Big props to Bader for what was said about him: He has given over 80 K of his winnings to charity.

I think it comes down to Bader's chin, can he take the onslaught, I'm not confident he can. Although at the weigh in, Rumble looked timid and Bader looked confident. Not that that matters, but interesting.

I don't know why. But since St. Pierre is supposedly announcing his return in the coming days. What better way to do it than announcing it to millions of people live.

@GreenHornet553 I seen that the other day. Barnett's a cool character. He was calling out Werdum in that speech there. I hope he wins the title again.

I think Barnett could sub Werdum. He has a,weird enough style to do it.

Dumbass. I was so busy today and just went to make my picks and they're locked.  Can we extend the deadline a few minutes?

10-9 Olivieri. Excellent debut. Great poise.

Kerrigan doesn't know what he's doing in there as a ref.
