MMA = sport
Wrestling = entertainment
And...I say Rashad over Rampage by chopping the legs outta Rampage, or Rampage by vicious KO over Rashad
I would prefer to see Rampage/Shogun, but I think Rashad/Shogun is more likely
He died for me, I live for him

I am curious if you could please quote where that rule is found. I tried to look up the rule where this rule is outlined (UFC) and was not able to find it. I even tried to look it up in the unified rules of MMA and was not able to find it.
Both the Score and Sportsnet reporters stated that it was a legal move based on the unified rules as well.

I don't know where these MMA 'experts' are getting their rules from. Despite Rogan's flaws, I have a lot of respect for his knowledge of MMA, and even he was wrong here.The following acts constitute fouls in a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts:
<snip>
18. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck.

Not a chance really. if that is the case then they also would of had to predicted the outcome...meaning they fixed the match.
No special conspiracy behind it..Daley was just stupid. Period.
And got completely hung out to dry for it.
Too bad..cause i was really rooting for him to knock Kos' head off. ...
SPOOOOOOOOOOOONN!!!!...

Why would Dana White help Silva in Abu Dhabi? The UFC was overseas for the 1st time in Abu Dhabi and it wasn't easy getting there. He wanted to leave a good impression, not a bad one.
Secondly, the Daley event was just pure stupidity. He's been fired as well unless the UFC runs dry on welterweight competition (which it won't), Daley's gone for good or until Dana is gone.
I think by Dana giving Silva his next opponent in Sonnen who is an avid talker was a smart move. Sonnen will take away the attention from Silva and the Abu Dhabi event because of his big mouth.
Also UFC = sport + entertainment. They aren't enacting storylines but they are trying to create feuds in order to drive business. Prime example is Brock Lesnar. Another example is the preshows for the Penn/GSP fight. They try to create drama in other ways that work much better. Also, UFC doesn't need a bad image when its still trying to crack big markets like NY and Toronto.

For those that want to watch Overeem vs Rogers, the fight will be on Superchannel in Canada.
Rogers Cable has Superchannel on free preview (the HD channels too) for the next two months. There is a strong possibility that the Fedor-Werdum fight (Sometime in June) will also be on Superchannel.
Just a heads up.

I should also mention that you MUST CALL IN and get them to unblock it for you.
It does not show up, unless you call them and specifically tell them that you want Superchannel.
I did this last night and within 15 minutes I received all the Superchannels (SC1, SC2, SC3, SC4 and HDSC1, HDSC2).
I also received an email (with an attached PDF that looks like an invoice) from Rogers confirming that it is FREE for the next 2 months. The invoice lists the price of all my services with the free preview (which remains unchanged), and the price once the promo expires (which shows that my services go up in price).
Here is a screen cap of the invoice, http://www.flickr.com/photos/50118979@N ... 2/sizes/o/

Thanks for the tip man! I just called Rogers and got it added to my account. I also just set a reminder to cancel it after 2 months too Not worth $15.99 a month!G-Yo wrote: ↑I should also mention that you MUST CALL IN and get them to unblock it for you.

so apparently Jonny Bones Jones was offered the fight against Lil Nog but denied it
apparently he's afraid to fight anyone that's a high level striker which is why he's instead settling for fighting on a free TV card against Matyushenko

Think he'll actually have a very tough time versus Matyushenko. I think bad style matchup. Cant wait for Overeem vs Rogers and Silva vs Arlovski

The guy is not even 23 yet and only has 11 fights in his career. He's not afraid, he's just not ready.
In other news, it's pretty awesome how Koscheck looks like an even bigger fool with the Habs' win today.

I actually like Kos act. The invisible knee was a little ridiculous but he entertains me. A couple of the Sherdog radio guys were saying that he really is just a miserable person to be around. This actually surprised me alittle, as I figured it would be mostly an act
