Fonseca via sub? Crispim is a top notch black belt. Maybe via tko, but Alex wont get sub’d.
Also the King is going to crush White via some ground and pound.
Why dude those picks are way off.
Well I’m off to San Jose, and will be attending the weigh~ins I can’t wait for tomorrow night, it is going to be a good time with great floor seats, I will be back on the FrenZy later today and tonight, have agood one guys..
have a good one bro
O ya just got here and can’t wait heading off to the Weigh~ins here in a bit…
have fun fr!!!!
I’m just curious to see if Lee can take those Scott Smith bombs..Remember how Frank hurt Lee with those right crosses..He was rocked a couple of times. We know what Smith is gonna do. Lee needs to keep him out of striking distance with those unnorthodoxed kicks or Smith is gonna ko him..
Le. It’s written how many times in this story (2) and others?
And yet, everyone keeps messing it up because…
they don’t know jack.That’s a bit of a personal attack… – Justin H
It’s not like you dude too go on at somebodys like that dude?
Let the ‘E’ go!
- ‘S’
bigworthy,
Huh?
dbiz is it that serious?? Be respectful & stay in line..
Well, you did seriously join the ranks of the many others that added an e to the end of the guy’s name, that if you were paying attention when you read the article you would know is not there. It can also be seriously annoying to those of us who pay attention to spelling when people so frequently botch the guy’s name when it is easy enough to see that it is only a two letter name.
That said, at least part of what dbiz said was over the line and has been dealt with, you do not need to get involved in policing an issue that has already been dealt with by a moderator.
Then you frankly need to do a better job as a moderator. You could have just deleted the personal attack instead of just stiking it out where it can still be read & addressed me with making the correction to Cung’s name to avoid the retaliation replies and the back & fourth b/s. Like you will prob do this post.I’ve never blatantly disrespected anyone on this site & expect the same in return. A mistake is a mistake.
What’s done is done.
well like i said before iam rooting for strikeforce to take over ufc, strikeforce actually cares about their fans unlike ufc who just want to take our money and put ****ty cards together, strikeforce is free so it will be better eventually, I only know cung lee and thompsan on this card but i will bet anything it will be better than evans vs silva card. I cant believe that is actually a main event.
plus ufc is fixed, i mean if you seen that kimbo vs houston fight you know its fake, dana gave houston tons of money to lose. yes i have sources and yes its 100% legit. it was a botched fight, everyone will find out in time. i bet maybe a year ufc will be exposedWell, that’s just something that you can’t back up, whether you claim you can or not, we don’t allow that around here. Since your other two commetns were questionable, and your name alone makes you a questionable commentator, you have earned your way onto moderation. – Justin H
p.s. The guy’s name is Cung Le, one “e” for crying out loud, and you’re the second person to botch that on this thread alone, which means you’re obviously not reading the other comments.
I co~sign Justin’s commments and respectfully ask you to stop trolling my friend……………….

^ tell me how you feel about this post dbiz.
And without evidence of the UFC being fixed don’t post that here, the frenZy likes to allow everyone an opinion but yours is down right offensive, and uneducated, take it back to sherpup and keep the commentary clean and classy.
Signed,
Everyone at the frenzy
Its funny that you complain about Evans vs. Silva as a mainevent, but Le vs Smith is a great main event? I guarantee that if Cung Le vs Scott Smith was the main event of a UFC everyone would complain. Smith was in the UFC and was never any where near a main event fight.
This strikeforce card is good, but if it was a UFC card you would complain about it.
Solid point, but I think you also need to consider that while everyone is paying $50 for a UFC event, the Strikeforce cards are free if you already have Showtime. At least I think that’s true, I’m sure people will feel free to correct me if I’m wrong haha
For all the Canadians on the Frenzy, I just found out that the Strikeforce event tonight will be on Rogers for free (maybe Bell too, not sure). It’s in the higher 500s (not by my tv right now for exact channel) and is part of a free preview for the Super Channel. And TSN2 is doing Cerrone vs Ratcliff aswell, so lots of good fights to flip between.
Whitehead at 261.5? That dude’s weight fluctuations are ridiculous.
Sounds like me before and after the Holidays.
