Carano tapps out Evinger by rear naked choke late in the 1st

Villasenor got the win by split decision

that was a damn good fight, i think Fukuda should get the nod though

24267 i think but its on showtime this Fukudo/Villasenor fight is great. great action throughout the entire fight so far.

on a sidenote, why is Bill Goldberg still being paid to give his opinion on MMA?:doh: he has to be the worst commentator of any sports

my picks for tonights Elite XC card: Ninja vs. Lawler: i'm actually more a fan of Ninja, but i see Lawler catching him with something brutal and KO'ng Ninja late 1st or early 2nd. if the fight should happen to get to the ground, i would expect Ninja to tap Lawler though. Lawler by KO late 1st or early 2nd Diaz vs. Aina: Not that familiar with Aina, but he's never been finished in a fight as all his losses have come by decision. that said, Diaz has a great ground game and i expect him to tap Aina middle of round 2. Diaz by sub 2nd round Shields vs. Charuto: Jake is huge for welterweight (he cuts from 190). i expect him to grind out a decision against Charuto as Charuto is technical enough to stay out of most dangers. Shields by UD. Villasenor vs. Fukuda: i look for Villasenor to bounce back from his loss to get a decision agains Fukuda. Villasenor by UD. Carano vs. Evinger: i've only seen Carano fight once, and have never heard of her opponent therefore i won't predict this fight.

Elite XC card is tonight 10pm(est) on Showtime

damn shame, Diaz is one of my favorite fighters. Never in a boring fight, and has been at the wrong side of some close decisions. He has improving standup and an extremely aggressive style of jiu-jitsu. He constantly goes for submission from the bottom and always looking to end the fight. How he gogo'd Gomi while high is beyond me:laugh: kinda makes me wonder how bad he would've beat Gomi if he was sober.

whoever told S.Dot to go blonde needs to be shot. career ain't been right since he messed up in that match with Carlito. damn, damn, shame.

ain't he gettin suspended?

damn now bookers gone, i really have no reasons left to watch raw.

just out of curiousity, when has Forrest ever demonstrated KO power? he's a decent striker but i don't think of him as a KO artist of any sorts.

i don't pay Rogan attention when he gets like that, he does that with every fighter using the same adjective (i.e., that guy has "crazy" submissions; that guy throws punches from "weird" angles; that guy's power is "insane") he's like that for every fighter. Rogan knows MMA so it doesn't bother me, but he hypes every fighter for every match regardless.

Hamill isn't overhyped as i don't hear anyone putting him up with the elites, but he is an improving fighter. while he didn't do much damage on bisping on the ground, Bisping didn't do any damage to hamill for three rounds. Most of the time Hamill simply chose to let bisping get up off the ground, he really didn't try to hold him there.

dropping someone is not an automatic point imo, that rule should apply to boxing only. i agree with giving rampage the 5th round, but henderson was competitive throughout the round. a 10-8 round should only be scored when one fighter is thoroughly dominated throughout the entire round.

i don't buy that though, yes you should always try and finish a fight, but when its a clear decisions the judges have a responsibility to get it right. Bisping knows he didn't win that fight. When judges screw somethin up that bad, it hurts the credibility of the sport, this same type of obvious bull**** decisions is what helped to keep boxing down for so long.

i scored the rampage/hendo fight 49-46 for Rampage i gave Hendo the 1st round. the 2nd round was close and i wouldn't argue with people who gave the round to Hendo but the 3rd, 4th, 5th, while close, i thought Rampage did enough in each to warrant giving him the round

Rampages progression since training with Juanito Ibarra is amazing. he managed to control a world-class wrestler on the ground, and his striking is looking more and more crisp. he'll be tough for anybody to beat with his new team behind him. i hope Shogun beats forrest so we can see a rematch of Shogun/Rampage

he would be a good style match up for Shogun, but Shogun has virtually been promised a title shot if he beats Forrest so thats a no go for Alexander. Alexander definitely deserves to face a name in the ring, i would put him up against Jason Lambert, who has been impressive since being KO'd by Rashad Evans.

no he hasn't. first of all, if Shogun beats forrest (which is likely), he's next in line for a title shot. 2nd of all, alexander isn't quite ready for that level of competition just yet. although i wouldn't mind seeing him fight Wandy in Dec.:2cents:

people on Sherdog who are from the london area and Bisping fans are saying that Hamill got robbed so you know the decision is complete bull****.

my thoughts exactly. He told Hamill to "go back to wrestling", Hamill out struck that man for 3 rounds. Bisping will never come close to holding the title at 205 or 185 when he drops down.

Hamill got robbed, no way in hell Bisping won that fight

yeah watchin live was better, the commercials are killin me

pretty much. Kongo is a good striker, and Mirko started back-peddling in the 2nd round and never stopped. terrible showing for CroCop, good win for Kongo. If Kongo develops a solid ground game he can be a contender in the HW division.
