Im going to my best to go this fight…. It should be a good card and I really had a great time at their last card…. Plus Lil Shammy v Diaz how can u not want to try and translate their individual lissspss and shhh talking, thats just pure comedy plus they’re going to fight ya good times.. Possibly The Punk v Gilbert II amongst others ya I believe I just talked myself into it even futher
This card has serious potential to kick some major ace. Totally psyched.
I still want Kimbo vs Sapp.
hope diaz knocks frank out then come back to the ufc,
Hey willyd . from what I heard its gonna happen eventually. Sapp and Kimbo is gonna be the 35 second atomic blow out . The first punches thrown will be for the kill and after that its like two girls in a spazz show slugfest . You know … those big wide looping punches that look like a whirl-wind slappy slap .I’d give the edge to sapp in this one but kimbo may get lucky . Cant wait
They are still trying to figure out a catch weight, Kimbo 235lbs vs Sapp 350lbs! Street style vs NFL style, be interesting.
Kevin Ferguson, never turns down a fight remember……
