pretty good card

BJ Penn vs Frankie Edgar (again)
Randy Couture vs James Toney (MMA vs BOXING)

Im picking Penn and Couture

James Toney, Penn, Florian, Maia, and Marcus Davis

you really think JT has a legit shot or are you just routing for the underdog?

I feel he may have a little trouble coming in to shoot, and will get caught. Toney has some power and couture has a questionable chin.

I think he should leg kick Toney into oblivion and then shoot a takedown but we'll see. Excited bout the hype either way.

Toney will control about the first minute of the fight, but then couture will start the dirty boxing and get him to the ground.

After that, it's over. Couture will get a submission because Toney won't really know what he's doing and give up a choke of some kind.

Besides that, I agree with all of your picks except I picked Diaz over Jones (but I could go either way)

ok. i was talking to my buddies and i think that is the only place he'll have a chance...catch randy shooting in with a short uppercut or low cross.

if it goes to the ground i don't think it will end gnp. i think he'll get submitted quickly.

james toney takes daily supplements of bacon grease

Are you implying Toney is overweight?!?

JT is a fat dbag and got mauled like the tool he is. Go back to inhaling Big Macs like tic tacs dark emperor. What a retard...

I was surprised Penn lost

pretty good card overall

Frankie just DOMINATED BJ (even more than last time). I saw Frankie beat Sherk at UFC 98 in Vegas and at first I thought it was just the end of Sherk but looking back, that was just pure Edgar dominance. Love that kid! BTW BJ did not deserve that rematch anyway - Frankie deserved a chance to defend his title vs another top competitor at least once. Lets not have a Tito - Shamrock saga again where the hasbeen keeps getting another chance to get his butt kicked. (OK OK BJ isn't really a hasbeen yet)

Toney v. Randy was a no brainer. I mean Toney has been training for 9 months and running his mouth more than my boy Chael (though with less to back it up than Chael). He had nothing but a "punchers chance" if that.

Who saw J Lo - Ruediger? Talk about a beat down. I wonder if Gabe wants his cake back...

I'm highly disappointed that Dana let Diaz fight in the UFC after the Strikeforce BS. That brawl was a step back in trying to convince the mainstream of the legitimacy of the sport. Dana says that Strikeforce should have acted quicker after that and yahdahyahdah and then let's Diaz fight? Not cool.

And speaking of Strickforce debacle - anyone watch the Houston fights? I was there and am thoroughly disappointed that the TX athletic commission didn't change the result of the Noons fight to at least a draw. Though I think it should have been ruled a win for Gurgel by DQ. The strike after the first round was clearly after the bell and Gurgel never recovered from it. Then top it off with the illegal knee to the head at the end of the fight. Sheesh!

Oh and I forgot about Ken Flo! What is up with him choking under pressure (like Dana said)? That guy has some natural talent and yet it seems every time he has a real chance to do something huge he chokes! Kills me cuz he's a great fighter and a good image for the sport. Love when he does MMA Live or fills in for Rogan.

Oh yeah, Wrec 86, who called this title fight? You got Silva right (though come on - Chael winning 4/5 rounds is huge! If that boy ever bothers to train BJJ for real, look out!). But I got Frankie! Boo yah!
