Yeah her armbars are pretty nasty! The flying armbar win over Sara D'Alelio was nothing short of amazing! I cannot wait to see if she will develop as an overall fighter or if her one area of expertise is enough to keep her on top in a shallow women's division.

LOL. I sincerely hope he does not do that. I believe GSP still a lot of good fighting years left and I would love to see him take on some other challengers.

Rousey is a beast. She is very very good. Hopefully they can get Cyborg to move down to 135 and fight her. There is no one else close to challenging her.

Can't wait for the Diaz/ Hendo fight as well as watching Chael Sonnen get under Bones Jones skin for 16 weeks on TUF.
See to me the GSP/Silva fight isn't that big of a draw. We are going to see two guys dodge and feint around each other for 2 whole rounds before they really start doing anything. I see it as a fairly boring fight and then BANG its over.

Randy Couture said yesterday that he thinks Sonnen has what it takes to beat Jones. What is he smoking? And where can we buy a box? LOL
