		<description>Rampage is a hot shitty mess.  He&#039;s losing a bit more of his mind after each fight his team loses.  I truly think that his &quot;retirement&quot; was him having a breakdown after just a crappy time from all things UFC the last couple of years. At least we can be glad that the only wreak he&#039;s inflicting on the public after this is his acting and not vehicular endangerment.

Season 10 Rampage makes Season 7 Rampage look the model of sanity and restraint.  A bag of dead rats would be a better coach then Rampage.  At least festering rodent corpses wouldn&#039;t leave the ring to throw an throughly unprofessional temper tantrum after fights.  

I&#039;m not really sure when Rampage decided that being a total bully was the way to motivate actually talented fighters who have given up a great deal to be on TUF.  Probably it was around the time he realized that no matter how great his talent in the ring, he would never have as much notoriety, money, or draw appeal as Kimbo.  Because fame is a fickle bitch... and she&#039;s sure made a bitch out of Rampage.

And I totally agree that Big Country passed up a huge opportunity to make a good name for himself.  Not that knocking out Kimbo did wonders for Seth Petruzelli&#039;s career, but Roy came off like a walking cheeseburger and trying to trade taunts with Rampage is the quickest way to let us know he really got under your skin.  

(P.S. This is also my favorite feature on this site along with Mike&#039;s blog.  Cheers!)</description>

		<description>1. My opinion of Rashad has changed the most, before I thought he was just a cocky guy but seeing the way he has coached his team and been a solid mentor and teach to these guys speaks volumes to his character.

2. Fiction. The only fight that will be even remotely hard to predict is miller vs. shield. Fedor is going to make short work of Rogers.

3. I think Junie has fought for the last time in any major organization because he just isn&#039;t a very good fighter or I should say not on a level where he would ever compete against the top guys.

4. I don&#039;t think Cerrone or Varner would go any higher but with the slick skills and heart that Henderson has I could see him being a dark horse contender.

5. Yes this fight should be on the main card Okami has been far to over looked and I think its a shame.when he beats sonnen they need to give him a shot at number 1 contender bout.

6. I say after Johnson wins this fight he should fight condit or parisyan, then when he wins there the loser of Fitch vs Alves then a title shot which unfortunatly for him he will lose to GSP just like anyone who has to fight him in the next 2 years.</description>

		<description>Good call Moose. I admit myself I have kind of been looking past Yoshida in regards to Johnson. That&#039;s pretty much the worst mistake he could do, since Yoshida has some real slick subs and takedowns.</description>

		<description>Really... best case scenerio...

Fitch/Almeida is off and as a result, Alves/Thiago is off because Fitch is now re-matching Alves at 107... awesome.

So Paulo Thiago is left without an opponent.  Should Johnson win on Saturday and get away virtually unscatched, match him up against Koscheck and Mike Pierce against Thiago.

Because really... Thiago had Koscheck, Fitch, and would have had Alves.  Talk about a murderer&#039;s row.  A Thiago/Pierce fight makes more sense than a Koscheck/Pierce fight.

Oh, by the way, TOTALLY called Fitch/Alves when I found out this morning about Almeida.</description>

		<description>It seems like Kos is a lot of talk. He talks about all these big fights against tough competition he wants to get, and then he goes and fights Paulo Thiago. Yah, yah, I know he lost that fight but he was dominating and it was a terrible mistake on his part. After that he signed for Chris WIlson...seriously? He got injured so it didn&#039;t happen, which led him to fight an over rated Frank Trigg. While he is much better than Chris Wilson, there was almost no way to win. Afterwards he calls out GSP, and then signs to fight Mike Pierce. If I were Kos, I would have said no to every single one of those fights, except maybe Trigg. He&#039;s too good of an athlete to be wasting his time beating the lower WW&#039;s. I just wish they weren&#039;t so iffy with their team mates because having Swick, Kos, and Fitch in the top 5 rankings but refusing to fight makes it almost impossible to find true contenders.</description>

		<description>Johnson/Kos would be a great fight.. 

Johnson is one of my favorite fighters at WW right now, but at the rate Koscheck is improving his overall game, I truly believe he&#039;ll be fighting for the title next year.. His wrestling is top notch, and with EVERY SINGLE FIGHT his hands get faster, heavier, or more accurate.. It&#039;s almost unbelievable how well and quickly he&#039;s improved his striking..</description>

		<description>AJ is bigger and stronger and faster than Kos, and when facing a good striker who he cant take down Kos has no chance.</description>

		<description>See Im of the opinion Kos would smash Johnson right now fan. I think hes just a little better at putting his whole game together.

Now if this fight happens 2 years down the road I think AJ takes it. He has the potential to be an absolute monster at ww. If he can keep making the weight cut.</description>

		<description>Great fight there, but no way Koscheck takes it. I think the ufc wouldnt sacrifice him to Johnson.</description>
