Everyone thought the main event would suck but it was one of the best fights ever.

People are going to have to stop doubting Edgar eventually. Dude comes to fight every time and this time came back from being knocked out to winning the next 4 rounds I thought (3 of 4 on judges scorecards) to get a split draw. Maynard couldn't take him down at all and Frankie managed a big slam and also took him down a lot. Pretty sick fight.

Leben got KTFO which made me sad, I like his style.

Can't stand the Diaz bros so I'm glad Nate lost. That "mean mug" he does every fight makes me laugh so hard. I want someone to go Thiago Silva on him and slap it right off his face.

Guida fights like a crackhead. It's amazing he never gasses out. He's putting together a nice streak hopefully he can take a step up.

Any other thoughts on the night's festivities?

I am really surprised the Edgar fight was a draw. Maynard beat the Hell out of him that first round, and I thought Edgar rebounded enough to warrant at least a split decision win. Either way, it was still a good fight.

I thought he won 2,3,4, & 5 but I could see 3 going to Maynard. I was pissed because of the immediate rematch. I wanted to see Pettis v Edgar because I really like the way Pettis fights (Those of you who don't know him, he's the kick off the cage guy). Now he'll have to wait and possibly fight someone before the title fight and that always brings in the risk of a loss and never actually getting that title shot.

He was never a HW title contender but he competed at HW despite being much smaller than everyone else. Everyone told him if he moved to LHW he would be unstoppable and he believed it. He's a head case. His stand up could be amazing but he lacks fire and heart, and got his face rearranged for it.

I think he needs to go to a new camp and train different stuff with different people. His MT is awesome but his ground game lacks as you saw on Saturday.

Yes he was. Vera vs Sylvia @ UFC 77 if Vera won that he got a title shot.

That would be a great fight. However, I figured Dana would make Pettis fight a regular match in UFC before giving him a title shot.

I watched it and thought it was a good card. Brian Stann surprised me since I've never seen him fight before. I've never thought Leben was that good only this generations "Tank Abbott" if you will. Damn, and Wandy is getting called out by everyone now...Leben, Stann, and Sonnen have all asked to fight him.

Vera is done. He is just not that good. I'd be shocked if Dana doesnt cut him.

I'm not surprised the main event went the way it did. It deserved a draw. Props to Edgar for taking that ass whooping and surviving the 1st rd.

Laughed when Dong Kim, after beating Nate Diaz, asked for GSP.

Here was Alistar Overeems Dynamite fight over the weekend jump to the 3:20 part to see the fight.

Yeah I don't get why Wandy is getting called out by everyone either. I understand Sonnen because of the Brazil thing in the car but other than that who knows. Stann sure was impressive but I do think Leben will rebound and is better than he showed.

Vera will hopefully rework his camps and IF he gets released get a few wins under his belt and come back with a better mindset. I'm wondering if he could make 185.

Isn't the logical step up from Diaz GSP? Kim might be confused lol.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
