    Didn't know if there's an exception for competing in your own country.

    Hopefully he fights at least one more time before then, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ben Henderson headline that card

    Doubt it, in America you can. Not sure how things work over there.

    Dominick Cruz is color commentary for Shooto Brazil, which is live right now.

    It's amazing how some people will look at Frankie and say he is a boring point fighter. Some idiot writer for Bloody Elbow has an article saying that bs. If you really think that the I question your knowledge of the sport of MMA.
    Jack Slack has an excellent article on Fightland breaking down Frankie's performance.
    I am a fan of beautiful technique. Two guys just slugging it out doesn't do it for me.

    That's why it was a beauty watching GSP fight. Did he finish fights later in his career? No, but aside from the Hendricks fight and that head kick Condit landed on him, the guy absolutely dominated his opponents for 25 straight minutes.

    To be honest I was a critic of GSP, there were times I felt he could have done more. But since his absence I have really come to respect his accomplishments and dominance.

    I think Rory will win the title and hold on to it for a while, he is young technical and really coming in to his own.

    If Robbie wins again, thats dope too, but I do believe Rory's time is coming. GSP failed on his first title shot and his first defense before he figured it out.

    Just skimmed through that card, couple decent fights. Cool way to get Cruz some experience, hes great at breaking down fights and i could see him being a good color commentator in the future. Noticed they've kinda swept Florian under the rug quietly and brought in Brian Stann who i also like a lot.
