had the matchsticks in the eyes for this - on far too late, gonna have a word with Dana.

What you think about Florian calling out BJ?

Florian feels he has been due his shot since three fights ago, and for BJ to move up a weight to fight GSP instead, has obviously pissed Ken-Flo right off!

1/ Oh and BJ will kick Florians ass!
2/ Oh but not before GSP Kicks BJ's ass!
3/ Oh and then Thiago Alves will knock out GSP to take the Welterweight Title!

1 out of 1..... so far so good!

Except GSP will kill Thiago Alves!

he could, but then again maybe not!

Anyone watching UFC 95?

Bit of an upset there with Koscheck losing - great punch. I'm not sure about the stoppage though despite Joe Rogan thinking it was good.

Setanta FTW

Maia pulled off a tasty submission, very impressive. Really looking forward to main event.

Nate Marquart looks very big at 185, I'd like to see him get a rematch with Silva. He's certainly top 3 or 4 MW in UFC.

Nasty, nasty cut for Gouvaia.

Maia has amazing skills mate, big big fighter for the future

I gave this a miss tonight, cos the UFC always fuck us over when they come to the UK, the cards are totally pants, and i hate both Nightmare and Daddy!

Bring on UFC 96, the return on Rampage!, then UFC 97 Redemption, but not for the main event, for The Iceman instead!

But the big one for me now is UFC 100!!!!!!!!

GSP v Thiago Alves

GSP v Thiago Alves

The return of Rampage? He only fought at the end of December! Last night's card was far from pants, terrible reason for missing it!

What is everyone's impression of the British fighters from last night?

I think I was most impressed with Terry Etim - very, very raw but looks to have a load of potential. He could be good.

Dan Hardy obv was very good, still not sure he is going to be good enough.

Paul Kelly needs to work on his Ju-Jitsu - he could have been submitted by a poor Mandaloniz last night. Drop to 155 please.

a/ I was referring to his return being from his mental break down, and Felony charges for his high speed chase with Police. (I didn't think he would fight again.)

b/ The fight card was pants mate, if its in Vegas its Champoinship fights involving the top dogs, whereas when its in UK its pish fighters (usually shite British guys, and middle of the road american's like Ed Herman, Matt Wyman etc etc)

c/ My impression of british fighters, as you can gather from my above posting, is that most are shite and are utilised on the Fight cards that are used abroad. Most ain't good enough to make Vegas. This is just my opinion.

Its probably just me, but i prefer to see the big names fight on the big fight cards.

d/ fight card wasn't pants

Anderson Silva vs T Leites at UFC 97.

Silva priced up at 1.18. Anyone else think this is huge for Silva since the only way I could see him possibly getting beat is if he gets a random cut or miracle knockout but I'd price him up at 1.05 for this.

Not got a huge knowledge of boxing but do enjoy it. Just watched Tony Dodson V Tony Quigley on Setanta.
Brilliant fight. Think it's on tomorrow at 11am (will be repeated more than this), well worth watching.

Sitting in the house with a mate and a few beers tonight, had the Dilama of the Boxing match or Argentina v Venezuela

...went for Argy Game, and after a 4-0 demolition, we are very happy.

Will catch this Boxing tomorrow if its a good fight. cheers
