World class striking people not “stand and bang.” Someone needs to alert Joe Rogan about this.
Ghita looks sick. Not impressed with Heart Jadeep. I kinda want Overeem to make a run but i got Remy ftw. Dark horse – my boy Teixeira.
Sucks that this is the same time as the opening of ADCC.

I have been looking foward to this for what seems liek forever. NNR, TOTALLY agree about Daniel Ghita. Hopefully odds come up on BetUs because he will be a decent underdog vs Schilt and I want to take Ghita for the upset. Also want to place a parlay including my boy Badr Hari. Over on BoDog yesterday I seen odds for the ADCC, it was pretty interesting.
I still think its funny who Melvin got matched up with in the 1st round (Remy will be on parlay as well). So many good fights, I can’t wait!

i’ve never watched k1 before so i just googled a fight and watched the remy VS goodridge fight…flying knee knockdown in the first was awesome

Well then be prepared for awesomeness. Warning though K1 usually makes you snobby and critical about the striking you see in MMA.

Should be awesome. I want it to be Le Banner’s year, to finally win the WGP, but I dunno, Schilt’s back in the mix, and the matches look tough for the final 16.

Let’s get it clear, JLB will never win the GP… :(
