Man, just about everyone has CroCop going down. I like what I’ve seen of Dos Santos but I really want to believe CroCop still has it in him.

Belfort Vs Franklin - Just went on sherdog and saw the weigh-in pics…Belfort looks like he’s out of shape.
Fighting those C-grade fighters hasn’t been good for him apparantly… Franklin FTW
Crocop VS DosSantos- Dos Santos for the win
Trigg Vs Koschek - Koschek hasn’t been as good as he used to be when he first came in the UFC. He seems less mobile lately. That, and he’s suffering from advanced male pattern baldness from steroids when he’s only 30. Frank Trigg will KTFO of koschek.

C grade fighters like Lindland who a year back people were saying Dana White was scared to bring him back to the UFC because he would beat Anderson Silva?
And Koschek is out of site better than when he first came into the UFC, his footwork and striking has come on leaps and bounds. The difference is the calbre of people he is up against.

Yeah, because going bald is a flawless sign of a steroid user…
I’m so glad that I didn’t pay for this. I was really disappointed in Cro Cop. Franklin sucked balls too.

Dos Santos is legit. CroCop looked timid for some reason. Dos Santos would get close, and CroCop would kinda strike and them push him away. Guess he was trying to set up for a leg kick. CroCop did land some good shots in round 1 though. JDS is for real. Should move up the HW ranks pretty quickly.
Belfort still has it. Dana talked about Vitor-Silva for MW title, that would be awesome. Didn’t know about Belfort’s sister being kidnapped. Sad.
What did you guys think about Yves Lavigne stopping the Daley/Kampmann fight? Just right? Premature? Lavigne has made some questionable calls the past few cards.
I’d rather see Vitor get a few fights at MW than go right in against Anderson.

Seriously, Crocop always had an “elusive-counter striking” style, but ever since he started in the ufc, he seems incredibly gun-shy and pretty much just defending himself. Maybe he’s been eating too much soy or something… I like Dos Santos, he’s there to fight, showed some nice muay thai and quite young.
Vitor-Silva is going to be a GREAT fight, we’ll get to see a full-powered Anderson again because otherwise he might get his ass kicked. It would be interesting to see if he would change his approach in this fight and maybe grapple a bit more.
And yes, unless Yves Lavigne saw that Kampmann’s eyes were orbiting in opposite directions, I think it was a premature stoppage, maybe he drinks a lot of soy shakes too.
Lastly, the ufc “fans” that go to all the events are the worst ever! What is up with all the fucking booing?!! In reality, they go to witness a car-crash, the ironic part is that probably ONLY .02% of those motherfuckers would EVER engaged or challenged themselves in a fight!! So fucking annoying!
