Don’t forget, MMAFrenzy.com will have live coverage of UFC 91 this Saturday, November 15th, beginning at 8pm ET.
That stinks. Was looking forward to seeing Amir. I think i’d rather see the Robinson fight over Hazelett though.
that is great news. I think the hazlett vs mCcrory is one of the best matchups on the card. I couldnt believe that it wasnt originally scheduled to be on the main card.

Hazelett’s armbar on burkman was amazing. The slickest I have ever seen in a actual fight. I’m glad this fight is now on the main card, and thought amir’s should be on the under card. Its to bad amir is not fighting, but glad to see hazelett make the main card.
I think Maia is going to beat Quarry. Not what I want…….just how I feel. I was excited to see Amir in action but Hazelett/McCrory is a great match up to take its place. Why is Jorge Gurgel in the UFC still???
B W,
Look up Aoki on youtube. He has a video with a shat load of submissions including flying armbars and all…….absolutley amazing.
Here here, nice KOuch
come on kouch whats with the gurgel hate he is a warrior…..he has only lost 4 times in his carrear..and is actually really good he just tries to stand when he should be wrestling and submitting people quickly…he is a local ohioan trains in dayton/cincy….plus there isnt many people who have a better outlook ok life than him.. he is always very encouraging and never gives up….(see T.U.F. 2)
I am really interested in the Quarry Maia fight also. Hey it has to be better than the Quarry Kalib Starnes fight.
Kouch, yeah man your right. I wasn’t even thinking of aoki when I made the statement. I have only seen a couple of his fights, so I will check out the HL vid you spoke of. Thanks for the heads up.
Aoki is dirty, wow. (dirty good not dirty cheater) Some of it I think other good jits guys would have taken advantage of him, but still, entertaining.
My picks
Brock Lesnar
Kenny Florian
Gonzaga
Demian Maia
Dustin Hazelett
Jorge Gurgel
Jeremy Stephens
Alvin Robinson
Matt Brown
Aoki is great his jitz is crazy
My picks
________
Couture v Lesnar~ I want to say Randy forsure, then ofcourse the pure size and strength of Lesnar is a concern.. I can see how both could win also don’t count out Captain America yet he hasn’t fought competetivly in over 400 days soo I’m just going to watch this fight objectively and enjoy it to its fullest
Stevenson over KenFlo, Joe seems rather pissed that many consider him the underdog and perhaps he will put a beating on KenFlo(I’m a fan of both)
GG~by sub
Maia~should take it to the ground asap sub attempt after sub attempt til successful
Hazlett
Gurgel
dos Anjos
Robinson
Matt Brown
Kris I put the wrong e~mail on my last post owell iguess
my picks
randy couture- by tko 1st rnd…I believe randy is just to experienced to lose to lesner…ya brock is huge but everytime people underestimate the natural what happens he dominates…and guess what randy is the underdog again so therefore randy will win and i believe he will come out and just throw a big right and drop lesnar and finish him on the ground early in the first or late submission in the 3rd rnd
kenny florian- joe is good but the only way joe wins is by a miracle guillotine and kennys jits is to good for joe to submit him..kenflo has better stand up so i believe this fight will either be a unanimous decsion for kenflo or a tko by kenflo
hendricks-Im feeling hendricks for my upset pick this month and i think he will gonzaga may have supposivly come back with a win over mccully but i really question his dedication to this sport as of late and i think hendricks is gonna surprise everyone with a tko in the 2nd werdum style!
maia- im pickin maia….to win i see it playing out in quarrys favor though….nate will rock maia eventually most likely then rush to the ground to finish him off and get caught and be submitted via maiangle choke(get it)…late in the 2nd
hazlett- I think if gono can catch mccrory then mclovin sure can……mclovin is gonna catch the barn cat in the 3rd round with a MCarmbar and walk away from the fight a MCwinner
gurgel- hard worker, great heart..loves the sport and i gotta rep the ohio fighters…gurgel to much experience with better fighters will finally show some jits and submit riley
lil heathen- to much octagon experience….has faced good fighters and will win by a big UD
bocek- could care less who wins this one but i think mark is gonna finally get that second win in the octagon
matt brown- trains with team JG and im pickin team JG to go 3/3 saturday night…matt brown with steam over the tank engine with a sick TKO
carrear? epic fail
t3chn3tnium, ……..go look at 4chan or something this isnt sherdog..we dont say epic fail
oh but sorry for just typing and not proof reading my posts before i post them…let me do that for you some time here from now on ill spell check my posts and then ask you the post master if its ok to post..your the kind of keyboard warrior i eat for breakfast…..the only thing epic fail here is that you are actually “that guy” who guys around checking spelling on all posts till you find a mispelled word and then b**ch about it and your that cool to actually post about it
WOW, hey Gun I took a lil jab at u in the other post, don’t attack me as such thx
i wont
Thx
I will read some shh on sherdog occasionally (not a member tho) anyways if u remember SlicKid that use to post here (thx Kris)I believe he post there because someone randomly quoted a entire song go figure and suprisingly no one tore him up for it
Junkietopteam I believe is what he calls himself found it annoyingly humorious
it was that bad i had to say something about it
as for your “attack” did you think of that all by yourself? i’m amused.
keyboard warrior? sorry i wouldn’t stoop that low to even classify myself as a keyboard warrior.. i come to this site to get the latest info.. and occasionally say my 2 cents. if you don’t like it. buy a Websters. but thanks for the laugh.
Can’t we all just get along?
Oh, and spell properly.
Lesnar will lay and pray and get the win. It will be probably the most boring fight on the card. I will probably be able to read the sports page during that fight and not miss anything. Blah.
O we all get along just tiffs every now and again happen owell no worries huh
The lay n pray could happen I hope it doesn’t but definately a possibility
BSBiz, you are probably right. My prediction is either lesnar by muscle blanket or randy by decision. I can’t decide. I won’t hate on Brock tho, wrestling doesn’t prepare you to finish a fight that can’t be won by a pin. Watch out for brocks knees to the ribs if randy is on all 4’s.
In regards to the spelling, I have to admit that it bugs me from time to time, but you just have to deal with it. You can’t expect everyone to be perfect, and certainly not to proofread everything. Also, I realize that some people may be commenting from mobile devices (aka Crackberries and the like) and its much harder to care about spelling then.
Hey, leave my CrackBerry out of it….
haha, no worries, I may be just as bad when I get my IPhone.
FR702 and anyone else that has a crackberry, can you give me any tips or tricks for mine. I haven’t had it real long. I have messed around with the browser config, it made some pages look better but made them take forever to load. If I turn on all the java crap and come to this site, my phone will lock up. Any info is appreciated.
