It is going to be a hell of night forsure
fr,
what’s your avatar from?
damn forgot this was 2maro already, sweet!
Didn’t we hear something about Faber/Pulver 2 on this card?
com’on Justin you dont know????
It s from Ninja Scroll, if you like Anime seriously check it out
I’ll look into it, thanks. I like anime, but I’m not a nut about it. Mostly just watch some of whats available on Adult Swim (lame, I know).
one, Adult Swim is awesome for mindless entertainment a nice calming retarded effect once done with along day
two, this is a Anime that is “old school” bloody, interesting, an actual story line, great monster, violent… its pretty cool imo, its not that fluffy blah Anime
FR, check your messages.
Now to try to get back on topic….
For tomorrow night:
Torres
Bowles
Fabiano
Swanson
That’s the only fighters I know enough about to make a pick.
oh yeah, palaszewki over karalexis
back to you
I pick,
Torres
Bowles v Ribeiro (could go either way imo)
Benavidez
Haskins
Barros
Nunes v Province (i dont know anything about these two)
Palaszewski
Cub
Budnik (he makes cool rims)
I know this is off topic (again I’m taking this off topic) but I thought you guys might be interested in reading a guys blog about training at Matt Hughes’ H.I.T. Squad.
justin and fr if u dont mind watchin it in japanese wit subtitles i kno a website where u can watch almost any anime including every episode of bleach i think there up to 197. as for this event i love how theres only 1 fight thats above the 170 weight class before the last one i said they should cut the fihlo sonnen fight for torres vs tapia or conduit vs someone gotta love the lighter weights. who ever was asking bout faber vs pulver II its on the next wec card wit cowboy vs varner as the main event.
on a side note kris i tried to register and still havnt gotten a confirmation email. any ideas? am i blacklisted?!
I looked at the title and said “So this wasn’t the one Carano was supposed to be fighting at…”
Also, isn’t this 37?
huerta,
Thanks for that…my wife doesn’t like the subtitles, so I have to wait for the English dubbed ones. :\
Definitely looking forward to tonight, just found out there’s fights on HDNet Friday, and next thursday…if only I actually had an HDTV then it would be worth it to pay for the HD package.
About your registration, mine came through quickly, but I’ve seen where other people had some problems…Kris will take care of it I’m sure.
dbiz,
funny. I think that was proposed to be in Feb or something…she’s still talking about strikeforce though.
Holy crap… one of us mouth-breathers is married? I’m sorry Justin, you should have worked on your submission defense better. Then you might have been able to escape.
And if the title says, “Fighters make weight for _______” you know it’s not Gina Carano’s. Not that I hold it against her… As long as she’s on the TV, I’m watching.
bsbiz, he’s not the only one. Mine put me in a triangle and I loved it.
FR, I thought your avatar was Shaggy…sorry, not up on my anime.
As for the topic…I just like watching fights. Just makes it better when it’s a great card. Cub, Alex, Shane at the bottom of the list. Whatever.
Tapia’s a fierce lil bastard. He has his work cut out for him obviously. I just hope it’s not Torres time to slip like the california kid.
bsbiz,
No complaints about my marriage. Also don’t mind having to wait to watch anime in English. I’d rather do that than have her thing I’m a nerd for watching it in the first place.
surfing,
I’m not happy about these guys being at the bottom of the card either, but really its a full card, someone’s got to get on TV and someone’s got to fight on the prelims, if they’re good fights we may see them on Wreckage later.
Also, I hope Torres doesn’t mess up like Faber did.
Yeah this is 37, not sure what the hell I’m thinking. Thanks for the heads up!
