lol yeah Gregory, I definitely heard that monologue.  It made Shlemenko seem like a Russian cyborg serial killer.

Man there's no way that Vitor beats Shlemenko, if I were him I'd be scurred after seeing that!

But you have to give major props to Rogers he's tough as nails and he can take some crazy ass shots, plus he never went down.

shlemenko going to steamroll vianna and get another shot at lombard. the first fight went the full five rounds and alexander took every shot and never backed down. this time he will beat him. he is on a mission. the guy has 41 wins and is only 27 years old. he is just reaching his peak. when he wins this i really would like to see him in the UFC.
