wOOT mother in' wOOT
I'd like to take a moment to thank my boss for buying myself and my brother a ticket to UFC 100...$1050 each after TT&L. And that's just barely in the lower section. Crazy prices...
What's the matter, Evan? Can't take a little innocent teasing?

*glares at leonard in sheer jealousy"
You DAMN SOB!!!
You better take lots of Pics and post them here..
Maybe...
I'd like to say something to you, Leonard, on behalf of everybody here in Spurstalk mma:
You SUCK.
May you be turked by a syphilitic bear.
You've been glaring a lot lately, Evan. Be careful your eyes don't fall out.
*raises eyebrow in severe agitation*
and leonard sucks a bag of s. However...as it stands I am in the bullpen to go with leonard if anyone drops out but I am not betting on it.
Just want to let yall know that Thiago Alves thinks the same thing i do...
"I'm going to enjoy my time. I have 25 minutes to have fun and whatever happens, it happens. I'm not just going to win. I'm going to knock him out. I'm going to shock the world. You have to do this for a reason. I want to make history. At (UFC) 100 I have a chance to make history, and I will make history. I promise you that. I've been asking for it, and you get in life what you ask for. I'm real excited. I've been preparing for this my whole life. I know GSP is a great fighter, but it's just my time "
Brock, GSP and Henderson make this a must-watch for me.
And why the is Coleman fighting as a LHW? Was that his natural weight class before? After looking really bad against an almost equally- ty Shogun, he's probably best off at HW.
Brock,Alves,Hendo
Obviously anything can happen and Alves has the power to KO anyone at 170 but he has a lot to prove to me. The best fighter he has fought last few years was Fitch and he lost that fight really badly.. Next best win is what? Koscheck, he fought Alves on 2 weeks notice, hung tough on the feet and even won RD 2 i thought. Alves wasn't close to getting rid of him. HE also has wins over guys like Karo, where he was losing the fight then turned it all around with a big shot. He is basically just a powerful striker, not the well rounded beast like GSP is. If GSP were to lose, i see him coming back with a better gameplan and flattening Alves in a rematch.. Alves i also see fighting at 185 real soon, he is way too big for 170, the weight cutting will be too much for him at some point..
dbreiden...shush....i love you dude...we cant be fighting like this!
LOL, all love John, all love..
Seriously though my biggest question is if Alves loses, does he go right to 185? Cutting so much weight hurts your gas tank and is there anyone better at testing one's tank than GSP?? It's his breakneck pace that i believe will be Alves undoing here..
So I'm a . Can someone explain the difference between Brock's championship belt, and Mir's 'interim' belt?
Once I said that if Alves will get a le shot, and no matter the outcome of this fight he will go up a division. This guy is cutting from over 200 pounds.LOL, all love John, all love..

A and he fought Hughes. Good fight great flying knee.
Randy had the belt, but retired.
Nog beat Sylvia for the interim belt while Randy was still retired. (Mir beat Lesnar at the same event)
Lesnar beat Randy for the belt (last Nov).
Mir beat Nog for the interim belt (last Dec).
Which leaves us with Lesnar vs Mir 2 for the only belt.
^now I'm confused
It dosent matter who has it now as long as Cain Velasquez is in the UFC!

The fight card has the exciting names – now it’s time to watch the exciting fights.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship® today confirmed the remaining fights for the historic UFC® 100 event on Saturday, July 11th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With an outstanding 9-1 record in the UFC (22-3, 1 NC overall) and coming off an impressive win against Akihiro Gono in his last fight, Jon Fitch (fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) is one of the toughest fighters the welterweight division has to offer. With wins over Thiago Alves, Diego Sanchez, Brock Larson and Luigi Fioravanti, the Ft. Wayne, Indiana native has dominated the compe ion and looks to one day hold that UFC welterweight strap. Standing in his way is the undefeated Paulo Thiago (fighting out of Brasilia, Brazil). The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt improved his professional mixed martial arts record to 11-0 when he defeated Josh Koscheck by TKO in the first round of their February match. He gets another true test when he faces Koscheck’s teammate at UFC 100.
A middleweight superstar who made his name overseas, Yoshihiro Akiyama (fighting out of Osaka, Japan) is a decorated judo black belt with dangerous knockout power and a 12-1, 2 NC mixed martial arts record. He’ll make his long-awaited UFC debut against MMA veteran Alan Belcher (fighting out of Biloxi, Mississippi). A Jonesboro, Arkansas native, “The Talent” is riding a two-fight win streak with a submission victory against Denis Kang in his last fight at UFC 93.
A UFC Hall of Famer, former UFC heavyweight champion and 1988 NCAA national wrestling champion for Ohio State, Mark Coleman (fighting out of Columbus, Ohio) has the credentials and the talent to make a great fight every time out. With seven career UFC wins, the 44-year-old looks to stir things up in the light heavyweight division, and if there’s another fighter that knows how to put on a great show it’s Stephan Bonnar (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.). A fighter that will be remembered forever for his epic battle with Forrest Griffin in the original The Ultimate Fighter® finale, The Munster, Indiana born fighter has notable wins over Keith Jardine, Eric Schafer and James Irvin.
Season six winner of The Ultimate Fighter, Mac Danzig (fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.) has two submission victories as a UFC fighter and the Cleveland, Ohio native will have his greatest test to date when he faces Sparta, New Jersey native Jim Miller (fighting out of Whippany, N.J.). The Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt has two UFC wins, including a submission victory over David Baron in his lightweight debut.
If one wanted to watch a rising star in the UFC’s light heavyweight division, look no further than Rochester, New York born Jon Jones (fighting out of Endicott, N.Y.). The undefeated 21-year-old earned an exciting unanimous decision victory against UFC veteran Stephan Bonnar in his last fight, winning his second UFC match and keeping his professional record perfect at 8-0. Now Jones turns his attention to former heavyweight Jake O’Brien (fighting out of Indianapolis, Ind.). The former Purdue wrestler and three-time high school state champion earned a split decision victory against Christian Wellisch in his last fight.
With two UFC wins already on his resume, Dong Hyun Kim (fighting out of Busan, Korea) brings plenty of excitement to the UFC welterweight division. With a memorable match against Karo Parisyan and wins over Matt Brown and Jason Tan, the 27-year-old judo black belt will be an interesting matchup for Canadian striker Jonathan Goulet (Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada). The 29-year-old has four wins in the UFC, including two TKOs and one submission.
Currently on a two-fight win streak, former The Ultimate Fighter Season 7 finalist CB Dollaway (fighting out of Tempe, Ariz.) has finished his last two fights within one round. Now the Mt. Gilead, Ohio native and former NCAA All-American wrestler from Arizona State University faces Fall River, Massachusetts product Tom Lawlor (fighting out of Orlando, Fla.). The 26-year-old with the 5-1, 1 NC record earned a unanimous decision victory against Kyle Kingsbury in his UFC debut.
A former wrestler from Oklahoma University, Matt Grice (fighting out of Harrah, Okla.) holds a 10-2 professional MMA record and an impressive split decision victory over Jason Black. Grice will have to be on his game when he faces the well-rounded Shannon Gugerty (fighting out of San Diego, Calif.). The 27-year-old brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu also has a background in Muay Thai and already holds a UFC win over Dale Hartt.
