UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera

[Liverlips]

Non-black Brazilians and Asians always come in to the cage to rock music songs as opposed to black music.

Only about half of white fighters seem to nowadays.

It's a song I linked in the music videos thread

Rua getting a much tougher fight than expected.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I guess Machida will be facing Jones. Shogun is gassed and Vera has no TDD.

 

[Liverlips]

Pains me to say it but Rua is another white 205-er in decline. He should pull this fight out though.

 

[Anak]

Well, Vera definitely put up a hell of a fight, wasn't expecting that. Machida will get the shot I guess. They need to match Gustafsson up against someone that with a win against he will get a title shot.

 

[Liverlips]

Glad Swick and Rua got the wins. Hope Lauzon and De Fries can put some wins together.

Lauzon looked good, DeFries doesn't impress me though.

More bad news, I guess Rory is out of the fight with B.J. Penn due to a gash on his head. On a postive note it's nothing career threatening, and he'll probably have a match in a few months.

Hopefully BJ waits.

 

[Hawkeye2]

That's probably what will happen.
