    Dudes a stud, and has a ton of interest from MMA fans, what the hell is he doing on the prelim card for 134?

    Didn't the last 3 guys he submitted end up needing surgery? I remember reading something about him getting suspended by one of the commissions.

    Cause he's a giant **** and a ****ing asswipe.

    Leg lock specialist doesn't know you shouldn't ****ing YANK on a heel hook? Yeah, he can go **** himself.

    Yeah think he held the Polish fellas ankle for bit too long think that guys ankle was properly ****ed up. Might have more to do with Tree stump being a ****** in the Nate fight.

    Saying that I would prefer to see him vs Miller rather than Cane fight

    I don't think it was held a bit too long, I think it was cranked beyond the point where ligaments tear from bone. And he's done that several times.

    palhares is a major threat to the middleweight kinda sucks that he is still on the prelims he deserves to be on the main card.

    because he is an unsportsmanlike **** who doesnt give guys a chance to tap before cranking submissions and seriously injuring them.

    he should be cut imo.

    A good Prelim fight can wind up being seen on Facebook, Spike TV and the PPV broadcast itself. Next to the main event it really is the best spot. The onus is on the fighters to put on a good show. If they're boring - they'll be seen once and done.

    He should get Sonnen if they both get through these fights. He beats him, imo.

    I love his technique. He brings that brutality and savageness to BJJ. He needs to ****in Yank on Bisping's arm...
