I'd say your picks are spot on, but I do hope Herring ups his game and puts on a better show

[Sensei Tom OBrien]

Me too because if he doesn't bring his 'A' Game he is gonna be in a world of pain. Brad Imes is a huge guy.

Thanks,

Diego has been training with Oscar DeLahoya to improve his boxing skills. Josh has improved a lot since he last fought Diego. Matt has had the Gracie gym for himself because he & GSP both train there but Matt has been there longer. I think that was very sporting of the Gracies to give Matt the preferencial treatment because of seniority. The Gracies are always a class act. True to the arts. GSP has not been sitting on his laurels either. These are going to be some great fights.

Thanks,

I agree with your pic's accept for the Imes one. I am actually hopping for Heath to pick up his game and show the American fans he does put on an impressive show.

You see the ultimate fight night live. I caught the last fight were Joe fights melvin. I can't stand melvin. So I am so happy Joe won the way he did. Threw the jab in to knock melvin back. Take the single leg and takes him down. Melvin stands up. Joe hooks around the head and finishes him with the Guilliotine choke. Joe is awesome!

We have another thread on the Fight Nite results.

good matchups!

Wow! Great night of fights!

I didn't think Josh would win, but I am glad he proved me wrong. I don't care much for Diego so I am glad Josh won.

Roger Hureta VS Garcia fight was awesome also. Those light weights were action packed for the whole 3 rounds. Good respect shown. I am definetliy a fan of Roger now.

I am glad Groves won. I like his style. Nice D'arce choke that won him the fight. Put the guy asleep.

I am suprised at how Serra won agains GSP. I didn't expect that to happen. I really like the respect shown between both fighters before and after the fight. I am defiently a fan of both.

I can't believe GSP lost. I was so stunned... he's my favorite fighter.

But I agree with Adonis, I really liked the respect between GSP and Serra vs. the Diego and Josh pushing deal at the weigh-in.

I really was shocked that GSP lost.
