Nice Defact. good job. I gave this job to UKG but he somehow became a no show since his hire. The link to the fighters is nice but if they went straight to Sherdog they would be even sweeter. Oh and thanks for not putting any of those silly Canadian flags with the post.

All these fighters on the UFC roster and another below average card. Rampage and Jones are gonna really have to carry this one. Man if one of them come up limp this week this card will barely have a thousand buys.

Diaz/Gomi should be a good fight, and there is definitely gonna be some fireworks in the Browne/Broughton bout. But it is definitely below average, the entire prelims look shitty, but im interested to see Fergusen and Te Huna.

UFC 136 looks like a monster card, though.

The line is very high but I just can't see Page beating Jones. We haven't seen Jones take a big hit yet but IMO there's a reason for that, he's hard to hit. Page isn't going to take him down either so how's he win? The leverage Jones has on all of these guys might be too much.

I would really like to see Machida fight Jones. I'm not a big Machida fan but he has some tools that the other guys don't have. Other than that I think we're all SAFE betting on Jones with any line they put out.

Lay something tells me we will never see that fight. I think Dana is pissed at Machida. Huerta got tired of making appearances for piss so he spoke up and he was basically gone. Machida spoke up and now we haven't heard about him fighting anyone. That to is the fight i want to see but now after Rampage we have to wait for Sugar. I thiink Rampage is in Jones head a little. I think this will be Jones toughest challenge cause Rampage has no fear of him. One shot from Rampage and it is over but i waited for that shot against the Dean of mean, Sugar, Forrest, and Machida and it never came. I still can't chance Jones tho.

"the bunker"
see something i like right off the bat....nate diaz/gomi.....gomi (+200... should go up a bit) and diaz itd(+176)....

diaz coming back down to 155 apparently.....not an easy thing to do at 6 foot tall,regardless of nate`s youth...

was looking for a nate by sub prop...but nate itd at +176 oughtta work here(and is a little safer)....gomi tends to fade a bit in hard fights(vs penn and nick diaz)....and nate has 12 stoppages in 13 wins....5 of gomi`s 7 losses via submission....

a nice hedge unless diaz wins via decision...but that hasn`t been his modus operandi...

something to think about...

Haha very nice job:toast: I'm not missing just have a hundred and one things to do which are eating into my forum browsing time.

I see no way for Jackson to win which is not to say I'm not looking forward to the fight. But it does say a lot for the ability of Jones when most see this a foregone conclusion. I think at 33 this is Rampage's last chance to be back on top. I think after this we may see a gradual decline, similar to Matt Hughes.

call me crazy but i just might take a shot with Jackson. I have never seen him this focus and on weight like he has been. Nobody has run him over in years and u don't have to worry about him being scared. I still can't believe how terrific his foot work looked against Machida. I think Machida is a lot more elusive then Bones. Another thing is Jackson has gone five rounds before. Jones to me has the ability to gas. If im Jackson i try to get this thing into the forth and see what happens. Jackson looks to be in tip top shape. I'm not worried about Jackson on the bottom. His defense is terrific on the bottom he just can't get back up. This is where Bones might gas. I think if this gets to the fourth Jackson will get him. Or he can just get smashed but i don't see it happening.
As much as i can't stand Hughes who wants to hear that shit Kos is saying about him being old? Maybe we can get a double knockout here.
