For sure? Since when are opinions "for sure"? Maybe he wasn't medically cleared, which is what happened. After his fight with Shogun he is tested and run through a medical test. If anything arrises they bring him into a specialist. They did. The specialist said he cannot fight for a period of time. How is that "ducking"?
I don't think Aldo will "steamroll" Hominick at all, actually. I think that will be the FOTN.
GSP-Shields will end like all of GSP's "biggest challenges to date" 5 shutout rounds of boring,yet extremely effective ground and pound.
Couture-Machida has a chance to be very,very boring. A Karate fighter vs. an old fighter that has basically turned into a dirty boxer at this point of his career. I see a lot of clinch avoiding by Machida, lots of chasing by Couture, and eventually Machida winning with a counter strike, ref stoppage.
Why isn't it racism for Ryan Mallett? Is Mallet being unfairly judged because he is white? Or was Tim Tebow? Or Jordan Shipley? Or Toby Gerhart? Or Wes Welker?
White "skill" players are frowned upon because they "lack athleticism" which means they are white.
Newton is receiving criticism not because he is black, but because he has been in trouble before, for some serious allegations. He made ridiculous comments. He has swagger, and hasn't earned it. He has a terrible arm, and made horrid throws at the combine.
Using race as an excuse invites more skepticism, because it shows how childish and weak he is mentally.
Good thought. But who could Phil fight? Shogun? Maybe Machida, if he beats Randy? Rampage?
I know a lot of people are trying to push for Phil-Jones, but Phil simply isn't ready. 3 of his last 5 fights have been decisions. He needs to learn to be more explosive if he wants to get in there with the real big dogs.
Hey Roni... what have I missed? Just got home... and no offense, but I find it a little weird that you have been conversing with yourself for this long :)
Completely unrealistic. Rua wasn't tentative, he was overmatched. He was outweighed at fight time by about 30 pounds. He was on his back for 2 straight rounds.
Lesnar at 2 is a joke. He was finished in the first 3 minutes in 2 of his 7 fights, and should have been TKO'd in the 1st in another. He is top 7 or 8 at best.

"Hello, media?"
"yes, how can I help you?"
"Um, I am too simple minded to think for myself so can you please tell me how to feel?

I would LOVE to see Diaz-Sadollah. That would be just a strike happy brawl.
PS: Has anyone else noticed that Sadollah has a friggin steel chin lately? Just walking through shots....
Face it, Jones is the real deal.
Cain, and JDS should be 1 and 2.
