Angula is a great fighter that always brings a great fight. He hits hard. It was nice to get a fight like that for free. Don't know how much longer I'll get fights like his for free though. ; ) Vitali just signed to fight Arreola at the Staples Center. I might have to roll out and watch that one. :)

Someone who has fought everyone and won 30 odd times...isn't scared. I don't think Fedor is scared to lose and the man's demeanor in the ring is extremely relaxed. There is nothing in him that has EVER shown fear before, during, or after a fight. He's a machine.

The entire card was a dissapointment. I'm happy for Devon Alexander but didn't like the way Witt quit.

The bradley fight was bogus. I feel robbed of 15 minutes of my time and a week of anticipation.

My new prediction for Campbell v. Bradley II. Bradley wins.

I hope Vick gets another chance to make a life for himself and use his talents. I would prefer he go to a team where he could flourish, in a system tailored to his skill set, but beggers can't be choosers.

I agree that one on one the starting 5 is better but the unless they play one on one it's a bit of a wash. I agree completely that Fish is a liability on D and doesn't contribute much on O (except in the last seconds of a game apparently) but his leadership is pretty important on that team too. On t...

Hopefully Drew progresses and gets better. I agree with a lot of the stuff that Tweak is saying but I'm not convinved in a "system" that Pierce and Garnett are greater than the combination of Artest/Odom/Gasol. Gasol is significantly improved over the year that he played against Garnett and there is...

I have no idea how he would do. He does sambo all the time and he has always been quite sneaky and powerful on the ground. I think a Randy C v. Fedor fight would be really good too though, EVEN IF he loses to Brock. If he beats Brock then all bets are off. It will probably DEFINITely be Coture, foll...

Saddens me. Gatti was my favorite fighter. I can't imagine that he would kill himself, not with the way he conducted himself in the ring. That guy NEVER gave up on anything!

That should be a great fight. I can't wait to see it. I never liked it when I was brought in to spar HW pros and guys acted like that. I would start cracking the body and doing a lot of rib shots.

Jew has nothing to do with it.......money does. I'm not sure why Fedor stays with Finklestein.....except for the millions he has made him while NOT signing for UFC. However, his options look a bit more limited now. I doubt Strikeforce has "Fedor" money. Lesnar made $400000 for his fight with Mir. Fe...

No, Odom isn't the enforcer, Artest is. Odom brings length off the bench and tough match ups. Artest brings a lot and IS tough. There are no other "tough" players on that team--they are a finesse team--but they did play rough with Denver and the Magic (which are really a more finesse team themselves...

They didn't HAVE to have Odom back but it means that there are more matchup nightmares for other teams. They are still long, still athletic, but now they are tougher, with a dude that will enforce for Kobe. This looks good for LA.

Kno's comment about not overdoing the cutting of corners is a great point. People don't have to "know" about all of your corner cutting and I think he's absolutely right when he says that you are actually selling an "image" of yourself. That said, there are plenty of broke looking personable, talent...

i'M NO tebow hater, but running QB's do not historically fare well in the NFL. THe guys hitting him will be bigger and stronger than him.

I would watch a Fedor v. Rogers fight. That's intriguing. Fedor to the UFC is MORE intriguing but its a safe bet that Strikeforce could do, Fabricio Werdum, Alistair Overeem, and Brett Rodgers. I also think they could pull in King Mo too and of course Monson. Those fights minus Werdum and Monson are...
