Moving the venue from the American Airline Center in Dallas to Anaheim pissed me off. I'm still debating getting plane tickets to see this show.
Fedor actually fighting decent competition (I'm gonna go ahead and pick the underdog on this one and go with Sylvia), Barnett gets to avenge his loss to Rizzo, Rothwell & Arlovski is gonna be a slugfest, Babalu wins via strangulation. It's such a great card! Can't wait to see it!

Lol at Sylvia in that poster, he looks like... he's trying to be sexy or something, something weird. Has Arlovski been confirmed already?

At least he doesn't look as awkward as he did on Blind Date.

Agreed. There will be punching, most of it probably coming from Alexs though.

That's a warrior, willing to lay his life on the line. I've had Marines that have laid their lives on the line for the man next to him, and for their family and country. That's a warrior. The guy who goes into some athletic contest who has no war experience, in my eyes, really has no right to call himself that. That's a coveted thing to call someone, and that's what I call my Marines. Those are warriors." - Brian Stann

I agree too. Though I'm still extremely pumped to see older brother take on Sylvia.  |
