a great watch, cheers. he's the reason i follow the Pacers.

Good thing Nathan Jones doesn't feel the same way.

yeah i'd be staying the extra day for sure! going to Tool tonight.....pumped. no Sabbath though unfortunately. tough choice for you at 159 i'm sure, maybe your hoping for a simultaneous KTFO?

Lee that is no excuse for not coming to the UFC in Vegas, so you better come up with something better next time. We need all the Tool, UFC, Bill Hicks, Demon fans we can get.....so hang in there. thanks for sharing your story. Adam

watch for 10 minutes of hard at it, contested football and then a fade away into mediocrity..........this is the Melbourne i have seen soo many times.

i can't help but feel that if Jurrah was still at our club that this case would have run for another 6 months and he would be serving 5-10 years. probably a good thing he left.

for anyone who missed the FX Stann Vs Silva card, check it out, some of the best stand up i have ever seen in the main event. also a great fight between our very own kiwi Mark Hunt and Stefan Struve.

can we please put Jesse Hogan on the Demonland banner?

i thought that was rhyming slang for a second there...... don't worry mate, i was excited too.

Just got back from Vegas after 156, which was a bit of a mixed card. first of all, the Mandalay Bay stadium only holds about 9,000 people so it was much smaller than Acer Arena, and as i expected the fans leave it very late to show up. Also, after the Edgar vs Aldo fight, about a quarter of the fans started leaving before they learned the result.......wtf? the night we got to Vegas we sat down for dinner with Anthony Pettis at the table right next to us, and Rashad Evans walking past with his crew having just come from a training session......not something we're used to seeing. the card itself; i got a real buzz out of seeing Yves Edwards even though he lost an average fight to a questionable decision. All the prelim fights were very entertaining, Tibau vs Dunham, Woodley smashing Hieron and a good match-up between Benavidez and McCall. when the main card started between John Fitch and Damien Maia, i wondered if the first fight would be a classic battle between two guys with great ground games, or a boring mess. it turned out to be the later. Overeem vs Silva.......wow. Not sure if it was just because i was present, but that looked like one of the more brutal KO's i have ever seen, and i never would have guessed it would be Overeem on the end of it. the most disappointing fight of the night (yes....including Maia and Fitch) was Nogueira Vs Evans for me. How Rashad Evans can train for months and put in such a weak and timid effort is beyond me. Aldo Vs Edgar was again a heartbreaker for Frankie. you could probably mount a case for either fighter but in my opinion Aldo has been anything but convincing since moving from WEC to UFC, and Frankie Edgar has been very unlucky in his past few fights. i really hope Edgar has one more crack at him as i think a loss for Aldo may not be far away. All in all i had an absolute blast in Vegas but i gotta say the atmosphere watching a card it Vegas was nowhere near as good as watching a card in Sydney, particularly the first one. Now if they would only start treating us like they do Canada........we would be getting a much better slice of the pie.

I went to the Lakers vs Hornets game from two nights ago. I'm not a lakers fan so I don't see them on the box all that much, but the other night they were very hot and cold. When the hornets rested the whole starting five, the lakers dominated, but when the hornets had their best team out there it was game on. I was very impressed with Kobe and his assists, he's almost too unselfish. As for the hornets, Anthony Davis......wow.

155 was pretty average card with an excellent main event. i have always though Cain Velasquez was too good a fighter to not get the title back at some stage, what i didn't realise was just how tough Dos Santos is. Velasquez looked for all money like he would end this fight early and he hit Dos Santos with some wicked shots, but just when you thought Dos Santos was finished, he just refused to go down. not only that, but he was also able to regain his composure and land a few big shots of his own later in the fight. full credit to Velasquez though, it was dominant performance, but i can't wait to see the next chapter from these two as there is not much between them. we have also had the final of the smashes and the Sots vs Pearson fight late last year really liked the Hector Lombard vs Palhares fight, and also Robert Whittaker vs Brad Scott. Very impressed with Whittaker, and hopefully he can make a real impact in the UFC. The other final between the two poms Fletcher and Parke was an absolute snoozefest. a while ago D.A you mentioned the words "Sots" and "glass jaw"...........if there was any doubt, i think it can now be put to bed. i actually thought he put a pretty good fight after getting rocked early, and looked well on top in the second round. his problem though, is that anytime he gets hit with anything reasonable, he goes down. inevitably he got hit again, went down, and she was all over from there. not sure where to from here for Sots..........enormous ability, much better on his feet with improved striking, but what happens if he gets hit? i'm off to the states in a week or so to see 156 which looks like a cracking card, and it will be interesting to see the difference between UFC Vegas and UFC Sydney. for a start i think we will probably be the only ones to attend the prelims! i'll return with report......

Super Bowl weekend is the date for the vegas trip for ufc 156........... the card so far is Edgar vs Aldo, Evans vs Nogueira, big foot Silva vs Overeem, Fitch vs Maia. i was pretty [censored] about missing out on the Silva vs Sonnen fight but this is shaping as a pretty red hot card. anyone thinking about it, i'm booking next week!

haha......good stuff mate, that would have been a buzz.

very jealous, one of my all time favs. you sure you need that ticket?

How the hell did you manage that?

yeah pretty pumped for the gsp/ Condit fight. i really like Condit and he's done really well against some quality opponents, but gsp is on another level. should be a great fight and i'll tip gsp to win in his usual wrestling way, so get on Condit.

Crazy huh. My mates now want to go to Vegas in feb but I only want to go if spider is on the card! I wonder if he would be any chance for Sydney.......they owe us a big one.

Rivers was/is significantly harder than Garland.

I had similar thoughts for watts, possibly play him on the wing, he would be a hard match-up. Of course playing him as a third tall forward would also be an option.

cheers

Dan Hardy had another solid win again today against Amir Sadollah and Struve k.o'd Miocic in very impressive fashion.

during games it looked like he loved it on the forward line. i'd never seen him smile so much until he started kicking goals.

was screaming for that arm to break! apart from that submission attempt i was pretty disappointed with Vitor though, i really like the guy, but i question his mental toughness at times. he definitely needed to let his hands go at some stage and it just never came......disappointing. the rest of the card was a bit of a snoozefest, and the little guys are just way too fast, you can't even tell if they land a punch!

who said anything about getting laid? i was talking football
