Vemola will be back fighting in the UK after tonight.
He looks awful....
Yeah I was saying on The Ringers board, Vemola is 8-0 in Europe and 0-1 (soon to be 0-2) in North America.
Markes only has a 2 hour time difference from Rio to Milwaukee.
Vemola just doesn't fight well out of Europe, at least to this point in his career.
Agreed. It's easy to look impressive against sub-standard opponents.
Markes was still impressive though imo.

I went with Noke. Seems like he's on the hot streak and has looked real good.
5-0 - 37 pts, came close to changing to Vemola, glad I didnt, Markes looked pretty comfortable the whole fight.

The other part of the story is that Ronny Markes is a legit fighter. . . Vermola's game is so rudimentary.

HOT BOUT NEXT!
Herman vs. Noke
Who's everyone got?
I've got Herman and i'm pretty confident.
Be interested to see who has Noke and how you think he wins ?
Herman. This was one of the only fights where I was truly confident in my pick. Not so confident at this point lol.

4-1 now. Vemola did not look good at all. I went with Noke as well.
Ive picked Noke UD, this is the HB as well, if J MIller wins Ive hit my parlay.
4-1 37 points
Made all the money back i bet on this event , so far. 1 Parlay leg down.
Herman UD, but Noke's entrance music is fearsome.

Gonna be interesting how Herman approaches this fight. I can't recall how good Noke's takedown defense is.

Same score for me.
I wish i'd taken notice of my camp and picked Markes now.

I had Herman UD
but changed to Noke UD after seeing him at the weigh-ins, he just looked stronger and bigger and I think he could control the fight to win a UD

There are more people in the Sao Paulo metro than the entire state of Florida.

It was non-existent on TUF.
Noke would get taken down by a draft on the show........
Screaming during the Walk-in. I hope he doesnt gas himself with the adrenaline dump.
I took Herman, better wrestling, better jitz, and not too far below Noke in the stand-up. Plus I bought him a beer at a local MMA event back in 07 so he owes me a win on the Hot Bout.

Atta boy Herman! Noke can't fight on the ground with him on his best day, glad that was the Hot Bout.
EDIT: Glad that was the Hot Bout rather than Lytle/Hardy is what I mean.
