[Silverback]

It's funny to say this EVERY time...

but I wonder which Rampage and which Penn show up.

[clevelandkid]

Very good card - I think you're exactly right with the sotiropilous fight... Tyson Griffin is not slated to be televised - that guy needs a win. (as do 'page and penn)

The sad thing is, you're right. You just never know with those two.

The ones that lose, I think.

Hopefully, Machida picks right up where he left off...say about 2 fights before he got his eye socket smashed. If Rampage brings the fight to him, it should be a pretty good fight, ending in Rampage getting KO'd. If Rampage sits back, it may be a lonnnng 3 rounds for a restless crowd.

I see that fight ending with Machida grinding it out or Rampage KO'n Machida. But more likely it will be three rounds of Rampage chasing Machida as he runs like Brent from a DUI checkpoint.

I have to think rampage comes out fast, swinging for the fences, considering how bad he looked in the rashad fight.

I don't know what Machida has done in training but he needs to do something different. If he doesn't then Rampage with the win.

As far as Penn I dont know how someone that can go from on top of everything in a fight; to looking tired one minute into a fight. I like both of them, but I think Penn will far further down the ladder.

[SEB]

This will be a standup fight & those kind of fights are what I would descibe almost as a Dance. I believe Machida has the patience to take his time & pick his shots rather Rampage will just come in guns blazing & with Machida I think he will get caught & KO

[DON SVO]

Sotiropoulos chokes out Louzon.

[CJ]

Sotiropoulos chokes out Louzon.

Louzon is a crazy son of a bitch, I can't bet against him with any certainty.

I only really know of the fighters from the co-main events. I gotta give thos fights to machida and Hughes. BJ has just been fighting like a bitch lately. This last stretch seems to be hughes's last and he's making it a good one.

UFC 123 stream site

I don't plan on going out tonight.. hell, might even be doing over time at work.
Anyone want to post up a good site to stream from? I don't have anything bookmarked on my work computer, and i refuse to go to "the other site" to look for one.

Thanks!
