    Hi, everyone. Been a long time lurker a while ago that recently came back to the site for info on the JMM/PBF postponement. I just wrote up an article with my thoughts on UFC 100 and thought I toss it up here and get everyone's opinions. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Hope you enjoy:

    lol you got money on GSP? If it helps, Alves is having trouble making weight

    I like the view from a gambler's perspective. Nice post.

    Just saw the weigh-ins. Man, Coleman looked old and done. lol @ Henderson's **** eating grin. Alves looked jacked as usual. Came in at 170 instead of the max allowed 171 too so the rumors of trouble cutting might have been false. Not feeling the way the audience boo'ed him. GSP looked pretty big himself. I'm not sure if Alves even has a size advantage over him. GSP's elbow still looked messed up. Mir looked freaking great. Came in 5lbs lower in weight than last fight ... which I thought was surprising since he looked bigger than before in training camp. He's definitely leaned out a bit. I wonder how his cardio will be.

    Why is the fight even going on if Rush is already ****ed and it isn't a level playing field?

    That looks like a major case of tennis elbow.

    I thought in championship fights there is no 1lb extra allowed for the weigh ins?

    This is pissing me off. If this fight is stopped after like one round because of that injury (especially if it's ruled a TKO for Alves or something stupid like that) I am done with UFC.

    They've postponed fights to later events for less, haven't they? :? This card will still sell - they've certainly hawked lesser slates than 100-minus-GSP/Alves and people still lapped it up.
