@krazyhops, he looked almost as bad as Shogun against Bones. Oh wait, no he didn't, nobody could look as bad as Shogun vs. Jones.

Haha xbass is still trying after talking **** about Nog and Shogun. Hopefully Anderson can get the TKO early and I'll finish 9/12.

"shogun back to championship form" lol gotta love the hyperbole, this is one of those fights that makes shogun look like he's the greatest fighter of all time...i don't see him beating rashad, and obviously not jones, probably not davis either. i think forrest would win the rubber match also

So far KOTN should go to Nog imo, but we gotta see what Anderson pulls out of his ass first.

If Okami loses, it's because of his entrance music.

Nog couldn't even jump onto the cage afterwards. Shogun can't beat Jones, Davis, Rashad, or Rampage. Probably not Gustaffson either.
