Yeah, who were those refs anyway!! I heard Big John was coming back...

Sad about Cote indeed, he was doing ok.

Koscheck, although I am not a fan, did alright. However, I don't think he went to his wrestling as much as he should have. But mad props for his recover-ability...

GSP is gonna have some fun with Alves, but I am still sure George will win! Uh, unless BJ poses a problem --> Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

I was actually very impressed with Alves' take down defense, it pretty much neutralized Kos's ground game.

And while I do anticipate a win for GSP if he were to fight Alves I think it would be an all out war. GSP would need to find a way to counter those low leg kicks and turn it into a shoot opportunity for himself in order to fully capitalize on that opening.

i agree with that. Kos was looking frustrated that he couldnt get him down when he wanted to

Have you guys checked out new UFC 91 Website?

http://91.ufc.com/

Looks like Couture's really beefed up for this fight. I read an interview where he's been training with 245lb+ guys at Xtreme Couture to try and get used to the weight difference. Glad to see he's taking it seriously.

WAR COUTURE!!!!!

Dustin, Do you know which Xtreme couture location he is training at? One of them is walking distance from the office I work at and it would be KICK AZZ to go see him train for this!!!!

Dustin,

The UFC91 website is clearly the work of cameras and perception. They put Randy in the foreground so he appears bigger and taller, putting Brock in the backround, somewhat covered up and looking shorter.

I agree, Randy will come into this fight bigger than normal and prepared, but I think we will see a more substantial size difference when they square up and go into a clinch.

Regardless, this is going to be a VERY entertaining and interesting fight for sure.

I can't wait for UFC 91. Wouldn't it be something if Lesnar beat Randy then Mir beats Nog, then we would see a rematch or Lesnar/Mir. I think Randy will have his hands full with Brock, but I wouldn't bet against him. Brock keeps improving with every fight. And he is so damn big he has to cut weight just to fight Heavyweight. I hate that rule. Sorry, but if you fight heavyweight there should be no weight limit.
