    seemed like Johnson ran out of gas about 3/4ths of the way through the first. He went for that last shot, and didn't have the energy to get back to his feet.

    Yeah suppose so, the third like others are saying was way to fast. The other two I was just starting to think if the ref should say something did he even give a warning??? usually they do.

    I could give a **** how quick the standups are.

    As far as im concerned, he's nothing but a cheating *******.

    ****, I think the massive weight cutting is worse than roids.

    I'm starting to think Mendes might be able to do this, Aldo has been very slack lately compared to himself a year or so back.

    I expect Aldo's takedown defense numbers to take a drop tonight.

    I've still got Aldo picked for the win, but I think he may be in for a hard couple of rounds.

    The Belfort win was the equivalent of last year's win by Nogueira.

    Nah, I think its because of the weight, that's why I'm saying DW prolly told Dan to have little patience tonight. You are unprofessional well then you are going to get ****ed bad.

    I think Aldo will impress tonight. After the way Jose handled Faber I don't see what Mendes can do to him.

    If Aldo gasses after a couple rounds tonight, then it is time to move up to lightweight.

    And I would say Belfort is more popular than any other brazilian fighter but Anderson Silva......here.....

    Not really. Last year, Nogueira was wrongly the underdog facing an overrated opponent. Belfort was the favorite coming in to tonight's fight, and delivered.

    Anthony gassed, showed up overweight, got his ass choked out.

    Big Dan didn't want a lay n pray sesh, neither did I.

    Little patience for what? Fighting? I'd agree if nothing happened on the ground, but Johnson ****ing shut Belfort's eye and had his face bruised up. Johnson hate aside, that **** was bush league and suspicious as ****.
