Can't wait for the Rogers Overeem fight ! There's gon be some black on black crime !!
Overeem has lost some weight, wonder y that happenned?
Defenatly, Overreem lost 10 pounds. Suspicious!!!! He looks lot lighter than in K1
why is anderson silva there?
Silva is about to renew his contract with UFC. But there were rumors going around that he was spending time talking with Strikeforce president , I guess it was true.
To support Jacare Souza
Silva is there to support Cavalcante not Jacare, Cavalcante is also from team Black House
He is in the corner of Calvacante...
SF who cares?
ONE OF THESE 2 MEN WILL FIGHT FEDOR!!! well thats if Fedor doesnt lose his next fight by a lucky punch.
Rogers soo could be in better shape looking all doughy like the Pillsbury dough boy
Wouldn't want ta get hit By either of those Biscuts, doesn't look so Poppin' Fresh to Me...
As close the fight comes I think Overeem has a better chance, but we will see...
Antonio Silva is one mean looking muva fuka
Arlovski does not look impressed
Lol, yea Arlovski has seen enough stare-downs in his career.
I would not be surprised if Arlovski get TKOed.
so you don't like the guy or you just kidding....
I think she Means he has a Chin made out of Porcelain and that beard doesn't do anything to cushion the Impact...
Rogers gets in a better shape and very intense staredown ,metality he has more chance to win than Overeem .tho
Anderson gona do a runner scared from Shogun this days every one is scared from Shogun after wath Shogun didd to Anderson's boyfriend the Dragon.SF good card lots of good fights im loking foward for this
Roger Gracie best BJJ in the world can this guy be the new Gracie to take over MMA
Arlovski has been tagged by the best ; Fedor, Rogers,etc. Any mortal would get bellied-up with that combo. Hell, Rogers has some mean dukes too, with that being said Arlovski has put down some heavies in his time also so give him his props. I haven't seen too much of Alistair, but I really don't need to cause Bret has some medicine for him.
NICE CARDS, GOING TO BE EXCITING WAR.
