wow.  hope any of you into MMA were watching.  literally jumped out of my chair after that punch. sweet baby jesus.

[Feva]

Yeah, I saw it.  fedor knocked the dog shtein out of him.  Don't know if there was ever a better placed punch.  The fact that Rodgers didn't go stiff and completely out afterwards is amazing.

[MURP]

i recorded it and re watched about 50 times... sounds like a baseball bat hitting a punching bag.  ha.

how far would a "this stuff is barbaric and really trashy" discussion go? ok i wont even start.

Apparently Lesnar's illness may cost him his MMA career.  I hope that isn't true.

I DVR'ed the whole season and it's basically the first time I've ever watch MMA but I'm starting to dig it.  As much as Mitrione was kind of a bitch on the show, I liked watching him knock Marcus Jones's shtein out.  I would assume Jones is done for good, doesn't seem like he's all there.  Thought that Schaub would have one the whole thing though.

Big Country is good, elite heavy weight good, I don't think, but he's def more than meets the eye. Its really hard for people to like him because MMA is 99% guys who are in and look to be in amazing shape. this guy just looks straight out of the trailer trash and looks like a piece of shtein, but he's actually a very good fighter.

[MURP]

Jones has to be done.  To be still raw at 36 and have no chin doesnt bode well for his MMA future.

Dan Henderson just signed with Strikeforce (CBS/Showtime).

Watched Evans v Thiago Silva - Rashad looked awesome til the last round when Thiago baited him into a slugfest. Rashad was lucky Thiago couldn't follow up and was too winded to finish him.

Then caught Fedor v Brett Rogers on Strikeforce. Was very surprised in Brett Rogers abilities. He put up a good fight, at one point had Fedor on his back and was raining down strikes on Fedors head and somehow survived one round. It was pretty close in round one. Fedor landed a full out over hand right and dropped Rogers like a child early in the 2nd and it was over. Fedors strikes are the most violent strikes I have ever seen in MMA. Even when Rogers landed a punch and charged Fedor has total control, and tossed Rogers around like a rag doll even though Rogers was much larger. Unreal. I wish somehow, someway there could be a Lesner v Fedor fight, but that prob will never happen with his sickness and Dana Whites arrogance.

Say goodnight Brett Rogers:

Either way I think Fedor would beat Lesner. I'm sure Lesner would give him the fight of his life with his size, wrestling experience and athleticism, but Fedor's technique is unmatchable and on top of that his strikes are so powerful and deadly accurate. He is the best fighter in the world. Sorry Anderson, sorry St. Pierre. Fedor is the man
