Rex, I just skimmed the comments here and of course the words that caught my eye were all from you - first, I saw the word "butthurt" and then I read "If i had to swear off pork i'd likely pine away inside a year."

Oh really?

Got something to tell us?

If Bennett is in the next season I am out. I will miss Kos's hair though *sniff*.

Psyched for Bellator this week. War Cherokee nation.

As usual the the Strikeforce event will be the worst.

Sorry Rex I live in OC/LA area and being that I'm a huge Boston fan I just thought I should put that out there... as far as the upcoming cards go I'm not that stoked on the varner shalapoo main event. Shalapoos stand up is just so ugly and obnoxious. I'm sure varner will be quiker and more technical but shalapoo has a chin and WAY better wrestling so that means I will be stuck seeing 15 min of the slopfest shalapoo and his corners call stand up.

I am looking forward too Fisher v. Siver though... that should be a great scrap.

















GOOOOOOOOO BOSTON WOOP WOOP!!!!!
sorry I had to do that.

Back on the CP.

Hmmm, I didn't really watch this season so I don't really care about this card overall.

However, it would be nice to see Hamill pick up a win, and running Keith "Chin Like A House Of Cards" Jardine out of the promotion would be wonderful.

Same goes for Simpson over Leben. But for different reasons. Unless Leben can prove that when he gets frustrated he can do more than throw painfully slow haymakers. Prove me wrong Chris, prove me wrong.

Kosher would never fly for me, i'm too southern. If i had to swear off pork i'd likely pine away inside a year.


Ham tastes good, bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...


There, my daily PF reference taken care of.

Man..you got BG coming here to comfort you when your slighted....who's pulling the strings around here Rex? Your going to Bellator too? Damn, I don't know whether you guys are strange bedfellows...or a match made in heaven. Does Mamaplata enjoy kosher meals?

El Famous Burrito Says:

When has any WEC card turned out to be total shit?


^^THIS.^^

Justscrappin>>> Tyler Stinson vs Pecanha should be good. Or quick. I talked to a local gym owner/trainer who says Stinson has another tough fight in front of him--Pecanha has sick jits.

Lisa Ward fighting. My first look at her.

Rudy Bears is fighting, he was in a throwdown last time.

Cole Konrad is on the card, if you like to point and laugh at people on tv.

Oh, and you can play "Where's ReX?", since i'm trying to go in an official capacity.

They have a better shit-to-shinola ratio than Strikeforce.

Amazing bunch of fights this week. I can't believe how many people are complaining that the WEC card is shit (Not on CP, we're better than that). Everyone is going to be in for a surprise.

Drano....you read my mind. You must have some mental telepathy....but I in no way called you on the phone and told you that. I pick the sure things...they get upset...I pick the prospects and up and comers...they are still to green. I pick Jon Jones...he delivers twelve to six elbows....WTF! So yes..in my blood pressures best interests....I refrain.

It sucks because if you have seen the bushido interviews of krazy horse...or "kid khaos" he is hilarious. Thing is...he is so hood...that anyone could talk some shit...and get him kicked off the show. I know he is basically a criminal...and alot of upstanding people aren't going to want him representing mma...but he ko'd KJ Noons...and that is enough for me.

First order of business... Nooger is a noob

Now on to more interesting topics... The Boston Celtics will put the final nail in the Lakers coffin tonight. I will be obliterated by the time the game ends so expect some drunken posts by 9pm.

Only **three** notable events this week huh? I'm a little bit butthurt about that.

TUF12 should be a good season, regardless of the fighters, I've always wanted to see GSP in a coaching slot (next should be Brock - zomg I would bust a nut if he was coach) and there should be good drama with Koscheck as the opposing coach.

Also, there were rumors that Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett is a fighter on the show, now that my friends, is true reality 'break your head in with a steel pipe' tv.
