Also 2 guys that just lost clear decisions are still in the playoffs. It just doesn't seem like the better fighters are still even in it. Everybody loves tournaments. Making it double elimination will help ensure their big names still have a chance if they lose one and if someone ends up 0-2 then they don't get an invite back for the next season.

Anal****

Haha.  I am pure Irish.  If you think I am a closet racist because I said Gegard ****** himself by not taking his diet and nutrition serious, well... You are a ******** **** of a human and I hope someone you love dies, *****.

Aside from all of your ******y, I think Johnny Eblen absolutely dominated that fight pillar to post and is the rightful champion.  Two men entered the cage and one of them clearly wanted it more than the other.  All the credit to Eblen and a bag of AIDS for you and your family, **** boy.
