yeah any highlight by robby park is good.
NK, did you see that Joe Stevenson is probably going to fight Uno in his next bout, which looks like the PPV in Texas? Lot of talent coming over from Japan lately, although I don't know if Uno and Mishima are still at the top of their game.
Yep, I was reading that.. There were also rumors of Gomi coming over because he wants to rematch BJ Penn..
yeah the Gomi thing is weird. Personally I don't believe it. Gomi for one is way better then any UFC Lightweight right now, mainly because they just restarted the division. I have read that Gomi definitely wants to fight in the UFC, but it seems like this would involve Pride loaning him to fight in it. And I don't see Dana White letting a fighter come in and fight for his belts and not have control of him.

If you are referring to the guy with the military style hair cut with the red and white spotted shorts, that is new UFC Heavyweight Mirko "CroCop? Filipovic. They just signed him to a contract from the Pride organization, which on top of the UFC you should check out. They are the ones you see with the ring for the most part. But start with the UFC and then work your way to Pride as well.
Odds were too good.. So I put some bucks on O'Brien and Lister... Considering Lister cut down from 215 to make 185.. that really isn't a smart bet for me.. but I have a feeling O'Brien might be able to score the upset tonight. Herring is going to have some rust and we will see how his knee is going to be.. Hopefully its a fun night (and prosperous!)...

CroCop is a beast.. Very exciting fighter.. Come next weekend you might possibly see him kick someone's head into the first couple rows. He started in K-1 (Kickboxing) and has evolved into one of the best fighters in MMA. He has ridiculous take down defense, which means you are forced to stand with him.. you don't want stand with him. He is the only person Mark Coleman (take down specialist) was never able to take down, then CroCop used his head as a soccer ball.
America will look at CroCop like Ivan Drago.. You will be impressed!
