man me too
I think griffin really need to think about dropping to fw. Or he already accepted the fact the the paycheck is more important than the belt
Leg kicks are the most underrated weapon in MMA

griffin is listed as five foot 6 inches but he is closer to five feet four inches.
wait till manny g. fights jose aldo. the anvil is listed as five feet five inches but is five foot three inches. what is funny is when he was on the tuf show they even said his true height. he somehow grew 2 inches since then. lol.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. I still will always follow the Mountain West Conference. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez and face the winner of Junior Dos Santos vs Roy Nelson where he will defeat JDS and stake his claim as pound for pound champion. Womens MMA, the next big thing in sports. 5 weeks till the first game of college football. UTAH vs Pitt. September 2nd 2010.

and anybody who likes tiger woods(or uses his name in their sig) is a loser and probably a terrible golfer in real life. peace.

jones is huge
He could easily add more muscle to his frame and move up to hw in 2-3 years

Gotdamn does bones loook big. Definitely see him as a HW in the future. Also gomi is a pretty big Japanese fighter himself. Okami looked bigger than Munoz aswell. Lotta mismatches in terms of size
But the fights on paper look very interesting and entertaining.
by Ronin Noremlas on Jul 31, 2010 10:25 PM EDT reply actions
Tyson cuts a good amount
He will look bigger come fight time Gomi is big but doesnt cut a ton of weight so it should look closer come fight night. Okami is huge as always.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Man, very few times a Japanese fighter is bigger than the American, but its griffin, hes listed like 5’5 or 5’6… Hoping for an old Pride moment from Gomi just ko’ing tyson. I can dream cant I? Okami might look bigger than Munoz, but munoz definitely will have the strength advantage and I see Munoz using the Sonnen Blueprint to bring down Thunder. Bones is such a beast. Age, size, athleticism and strength also plays well in Bone’s favor and not to include one of the best camps around. Bones Tko rd2
Heart of a Champion...
Why would Munoz be stronger?
Absolutely nothing so far has shown us that Munoz will be stronger in fact Okami for sure is the stronger of the two having a good wrestling base and being strong are two different things brah.

Also the assumption that Munoz can simply implement Sonnen's blueprint.
They are two different kinds of fighters with different kind of wrestling. Their accolades are also vastly different. Okami lost to chael because his strongest point aka the clinch game was simply something that Chael was vastly superior at especially when mixing in dirty boxing. As far as strenght i was thinking the other way. Okami is one of few fighter that i’ve consistently read/heard his opponents describing him as deceptively and ridiculously strong.

yeah, i remember Franklin saying he was really strong
and Swick dropped to WW right after the Okami, saying he couldnt handle his strength.
I like Okami in this fight. I think he had an awakening after his loss to Sonnen, as he mentioned he’s committed to changing his training regiment. hopefully we’ll see Okami with the killer instinct. Munoz is still very dangerous and has looked great since he dropped down to MW – this should be a great fight.

God i hope you're right about the killer instinct. I wanna see talent mixed with aggression.

Whats the story with all of Bones' staredowns..........
Every single one of them are gay and uncomfortable looking………….hope VM KO’s this d-bag.
I like fighting.
He's staring into his opponent's soul.
Conan : You are known as a striker. Is that correct? Tell me what that means.
Chuck : Well I like to punch people, or kick them.
tough fight for Vladimir. ...
I’m going with the janitor on this one only because Jones head is getting too big…that said, we can’t hide reality. The better younger and more athletic is obviously jones. …I just hope that Vlad can at least take to distance….that would be a WIN, even if he loses!

Anyone putting money down on Vlad? He's a 5-1 underdog.

I have a small bet. Those odds are crazy for an mma fight where anything could happen.
