I only buy it if i'm watching live, I can never keep my eyes off the results if I don't, so it's pointless, hopefully tonight I get so drunk i forget there's a fight so tomorrow it's like oooOOoooOO there was a UFC last night!!! *runs to computer*

I'm about to watch this one. I'm hoping Lesnar wins, but from what I have heard his chances aren't that good.

Where in the card is Lesnar's fight

Gonna miss ya here, bro.

I got your back as far as the "incessant posting" goes

I'm so psyched for Fitch-St. Pierre. Moreso than any other fight in a long time.

Then I want to see Kenny Kenflo defeat Huerta.

Then - I suppose I'm curious to see how Lesnar has improved as far as ju-jitsu defense goes.

Prediction? I like GSP.

Rooting interest? I want Fitch to win. I love the whole hard working midwestern guy story. Sure, GSP is brilliant - in all aspects of the game. And there's nothing not to like. Respectful and a joy to watch.

But - I want the over-achieving hard worker to win it.

As for predictions? I don't predict. The fights are decided at that space in time in the Octagon. I would like to see a 5 round war, though.

Yeah. I don't see Fitch beating him. But I didn't think anybody (other than Fedor) would beat Crocop. I'm looking forward to a great fight. I wanna see Lesnar do well, too. They should have groomed him though. You can't expect a pro wrestler to compete without much more training.

If anyone can beat GSP, its Fitch. GSP will not be able to physically dominate the takedown/balance aspects against Fitch, that he has done with other great wrestlers (like Hughes and Koscheck, who are smaller than him). Fitch is just as big all around and might actually be bigger.

Right. Anything can happen. Did anyone think Randy Coture would do the things he did?

He such a physical beast, though.

Can't wait.

This first fight looks good now too.
