Just watched Brian Rogers fight.  He lost but looked impressive.  I had seen him before and am now a fan of his. I hope Dana White has his eye on him, too.  Looks like a great prospect.  Reminds me of a young Vitor Belfort, on a good day.  Is anyone else following him on their radar?

I was starting to hate this card but the ending made my night :)

I'll have to add this to my personal best fights of 2011, just because I was anticipating it so much and it made it that much more exciting and intense!

Hehe, I was doing the UFC fantasy league for a while, and actually, one of the top guys I seen had the same name as a guy in my pool (tylerdurdon). If it's the same guy remains to be seen. Not to brag, but I seemed to beat him a bit more than he beat me. 

And I think I will post here as well as UFC.com. It's just that there doesn't seem to be a Joker to everyones Batman here, if ya know what I mean. Everyone seems to just agree, and theres no heated arguments. That is what really makes a forum, imo. It's all greyscale, instead of in color. Heh. But a great place, no doubt. I DO like that there is no immaturity.

@Superman Oh trust me there is certainly some immaturity and 'Jokers' but definately not alot.  This is one of the better forums I've been on for sure, it's a very tight-knit community, and I havn't even been on for 2 weeks :P

@bill I don't think we'll see him in the UFC, but Rogers is good.  In the Bellator discussion thread you can pretty much guarantee he's on everyone's radar :)

He's on my radar he's a really tough dude and he looked great up until he got rocked, and he seems to have a really good personality so I'd say after tonight that I'm a fan and I'll be looking out for him in his next fight.

For sure, and if he beats Lombard, he'll pretty much earn himself a ticket to sign up whenever he wants.  That is going to be one hell of a fight and I think I'm leaning towards Shlemenko to win and I'll definately be rooting for him.

@Fresno: I can deal with immaturity, just not trolls and someone who's sole purpose is to try and insult you. Everyone is a little bit immature, and it's a good thing. Just as long as were all adults here, haha.  



Heh, don't mind me, LMAO

It will be very interesting to see if the UFC signs any Bellator talent once their Bellator contracts are up.  There are some UFC-worthy fighters, but will the UFC want to "legitimize" Bellator as an organization by signing them?

@Fresno It's not hating when it's true, Sherdog as a site is alright, but the members and the forums suck balls.

I haven't been on Sherdog, but I've seen some threads from there when searching on Google for MMA gifs. They don't seem bad to chat with, but I wouldn't wanna talk about MMA in a serious discussion over there.

And for those of you who know Cameldog, then...well, you know
