Mo, appreciate your comments. You would not catch me chanting 209 either. However, the fans at that fight and many in Stockton are starving for someone or something to cheer for that they can identify with and Nick is it right now. I never give up hope that someday Fat City will produce a bad ass world champion. The regular vato loading trucks, banging nails or stocking shelves needs in every small oppressed city like Stockton needs a local hero.

I agree with #15. Diaz starts out too slow, a crisp striker like Noons will win a decision against him.

Diaz is going to get lit up again in a rematch with Noons.

Diaz is still very hittable and as of late, he looks like he’s moving underwater

[...] Gina Carano.It was a fairly decent show, actually. Adam Morgan from FiveOucnesofPain.com has a good writeup on the nitty/gritty from the show, which included some enjoyable bouts. Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith played out pretty much how I [...]

Cyborg is quicker than Carano, and it looks to me like Cyborg hits as hard and maybe even harder. Carano will have her hands full. It’s been said in other posts on this site already, but you have to wonder about ‘roids when you see Cyborg’s muscle mass and hear her voice. When she speaks her voice reminds me of those East German women swimmers from the ’70’s who were juiced to their eyeballs.

I agree….Gina is ready for Cyborg. Cyborg completely dominated Baszler in stand up, but Baszler only THREW 10 punches…and she landed one. No doubt Cyborg is a beast, but Gina will LAND more than 10 punches. I think that fight would be a sick stand up war. Hope it happens, although I’d be happy to see Gina fight Kobald. Kelly is no cupcake.

I think Gina is ready for Cyborg. After seeing some of Kaitlin Young’s fights I thought Gina would have a lot of trouble with her, and Gina whupped that ass.

You gotta remember, not only is Gina a very good standup fighter, but she is big as hell. She walks around at 170 to 180 and cuts during training camp to ‘try’ and make 140. Just that size difference can be all Gina would need to win. Either way, Carano and Santos will be a great fight.

Gina’s not ready for Cyborg. EXC needs to stick with the plan and have her fight Kelly Kobald in October. They’ll pull in big ratings regardless of whom she fights. After she wins, give her Cyborg — and pray that her gorgeous face doesn’t get destroyed.

I enjoyed all the fights, except the Diaz fight, which I fast-forwarded through simply because I cannot stand either Diaz brother. Cris Santos was very exciting to watch. The false finish was quite a scene; I’m kind of surprised I’ve never seen that happen before. Jake Shields was even more impressive than I’ve seen him before. He has no competition, though, unless he can get fights with guys like Gesias Calvancante (if they can meet at equal weight) or Eddie Alvarez. Otherwise, he should probably be in the UFC. I kind of hate to say that, since there needs to be good talent outside of the UFC if there’s going to be competition, but looking at the here and now, that’s where he’ll really be able to have good fights and make money.

bumpster, sorry, but you had to think the “209″ chants were kind of funny. I didn’t mean anything personal against your town/city, but chanting the area code of where i live isn’t really my thing. I would have to think if i took a poll of the “vatos” in the area half would agree. Hell, i would even walk the mean streets of Stockton and ask, but it is a bit out of my way. I am from the “215″, and I will not be able to make it down.

Seriously though bumpster, i didn’t mean to throw a cheap shot at your hometown, but you have to admit that chanting the area code of where you live is not the way to go
