i reckon this season has been much better then previous all the pranks, I laughed how Mir goes he's much more athletic then nog after the challenge. What are your thoughts on the Sir Hugs-a-lot vs Roop match, third round? I can see how the Judges scored it two rounds to none, Roop's takedon swayed it, but it should have gone three.
Oh I forgot to add, Never... ever fuck with man's marshmallows either.

The Greatest Fight Card Ever? Doubt it, I watched Rua vs Coleman and Franklin vs Henderson (Didn't order it). My God, Coleman vs Rua boring as bat shit, that's consecutive times Shogun has looked shit in fights. Franklin vs Henderson was a pretty solid fight, Henderson kept Franklin away with his left and Franklin couldn't effectively strike. Anybody elses thoughts
So, no word of Main Event showing the Fedor vs Arlovski fight, so I'm gonna have to find myself a stream to watch it.

^Yep, That might co-main event with Silva vs Leites at UFC 97,
As for the Ultimate Fighter Finale the match ups are set:
Bader vs Vinny - This one is tough because it's so much like Krystoff vs Vinny although the difference is Bader's amateur wrestling background will be nullified and Krystoff's stand-up is markedly better. It will either end in Knockout to Bader or Submission to Vinny. I'll go Submission by Vinny late in first round
Nover vs Escudero - All the performances in the show suggest that Nover is the stronger fighter, however anything can happen. I'll go TKO Stoppage to Nover in the second round

UFC is shit mate, and its not the spot of mixed martial arts, its an organisation that treats their fighters like shit and buy out other better organisations. they even get cunts like brock lesnar to shame our sport of mma.
either way, mma is just the fucking best.

^Mir vs Lesnar II to unify the belts is co- headlining UFC 98 on May 23rd with Serra vs Hughes
This treating fighters like shit thing that you bring up. Could it be that the fighters aren't getting paid enough? Cause the only people who seem to bitch about their pay are the guys who are getting paid the most Because outside of base pay, Dana has said publicly and proved with Randy that he does treat his fighters well - IF they perform well. I forget who it was that was interviewed, but they said that Dana treats his fighters very well and stated things such as if he wasn't on a card and wanted to go see it, then the UFC would fly him and a guest out, put them up in a hotel and give them front row tickets. He even said that the tickets alone were worth $1,000 which was awesome for him.
The bottom line is the fighters KNOW what they are getting into when THEY SIGN their contract. The fighters have agents who explain all the terms and conditions of the contract to them. That's what agents do.
Dana White love him or hate him has done a tremendous job with building the sport. He still is the best guy for the job as he truly cares about it more than anything else.
Oh, but I do agree with your last point.
UFC is the number one MMA company and yes I also have to agree that Pride was better then UFC in terms of talent, but UFC buying Pride just provided us with superfights which ultimately has evolved the sport. Brock Lesnar shaming the sport really? In what way is he shaming the sport, you mean he's come in and all bar the rookie mistake made in the Mir fight, he's looked awesome. He's actually bringing in the wrestling fan base into UFC and he has the credentials (Two Time NCAA All American), He handled Couture (past his prime or not) and absolutely dominated Heath Herring. Mir vs Lesnar II will be great.

Total domination by Bader and a good fight between Efrain and Phillipe, Efrain was great and deserved the win
Junie has improved immensly he's no longer sloppy and really dominated Kaplan the little shit may have a future if Dana wants to put up with his shit

UFC 94 has come and gone and all I have to say is woah at GSP, He looks invincible at 170, he'll deal with Alves pretty easily I'd imagine. I'll call it, We'll have GSP vs Silva by years end. Now that will be an awesome match.
Nice knockout by Machida on Thiago Silva, Machida vs Evans should be the next Light Heavyweight title fight.

Round 3 or 4? I think it was at the end of Round 4.
It was a thorough demolition which had GSP showing off both his ground skills as well as his stand-up (Round 2).
It's a shame MMA isn't as big here in Australia as in other places. Where boxing is big MMA tends to get similar interest.
