Ok, Aldo will completely obliterate Edgar.

Aldo knocking poor Frankie out.

That Dante is alright. All he wants to do is eat sundaes after casually dispatching some demons and he's a terrible gambler.
The UFC usually does a lot of hyperbole in their promo (we've had how many biggest fight in UFC history already in just the past couple years alone?), but this really is a superfight. I thought Frankie drew with Bendo in their second fight (but he did lose the first) and he's still a top 3 LW.

Frankie is going to decision win the FW belt.
I got a strong feeling Joesay Aldo's conditioning won't keep up and Frankie has enough experience and heart to survive the early onslaught.

But will he stay out? He seems to have recovery on a par with Diaz so far.

When being hit by Lay Fucking Praynard. Aldo is a totally diferent beast. Frankie will receive the worst beating of his life.

My man!
I agree with Chits here. Some of you cats need to stop pretending Edgar is Chad Mendes.

And stop pretending Aldo is still WEC Aldo.
It is a fairly different movie than I was expecting though.
I was expecting more focus on the idea that it would be this sort of courtroom/legal drama based on if Denzel's character is a hero based on his actions/circumstances which is sorta there, but it's more the side story and the film turns more into a movie about alcoholism/addiction.
Also 'Ready Player One' is awesome. I know a book has got me when I bring it to work to read it, really having a lot of fun reading this.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I see Edgar winning the fight
for the interim title against Chad Mendes due to Aldo being injured.
He might be but we'll never know because he isn't fighting Manny Gamburyan and Rolando Perez anymore.

Good to hear. I've been meaning to get to it but my book backlog is insane. Even more so than my gaming backlog.
I know i'll be reading a lot more this year since I got the eReader, but man, I am getting annoyed as hell with some of the drm stuff going on. I want to pay for books that I know I'll read, but I'm already getting confused with what I own and where it all is. Ah well.
That Sakuraba gif is something else. Who is the poor sap with a knee up his face?
Jose Aldo v. Frankie Edgar has the potential to be awesome. Like bone_and_sinew mentioned, this thing is going to be an actual superfight. And for Jose Aldo, probably his toughest opponent ever. Also is head and shoulders above the competition at FW but Edgar is ridiculously good at LW and will more than likely bring that level of competition to FW.
I wouldn't doubt Edgar or Aldo getting an immediate rematch either, unless one of them gets knocked out. It's hard to predict, too - I could see Edgar getting KO'd early on or Aldo getting TKO'd in the championship rounds. If it goes to decision it will probably be close, like his decision with Maynard and his fights with Smooth.

Two words friend: Kindle Paperwhite
Excellent device and keeps all your books in a cloud.
I got a Kobo Touch for Christmas. It's certainly a great little device and I love it, but the kobo store is god awful from what I see and I am definitely more a fan of Amazon. But ah well. The Kobo certainly made me realize what I've been missing with having an eReader finally.

I thought Frankie won both fights :0 If Bendo never hit that up kick than Frankie would have still been the champ and I say this on neutral ground. Frankie easily controlled both fights. Watched them both twice.
Ive considered getting a kindle for a while now. I realize how little i read just cause i cant make it out to a bookstore

The best part of that gif is Bendo's smirk on his face.
Thank you good sir.
I don't watch pro wrestling, but a gif such as this requires context! That shit looked like it hurt.
I think I was finally just getting tired of having stacks of books around, much like I don't care to have a stack of games around anymore. I love to read, and it's definitely made it a much more pleasant experience. Really glad I was gifted one, like I said, didn't know how much I wanted one until I did start reading with it.
Finally caught up with the thread and the latest UFC (without spoiling myself). Amazed that Dos Cantos hung in there the entire fight. Guess Cain's pillow fists was back, or Junior has a hell of a chin. Also looks like Dos Santos put on a ton of muscle, and might have lost some speed and stamina on account of it.
Other than that I ffw thru everything but the Miller vs Lauzon, which was great.

One of the best parts was Dana refusing to tell Bendo that he thought he lost.
So apparently Bellator is suing Eddie Alvarez. I'm not sure what for yet.

Maybe you can ask him why!
I think it was Uncle Dana who said during a media scrum that the Eddie Alvarez situation was about to get ugly.
I like what Bellator does for MMA, I really do, but their whole exclusive matching period shit is fucking awful and just as if not more anti-employee's rights than anything the UFC ever done. They always make it into an ugly protracted legal process that keeps the fighter in limbo until it's resolved, except with Lombfraud when the UFC simply overpaid and Bellator couldn't make it ugly.

I wouldn't go that far. It was a really close fight. Like I said earlier, I thought it was a draw but I'm secretly glad it wasn't scored that way because that would've meant ANOTHER rematch and 155 in limbo.

Oh no Eddie Alvarez making mma headlines? That means we'll be subject to seeing a million pictures of him sticking his tongue out over the next few days. I mean serioiusly .. does the guy not allowed himself to be photographed without sticking his tongue out?

I'd love see him fight Gray Diaz and not Lay-n-Praynard.

Edgar vs Alvarez would be fun. That would only happen if Edgar lost to Aldo and whether he intends on fighting at 155 after that.
Shinsuke Nakamura is awesome. I remember someone posting a highlight video of him in Wrassle GAF.
Dat charisma.
I didn't mean current-gen WWE now.

Dana doesn't want guys to be charismatic. He even said so himself, that he dislikes crazy entrances, that it should be serious. He let the luchador mask slide because "that means something to Mexicans" or something.
