What's your opinion on Gunnar Nelson guys? The next big thing or just overrated?

talented but IMHO he should fight @ 155lbs....I think there are some serious monsters waiting for him @ 170lbs - he looks to be a small Welterweight

Hes got one of those expressionless faces the Icelandic have and Ive never seen him show any emotion. But I like him as a fighter. Very fast on the floor with Thatch and hes got a good punch.

I dont like that open hand forward stance that alot of fighters have. Its obvious theyre going into someones eyes and if not the opponent can say they did.

And hes in touch with his feminine side

BTW what do you think of Nate Diaz vs Anthony Pettis? This fight might go down because of hate. I like that :D

Diaz has one of those faces you just want to kick. But hes got the right idea. If youre going to fight someone you want to get into the mindset to kill him! But hes not the best fighter in the world is he? He picks these fights and gets his arse handed to him.

Not sure how many more fights Pettis has in him and hes had a few injuries or pulled out of fights because hes apparently had them. But yeah it might be a goodun. No love lost.

Always loved Pitbull from when I started fighting. He always looked and fought like a wildman and me hair was like his at the time. Went for the shaggy mop look ugly%20man%20laugh_zpslc0enyet.gif

The fight with Brown was a goodun so Mir might well be on eh.

This fight might happen bro. Who you got? I am leaning towards Mir.

Bigfoot just won and Big Nog is just starting. Dead atmosphere in there but I suppose compared with Conor Wembley would be too,.

the WSOF WelterWeight Title fight was an entertaining affair. Palhares didn't get his signature leg lock, but did win by sub over Jake Shields.

I thought the Vieira vs Lopes was about the best fight but most the night was pretty lacklustre a bit like us today (Oh how happy I am I went! Even getting wrecked hasn't helped the mood) I stayed up to watch the luvly Rowdy and she finished it in 34secs. She coulda took her time with her to get viewers moneys worth lol But I think she got personal after the digs she took pre fight.

Shields had his moments, but never could finish Palhares. TBF there was the raking of Shields eyes to distract him from finishing. This is the point of contention everyone is all upset about

One more development from WSOF 22. The Diaz Bros fought with UFC Lightweight Contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, first cage side then in the Casinos of Las Vegas. Remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas :Goober:

Id like to see the Diaz bros fight each other! Drunk!

That open guard front hand style is dangerous where eyes are concerned and Im sure guys do scrape/poke on purpose hoping they will get away with it. But if they keep getting away with it nobody will stop doing it.

Naw, Palhares knew what he was doing. First he elbowed Shields on the eyelid & split it open. Then as the blood is trickling down Shield's face, Palhares rubs some of it into Shields eye. He did this when Shields had top position. Check it out for yourself:

Eventually the refs warned Palhares, but Shields lost his mental focus & ended up losing the fight.

Yeah youre right mate but you can also see Shields is trying to rub his own blood into his eyes too in that bottom shot eh.

in the end, WSOF stripped Palhares of his belt for dirty fighting :o I know it's a cage fight. I thought anything could go.
