I don't UNderstand how you came up with the options for that poll. I don't think you can limit this question to 5 or 6 options. Oh well...

I think the guy who mentioned Guida/Huerta hit the nail on the head. I was pulling for Guida because he got screwed in the Griffin and THomas fights. He was dominating and got caught. I felt so bad for him, cause Huerta could have afforded a loss more than Guida could have. If this could hav eincluded decisions though, I'd have taken Hammill/Bisping, but that's neither here or there.

BTW, it irritates me whenever I see people make excuses for the Penn/Hughes 2 fight. BJ got hurt, SO WHAT? It's a fight, people get hurt, that's the name of the game. You could see by looking at BJ (and his beer belly) he wasn't in very good shape (compared to the way he looks now, anyways). The better shape your in, the less likely you are to get injured in your fight. It was nobody's fault but BJ's that he got hurt.

I'm not attacking you personally, so I aplogize if it looks that way. But I've seen that excuse for BJ in that fight several times on several different sites, and I needed to get that off my chest

-BJ/Joe, learned to never bet against BJ
-Chuck/Tito, yeah he was losing but damn that ref for the early stoppage!
-Chuck/Babalu
-Shogun/Forrest, now people think Shogun sucks or was on steroids in PRIDE which is completely ridiculous.

Seeing Rich go down the way he did in the second fight with silva was tough. The first fight was rough to watch but the second one was just sad, he put everything he had into it and it wasnt even close... glad to see he is still fighting though
