2. BJ deserves every bit of nuthuggery that we give him on here.

3. GSP is the most freakish athlete in MMA

4. Jardine will upset Liddell

5. The UFC needs to sign a top free agent LW ASAP. (Melendez, JZ, Ribeiro etc.)

6. Hendo will walk thru Franklin and beat Silva to become Unified MW Champ

7. Im going to bed now

8. Had to add this Shogun will beat Page and the UFC will make Shogun/Wandy happen

Okay I agree w/ everything except:

4.) Jardine will crumple at the hands of Liddell. Bank on it. & quote me on that anytime. KO late round 1 or early-mid round 2.

5.) The UFC has an amazing LW division & doesn't NEED to sign anyone(obviously), but it certainly would be icing on the cake.

6.) I honestly think Franklin & Silva have about the exact same chance against Hendo. I'd say perhaps Silva has the better chance in the case that Hendo actually tries a horrible gameplan of standing with him(thought perhaps he could, but it's certainly not the best of ideas) & if Hendo doesn't try that gameplan then I honestly believe Franklin will have a better chance as his wrestling is much better, plus 3 rounds vs. Hendo gives Rich a better chance than Silva would have in 5 rounds if it went to decision. Regardless, they will both loss if the right gameplan is put in-place by Hendo.

8.) I just don't think so. Sig. bet if it does happen? Plus Sho/Wand want happen unless it's a year+ from now.

Wow, I agree with almost everyone of the ts's thoughts. Along with Blackthornes.
It's crazy how none of these thoughts can even be mentioned through out the day or it would be non stop flaming. Yet do it in the middle of the morning and people can agree without the fear of being bashed. Huh!

- Joe Rogan is one of the things I like about the UFC, he takes a lot of shit but has passion and knows the sport

-Even Joe's sidekick (I don't even know his name) is even endearing. He's a pure faceman with zero anything other than the stereotypical announcer voice. The two work great together like Mean Gene & Gorilla Monsoon when the WWF was cool.

- The best thing to come out of PRIDE's destruction was that that I will never have to see or hear that lady announcer again EEEEVVVVERRRRRR!!!!

- When Randy Couture joins to commentate it's the equal of Jesse the Body joining Mean Gene and Gorilla. Though Randy has nothing in common with Jesse, the triplet feels like a complete set.

- UFC ring girls need to do Playboy or better yet Hustler.

- The UFC needs one more division, they can even have just have two fighters in it if they want. One word: midgets

2. Bisping will never be top 5-7 in LHW unless something seriously changes. Probably not top 5 in MW either, most likely.

3. Dana White is in-fact the man. Even if he focuses on marketing fighters over actual talent/skills. I still like his attitude.

4. Yeah Rampage/Henderson was slightly rushed. Sherdog article writers are right, even though I'm glad the fight happened and drew the ratings it did.

5. I think Fedor is a little over-rated even though he is #1 regardless. Over time, with new upcoming talent, another greater fighter will arise(no not Vera; very over-rated).

6. Whiskey is good.

7.BJ Penn really should be near the very top of p4p ratings even though p4p ratings are kinda dumb. Yeah, even with his losses, he has rediculous potential & skill.

8. Mark Hunts over-rated, even though I like the guy alot. So is Vera, Huerta(to an extent), Faber, Rashad Evans, Tito, Anderson Silva, Gonzaga slightly, Soko, Wand(perhaps under-rated a bit now actually). CroCops rated about right, right now. & I'm sure I missed a dozen more over/under-rated fighters, but I can't think a& don't giva f right now.

9. Cheddar Cheese pringles are also good. & Family Guy as well.

10. BJM owns other refs. Herb Dean's 3-4th best. Yamasake impressed last event.

11. I miss the old Saku. He is still the #1-2 legend. Too much brain-damage now.

12. I hope this new Cuban guy can make an impact in MMA, but I doubt it. The IFL will not be around in a year, probably less than 7-8 months really.

13. Filho is under-rated. Kang is over-rated. This should actually go under #8 but I'm too lazy right now.

Okay, I'm done. Too much work put into these thoughts while drunk. The devil has a dildo factory.

Ok... I might agree with you on #'s 2,3,4,9,6,9,13. But I think it's the alcohol talking and you're full of shit!! Sorry but very isn't overated and nobody in the UFC is going to beat him.

Ohhh Kang isn't underated!

Your sentence was worse than mine & I am pretty bad right now. But I'm assuming your talking about Shogun judging from your sig. & your #'s you agreed & disagreed w/ me on. Anyways, if I am assuming correctly, sig. bet? Shogun will lose. He is very well-rounded, but is actually equivalent to a lesser GSP skill-wise imo. He will lose by KO one day within the next 4 fights(after Forrest, if faced w/ pretty good-good strikers), I assure you. Remember this post 1 day.

Oh & yeah Kang is.

[Holy Cow]

I can see some of your points. Filho underrated? Hes ranked like #2 on almost all MW lists ... even though hes never even faced a top 10 fighter.

I see what you're saying, but he isn't given enough credit by posters at the current time. You see a billion Fedor/BJ Penn/GSP/Sean Sherk/Shogun/Rampage/etc. threads. How many 'Filho next champion' threads do you see? That's sayin' something right there.

& yeah, I know he's in WEC & not the UFC right now, but still.

Agreed on all, except:

2.) Mike Goldberg is under-rated a bit, but not much. Everyone says they hate Goldy, replace him, etc. But he does his job & I can appreciate that, even though he ain't no Bas or even Quadros. But I did like the Mean Gene reference. That guy was the man.

3.) Nah, she was cool FOR PRIDE. Not the UFC but I think she complimented the Pride atmosphere quite well. Though she was a little odd regardless..

5.) Not Hustler

FEDOR... isn't overated. Ok I had a few drinks too. But I still call bullshit!

For some reason I actually liked the Pride announcer lady. I thought she did very well and made it seem alot more intense and international.
