seriously if you are going to recap dream 16, at least watch it. or simply dont cover it. that was pretty bad.
Anonymous,
you got to understand that chris & the jdh are very busy with other things as well.
Rumor has it that UFC 123 might bump down Rampage Vs. Machida to the co-main event & bump up Hughes Vs. Penn 3 to the main event.
WEC 51 Update: Jason Reinhardt is out, because he failed his Eye Exam. Tie Quan Zhang will instead meet eliminated “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 12 cast member Pablo Garza at WEC 51 now.

N/A on Notables
Melvin Guillard Vs. Jeremy Stephens judges decision from press row.
Majority of the writers/journalists at press row scored the Guillard Vs. Stephens fight for Guillard. However, when those people watched it again at home, they all scored it for Stephens.
I been in few situations where watching it LIVE in the Arena, I scored it one way. But on TV, I scored it the other way.
I'm baaaaack! Man have I missed the TLOS world see The Cody has been touring the country due to the new NFL season he goes out every year to watch a few of Week 1 & 2 games and just returned from Miami watching the Jets squeak out a win (sorry JDH luck was a big factor). But now its time for some MMA. Yes I checked out the last UFC, and not much to talk about other than Cro Cop needs a change in weight and Bader is going to be the Maynard of the Light-Heavyweight division. Plus Evan Dunham got screwed and still deserves to fight the top Lightweight guys I say him taking on a Gomi or Clay Guida next would be a good fight.
The Cody is just going to quickly go through what he hasnt got to say about past MMA topics. Umm I told you Chael Sonnen was a fag, Nick Diaz will pummel KJ Noons, Couture vs Toney was the most retarded put together in MMA history should of kept Kimbo Slice for that, To describe the up coming Hughes vs Penn matchup in one word...homo, this past UFC Fight Night was one of the most boring in history, and The Cody has two upset alerts for up coming main events....Koscheck over GSP and Rampage over Machida yea you heard it.
Anyway The Cody is glad to be back in the TLOS comments and ready to reak havoc as he always does who knows i might invade the next live show and stir trouble there. Oh yea and for those of you talking crap to JDH n Chris Fries on here there is only one The Cody stop trying to be like me cause its making me sick. Man it is good to be back.
Cody,
Joe Silva HATES matching up A fighter coming off a Win Vs. A fighter coming off a Loss. Joe Silva likes to match up a Fighter coming off a Win Vs. Fighter Coming off a Win Or Fighter Coming off a Loss Vs. Fighter Coming off a Loss.
Evan Dunham is coming off a "loss" (even though I think he won), so Gomi won't be next for Dunham, because Gomi is coming off a win. Hate to this Evan Dunham's next fight will be against a fighter coming off a loss.
hey fellas, forgot to comment a few shows ago...you guys said Mayhem is an MTV VJ that "convinced people he can fight"...besides whether or not he can, which he most definitely can, it doesn't matter if he comes off as a douche or whatever you wanna call him...he GETS IT. he is hella entertaining and almost never a dull fight with him plus his entrances and antics are epic. he is way more popular in Japan because of his antics and I think jMMA > aMMA
The reason why the first time Josh Barnett tested positive for Steroids does not count, because NSAC was testing to see "If Roids should be legal or not" that was the only reason why they tested at UFC 34 back in 2001. Roids didn't become illegal in MMA under NSAC UNTIL the year 2002.
Please get this idea out of your head by taking steroids you get super human strength and turn green like Blanka from Street Fighter.
Wanderlei Silva did admit that he took Roids when he was fighting in Japan for PRIDE. in PRIDE Roids were NOT illegal, however pot & marijuana was illegal
Also there is nothing natural about Randy Couture either.
Randy Couture has the money to hire scientists to make an "alternative" supplements in the lab, so that it isn't technically Roids.
Nate Diaz said recently this week that "every fighter is taking something."
