I didn't know Strikefarce was going away. I had no idea how much it depended on "Rape Face" Rhonda to keep it afloat. King Mo's susupension should be expireing soon I thought they would try and give him a big push.

For the record the UFC took all the decent fighters away years ago and mostly they turned out to be not so good. For the last few years it has been the opposite : a dumping ground for the UFC washouts.

Direct TV has the movie channels free this weekend, other companies might also.

Good to be back on Fark for this one. I was in the house for Dos Santos vs. Velasquez. Crazy event, so many Brazilians and Mexicans competing to be the loudest.

Gonna miss Strikeforce though. Always thought they put on great, free events.

Tonight is a night of extremely lopsided fights. Almost every fight in fact, but it should still be fun. I do think Jacare vs. Herman is actually a pretty close matchup, though if Jacare wins by sub I won't be surprised.

By the way, Showtime is having a free trial weekend, and several cable and satellite providers are participating, so even if Showtime isn't on your plan, check it out. You may be able to see the prelims on Showtime Extreme and the main card on Showtime without streaming tonight.

Testiclaw		2013-01-12 07:01:14 PM

Weeee!

Testiclaw		2013-01-12 07:09:59 PM

...people are saying it's on in another hour?

Whaaa?

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 07:11:49 PM

I hear the first two prelims (probably starting about now) won't be televised. No doubt they will be used to fill time in case of a few quick matches.

So 6PM Mountain is when the show should air?

Roger, thanks!

Time to go stuff my speak hole with spaghetti. First carbs in 14 days.

Bring on the bloat.

Time Warner Cable is having a free preview of Showtime this weekend. Woohoo!

Klippoklondike		2013-01-12 07:23:02 PM

Todays during-fight meal will be Hot Pockets (ham and cheese) and Pepsi.

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 07:29:38 PM

Time to order some pizza. Too lazy to cook tonight (hey, but I did bake a batch of soft pretzels yesterday).

violentsalvation		2013-01-12 07:38:21 PM

I'm making tacos right now.

NorCalLos		2013-01-12 07:43:45 PM

Evening guys. Nice job with the sad tag, subs. Should be a fun night. Anyone know if Mauro is calling it? I saw him on Twitter saying something about family being most important and thanking everyone for the support. Won't be the same without him.

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 07:45:23 PM

I assume everybody knows Palhares and Beltran got popped for roids.

Klippoklondike		2013-01-12 07:47:36 PM

psychicdeath99: I assume everybody knows Palhares and Beltran got popped for roids.

Yeah, Paul Harris really bummed me out. I really want him to succeed but he keeps getting in his own way.

NorCalLos		2013-01-12 07:48:33 PM

psychicdeath99: I assume everybody knows Palhares and Beltran got popped for roids.

Beltran's statement afterward was funny. It was something that is probably not technically a lie, like: "All I can say is I did not inject myself with steroids." Ok, so it was administered orally? Someone else shot you up? It was HGH, not steroids?

Klippoklondike		2013-01-12 07:48:40 PM

Holy crap i started a card with two correct, perhaps this is a good omen.

Testiclaw		2013-01-12 07:50:46 PM

psychicdeath99: I assume everybody knows Palhares and Beltran got popped for roids.

Yeah. Never been a huge Beltran fan, don't dislike him either, just indifferent.

I really, really wanted Paul Harris to do well in the UFC because I like him and respect his history, but he just doesn't have the required fight IQ and will to make it in the octagon.

His world is ADCC. Sucks about the roids.

Interesting that they were popped for Deca: it's a pretty weak androgen and has terrible side effects. It's generally added to test-heavy cycles for it's pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. I think that some of these guys don't really plan/have access to good cycles, they just use whatever they can get their hands on.

The drugs they're choosing are ridiculous from a PED.

He was less surprising to me. Palhares looks chemically enhanced. Beltran never looked especially muscular.

Klippoklondike		2013-01-12 07:51:56 PM

Anyone else think Ryan Couture looks like a skinny Matt Hughes?

Perhaps it was part of a more comprehensive plan, but the others had already dissipated when they were tested?

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 07:53:22 PM

Darn it. I knew picking Gurgel was a long shot.

Klippoklondike		2013-01-12 07:54:39 PM

psychicdeath99: Darn it. I knew picking Gurgel was a long shot.

At this point I bet even his wife could beat him. He should have retired a couple years ago.

Yeah. I just had a feeling he'd step up this time, since he needs to find a promotion. Shouldn't have paid attention to that feeling.

You're usually near the top when it comes to predictions. And most of today's fights involve ridiculously huge favorites, so you're probably going to do well for the rest of the night.

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 07:57:44 PM

...although I would pay to see Jessica Eye choke him out like she did to Zoila...

Hope so. Or it could be the harbinger of a crap night.

Dammit Baltimore!

Testiclaw		2013-01-12 08:00:44 PM

Deca does have a loooooooong half-life, so it ends up remaining in the body for a while so it's definitely possible.

cookiefleck		2013-01-12 08:01:19 PM

im able to see this becausr of the free preview weekend uverse has going on...

psychicdeath99		2013-01-12 08:02:54 PM

Testiclaw		2013-01-12 08:10:48 PM

Gracie looked farking horrendous at the weigh-in.

At 6'4" he is tooooooooo drawn out to make weight.

I bet he gasses again.

PIneapple and Canadian Bacon is the only topping combination I will touch.

Dang, didn't even give him a verbal warning about the fence grab that directly affected the takedown.

Yeh... I have HBO and Showtime, but the main reason I got the package was SF, so I'll probably be canceling now.

Nope. Used to work their customer service, they always have a promotion or something going on. Unless you have beyond shiat for credit, you can have promotions up the wazoo.
