Cheers to that David!
I have been on this site FOREVER, being the 1st poster on countless threads and NOT ONCE, have I ever posted that “First” Crap!
I dont remember the LAST TIME THAT i HAD THIS little interest in a UFC main event!
I was really looking forward to Dustin outclassing Karo “Paulo Filho” Paryisan!
I have interest in now are Cane/Nog, which has me salivating and I am a little curious about seeing Rumble/Kos…doubt Kos will be displaying that crappy stand up with that silly overhand right against a sharp striker like Rumble! I SERIOUSLY might not watch the main event out of principle!
I look forward to seeing Uno back in action..and I like Saunders so seeing him beat Marcus is a treat!
Nnr: what you think about Rosholt/Grove?
I like rosholt in that fight.
I expect him to pin glass chin grove against the cage and work him over with punches and elbows until he collapses.

Completely agree, plus a couple dumps on his head
I think Rosholt got this in the bag. Stylistically this is awful for Kendall. I bet on Jake a couple days ago.

Thats what I see hapennening as well boys!
If I had to pick the best bet on the card, I would have to say Rosholt!
NNR, and VM…what do you guys think?
Congratulations
You can now call yourself “clever”….
Also now you can go tell all your nerdy friends how you “totally” punked this guy on the internet..
Also go police blog somebody else… You BLOG WHORE

I can’t tell, is Tito holding a pair of kings or is he trying to bluff with 5-10 off suit?
I'm kind of a big deal.
Excellent question
I’ve decided that I wouldn’t make any predictions about this one. Too many unknown unknowns.
The one and only Smitty...
hmmph
i am gonna have to go with forrest cuz i thought he won that fight forever ago against pumpkin head..but as much as i am not a huge tito fan..forrest has slid waayyyy down on my like level too..so mostly i am curious to see the outcome..and well, if they both suck it will confirm that both of em are done..stick a fork in em!!
Funny
The front page and first pic is of Kos and Rumble, I am looking forward to that fight the most by far as I am sure many of you are!
UFC 106: The IF Factor
The card is all about questions:
Is Tito back and able to contue compete with the best?
Is Forrest a top tier fighter a fluke?
Was their first fight a bad decision?
and
Will Rumble get his act together and make weight?
Will KOS smarten up and go back to his roots and actually use what he is the BEST at?
I’m actually excited for this card…
-Tito by decision
-KOS IF he makes it a wrestling match otherwise AJ TkO
-and i would have said Hazlett by Sub but the fact the Karo is OUT is just as good!

I have to take Forrest. Tito has a couple years of ring rust on him, while Forrest has fought three guys who are unquestionably top 5 in the world (Rua, Rampage, Silva) and one more who could be top 5 (Rashad).
And Rumble actually has a wrestling background, so while Kos is definitely the better wrestler, Johnson will have the wrestling skill plus the strength and athletic ability to stuff Kos. I like Rumble for the TKO in the second.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Rampage top 5?
I dont see Rampage as top 5 at all, but Rashad is for sure.
Rampage sucks
I was one of the few who thought he was a vastly overrated fighter even before everyone started hating him. It’s funny how much people’s objective evaluations of fighter’s are linked to their like or dislike of them.
Rampage is a top 5 fighter!
Like him or not, he is still one of the best in the sport. I’m not a Brock fan but I respect his skills and talent and know he’s one of the best fighters in the world.

I don't like Rampage
I think he’s a douchebag with a bunch of over-laughing hangers-on who only exist to tell him how funny he is when he bullies someone who can’t stand up to him (Titties, the chick who got humped in an interview). But that doesn’t take away from what he’s done in the ring/cage. He is top 5, no question.
I'm kind of a big deal.
haha ring rust
that is what jenna has cuz she has been outta the porn business too long…d’oh!!
i say rumble is gonna knock the piss outta kos..
I hope MClovin has a replacement
he deserves to showcase his skill-set. send in serra. that would make my night. I really hope to see tito make a comeback and bury forrest. i want to see a knockout either it be rumble or kos.
"i just want to be known as the greatest of all time, is that too much to ask?" - BJ Penn.
well heres the thing brotha
Rumble won’t be able to stuff the takedown if KOS makes wrestling his gameplan.
KOS’ 90 percent training is stand-up so i think if he plays the game like he has been itll be a short night for him!
lots of questions to be answered for both fights! itll be Titos ringrust vs Forrest skill set (or lack thereof).
as for a REPLACEMENT for Mclovin i doubt there will be one and it DEFINATELY won’t be matt serra. He’s a beefy guy and will never make weight in ONE day!
Karo is such a douche send him off to StrikeForce to get manhandled by Shields, Riggs, etc.
oh and RUMBLE vs SEMTEX is a fight i’d love to see regardless if AJ wins or loses Saturday!

Another main event I won't be watching.
Well, Tito ortiz vs. griffin is probably the most irrelevant main event, since.. UFC’s last card? What I do find intriguing is Koscheck Vs. Rumble Johnson. Hopefully Anthony comes with his left hand up and delivers a right uppercut as Koscheck leans in to end the fight. I’m actually predicting that to happen in the late first or early 2nd round. Rumble Johnson by perfectly timed right uppercut KO.. then off to fight GSP (after he destroys Hardy). Just like I’ve been saying since the Tommy Spears fight.. It’s frustrating being able to predict the course of MMA you know, anybody hear me?
Faux Pas
Not sure about the sunglasses, but sport jackets only look cool when they are clean, neat, or otherwise pressed. Dude has stumbled into success.

Tito's sunglasses
What is up with his sunglasses? He wears them everywhere, indoors for an interview during ufc 105, He wears them when he attends the WEC event, and now to the press conference. So what if u have a blackeye. Rich Franklin always has a black eye and crooked nose and he doesnt cover it up with sunglasses come on tito learn how to sport the black eye we all know your a fighter and we all know every fighter gets a black eye sometimes who cares. Why cover it up and look like a pompous asshole?
sunglasses
play into the whole ‘bad ass’ shtick that TITO is infamous for.
NOT to cover a black eye.

few people are more annoying that tito ortiz, so there you go!
by jesuslovesyoumma on Nov 20, 2009 12:26 AM EST up reply actions
I wear my sunglasses at night
So don’t mess around with a guy in shades, oh no!
I'm kind of a big deal.
beg to differ
Pretty sure its to cover the enormous swollen shut riiight eye.

KANG RIP
You know what they say...
Only blind people and assholes where sunglasses inside.
The one and only Smitty...
