ha how he wins every fight - decision! Slight chance he pulls off one of his classic WEC dayz guillotines. Either way, I don't see the line getting better than that so had to take it. Henderson won't get in to a brawl with TJ like Dunham, Wiman, and Maynard all did. Henderson is more dare I say "cerebral"! Will probably be very tight but I think Henderson will pull it off again. Plus TJ has never gone more than 3 rounds before.

He seems like he gasses a little bit if the pace is pushed. Hendo might not push the pace because that could mean staying close range with TJ and risking taking a big punch. I get what your saying about the choke. TJ looks sloppy sometimes. Bendo is good with the chokes. I could see it happening. Probably later in the fight when TJ is a little more tired and Bendo's superior conditioning gives him and edge. if bendos cardio doesn't take over and give him and opportunity to finish the fight or TJ can't end it early on I expect this fight to be close as well. Maybe 48-47? All of Bendos title defenses are close though his opponents have been slightly more technically polished than Grant(Edgar, Melendez). Diaz was a string bean so he was thrown around and I will leave him out.

Sigh...guess I'm the only one on TJ.

I think he can win. He has a long list of good wins. I just think Bendo is more polished a fighter. Doesn't mean he will win.

@mattmitrione: Someone asked me if @BrendanSchaub is married. Seriously? I saw his Jiu Jitsu match. How you gonna get married when you refuse to engage?

**brooks85** · 06-24-13, 10:08 PM

Nas is a curious case, in that he released probably the best pure rap album of all time, then followed it up with mediocre album after mediocre album. He was the best rapper of all time for one album, then became middle-of-the-pack for the majority of the rest of his career. How do you judge a guy like that? It's like if Anderson Silva came into the UFC, beat Rich Franklin twice and then knocked out Forrest Griffin, then got beaten on the feet by Matt Riddle.

Drugs amigo. Anderson could had exactly the path you described with some of the shit they sell in USA.

**Vaughany** · 06-25-13, 03:07 AM

I donk think "I am" "It was Written", "Stillmatic", "Lost Tapes" or "God's Son" were mediocre. Highlight of his career was this though!...

It Was Written is one of his only good post-Illmatick albums, but I Am? Hated it.

That being said, his most recent album was actually pretty good.

Speaking of music, this is literally a perfect pop song. Holy f-ckballs.

It was written and stillmatic were still really good. Not illmatic, but still good. Doesn't have the consistency of say a Ghostface. Most guys best albums are their first. Then you go corporate. He had some doozys but I think he still comes out with some solid stuff for this days music. Far more consistent and less of a sell than your eminems or jay Zs of the world. That is for sure.

**Rubber Guard** · 06-25-13, 07:07 AM

One thing about Nas is he is fairly lazy. And he has some crappy taste in producers after his first few years.

**Vaughany** · 06-25-13, 07:10 AM

Jordan BUrroughs beat Kyle Dake 2-0 in best of 3... #alliseeissquid

**sideloaded** · 06-25-13, 07:16 AM

just f-cking with you V,

alexis did have a horrible training camp though, gassed out bad in there against anyone else but Rosi and she loses

**Rubber Guard** · 06-25-13, 07:17 AM

My friend wrestled at Cornell and is good friends with this Dake kid. He called him up later after this match. I guess the kid got killed in the 1st but did a lot better in the next.

nope, you are absolutely right. A performance like that against Rousey, Zingano, Kaufman or even Tate and Lezzymouche and she'd be losing

**sideloaded** · 06-25-13, 08:37 AM

I dont think we will have to worry about Zingano. She didnt just hurt or tear her knee. She completely imploded it. I take back her winning agianst rousey. That injury is so bad I doubt she wins another fight in the ufc before retiring.

Obviously decision my brudda, but Grant just seems dangerous everywhere, he's not the man to clinch with and his Jitz is dangerous as well, you banking on him just keeping the kicking distance? Because trading hands with him will be a baaaad tiiiime. Henderson gets dropped a lot and could give away rounds that way, and he doesnt seem to use his wrestling that much any more, and he will be the smaller and possibly weaker man come fight night, and he's gotta stop getting these blatant gift decisions at some point. I don't know if its his striated quads or long curly hair thats seducing the judges, but it wont be his home town this time around. All in all just seems like a dangerous fight to lay the juce on, was why i asked

You banking on dem quads winning the day once again i see ;>

**Vaughany** · 06-25-13, 10:01 AM

dem quads are too much son! "His legs are like tree-chunks, Joe"!!!!

**mirinquads** · 06-25-13, 12:30 PM

Yep am mirin fo sho

**Grabaka** · 06-25-13, 12:34 PM

Nice track MD. I liked it.
I do like Nas a lot too.
I want to ask about the notorious big... is that super mainstream or why you dislike it? (if you do)
Nobody listen to rap in Mexico so i dont know. what is it? dumb lyrics?
Also Mobb Deep...same i want to know.

BIG is very mainstream, yeah. I don't dislike him at all, he's one of the most talented rappers of his generation, if not of all time. A bit overrated, yeah, but his skill was undeniable.

Love Mobb Deep, but they're pretty underrated. Don't get talked about much these days. You ever listen to Gang Starr? Amazing.

Rap doesn't get better than this in my opinion.

**Grabaka** · 06-25-13, 12:59 PM

Thanks MD. Nice stuff.
I do dislike 50cent big time...just his face makes me puke.
