos isn`t canadian...

 

[HurricaneEddy]

I'm liking Daley over Hazelett @ +100

[DIRTY Diapers]

GSP is afraid too move up in weight to fight Anderson Silva... At least BJ Penn had the guts to move up and fight a lubed up GSP to test his skills. GSP is overrated and would get destroyed by Silva.

Newsflash to Dirty.....

This is a UFC 108 thread.

Good input though
