Too many fighters are playing it safe with wrestling for points and rounds. Btw, I think Overeem would have beaten JDS only because I think his striking is better. As far as the PEDs, I think most MMA fighters take them in some form or another. For that matter, in most professional sports I think most athletes take them. Cheers! :smile: Hey Ellison, I agree with everything you said. Too many fighters are playing it safe with wrestling for points and rounds.

Outside of Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans and Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen, there are no superfights on the horizon. Alistair Overeem got busted for steroids so the superfight with JDS is off, he's been replaced with Frank Mir. Mir is a great fighter, but I'm a Overeem fan and was looking forward to that fight. The UFC on Fox fights have been boring as hell. UFC on FX have been okay, not good, but not bad either.UFC on Fuel has been fun, especially the first one with Diego Sanchez vs Jake Ellenberger. They have too many ppv events being headed by fighters with no drawing power. More and more fighters are willing to go to decision. More and more wrestlers are turning fights into laying contest. That's it, I'm going back to boxing. MMA has been getting boring this year. Outside of Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans and Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen, there are no superfights on the horizon.

OK for whatever planet they live on but here on earth, businesses do not conduct themselves in this manner so I thought it was an attempt to phish some information from me and told them that I would call them on Monday when I was in my office. Sure enough, my partner called because his card was declined when he tried to get gas. Yep, like the rest of you, we were LONG term, good paying customers and they froze my card on Christmas Eve. On Monday, I spoke to a clerk and cancelled my card. Then a couple days later I spoke to a supervisor to express my outrage at the way AMEX conducted themselves and was basically told that they work 24/7 and that it did not matter that it was a holiday and that they would protect themselves at all costs. There is something seriously wrong with American Express, I will never do business with them again and I no longer accept AMEX for payment at my company. VISA is more than happy to have my business, my charges and my payments of over $15,000 a month.

BAM! :) And I really wish MS would do something with SkyDrive, like you know, publicize it and make an app for it. I have it but it's pretty useless in the mobile world.

It's my fear that one day they will end up like Houston, whom I was never a really big fan of. Great voice, yes, but never a fan. I had a friend who started smoking because it "helped him to relax." How do you know if you've never done it before? Bent logic. He finally quit after seeing his parents both die of health complications caused by smoking but the damage is done after being around that smoke since a kid. As far as Houston goes, my gut instinct is that her death will be ruled "accidental" and caused by drowning, not the drugs. While she may have downed a cocktail of alcohol and prescription drugs, they probably didn't cause her death. It was their effects that caused her to drown, which killed her.
