If I'm the only one that it bothers, feel free to dog pile me.
o_O
:winky:
Am I the only one that thinks that UFC 119 and 120 look really crappy? Especially in comparison to the last 3 cards?
The OP is nice but it seems to have one too many spoiler tags for my liking. And what's up with the "even you B:L" part? :P
As for doug_grammar's MMA news,
CroCop has a distinct advantage against Mir. His takedown defense is superb, and he's a better striker. Whether or not he can finish Mir though will be up to him.
Good for Mariusz for realizing how important cardio is. His striking has been ridiculously inefficient so hopefully he improves that as well. With his strength his bread and butter should be a wrestling style ground and pound game, which would work well against Butterbean.
Tito Ortiz is just trying to hold on to relevancy. Too little too late.
What John Cena said makes sense. He's never been into violent combat sports, so he wouldn't like MMA and he wouldn't want his kids to watch MMA. Nothing contradictory there.
TylerJ on League of Legends (it's free and fun!)
While there aren't any titles on the line, I think both of the cards have the potential for some outstanding fights.
UFC 119 looks pretty good, four of the five main card fights should be great and in the other we get to laugh at Sean Sherk's t-rex boxing.
I'm most excited for WEC 51 right now, this card is great:
FW Championship bout: Jose Aldo vs Manny Gamburyan
Jamie Varner vs Donald Cerrone
Miguel Torres vs Charlie Valencia
Korean Zombie vs George Roop
Leonard Garcia vs Mark Hominick
How do you guys like Dark Orange and Gray
And I stand by my "even you B:L" :P
As for all the spoilers, this thread is like over 15,000 characters. I wanted to keep the OP as short as possible
PSN: SoulCrusherJared
However, I am not implying that Mir will get knocked out by CroCop standing, but implying that he will avoid that scenario, and go back to his roots.
Taking Mirko down will be a fight within itself, but if Mir gets Cro-Cop on the ground, we'll see how well Dean Lister has improved Mirko's ground game.
Overall, I'll say CroCop has the distinct advantage if he's coming in with good stamina, which he should be seeing how he's brought in his A-team.
(Good OP, Jared, but just take a little more time dressing it up a little.)
While reading the 'cool moves' section all I could think of was:
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
And totally added. Awesome
PSN: SoulCrusherJared
You have to label it Tiger Knee.
But if he fights Mir like he did JDS he'll lose.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
You are correct sir, updated
PSN: SoulCrusherJared
Cro Cop's LHK (against the immovable object that is Mark Hunt's rock head)
Uberknee
Ryo Chonan's flying leg scissors heel hook
Toby Imada's inverted triangle choke
Randleplex
Mark Hunt's atomic butt drop
Is it? I remember him being taken down at will by Gonzaga, before the Head Kick from Hell. It's been a long time though, so maybe I'm remembering wrong?
120 isn't that great either but it's free so hey, what do you want?

Given the penchant that Japanese MMA has for taking long intermissions, this event could take all day.
TylerJ on League of Legends (it's free and fun!)
Well, that and they come on at ungodly hours for Western audiences.
Kongo also took CroCop down.
Mir/CroCop scares me. I don't trust either guy. CroCop is essentially o-fer against anyone of note in the last four years (and I'm including the Barry fight in there, considering CroCop was getting tooled before Barry broke half his own body). But Mir's never liked getting hit, and CroCop has enough left to put some hits on him. You couldn't pay me to bet on that fight.
Poor guys.
This will be a good challenge for Bones Jones, but I suspect him to be fighting Lil Nog in the end.
All of these have been added. If anyone else has animated gifs for the other moves, let me know and I'll update the pictures.
Good finds BubbaT

This sucks though, putting two awesome up-and-comers against eachother like that. I want them both to win.
I really doubt we'll see Bones/Bader if Bader wins. I'm betting they'll handle it like they did with JDS and Cain.
If Little Nog wins, though, I think he's almost certainly Bones' next fight.
If Little Nog fights Bader like he fought the last guy, I don't see him winning.
It's been a long time since Rogerio has been knocked out, and another day that goes by is another day spent training with Mark Munoz.
Also, it's time for Jones to start climbing the ladder, and him fighting Griffin would be a waste of time and effort. It's time he fought contenders.
Nothing yet, we're having dream fights. For that matter I don't think Jones/Griffin is quite as foregone a conclusion as some other people do.
