Thanks for the reminder. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I missed the chance to continue my **** streak

I'm pretty keen to see how Anton Kuivanen performs in his first big outing, been looking like a pretty hot prospect, this card also gives me a chance to channel all my hate for Dillishaw

This weekends card is STAAAAAACKED!

Preliminary card (Facebook)
Featherweight bout: Zhang Tiequan vs. Issei Tamura

Preliminary card (FX)
Bantamweight bout: Takeya Mizugaki vs. Chris Cariaso
Middleweight bout: Riki Fukuda vs. Steve Cantwell
Bantamweight bout: Norifumi Yamamoto vs. Vaughan Lee
Lightweight bout: Takanori Gomi vs. Eiji Mitsuoka

Main card
Lightweight bout: Anthony Pettis vs. Joe Lauzon
Featherweight bout: Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski
Middleweight bout: Yushin Okami vs. Tim Boetsch
Welterweight bout: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields
Heavyweight bout: Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt
Light Heavyweight bout: Quinton Jackson vs. Ryan Bader
Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar (c) vs. Ben Henderson





There's almost 100% certainty that there will be multiple fights that are scrappy as ****, Gomi needs to win or he's done, Fukuda always brings it, Palaszewski needs to prove he's still relevant, KONGO VS HUNT.... potential right here for fight card of the year.

Rampage got a little lazy it seems, might have enjoyed himself a little too much just now:

Over by 5 pounds, loses 20% of his purse...ouch.

[Nekosan]

Despite all the **** talking i think he was always just in it for the money, never been a real fighter at heart. Of course he's also a teeensy bit chemically unbalanced as well so you never know wtf he was up to.

With UFC Japan tomorrow, time for some MMA history

I feel bad, i just had a look at the new Sherdog fantasy picks thingo and I think my win/lose picks are exactly the same as the overwhelming majority on there .

Sherdoggers are bad an I should feel bad.
