cyborg is pretty much out on his feet after the flurry from diaz... he needed to stick with the leg kicks
The 2nd round isn't going to last long....

Dude I hate Diaz so much but there is no doubt that he's a top 10 WW.

Also I loved the Jacre fight and the Roger Gracie fight. Both of them have amazingly slick jiu-jitsu, which should be pretty obvious considering that they are 2/3 of the Holy Trinity of grappling.

Just read an article on espn in which Diaz's agent thinks that the Mayhem fight will happen this year as well as a pro boxing match.

I only caught the last 2 fights last night, but they were both pretty good.
Strikeforce may not have the depth as the UFC, but they can still put together some good matchups.

The thing with Strikeforce is that they are purposely dancing around matching him up with any wrestlers that are in their prime. Neither of the Diaz brothers is any good against wrestlers. Sure he has won his last 9 fights but only one was against a wrestler and that was over the hill Frank Shamrock.

When he was in the UFC he had 3 straight UD losses to people with some wrestling background (Sherk, Riggs and Sanchez) and earlier in his career he lost a "split" decision to Parisyan. People act like he would kill GSP but GSP only has 2 losses and has avenged them both. Diaz has 7 losses and he has only avenged 2 of them.

Also 4 of his brother Nate's 6 losses were against good wrestlers.

I'm terrible with guessing SF cards lol.

Here we go:

Fedor Emelianenko
Sergei Kharitonov (I love AA but he's fallen on hard times and I think Sergei is the tournament Dark Horse)
Shane Del Rosario (the other dude has a 82" reach but still)
Gianpiero Villante
Valentijn Overeem (probably wishful thinking considering he barely has a .500 record)

Marc Stevens
Igor Gracie
Josh LaBerge
Randy Best

Well Arlovski was actually doing pretty well against Fedor, until he jumped into his fist. He's lost his last 3 fights in a row :(

AA needs to stop fighting. He has one of the glassiest jaws ever and he's lost his speed. He had his back to the cage the whole fight and clinching was a huge mistake.

Fedor being overrated: Confirmed.

If Overeem loses in April this tournament is dead in the water. They did a poll which showed that Fedor, Overeem and AA made up more than 85% of the votes, which means they are clear fan favorites.

This is a real curve ball for the Heavyweight ranking scheme. If Overeem wins over Werdum it will be even more so. I would go as far as saying the winner of Reem v Werdum gets the #2 spot and if it's Overeem, depending on how he progresses through the tournament possibly the #1. Werdum can't be #1 to me because JDS completely wrecked him.

All I know is that Dana must have the biggest shit eating grin right now lol.

I knew once Fedor started fighting some legitimate guys that he would lose some fights.
I still think there's 5-6 guys in UFC that could easily beat him. But he got that legendary status with his name already so he really has nothing to prove. He can just write this off as getting old now.

Fedor got raped man...the guy who knocked out Arlovski looked Scary and that reserve guy Del Rosario looked great too he reminds me of Cain and he's like 14 and 0. Oh and after the fight Dana White posted on Twitter ":)" hahaha

I would say that Fedor has beat more legitimate guys in his career than almost any other fighter. Between about 2001 and 2007 he was fighting the cream of the crop and before the Werdum loss his only blemishes on his career were a NC to Big Nog, they collided heads and bad cut opened on Fedor, and one of the stupidest losses in mma history, his opponent cut him with an illegal elbow but it was in a tourny and he was unable to continue so they gave his opponent a W. Retarded.

I think that 4 of the top 6 heavyweights that are part of the UFC could completely roll him as well as Overeem. Those 4 being Cain, Brock, JDS and Carwin, although I'd say Brock and Carwin have a bigger chance of getting caught with a sub. The other 2 top 10 UFC guys (Mir and Big Nog) might have some trouble.

Also you have to take into account that prior to the Werdum fight Fedor hadn't fought a guy with excellent ground game for about 6 years (Nog). Then he fought 2 in a row and got decimated. Interesting.

Yeah I'll take Gurgel, his opponent is some no name.

Also Feijao's leg looks so weird in that poster.
