w/ UFC 84 just around the corner and me having a few hours to kill (flying to vegas in a few hours, decided to just stay awake) i figured i'd make yet another bandwagon thread ha.

i'm also interested on how big, or i should say small this bandwagon will become haha....i see a lot of people are picking Ivan Salaverry to win in the UFC 84 picks threads. no surprise, Rousimar's buzz is mostly in Brazil for the time being. here are a few videos for your viewing pleasures:

Seems like a good fighter! I haven't really heard of him before, so I can't really tell before I see him in the UFC, but I hope he does well!

Count me in, just for the fun of it!

And didnt someone else create Palhares wagon?

Nevermind. He is next big thing

I'd love to see him win, I truly would. However I have picked against him in my assumptions. I feel so dirty.

WAR TOQUINHO!

The biggest brazilian talent since Paulo Filho!
The guy for a good fight against Anderson Silva!

Lol, some guy just said Yoshida was stolen from the best submission of the night.

I respect Yoshida submission, but Toquinho's was a perfect example of a Black Belt Jiu Jitsu skills from someone who got the Black Belt from Murilo Bustamante on Brazilian Top Team

i just got back from vegas, i thought this would of got more responses!

after Rousimar's impressive debut, let's get more people on this wagon! haha

just wanted to say congrats to Rousimar, i met him hanging around at the MGM w/ Bustamante, really humble and polite guy. i was happy to see a lot of people were walking over to him to say "great fight!"

you guys also need to help me w/ getting Rousimar on the upcoming UFC video game! according to a recent article, THQ is looking to release the game in Spring 2009 which is QUITE some time from now. there is more than enough time to get Toquinho on this thing.

speaking of which, there was NO announcement whatsoever about the damn video game at UFC 84.
