alves i believe. great striker. hopefully karo can pull through.

Karo was a bit of an @ss on TUF. I'm for Alves. UFC Wired on Comcast Sportsnet right now & Iron Ring comes on @10:30pm EST on BET. WEC on VS. tomorrow & F.Shamrock takes on Cung Le on Showtime on Saturday

i'm Armenian so i'll be supporting the Armenian fighters that night. Gamburyan, Mitichyan, Parisyan and Florian.

out of the 4 i see Gamburyan winning for sure. The other 3 are gonna have trouble. George is a serious contender in WW and Mitichyan is going to ahve trouble. Hopefully he's working on his striking game.

Parisyan better come in with perfect cardio/conditioning. Florian should not underestimate Lauzon's overall mma skills. the kid is a monster. Florian should play it smart, take him down and throw elbows from a VERY close distance.

Who's watching WEC? Go with Rhino over Stan...

I'm shocked @the way that one ended. Jens/Faber is going to be awesome

i'll be cheering for Jens.

Stan's stand-up looked better, more crisp.
I'll be pulling for Pulver...

Ditto on everything 'cept Karo. Do all Armenian last names end in "an"?

That makes 3 of us. I like Faber, but I still consider him to be mainly just a great wrestler w/OK strikes. I think his striking is a weakness Jens might be able to exploit. Plus Faber's been looking too unbeatable recently so somebody's gotta give him a bloody & brutal fight.

Yep. I thought Marshall would go for more of a wrestling match after he got tagged a couple of times, but he is a brawler by nature & must have thought he could outpunch Stan. & It looked like he was until the very end

I still can't get over what a joke that Forrest/Rampage series is...

ALMOST all Armenians have last names which end with "IAN" or "YAN".

what do you mean

Forrest has no business even fighting Rampage, let alone sharing a television show with him, judging by Forrest's previous accomplishments.

He beat a gassed out terrible looking Shogan, and now he's one of the best in the world (stupid Rogan)? 😬

he defeated an injured shogun. still an accomplishment. he took Ortiz to a decision which many thought Forrest won.

he's definitley top 10 in my book but i believe he is somewhat overrated. I see Rampage picking him apart.

Is it?
Ortiz was injured in that fight as well... and he was only throwing small punches... And even beating a good looking Ortiz doesn't warrant him a spot like this...

"Somewhat"? 😕

I see Rampage overpowering Forrest fast, and easily KO'ing him... nothing short of a miracle is getting Forrest the win... or even past the second round.

I'm inclined to agree with Forrest being overrated. Heck, I actually like Forrest but fighting Rampage is stupid. Forrest may surprise me but I doubt it.

It would be nice if Machida was giving a shot at some point...

Shamrock vs. Le on showtime tonight, interesting match-up. Wouldn't mind seeing Shamrock KO'd, but i think he takes this fight, more skills.
Spike showing UF6 marathon right now.

Ya, I like Forrest too. I was cheering for him even back when the first TUF was on... however, I can't get over the fact that he's so overrated.

Which Shamrock?
If it's Frank... I doubt he's getting KO'ed.
If it's Ken... then count on him getting nokked da fuk out.

Frank

I did too, until I heard him say he'd keep it standing. Frank got exactly what he deserved for not fighting smart. He's always been an @sshole & I didn't like when he said Renzo was faking an injury.

Prime Frank Shamrock would have destroyed Cung Le. Don't believe the hype man as soon as this guy fights some a world class wrestler he is done.

exactly what i was thinking. i dont see him getting passed guyz like Henderson and even Matt Hughes at 170.

Frank was too arrogant (as always). He could have easily submitted Cung.
