Oh yeah, this card is a big one. I'll be watching, I know that.

-- Rashad with another flash knockout in the third round.
-- Minotauro taps Mir in the second round.
-- Rampage gets a split decision against Wanderlei.

Masenzio

Okami
Hardonk
Hamil
Chonan
Evensen.

What a loaded fight card. Can't wait for this. Unfortunately I will need to check it out afterwards as I am spending XMas with my girlfriends family in Denmark and her Dad is strongly against boxing, let alone MMA...

My picks for the big three:
Rashad over Forrest by decision.
Nog subs Mir in the 5th.
Silva knocks out Griffin again.

If Griffin had his head together I see him winning it, but he just has too many personal issues to deal with to be 100% imo.

We are coming closer my peeps. I can't wait until Sat :D

Didnt dissapoint. There were some brutal KO's tonight. RAMPAGE got his revenge and Mir was amazing tonight.

Mir was amazing tonight.
I believe this is the 3rd or fourth knockdown of Nog:

I'm so disappointed that Wand lost like that. It was a tough fight to see because I like both fighters, but I want to see Wand with the belt, so I was rooting for him. Rampage looked good and I think he will make another run for the belt. Unfortunate for Silva, it looks like that generation of fighter (Pride and UFC) is on its way out.
Mir really looked sharp while Nog looked like all the wars he's been in is starting to take its toll. I am looking forward to the re-match between Mir and Lesnar.

Wand may be done at the Light Heavyweight level. Like to see him move down a notch.

I'm really starting to come to this POV as well, especially WRT the Pride guys. All those tournaments (read: fighting more than once in a night) and shorter times between fights is adding up.

(To say nothing of the fact that MMA in Japan is unregulated and has no drug testing.)
