I need to frequent this website a lot more often, information like this is difficult to come by.

Oh yeah! That may have actually been worse than Pele’s injury. I tried to block it out of my mind but you’re right – very Theismann-esque (maybe even worse).

By the way Ariel did you by chance catch the Eduardo injury for Arsenal two weeks ago? A late slide tackle which provided a broken leg that was Theisman esque?

Since there seems to be a conscience effort to book fights that possess intriguing story lines (Lesnar-Coleman for example) I would think the logical choice would be Mir vs. Sylvia.

The UFC needs to capitalize on Mir’s sudden career revival and no fight would help keep his star shining bright than a rematch against Sylvia.

If not, perhaps Mir-Herring? That would definitely be intriguing and would make sense from a booking standpoint.

Kris – I looked everywhere for confirmation on the four-fight deal rumor but I found nothing. I would be shocked if that was the case but stranger things have happened.

Matt – Great points all around, as always. I didn’t really touch on Herring in the muesli but I am happy for him too. He made a major mistake during that Big Nog fight and it’s great to see him back on the winning side of things.

Coleman/Lesnar booking was suprising when I heard it but its an awesome choice on Joe Silva and Dana Whites part. I think it gives Lesnar a higher chance of victory than the Mir fight.

The Middleweight division will soon be cleaned out once Silva faces Okami to avenge the earlier DQ Loss on his record. I think his only option is to move up in weight and fight there. Really outside of Okami who else really deserves a shot?

Shame Fitch didnt put on a stronger showing and ended up pulling a Karo. Also a shame Karo ducked Fitch and didnt fight him.

Hazelett/ Koscheck was the Fight of the Night in my opinion. Hazelett just got caught and lost. He will groom to be a great fighter. He showed great impovement in his striking and his ground game is real good too. Both fighters made a great showing of themselves.

Glad to see Herring eek out a victory and keep himself relevant in the HW Division. A potential match up with Arlovski should be a good test and a HW Title fight eliminator. Imagine if Kongo would’ve won he would probably be the #1 Contender. Big Nog would’ve walked through him as well.

UFC is starting to pick up more steam.

I believe I read somewhere (Sherdog?) that Coleman signed a 4-fight contract with the UFC.

Sure, there is a chance Coleman wins but I guess the thinking is if he does win they can say “Well, he was a former champ and does have 20 more fights under his belt than Lesnar.”

However, unlike Mir, he isn’t a BJJ specialist. He is a former wrestler turned MMA fighter. You would have to think Lesnar’s wrestling skills are much better than his so I really don’t think he has a shot given how strong Brock is. A couple of more seconds and Lesnar beats Mir who is better fighter than the 2008 version of Mark Coleman. Plus, he really aged a lot lately, eh?

But, again, I love the booking. Very pro wrestling-esque and very smart. Coleman is coming to Lesnar’s hometown too so there are plenty of juicy storylines to explore.

The only reason Arlovski wasn’t shown last night is because this is the last fight on his current contract and they don’t want to push a guy who may be on his way out especially when he beat one of their young “stars.” Makes sense.

Right now they have nothing invested in Arlovski so no point in featuring him. If he does resign you can bet he will be back in the title picture.

now what happens if coleman actually wins?

how awkward will that be?

he hasnt fought in 2 years, so whatever nagging injuries he has had have probably subsided. he maybe rusty but his experience will make up for that.

i mean shoot, he has a chance.

im droppin some money on him now lol.

did arvloski bang Danas mom?

why is he seemingly black balled?
