144 weigh ins just finished.

Rampage came in six pounds overweight at 211.

edit.. apparently Page was injured in camp and couldn't do any running. He said he cut 21 pounds but couldn't do the last six. He said it's the most he ever cut. He said the injury is almost healed up now.

Makes things more interesting.

This card is going to be off the hook. One of the best on paper. the ppv starts at normal time but will have more fights than usual and will be 4 hours long. I can't wait.

Rampage is a 30-something past his prime vet who missed weight for the first time ever. I can let it slide. I still have him by KO and that's not me just picking Rampage by KO for the fuck of it. Bader's only chance of winning is landing a monster (and I mean MONSTER) overhand right (i'm drunk as shit right now and can't remember what hand Bader has more power in. might be the left, fuck you) which I seriously doubt will happen because he's not quick enough to mix up shooting and strikes properly. Page is going to see that coming from a mile away.

Retardedly stoked for the main event and J-Lau/Showtime fights.

Gomi, Louzon, Rampage and Hunt.

But no bet yet. I mean, fuck it though. What's 20 bucks if I split it with a buddy? Or I could switch a couple parlays to have Pettis and Congo instead.

bbatson1 · Post by **bbatson1** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 7:03 pm

i would do the first option for 20 bucks.

What I meant is that I could do two separate best. One card have the original picks, the other bet switch a couple questionable fights. But like you said, it's a tough card to pick.

This is almost my most anticipated fight on the card. I'm a big Lauzon fan, but Pettis is as game as they come. Should be a great action packed, technical fight.

Who are you picking?
