Poor Arlovski man.... Following right in Tim Sylvia's footsteps.


The positive aspect of Overeems win is most definitely the fact that Fedor really can't ignore Overeem any more.
 
at least for now, the overeem fight is on youtube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHNOQHapWXQ

That's for sure (on both accounts)

Sucks about Mayorga/Thomas....
totally!
 
I'm glad overeem won. hopefully fedor will beat werdum (he should), and they can set this up.

btw, i recorded UFC ultimate fights that aired during the SF show, just saw Leonard Garcia and Korean Zombie for the first time.

that fight was friggin awesome. a lot of people said Jung got robbed, but it was a close fight. it really could've gone either way. the thing that Garcia did that may have won him the fight was in the 3rd rd, he changed up his stradegy. he limited his toe 2 toe brawling to a minimum and danced around, used the ring, picking and scoring his shots. definately a candidate for FOTY. so far it's got my vote, someone else is gonna have to put on a heluva show to beat this one though. but man, Korean Zombie is a friggin animal
 
Garcia / Zombie was awesome ! Anyone notice that Dana was wearing a Korean zombie shirt at the 113 weigh ins ?

Strikforce and Bellator open to co-promotion of Gilbert Melendez vs. Eddie Alvarez.


This is a pretty big deal. If the UFC's competitors are going to be open to co-promotions, it could either force the UFC's hand to do some of the same, or at least, will likely greatly increase the popularity of the second tier promotions like Strikeforce and Bellator.
Good move if they actually do it.
