Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I thought Kenny looked drained man.  Carwin looked good.  I missed the Rosa/Beltran weigh ins.. really wanted to see that one.  I picked Rosa.

I didn't get a chance to watch all the weigh-in...Hoping the fights don't get spoiled for me by friends of mine like the TUF finale...Gotta a game tonight and have to avoid all internet sites until after I catch the fights tomorrow!

@kalibo. carwin has already stated if he knocks jds to the canvas he will go for the finish. just his style of fighting. i don't think jds will get a ref that will give him "every" possible chance to continue. the ref will call off the fight if the same thing happens to jds that happened to lesnar. imho.

I came up short guys. Their wasn't anybody in my division so i had to fight in a higher division against a sixteen year old(who also had no one in his division) So against him it was going to be best 2 out of 3 . Loss the first one on points,Second by americana. Very dissapointed. But now i know what to work on.(My defense). My instructor won his first match via DQ(Guy went for a Knee bar). Second one he was doing well up on points but he went for a single-leg and the other guy spun around got his back and got a RNC. Then fought for third but it was tied and he was just about to pass his guard but time expired. He's going to do No-Gi later today.

Of course I left with my pride

@bisping .. Bisping is growing on me.. at first I didn't care for him, but he is growing on me.  I'm glad you like Tapology... it is a great site. Once you get used to it and understand how to use all the tools here, you'll like it even better!

Bisping cracks me up when he intelligently rags on people, but I'm not a big fan otherwise.

Never liked bisping myself but my dislike for him often changes depending on how much he speaks.  Hes a solid fighter and totally deserves respect there.
