Looks like we're pretty much on the same page.

And that Pettis kick was right on the money. Pettis has some really good kicks.

Jackson came in around 210 i guess. I wonder if that will change Bader's plans at all. He should look for the take down immediately.

211. Had to forfeit 20% of his purse. Depending on why he came in heavy, the cut could have weakened him some, Bader could gas Rampage out by making him wrestle.

I think that's his best option. Bader is a really good wrestler. He's alright on his feet, but he stands a better chance trying to gas out Rampage like you said. How do you think Rampage will win?

Decision or KO if he can keep it on his feet. Although he has a heavy right hand, Bader isn't much of a striker.

 

[bchampy]

Holy shit!! What a comeback!

 

[numone9er]

You said it. I've always liked Boetsch, but i thought he was done there. He's got vicious knees and upper cuts that are always dangerous.

Interesting song choice for Akiyama. Even more interesting is how serious he is about it...

I was just saying to someone how funny it is the Japanese fighters walk out to fruity techno and dance music. Now we got opera. lol

It's a strange choice, that's for sure.

My link went down. How's the Jake Shields fight going?

Shields won by decision.

Thanks. I guess the opera music didn't help Akiyama this time.

1-1 on my pics so far.

My link is still down. Did Kongo lose?

Yup. Hunt knocked him out 2 mins into the 1st round.

 

[Kinzu]

Shields did not win that fight 30-27. MMA is getting to the point were you just need to attempt takedowns to win. Shields got stuffed over and over while Akiyama threw him through the mat twice, but attempts and pressure score so highly right now in the sport.
