Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

It's almost like you are just trolling.

Have you ever seen the list of guys Reem has fought??????? I mean seriously man. You're ****ing stupid. No joke. Just stop.

Okay, I'm debating on jumping on the Daniel Cormier bandwagon. At first his height or lack of was a hugh concern for me in the HW divsion, but it wasn't a problem against Silva and I really don't see how Barnett can do anything against him as good as Barnett's been. He could be a nice exciting new piece to the UFC HW divsion. He matches up well with guys like JDS and Cain IMO, but I still don't think I've seen him on his back yet, not that taking him down would be an easy thing to do.

He and Cain train together, I doubt they'd fight, AKA is a very close knit group and they're not really down with fighting each other. Also, Bigfoot is a decent fighter but I don't put him in the top tier with guys like JDS and Cain.

Overeem is going to completely maul Lesnar

FYI...UFC live for free on Spike tonight 8pm CST. Jake Shields faces Jake Ellenberger,Court McGee vs.Dongi Yang, Erik Koch vs. Jonathan Brookins, and Alan Belcher vs. Jason MacDonald. I'm interested in seeing Court and Brookins. Curious to see how much they've improved since I last saw them fight.

**Easy 6** · 09-17-2011, 09:01 PM

Shields should have stayed home & comforted his mom.

I think that Quinton's boxing skills posses a different challenge for Jones, as Rampage is quick to abandon fighting at length and with will attempt to strike inside using uppercuts and some dirty boxing, along with his hooks. Jon will probably try to keep distance with leg kicks and eventually work for some takedowns or offense out of the plum. However, Jon's gas tank isn't that great, whereas we have seen Rampage go five 5 rounds hard a few times (Forrest and Hendo). This fight will really come down to Rampage's ability to scramble off his back and up to his feet along with Jones using his reach to dictate the striking. I however, will be taking Rampage. I think that the "spygate" incident has gotten into Jon's head, although it was probably his manager that set all of it up without Jon's knowledge.

I haven't seen all of Jones fights but I haven't noticed anything wrong with his gas tank in the ones I have. I totally disagree with you on pretty much everything you just wrote. I think the only chance that Rampage has is his ability to strike. If you can hit with power you always will have a chance to win but I think Jones is a much better fighter. We'll soon see if I am correct.

**Bwana** · 09-24-2011, 07:54 PM

That fight was a yawner.

What exactly do you disagree with? That Jon will try to utilize his 84' reach? Or that Page will need to successfully scramble off of his back to get back to his feet and avoid Jon's elbows?
