Randy is good at predictions. Alistair has more weapons the the Grim needs to land just one punch. I’m looking forward for this fight and think the event in general will be great.

yeah, I don't remember Randy ever getting it wrong
He’s picked several major upsets, including Rampage/Chuck 1, and Gonzo over CroCop.
Fighters are TESTED. ripped form BE
According to Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, once back at the hotel all fighters were required to submit to drug tests administered internally by the Strikeforce organization via a local independent laboratory.
“It wasn’t based on any one specific fighter,” Coker told MMA Fighting. “It was just the right thing to do. It’s so all the fighters, all the fans, and all the media know what’s going on. I talked to all the fighters about it and they were all fine with it.”
Coker said the decision to conduct the independent tests has been in the works for at least a week, and was spurred on in part by the Missouri Office of Athletics’ policy of conducting only random testing.

The paycheck is wrong. Rogers will get murdered.
In fact this only strenghtens my feeling about this fight.

y do u call him paycheck?? don’t all fighters fight for money??
For what profit is it to man if he gains the world , and loses his own soul?

thx Shonuff
But the monicker captain paycheck was actually coined by someone else after he was caught red handed lying about a bonus he never received as the reason for his fallout with the UFC when he retired to fight fedor after dissing big nog. Dana White then publicly put out a copy of the bonus check for 250,000. Embarrassing to say the least for a “legend” who yammers on about fighting for the average fighters and trying to better the industry bla bla blah……you want a real legend and Icon look to Fedor, look to Big Nog…….not the man above.

Randy's predictions are not guaranteed I remember him picking Hendo over Page
But Randy does here a lot more than any of us behind the scences especially from other camps and trainers about fighters and how they are training and doing, witch has more first hand info than we get. Rogers has been training with a few different camps and the buzz on how he’s doing must be good and how he looks also suggest he has been busting ass. I agree with Randy on this one.

Well Hendo won that fight 3 to 2 so
He wasnt really wrong there, but he’s been wrong in other fights

No Hendo lost the fight Lester
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
nope..
hendo won the belt and went on to lose the belt to griffin after being a coach on TUF. he then beat silva and jardine and is waiting to lose to rashad. wait did i get the right guy??

he’s saying he thought Hendo won. Your own scoring is just as good as the judges, just very unofficial.
someone else's success brings pain.
Also it doesn't result in the fighters getting paid

That's one of my favorite fights....a true dog fight......
rampage best peak so far in terms of consummate performance everywhere the fight could go. I first scored it for hendo but i was biased i think coz i had rampage on multiple rewatches.
O damn – i won’t even pretend like am not a couture hater that’s one of the few things in MMA that i can’t be reasonable about.

Lol Randy says “I’ve fought him before…”
This is Alistair Overeem vs. Brett Rogers, not Valentijn Overeem vs. Brett Rogers, you senile old man. :)
But didn't he spank Tito's??

really DOES look like a good night of fights.

Meh,
We said the same thing about the Nashville event.
But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies. - Kenny Powers
You never really know many of the cards that peaple thought would suck, were awsome fights too
There should be some KO’s in this one to keep everybody happy, and evne the bottom three fights on the main card look like good match ups?

I'm looking forward to the fights but I'm just not getting too excited for any event.
It’s better that way I believe.

I always get excited when one of my favorite fighters is fighting.
But lately they have all been losing and losing belts too. I then proceed to drink myself into a stuper.
I say I don't get excited but come fight time,
I’m a sucker, haha!

Screw Captain Paycheck!
Overeem by 1st round KO.

he almost did
i thought he beat the hell out of him and then got caught in a triangle or something
Open up the Shit Gates and where the Hell was Marv?
You are right...
Poopy was picking him apart then he got caught in a guillotene and tapped right away. Nog won in typical fashion.
Rogers
Ali-steroids overeem is a cheat. I hope Rogers destroys him.
Jesse, or anyone:
Any of you know Randy’s actual record for picking fights? I’m curious.
Its probs better then his own record! Ziiing!*
*Daniel Worby does not condone such jokes, nor believe they are funny, Daniel Worby was simply saying it before someone else did. Daniel Worby cold heartedly supports ‘The Natural’.
