UFC typically likes to match up winners vs. winners and losers vs. losers. That said, How about: Lombard/Wandy Franklin/Clung Le Belcher/Weidman Boestch/Munoz Sonnen/Belfort Bisping/Stann -already booked Palhares/Okami -already booked Give the winner of Belcher/Weidman Anderson. Bisping and Stann have both lost too recently to get a title shot so quick. Especially compared to the streak the winner of a Weidman/Blecher matchup would be on.

They painted themselves into a corner when they erased Rangers from the books. A brand new club HAS to start at the bottom and win its way up. That's how it works. They should have found another way to sanction Rangers without disbanding them completely. Relegation, hard spending limit, no Europe.... Anything but what they did.

It's pretty good. You have to like smoked beers to like it. It's also fairly sweet. Don't plan on drinking the whole thing yourself.

Silva by destruction Forrest by decision - Hoping these guys put on a little bit of a show, but can see this one being pretty slow. Le by decision - Not a Cote fan. Le will control the exchanges and the grappling. Don't see Cote putting Le in any danger at all Mendes - Working with the 209 Bros has to be helping McKenzie. I will be rooti8ng for him. Mendes is a tier above him right now though.

Silva by murder

In the octagon, sure. I still like the dude. He's one of the good guys. Funny and humble. I don't see him ever getting another tittle shot, but I do think he has some interesting fights in him. And don't worry about a win against Tito meaning main event status. That is far from the truth. Maybe on an FX card.

I hope Forrest knocks Tito's teeth down his throat. Forrest is awesome and Tito is a tool. Pretty simple decision.

At least you have Cigar City now. I don't like their IPAs, but I love Zhukov and Big Sound. Never tried Hunuphu. Is that one as good as people say it is? How's Funky Buddha? They have a lot of hype behind them.

No problem. Yeah, shipping is pricey I send my brother in Stone Ridge beer all the time. Sent 6 bottles and a growler today for $35. I just sent it regular UPS and cheat on the weight a couple pounds. Shops have to do it legit and pay extra for the 21+ signature upon delivery and can't cheat the weight so it gets even more expensive. I sent 6 bottles to a guy in Jersey and shipping was $30. Almost doubles the price of the bottles I sent. No one makes IPAs like Alpine though, so it is probably worth it. If I ever moved back East I know I would have to splurge every once in awhile.

I just so happen to have a custom map I made for friends that visit http://goo.gl/maps/yKq2 If you like IPAs do your best to make a trip to Alpine. They are the best of the best when it comes to hops. Breweries and beer bars are plentiful out here. I haven't updated that map in a few months and can probably add 5 more breweries to it. I'm trying to keep it more quality than quantity though. I'll try to update it again soon. What part of town will you be in? Will you have a car? If you have any specific questions let me know. Also, if you are ever out here during the football season their is a kick ass Skins bar here too. ---------- Post added June-30th-2012 at 09:32 PM ---------- They just started bottling it last month. They dropped the Nautical from the name. A friend of mine runs a bottle shop that ships if you ever feel like treating yourself. http://www.bineandvine.com/

Brewery is right down the street from me. Drink it all the time. We make the best IPAs out here in San Diego, and it isn't even close.

Really interesting beer. After reading the initial reviews I thought it would be terrible. I actually liked it. Only had a small pour and I like smoked beers though. You definitely have to like smoked beers to enjoy this.

That would be amazing. I've been hoping for years they stepped up the Copa America to include the USA and Mexico teams. Of course the next step is for Mexico and USA to send the A-Squad. Do you have a link to the story? ---------- Post added June-2nd-2012 at 11:04 AM ---------- NBC Sports, but it's tomorrow night.

Friend cracked a Utopias at a bottle share. Starts like a Port Wine and finishes like a Sherry. Real nice. Don't think I'd ever fork over the $150 for a bottle though.

Every time someone mentions Campbell I think about how we passed on him in the draft. He was one of those guys that was falling and filled a need. His D-Line coach had just come to the Skins so everyone here said the coach must know something we don't and that Campbell won't be a very good pro.:doh:

Last night was an end of an era for me. My first really loved fighters were BJ Penn and Josh Barnett. Both seem to be done as try contenders and no one has really replaced them. Just as well, I guess. Don't really need to have a horse in the race to watch this sport. I'd give Gilbert the winner of Maynard-Guida. He didn't look great, but he still deserves top competition after the run he has been on.

Barnett by Crippler Cross-Face. Any good sites besides 1st row?

I'm not much of a Widmer fan, but that one is pretty good. I'm a little biased though as it was a hombres contest winner from a local guy here that I've met a couple times. ---------- Post added April-29th-2012 at 10:46 PM ---------- A couple picks from today ---------- Post added April-29th-2012 at 10:51 PM ---------- And one from last month a couple of you may like If anyone gets a chance to try something from Hill Farmstead, do it. ---------- Post added April-29th-2012 at 10:57 PM ---------- IONTOP, that one in the middle is from Goose Island and it is one of the greatest beers of all time.

I am really rooting for Evans. Always liked him. But I think Bones walks right thru him early. This is going to be explosive (I hope). If Evans can nulify the first wave of attack and turn the fight into more of a slower paced fight/wrestling match, he can win this thing. All it takes is one Bones elbow to the skull to change everything though. I think Bones can even KO someone from the bottom with one of those nasty elbows.

We haven't seen Patrick since his boy failed that test, have we? Patrick, all will be forgiven if you make with the links. Been in awhile. 1st row still the best bet? I hate that site...

Gustaf looked pretty good last night. I'm not on the bandwagon yet though. If he fought Shogun, I'd take Shogun. Machida, I'd take Machida. People rushing to throw him in the title picture is premature. I'd give him Bader, Lil' Nog or Forrest if Forrest beats Tito.

Are you guys watching Ultimate Insider? I'm really liking it. Last time I caught they had Cruz and Faber watching their last fight together with Anik interviewing them at the same time. Great stuff. This week Rashad and Jones are interviewed by Anik and they get after each other big time.

Wow. You guys are nuts. Barnett by Crippler Crossface.

Anyone talk Patrick off the ledge yet? Hendo would be kind of cool. I'm going ot on a limmb here and calling Josh Barnett takes the fight. He's already training for a May fight. No one cares about Cromier or the silly Strikeforce tourny. Give Josh his belt back!

I actually have a bunch of similar shots. I'll start posting some here if you guys like them.
