Those karate/taekwondo geeks just never learn. MMA is not for them. They're probably just being thrown in the cage as a laughing stock for people to see that those lame karate/taekwondo shit is useless. Most likely Brian Schwartz will pull another Raymond Daniels.

They fought last time and it was both of their first MMA bout, it was horrible! Schwartz didn't know what he was doing and he even struggled to get out of a guillotine in Lemont Davis's half guard. Yes! A fricking half guard! These two will make a fool out of themselves again. Just watch. Why is Lemont Davis fighting Brian Schwartz again?

Yes, Thomson does get to hopefully win in a revenge fight against a past opponent, but if this is the best opponent that Strikeforce can lineup, it proves the organization is building up no other fighters. Bad for business and a promotion. Thomson, jump ship when you can. Irrelevant fight to the overall MMA rankings and I am not very interested in seeing the result.

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:57:49 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=8107#comment-54002 wow. you guys are acting like Yves doesn't stand a chance.. I don't know if you know this or not but Yves BEAT Thomson a few years ago. this is a great matchup. i've been wanting this for a loooong time. and just because Yves had a one in a million moment, losing to KJ, doesn't mean he's done for.. good lord. Yves is a top tier LW and i think giving HIM a match with Thomson [even after a loss], a rematch at that, is wayyyy better then Thomson Knocking out another no-name int he 1st round.. wow.
