I wouldn't bet against Randy vs anyone in the world right now, yes including Fedor. The guy is on fire.

All I want for Christmas is for the UFC to sign Fedor, and make the match with Randy on NYE.

"anyone else think it kinda sucks Gonzaga was bleeding from an "incidental" head to head collision and not a hard right or left?"

Yes. It's really too bad, because I would have liked to see what he could've done had this head to head collision not occured. He showed a lot of heart in trying to fight on, but realistically that collision ended the fight.

Didn't seem totally "incidental" to me... more just like an advantage of being offensive and being the guy who is forcing the action.

While a lot of this would have to do with the line, etc. Fedor is >>>>> Randy.

if you watch the replay it looks like gonzaga knee'd himself in the nose. even his toes hit the canvas above his head. also take into account the direction of his nose break.

Has anyone seen the unaired prelim of Sobral vs. Heath?

[ QUOTE ]
Sobral beat David Heath by a second-round submission Saturday night, but he wouldn't quit after Heath tapped out. He kept holding the choke until Heath was unconscious. It was a dangerous, dirty move, and one that has no place in mixed martial arts or any sport. The Nevada State Athletic Commission will hold a hearing on Sobral's action and has withheld $25,000 of Sobral's $50,000 paycheck.

As reported here.

I watched it on UFC: On Demand today. It's not as bad as the descriptions I read last night. He definitely holds it on, but it isn't any longer than Penn/Pulver or some of the early Royce stuff. Heath was a goddamn bloody mess though.

Apparently, Heath was wearing a shirt with Babalu's mug shot on it (Sobral picked a fight with a bouncer(s) a few months ago). Sobral took that as a huge display of disrespect and made him pay for it. If that's true, I'm not really upset about it as a fan.

Thanks.

It wasn't that bad, but that crap shouldn't be tolerated, regardless of what Heath had said earlier.

[MikeyPatriot]

He's probably going to have half his purse withheld.

Where was the outrage a month and a half ago when BJ Penn did the same thing?
