Since when is being right about being brave?

You're genius opinion that Collard clearly won by round 3, followed by your assertion that a kid who just turned 21 and has an 11-1 record has yet to impress you.

You're pretty smart.

I love that the commercial for the Faber fight is basically "Watch Faber probably murder this fool".

At least it's one of the more accurate commercials the UFC has released

@Willendorfs, no....that's too much explosive athleticism the cage couldn't handle it.

Fun fact, today Dana said Pettis is the #1 p4p fighter in the world (as he tends to do when a fighter is fighting on a card he wants to sell).

Even funnier fact, on the same day, when asked how he'd fair against Ben Askren if he were a UFC lightweight, Dana's new #1 p4p fighter said Askren would, and I quote, whoop his ass. Stating that Ben holds him down for ages and laughs at him in practice :)
