Karo absolutely deserves a title shot this year too!

The fight night on the 23rd looks like a promising card.

Yeah, it looks like one of the best Spike cards to date. I'm stoked.

Poor Karo is in limbo though. He was dominated by GSP already and Jon Fitch would more than likely beat Karo in the same manner. He's one of my favorite fighters, but as the welterweight division sits right now, he's outside of the top 5 looking in.

You're pretty knowledgeable Goodfella, you should join up on MMAPlayground and get your picks in!

Do you work tomorrow? This airs @ 3PM, it's in England but it will be shown at 10PM too.

AKIRA · 01-19-2008, 12:28 AM

Yeah. I hope Hooters has it at its regular time. Everyone there is an idiot, so I may be in luck!!

ReproMan · 01-19-2008, 04:33 PM

So... Did anyone watch it yet??

I won't spoil it if ya haven't.

AKIRA · 01-19-2008, 04:40 PM

Dont.

Goodfella9783 · 01-19-2008, 11:29 PM

Great card tonight if you're a fan of KO's.

There was enough blood in the Stevenson fight to make one think someone in the fight died. Jeez...

Repro: I missed that post about the fantasy thing. I'll sign up in time for the fight night on Wed. Thanks.

I did horrible on my picks this card...I enjoyed the fights though.

I feel bad for Stevenson. However, now I am rooting for BJ Penn to beat Sherk.

I don't know, shrek is an ogre, he can hold his own. Might be a little green though....

Anyone else notice that Gonzaga had "Condom Depository" (or something like that) written, in big letters, on his ass?

**IainDaniel** · 01-21-2008, 09:38 AM

Why you looking at his ass?

MMA News Weekly - Tonya Harding and Butterbean on the same card

I'm going to watch Tonya Harding whoops some ass this up coming Saturday. I don't much give a shit abotu butterbean. I have read that Tonya isn't half bad. I wonder if she picked up some dirty moves in prison.

It's hard not to like Butterbean. Sure the guy is a freakshow, but it's been pretty obvious from his last few fights that he's learning and paying attention to his training.

Like 15 years ago, he was just another average joe who worked his way up the Toughman ladder, to become successful in professional boxing and make it all the way into Pride and still win is something that shouldn't be scoffed at.

In case you haven't seen it:

Jones Jr. vs. Trinidad

Ooooh! Thanks! I always liked Jones Jr.

UFN tonight was pretty fucking awesome.

Goodfella9783 · 01-24-2008, 06:07 AM

I thought the main event sucked. I had it a draw 28-28.

Round 1 10-9 Burkman
Round 2 10-9 Swick
Round 3 9-9

Neither scored any points in the last round it was pretty awful. Reminded me of Koscheck vs. Sanchez. Let your fuckin hands go fellas! Burkman did the same shit in TUF.

I was yelling at the screen man, Swick just wouldn't pull the trigger. I agree with you, should have been a draw.
