Glad Riggs is getting another shot. I think he can get it done.

No matter how many times I see how young Riggs is, it still blows my mind.

So now it looks like the prize for Fightmaster was a UFC contract. I guess Fightmaster was more like TUF than we thought.

Good for Riggs, but these days getting signed to the UFC doesn't necessarily mean what it used to. They have a lot of card space to fill up. Best case scenario he can get a couple wins and build some buzz like Brian Ebersole did in a similar situation. But it won't be easy...

Riggs got an easy fight. Thiago has lost 4 of 5 and has gassed in last two bouts badly. i predict KO by riggs in second round.

Yeah Thiago is on a big skid... Really he wasn't much more than a flash in the pan fighter. After his first 4 UFC fights (going 3-1) and his huge debut upset over Koscheck, he dropped to 2-6 in his last 8. His overall UFC record is 5-7 now and he hasn't really looked good in his fights.

Thiago just doesn't have it anymore, I think Riggs will take this.

Joe Riggs is out of his UFN 51 bout with Paulo Thiago at after accidentally shooting himself while cleaning his guns. That's....a new one.

Although now that he is already in the hospital this does set up perfectly for the Nick Diaz rematch!

Prediction: Thiago | Submission | Round 1

I read somewhere it happened while he was cleaning it ... not a gun owner, but when I was in the army I'm pretty sure we didn't clean our guns while they were loaded ... it was a long time ago, maybe I'm wrong ... also, must turn the safety off to get right under there and clean thoroughly, amirite?
