Cormier vs Del Rosario

When did that get announced? That’s awesome.

The Reem is going run through this tournament. But thats not new news.

UFC 129. This is how Christmas used to feel when I was six.

AK!

This is your chance for a shot at Carano! I mean, they let her fight a man once before, right?

This is actually worth going to Dallas

The only thing that sucks worse than the O.K Sooners is my knowledge of MMA. I’m only a member of this site because A.K lets me be one. And for that, I am thankful.
Has a sig bet with Californication for Wiman/Siver at UFC 132
Further more, I have a sig bet with Chronogata on Lesnar over JDS

Who else is going?

I’m thinking we should have a meetup before the fight if we get enough ppl together.

Carano is going to have a bout with a McGriddles.

SPOILER ALERT***
McGriddles wins!

Shogun Rua, still only 1 quality win in the UFC and I don't want to hear any garbage excuses about his knee. That is all.

I could never fight Carano. I would immediately pull guard and then from the bottom I would transition north south right away.

You forgot King Mo, Jesse

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

A.Overeem vs. F.Wedrum
King Mo vs. OSP
J.Barnet vs. B.Rogers
G.carno vs. TBA
Del Rosario vs. Comier

She Got Game

I think Gina needs to bring her “A” Game, because I want to take her seriously. Whoever her opponent is, just bring your a game, baby girl.

striekforce rep stated that OSY vs King Mo was ACCIDENTALLY added to the poster….how the hell does that happen, we understand rumours are rumours but to addit on the psoters and say it was an accident is stupid. ZUFFA’s PR Machine wont be happy with that lol….off with their heads!

Awesome Card!!!

Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses off my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.
