I'm a firm believer that Amir's loss to hendricks was an early stop or as Im starting to call them a lavigne. Amir looked AWESOME against the NY badass and even took some of Phil's best bombs and kept movin right at him. Blackburn has been nothin short of impressive....Amir by outlasting Bad Brad and gettin a TKO in round 3 Matt Hammil has fought one pro fight out of the ufc

That fight with Baroni. Boroni isn't a push over for alot of top fighters. I was worried for Amir in the begging but Boroni gassed out. Amir weathered the storm and prevailed to show some real UFC heart. I am rooting for Amir all the way. He is like a mini Forrest but more serious and intent. Really good for the sport.

This fight will be so much tougher than Amir's will Phil Baroni, and although I am a huge fan of Amir, I think Brad is just a little better.

Holla for Sadollah! not too surprised he's getting back in so soon, Baroni didnt do much damage outside of the first round...as usual... Baroni could do good if he worked on his cardio instead of his biceps w00t! Holla for Sadollah!

He has been going stir crazy while rehabbing. I honestly think he will come back stronger than his last ring appearance. Imagine him being able to throw both hands with ill effects. Huge difference in how he can train and work his striking. Not to mention the time he spent working core and lower body strength while the shoulder healed. I am expecting Blackburn to come with a flurry of pain! War Bad Brad Blackburn. Also remember Brad has been out after shoulder surgery. He has been going stir crazy while rehabbing.

Sadollah got away with a stand up war because Baroni was gassed after the first round. I don't expect that to happen with Blackburn, though, and it would be a mistake for Sadollah to forget about submissions in that fight. Those are an advantage for him, and it would play to Blackburn's strength to stand and trade. If Sadollah's still at Xtreme Couture, I expect he'll have a game plan that emphasizes his strengths and attacks Blackburn's weakenesses.

It's great to take lot's of fights, but it sucks when you take too many and get dropped by guys like Paulo Thiago. That said, Amir had a looooong layoff before he really got to debut, so i'd imagine he doesn't want to wait 6 months for a fight. I hate when guys put on a great performance and then sit half a year waiting for their next fight. :x

I like that. Something tells me this is going to be an all-out war though. Seeing as both guys are young and have something to prove. It's maybe not the best fight 'on paper' nor the biggest names in the sport...but I have a feeling both guys are going to come in hungry, fight their hearts out and leave it all in the ring. Should be a good one.
