always nice to see fedor fight. i guess if there is anyone that stands a chance, its arlovski, who looked good on the cbs fight a few months back.

i hope yvel knocks the smugness off of josh barnetts face.

belfort/linland should be good if neither shows their age.

based on recent fights, im pretty sure babalu is gonna fuck sokoudjou up.

and i really hope nogueira is over whatever shit he was on when he fought frank mir. he deserves a win, just needs to take it.
