He's like a real life Van Damme. And then they got me in there, who's the real life Joe Pesci or something." -Matt Serra.
Haha, I need to change it...I just put that in there when I made the account just to have something. It reads - Surrender, Its not just for the French anymore.

LOL. That's funny. I love those types of pictures that have been floating around. I have a bunch.
Okay, we return you to the regularly scheduled topic already in progress.
I took Liddell, Rua, Fitch and Tavares. Not real confident on the Fitch and Tavares bets. Those should be wicked battles. I'm glad they're throwing Tavares into the deep end instead of nursing him along like Huerta.

I had to throw 1k on Jardine. I like his punching power. Even though I'm 85%sure that Chuck will win, you never know in these slugfest fights. I had to throw a couple grand on Diego. I don't like him at all, and I love Fitch. I just don't think Fitch is ready to fight someone like Sanchez yet. If I gotta see Diego win, might as well win some points on it too.
This gambling thing is gonna get addicting. Been here almost a year and a half, and just now getting into it. When I start begging for points, please don't hate me, FF.

I 've heard good things about Shogun, but don't really know how good he really is. Eventhough Griffin is not a great fighter, I do like him as a person and for his dedication trying the hardest in every fight he fought, so I'm betting some on Griffin, and await to watch and see how Shogun performs in the UFC.
Plus the odds are too good to say no to
There's a big chance of upset in the Liddell/Jardine 's fight I think, but Chuck will always be one of my favorite fighter.
Also, watch closely on Tyson Griffin, a quiet veteran, with great future in the UFC/mma.

You should go watch a Shogun HL.
He seriously fights like that all the time, no joke.
