For sure. On the bright side for Manny... nothing is ever going to be as embarrassing as getting KTFO by ROB EMERSON!!

[Bread]

LOL no doubt. Holy crizzap that was hilarious.

I think Manny is going to get beat up. Again.

Manny tends to come out very agressively on the feet. IMO he should not want to get into a fire fight with Garcia b/c it will probably end badly.

But, he does have good takedowns. He is a black belt in judo and his wrestling always looks good. Garcia seems too wiling to fight off of his back and he absorbes alot of punishment there. He does tend to get a little sloppy too. Jermel Massouh probably could have finsihed him with that D'Arce if he didnt give up on it.

I would not be suprised if Manny bet Garcia. Not likely he ahs the power to ko/tko him as Garcia can take alot of punishment, but would not be shocked if he caught him in choke or, more likely won a decision. That said, I think Garcia should be the favorite.

[RobbReport]

take Brown to the bank guys, he's solid.

[southmadejd]

I agree with Robb, that Mike Brown is solid but Jose Aldo has looked strong also. If I had to lean either way I would probably pick Brown just because he has consistently beaten guys that people thought were better than him. If Brown can overpower Aldo and keep the fight on the ground, Aldo is in trouble. I just hope Aldo's athleticism doesn't stuff all of Brown's takedowns.

Oh yeah, Robbreport you still have oyster breath.

[RobbReport]

so you have penisbreath?

[southmadejd]

Does anybody know anything about this Karen Darabedyan kid?

[Bread]

Yea...his sister dates Reggie Bush.

[The HOFF]

Does anybody know anything about this Karen Darabedyan kid?

The bets are on Darabedyan because I think everyone is of the mindset that Razor Rob is on the downside of an over-rated career.

[Eccocide]

Yea...his sister dates Reggie Bush.

I see what u did there.

[Bread]

LOL.
