I was thinking Knee or elbow. Kenny does have some nasty bows.


elbows typically don't knock people out, just open up cuts and do damage.

Yea I read that ealier and thought it was right on.


I know alot of people are going to think he is whinning about him thinking GSP being on steroids, but I bet 70% of MMA thinks GSP's on steroids, so it's kind of hipocritical of MMA fans.

“He’ll put them out of business,” White said. “They have no money. These guys have no money and they have no distribution. Four f---king people watch Showtime.”

White wouldn’t say specifically what a battle with Strikeforce could include, be it counter-programming or otherwise, but he issued several warnings.

“We’ll see what happens,” White said. “If they want to fight me, we’re gonna fight. We know how that goes, and we know how it ends.”

Is he referring to Fedor as the "he" in "he'll put them out of business"?

Whether you like the guy or not, he's funny

He does bring up a potential point about Showtime though (I personally don't know anyone that has Showtime). Does anyone know where to find numbers on the other MMA shows that they have aired compared to say UFC PPVs, UFC Spike Fight Nights, and EliteXC on CBS?

BJ Penn will spank Kenny's arse, Pulling for Forrest, but would not bet on it, Pulling for Amir,Josh Neer, Kendall Grove, Don't care to ever see Thales again, Dan Cramer, Sotiropoulos, Aaron Riley, Tamdon McCrory, and dont know Lennox or Villefort

Last time Strikeforce had a big card (Arlovski/Rogers, Smith/Diaz) I added it to my cable package on Friday and canceled it on Monday. They didn't even charge me.

I've heard that too but have not been able to find a link for it.

Dana said he would jump off of Manadalay Bay if they did 1.5 mil. So that tells me he would be happy and satisfied with 1.3-1.4 To do 1.7 mil PPV buys, I know he feels like the UFC can't be touched right now as if he didn't already feel that way.

I knew something was up when they offered Tito the new contract and he said "you will never here me mention money again" is just absurd.

Not to mention they just signed Vitor Belfort and already were going to trade Fort Knox for Fedor.

I think the strikeforce with Fedor on CBS scares him.

He was dead on about the champions not defending their belts, but I think that's just them moving away from being a regional show and trying to grow and compete. I wouldn't be surprised if they strip Overeem and Fedor fights somebody for the title.
