1. Great card it should be awesome

I should be around during it. Off and on anyway.

[d_b]

2. I hate to go against Shogun

But Lyoto said he'd move up and fight Brock if he defends his title 5 times :D

[Wetzelbill]

4. I called Shogun for the upset

I doubt it will happen, but I think it has some of the makings of one. But damn, it would be nice to see Lyoto fight Brock, that would be insane.

Anderson Silva vs Lyoto THAT would be the best fight out there I think. Too bad they say they'll never fight, however, I think they eventually will. Machida fought his brother before in competition, so I think he'd fight Anderson if it came to that.

[d_b]

7. Yea I dunno

Shogun has never been ko or tko'd, so I'm thinkin' Lyoto decision; but I agree that Shogun can certainly pull it off...I just don't think he will.

Regarding Anderson, Lyoto still insists that he'll NEVER fight Anderson =( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqdD2n0NOPA He also talks about Fedor in this video.

Anderson and Roy Jones Jr. really want that boxing match, and I predict Anderson will leave the UFC sometime next year for that match.

[d_b]

3. 2-1 so far

fuckin' Al-hassan...


The two prelims will air on Spike in 15 minutes

[Wetzelbill]

5. those should be fun fights

[Wetzelbill]

6. Video: Lyoto Machida's roots in Brazil

8. turn it to spike if you've cable tv

[Wetzelbill]

11. no cable

I refuse to get it because I watch too much tv when I do, lol.

Well I am going to go for a bit, I'll be back later.

[d_b]

12. see ya

[d_b]

9. damn sonnen beat okami

must have been a blanket-fest

[d_b]

10. wow what a bitch move from hardonk

[d_b]

13. IT.IS.TIME

[d_b]

14. 4-3

Rumble beat that ass

[d_b]

15. COME ON NEER YA BUM

[Wetzelbill]

16. I think I agree with Rogan here

Machida looks to be way more focused and ready. That could change of course, but man, just from looking at demeanor Shogun might be in trouble. Machida looks like a killer.

[Wetzelbill]

17. Damn Shogun looks great

He seemed nervous but I gave him the first round.

[Wetzelbill]

18. I got Shogun up 2 rounds to none

Amazing. They are close of course.

[VMI Dem]

19. Agree.

[d_b]

20. damn bro

shogun is looking FUCKING GREAT.

[d_b]

21. 2nd rnd was so close

I dunno...

guess i'd give it to rua

[Wetzelbill]

23. you could say Shogun is up 3 zip

probably 2-1 though.

[Wetzelbill]

24. Round 4 to Shogun I think

He should win this fight. You could give him even 3 on damage. Machida looks confused by those leg counters.

[d_b]

27. lol it aint over yet

but ill be so happy for him if he wins

[VMI Dem]

31. Ha. Fix is in.

[d_b]

45. just as ugly as biscan vs Hamill

only worse because a title was on the line. I'm sorry, but if Lyoto has any honor he'll give that shit to Shogun. You saw the WTFIWON look on his face. Notice Dana didn't seem to care about the robbery though...

fucker.

[d_b]

22. ugh

those final explosions can decide a round. i hope the judges gave it to shogun

[VMI Dem]

25. Machida's ribs.

Ouch.

[d_b]

26. qft

i just can't believe i'm witnessing this. Lyoto looks...human

[d_b]

28. if machida wins this...

[d_b]

30. BULLFUCKINGSHIT

[Wetzelbill]

34. Nothing against Machida

I love the guy, but that was a poor decision.

[d_b]

44. yes...

DAMNIT BILL MAKE SHERDOG WORK

[Wetzelbill]

32. wow bad decision

I was surprised it was that close if it went the other way.

[d_b]

35. no fucking way machida won that

[Wetzelbill]

37. I can't see how you could give it to him

Perplexing.

[d_b]

46. my boy is like

"you're just influenced by rogan's biased commentary"

...

Yea watch it with the sound off mofucka, not much is going to change.

[d_b]

47. press conference

[Wetzelbill]

29. I got it 5-0 Shogun

But they every one but RD4 I think was close enough to make a case for Machida.

[VMI Dem]

33. I had it 5-0 Shogun too...maybe 4-1. What a joke.

[Wetzelbill]

36. yes maybe 4-1

any more than that is pushing it.

[d_b]

38. i dont even know what to say

i'm just fuckin so pissed right now

[Wetzelbill]

39. it's tough to see a guy

Come back from all that he's had to go through, fight like that and then get robbed.

[VMI Dem]

40. That decision makes the Bisping v Hamill debacle look legit.

Pathetic.

[Wetzelbill]

41. lol good comparison

Yeah it was embarrassing. I like Lyoto, not his fault, but he didn't win that fight.

[d_b]

42. sherdog is broken

lol their server melted.

everyone knows what just happened. i feel SO bad for Rua, man. I hope the base fans dont let this one slide...

[Wetzelbill]

43. I know I can't get it to come up either

Yeah I really feel bad for him, I am still stunned.

[d_b]
