Looks like a v.good main card and starting to recognise some names there (my knowledge of the lighter weights is lacking it has to be said).

I randomly like Assuncao, so I am pretty excited for that fight.

Should be a good fight, but you have to take Faber in that one.

I'll take;

Varner (want Varner to win because I want to see Cerrone get his long awaited rematch, and take Varner's belt)
Faber
M Brown
Jansen
Semerzier

Valencia
Hominak
Wheeler
Wineland
Fabiano

Varner FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! On the side though, he is taking the fight with a torn MCL, hopefully he can handle his still.

I have this feeling that Assuncao is going to beat Faber.

Definitely possible. One split decision loss, Assuncao aint no joke.

He should be undefeated. He won that fight against Curran.

Aint no one said it was a excuse, this hasnt even been made public, he was rolling right next to me and we all heard his knee pop, and he was in alot of pain. He got a MRI and is going to still fight even with a torn ligament, that dont sound like a punk to me.

I think Henderson will beat Varner, and I hope so as well. Sucks to hear that Varner won't be 100%, but even if it's not being used as an excuse right now, I would bet my house on it being used as an excuse if he loses. Not that it wouldn't be a valid excuse, but if a fighter steps in the ring/cage, I don't really want to hear excuses afterward....unless of course its a CRACKED SKULL, that ****'s serious.

I'm hoping for Assuncao to beat Faber, although I wouldn't be against seeing a Faber vs. Aldo fight. I just don't really like that cheesy little bastard and his ass chin.

Interesting that Fabiano has moved down to BW, if that's not a mistake.

Don't have much to say about the other fights, but I'm sure some of them will be very good.

This is definetly going to be a tough one for Jaime, Bendo helped Jaime train for the Marcus Hicks fight so they are both familiar with eachother. Bendo has improved soooo much since then while Jaime has pretty much leveled off. I heard Bendo was down in Hilo with BJ instead of The Lab, that has got to be another Ben advantage. I see Jaime by submission off his back, Ben takes alot of chances in the open gaurd and that is something that can be exploited, Varner 4th rd sub!
I cant stand Faber either, but I want Aldo to sit him down so I hope butt chin can pull this one off.

Ooh, I wanted to see Hominick's kickboxing, but this works. Someone in the UFC used that same move not long ago, conceding a failed sweep in order to grab the triangle. Pretty.

High 5 · Post #18 » by **High 5** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 5:01 am

I thought Varner was going to lose gracefully the way he acted after he quickly tapped, but of course he had to whine and say something stupid. Glad he got choked out.

Nemesis21 · Post #19 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 5:17 am

Really good card.

Good win for Hominick, great submission.

I've never seen Deividas, that was a good fight. Deividas impressed me. Mackens will be back.

I didn't think it would take Brown long to get back on winning track. I knew the fight would be quick.

Shalorus needs to improve his boxing, he has crazy power. A lot of heart from Jansen.

Nice submission by Faber. Faber/Aldo will be insane !

Varner is still a bitch. Nice subm. from Ben. I really wanted to see Cerrone take Varners belt. Oh well, now he will just take Ben's .

Cammo101 · Post #20 » by **Cammo101** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 5:31 am

Faber and Brown looked plenty good and Ben Henderson, despite sleep walking through the first 2 rounds, pulled off a sick submission.

I feel like Varner's every move is just to annoy me. He is arrogant and classless, and not nearly as good as he thinks he is.

I think Varner and Cerrone should fight next, with Henderson getting someone like Shalarus or Njokuani. I want to see Varner vs. Cerrone a lot more than Henderson vs. Cerrone.
