2. Fedor fans are retarded.

3. Most people doing the rankings are Fedor fans.

Anyone still got all those old gifs saved from that one site? I have some but not enough to make a good OP.

There are some GIFs linked in the UFC OP I think, and I made a GIF thread last year but there are lots more that could be added now.

Strikeforce tag is a bit much. The promotion is growing but it doesn't represent all B-League promotions. An overall MMA tag would be better.

MMA tag, Boxing tag, Kickboxing tag, Wrestling tag (?), then maybe a tag that has Brock Lesnar holding up a UFC belt. That should about do it.

What about a TUF tag? They run that as a series twice a year plus kick off and finale cards.

It may be a good idea to have fight breakdowns and small fighter bios for this weekend's GDT so WrestleFolk who are interested know what's going on.

Jeez extra pressure!

I was planning on linking to the wikipedia articles in the op along with pictures and stuff in an effort post. Is it still cool to post on Thursday afternoon?

Enjoy watching him in the cage, enjoy laughing at him outside of it. Do not let one interfere with your enjoyment of the other. You will be a happier mma fan for it.

This is the best advice.
