I like it....if nobody get's injured before or tests positive for PEDs after.

This should spark the idea of the all steroid MMA league.

Awesome fight. Was and still am a big fan of Thaigo, too bad his career has been plagued with injuries and positive tests. I am biased, but from what I have heard from interviews with him, his PED abuse comes as a result of the injuries. Also like Cavalcante, but am hoping for a throat slash at the end of this one.

This is a great match up. Should be fireworks standing and on the ground, if it goes there.

Yeah, I want PRIDE to be back as much as anyone else.

Dude you are on fire. Can't rep, but between this and the kidney comment in the baby momma thread you are killing me.

This will be a good fight. I kindof root against Thiago, b/c he seems like a dick (verra fight where he played drums on his back), but I also enjoy his violence in fights. Either way it should be good. Like everyone said hopefully no one tests positive for anything.

Seems like Thiago's fight to lose. He's very good on top, and I think he should be able to take the fight to the ground eventually. Cavalcante has good stand up but Thiago has a good chin and should be able to do pretty decent there as well.

That was great lol.

I'm a huge Thiago fan as well, and Feijao will be no small test for him. Hope he's been stayin in shape and is able to pull out a clean win. I'm trying to see that throat slash as well!
