"Good to see that Dana's flying him out to LA for a second opinion. Means this might have some wheels behind it. I know a lot of people around here like to pretend that guys earn stuff in the UFC, and blah blah blah... It's just not true anymore. Pettis-Henderson 2 is the more marketable fight, and the fight more fans want to see. Pettis would have been the guy to get the shot anyway. Yea, it kinda sux for TJ but let him sit out for the winner or fight BJ Penn."

Didn't think Rashad looked that great either. Just not that great of a night for the UFC. A few crappy decisions, plus some pretty boring fights, coupled with a main event that was FX worthy.

Random thought: Since Jon Fitch's release from the UFC its the first time in multiple years that a top ten WW in MMA exists outside of the UFC (I'm about as big a fan of wrestling that there is, but no Askren shouldn't be considered top ten). Even if he loses Burkman's recent streak, plus a win over Fitch, would firmly place him in the top ten. Yes, random.

"Foster doesn't really have the final say (yet at least). Santiago has already said there is no legal basis for allowing anybody (including those already having exemptions) to get TUE's."

- David Saucier : "I here ya but dont you want to see martial arts, and techniques used to finish fights, not to nullify your opponent and get wins on points."
- dray12 : "Intersting breakdown bro, i definitly agree with how you think this fight is going to play out. Being a 3 rounder, I see this one going the distance unless BJ gasses badly of Nick cuts. For the most part BJ and Nick are willing to stand and trade with any of their opponents, but if I had to guess who would try to take this fight to the ground first I would say BJ. I could see Nick putting Bj against the cage though early on. I think it would be stupid of BJ not to exploit Nicks biggest weakness (and his own biggest strength his top game in the process), but I have a really hard time predicting what each fighters strategy will be. I personally give Nick the edge on the feet. He has more success against higher level strikers compared to BJ. And Even though he gets tagged alot, he does an excellent of protecting his chin, and usually ends up taking shots to the eyebrow/forehead/and worst case temple area. But the biggest thing with the standup is that the pace Nick puts on can have you gassing by the end of round 1, and it seems like the type of thing thats hard to prepare for but impossible to avoid once you get in the ring, it's sneaky lol your back peddleing for 5 minutes and it must feel like 50.. On the ground I give the overall edge to BJ, but on that note the thing I love about this fight besdies the overall stylistc clash is that there isn't really a strength discrepancy between the two and I personally wan't to see this fight hit the ground so we can see a masterpiece down there. But man I'm looking forward to this fight more than any other schedualed fight out there right now that I can think of (JDS/Cain aswell). These are 2 of my all time favorite fighters and 2 of the most skilled guys in the sport. Can't wait man "
