Cant wait for the 29th! And on another note, I think Cerrone vs Siver should be on the main card instead of Jorgensen/Curran. just my opinion..
amen!
BJ looks fat. He hasn’t been training for this fight. His cardio will come into question again. It’s ashame because BJ has so much talent.

thats just how bj is when he fights at 170 looked the same when he knocked out matt hughes in 21 seconds sure diaz is a different animal

In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will probably be much more useful than ever before.
