Well George Roop just made the list of people you want with you during the zombie apoclypse.

Strikeforce has Diaz vs Noons II this weekend. Should be fun.

The WEC card was fantastic. Jose Aldo is pretty amazing.

Watched UFC Primetime. Brock with a beard is even scarier

UFC 120 was not that much fin except for the Dan Hardy KO!

UFC 121 should be quite good though, Brock and Cain should be a war!!

Should be fun to watch on Saturday. The undercard isn't terribly appealing, but everybody usually gives extra effort during the events that Lesnar is on, since more people are watching those PPVs.

Outside of a well-placed shot, I don't see Cain posing much of a threat to Lesnar. He'll be more accurate, but won't hit with the force Carwin did, and with weight he's put on for this fight, Cain might be the fighter with stamina issues. I know he's got a fine wrestling background, but I doubt he's on Lesnar's level in that area. Even if he can stop a couple of early takedown attempts, Lesnar is gonna push him up against the cage and wear him down. I'm going with a late 2nd round ground & pound win for Brock here.

This weeks TUF ep was pretty great. My wife was dying when Koscheck's dudes lost. She loves GSP!

Watching the Countdown special and heard Tito's comment " he has a soft head because he is deaf" I have no idea what that means

Wow. Great performance by Velasquez. I figured Brock would be able to ride him for 2 or 3 rounds before finishing, but Cain looked very strong. That knee he landed stunned Lesnar and he couldn't recover.

Yea, it was a pretty good card, almost every fight delivered. Brock took a bunch of big shots but Cain was just too tough.

Brock got rocked. Couldn't even get past round 1. That gash on his face was huge.

Was not impressed with Jake Shields. GSP will have no issues with him since he will face him next.

The Nam Phan Lenard Garcia decision was on of the worst of all time. But Rogans rant in the next fight was worth it

Yea, the Nam Garcia fight was a great fight but it was pretty one sided. Not sure what the judges saw in that fight.

Rest of the card was pretty good, glad to see Brookins win.

The Strikeforce card was pretty nuts though, 3 huge KOs in the first rd in a row. The Daley KO was just vicious.

Scott Smith's "flair Flop" was insane. I jumped out of my seat. Paul Dailey is a scary man
