How is Mir a better ahtlete? He's still the freakin' same as he was when he enetered this effing sport? Has he learned anything? No. He's still got good jitz, bad standup, bad wrestling. And terrible GnP defense, as we saw againt Brock. Randy had better.
Nog, however, started out as a jiu jutsu guy and then LEARNED the whole MMA game and has constantly been improving throughout his career. Look at his standup. Look at his wrestling now compared to then. Now that's a great athlete.
WTF is wrong with some people's definition of athlete? Does explosiveness = athlete for some guys? I can't understand this sh!t sometimies.

Good card, I been waiting for this one. This is how a ufc ppv should be. Bout time Evans gets a title shot. Gonna be a nice stand up bout with lots of leather being thrown. Noguera vs Mir..hmm. They may have too much respect for each others bjj game and not want to fight in the ground position, but if it does, we may see a bjj match like no other. Looken forward to that one. Jackson vs Silva, what more can ya say. Jackson is 0/2, both losses to a knockout. But who is the better fighter today? Will be a good knight, a good night indeed.
I even made a topic a while back about Rashad having all the tools to be champion. He really does have it all, and when he uses all of his tools, he's a great fighter. He'll show up against Forrest.
I so want Wanderlei to destroy Rampage for the third time. I like Rampage, but Wandy is the man, and I need me some Wanderlei knee-y goodness. Rampage may go back to chugging energy drinks and driving recklessly after Wanderlei kills him for the third time.
What a card this is! Cards like this should be made every 3 months or so, not every year.
I see Rampage Jackson picking up the win against Wanderlai. Or that might just be wishful thinking.
I'll have Big Nog to beat Frank Mir. I do like both fighters but I have a feeling Nogueira will take what Mir manages to dish out and hand out some punishment of his own. I'd love to see that fight go to the ground. Then that will set up a nice fight between Brock and Nogueira for the title.
And finally I have Forest to beat Rashad Evans. Forest has an iron chin and a great will to win so I see him defending his title.
Whatever happens I'm sure we are in for some great fights.
