I hope Stink isn’t betting the grocery money…

i am betting some loot~ cause i think guida has a good chance..
the odds im getting are great!! why wouldnt i get in on the action?
great odds = small bet = a possible reward!!
guida might lose~ but it sure wont be easy for sanchez!!

its not too late to get on the guida bus!!

by stinky~fingers on Jun 19, 2009 11:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he wasn’t doing anything, all i saw was him wrestling people.. nothing special at all!
He is too annoying and i want someone to manhandle him and really scare the retard out of him, knock him out cold so that he never does that again!
by RoB on Jun 19, 2009 11:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
nobody likes a retard… If he was a cool person i would like him, but he isnt’ and therefor someone needs to lay him out!

Thanks for your vid stink…a true Jehovah j/k!
Now i’m more confident that Diego will win!

He lost to Huerta by Rear Naked choke, so it was a flash knockdown, not KO.
by Malonish on Jun 19, 2009 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
corrected~ yes it was a flash knock down, my bad~ thats what i meant.
by stinky~fingers on Jun 19, 2009 11:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i just wanna be the person who slaps the piss outta him before he goes in the octagon..huggy is a beast yes..but i am not rooting for him..and his hair, oh that annoying mop.
by sarah on Jun 19, 2009 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

How ‘bout fighters with TaTs’ VS Fighter’s without TaT’s?
by DAVE A on Jun 20, 2009 2:17 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The tats comparison is so irrelevant!
by Alpha Male 360 on Jun 20, 2009 9:08 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
geez i’ve NEVER seen anyone judge the chick fighters on their cankles or how sexy they are..stinky!! i judge fighters on their abilities and heart..even sometimes on what comes outta their mouths which can wreck a good fighter cuz they can say some stoopid sh*t…but i am 100% sure i am not the only person to find the sweaty strands flapping around annoying..and i did call him a beast to satiate your nuthuggery of guida..
by sarah on Jun 20, 2009 10:23 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Guida’s looks and personality has 99% to do with the hate he gets… you do not hate on a good person no matter what he does!
by RoB on Jun 20, 2009 10:58 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
lol sarah~ ‘my nutthuggery’ of guida??
im just saying it will be a close fight, that guida definitely has a chance of winning~ and that he doesnt just hold fighters..the guy is no blanket~
that is not nutthuggery.. im just not blind~ and wouldnt write off a guy like clay..
’now get back in the kitchen and make me some sandwedggies~
j/k, lol~
by stinky~fingers on Jun 20, 2009 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it’s all good stinky..and i never said guida would lose..and i didn’t even mock diego for his god nut hugging.. i don’t hate on anyone cuz that’s a strong word..dislike some..but hate..naw.. i just want a good war..3 and a half hours till the fights..uh huh
i prefer the.. now get in the kitchen and bake me a pie b*tch!! lol

i want Clay Guida to win. he seems like a cool guy
by Jesse on Jun 19, 2009 11:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
not bad stink. i love how people hate on wrestlers because their fighters are helpless against them.
by day1er on Jun 19, 2009 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
if it was a wrestler that just held peeps, i would understand..
but these fools are saying he doesnt try to improve position..
thats nut! he is always moveing from gaurd to side control..
he mounts peeps~ slams peeps, can take a punch and his pace is relentlesss.
he does have probs finishing, but im not going to say he does nothing!!

COULD NOT AGREE with you more!
Guida is and always has been my boy!
Guida by UD
by SoCalStunNa on Jun 20, 2009 12:36 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
haha because that is the only way it is possible for him to win a fight! oh wait split decision! maybe a majority decision?
so he has 3 different ways he could win…
by AzCombat on Jun 20, 2009 9:11 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
meh. that video was kind of boring. He is really good and quick at grabing double leg tackdowns and he is good at scrambling. Most other fighters would have more exciting reals. Like Diago for example.

Diego looked like such a tool at the weigh in’s! Can you say psycho??
by ItsNormlToSmokePot on Jun 19, 2009 9:28 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
My 2 year old makes that face (when he takes a dump) that Diego made at the weigh ins.
WTF was that?
by DubNub on Jun 19, 2009 10:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Diego by knockout or submission guida will never get a title shot.
by Colin D on Jun 20, 2009 12:06 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have a question, why is everyone choosing Andre Winner over Ross Pearson? Go back and watch each of their fights again. Pearson will take this by TKO.
by J on Jun 20, 2009 3:23 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Both guys have a great chance, they were my 2 favourites from the start and have both done British MMA proud. I picked Winner because of his size advantage but there is little to choose one, I see this being a close decision where both guys get a contract a la Griffin-Bonnar and Grove-Herman.

Nate is so much taller then Joe. Might be another bad night for Daddy.
