About Robert »

My main focus here is MMA. I found bleacher report when searching for rankings of fighters in each division. I looked at some of the typical sites, but then in the search I stumbled upon an article here by Derek Bolender. I read his 5 part series on the top ranked fighters and really liked it. I felt the need to comment so I registered. After checking out the site a bit I realized this was a great place to air my opinions and receive feedback, as well as a great place to keep up with the news on upcoming fights and etc. I got hooked and have decided to stay. I'm an aspiring writer so it works out.

    As far as being angry goes, I'm really just pissed that I'm not going to get to see Hazelett fight. He's one of my favorite fighters....

    Check out my latest article on Gegard Mousasi, based on a recent interview I did with him.

    Weigh in on your opinion of him as a fighter and what will happen to him in the future.

    The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

    Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

    I thought of a guy for Mousasi to defend his Strikeforce title against ... Lil Nog. He's the only guy that makes sense to me at this point.

    That's just it though. Feijao, Whitehead, and Kyle certainly are not in line for title shots so what the hell happens now? Sokoudjou in DREAM and then who knows ...

    Gracie, I would assume, would be at the light heavyweight limit if and when he makes his appearance. He was supposed to fight on the card last night but pulled out.

    So maybe i'm projecting Mousasi a bit w/ my #2 ranked lightweight. He's on a mission to validate that. Last night was a good start ... UFC missed a huge shot at getting him recently but it appeared like him and Fedor were kind of like a packaged deal. Who the hell is Mousasi going to fight in strikeforce though??? Southworth?? haha
