***The Destroyer from Dixie will be pullin' for Faber, Boetsch, Jordan (vs. Queen Kongo), Delorme and Carvalho (vs. mestizo Pineda).

 

[Zeus]

Very bad card in quality in my opinion, but I am rooting for our guys too. Not a fan of any of the guys who compete though, but I hope Boetch and Jordan to win.

 

[Anak]

Yeah, I can't believe they expect people to pay 60 bucks for that.

 

[Liverlips]

I disagree. Lots o' caste matches and whites featured in every fight. Decent card - of course, I watch online!

 

[Liverlips]

How impressive is Mitch Clark? Canada has a very good MMA scene.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Clarke gassed. I think Ryan Jimmo will be very impressive. He would have been in the UFC sooner, if not for losing to Gerald Harris at the TUF tryouts a few years ago. Canada has had a bunch of very good fighters, and the whites seem to dominate in all their sports.

 

[Liverlips]

Kuivaneen the Finn wins a SD. Two good white prosepcts at 155.

 

[Liverlips]

Carvalho (white Canadian of Portuguese descent) KOs Pineda!

 

[Liverlips]

Bang! Jimmo KOs Perosh in 7 seconds!

 

[Hawkeye2]

Great win by Jimmo.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Apparently Nick Ring brought his partner to the fight.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Court McGee got screwed over again. I had him winning both the second and third round and so did Joe Rogan and all the judges on sherdog.

 

[Liverlips]

"Apparently Nick Ring brought his partner to the fight."

Is he really openly gay? Someone else on CF said that before as well.

 

[Liverlips]

Matt Riddle looking good. All his fights have been in the UFC.

 

[Liverlips]

Money head and arm triangle by Riddle.

 

[Liverlips]

Joe Rogan ain't lying. Ebersole lost a considerable amount of muscle mass in just a few weeks. I hear he was getting ready for a cut to 155.

Not sure why - he is 4-0 at 170 in the UFC.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Ebersole is such an exciting fighter he'll be unstopable at 155, if he can make a healthy cut. Mike Swick tried it and looked terrible.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Ebersole not looking to good, I think he over-looked James Head.

 

[Liverlips]

Ebersole looked like he was sleepwalking in there.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I think one of the problems with Ebersole is that he takes too many fights. He is only 31 and has fought almost 70 fights, He tries to do four fights a year and is willing to take fights on short notice. It's also been reported that he trains too hard and trains in three different countries, Thailand, Australia, and the United States. I think after doing that your body starts to take a toll on you. Keith Jardine was another notorious trainer, and that's probably what ended his career.

 

[Hawkeye2]

If Jordan has any chance against Kongo, he'll have to take it to the ground.

 

[Liverlips]

Both guys gassed. Kongo is on the downsidee of his career and Jordan could have won this if he got a takedown or two.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Wow the Jordan Kongo fight had to be the boringest fight ever. Both guys should be kicked out of the UFC, all Kongo did was Wall and Stall for the entire fight, and Jordan did nothing.

 

[Liverlips]

Boetsch takes round 1!

 

[Hawkeye2]

I have it
Boetch round 1
Lombard round 2
Boetch round 3
boring fight though
