Good, he's too good of a legend to suffer anymore knockouts.
Now he'll be finally remembered for all the right reasons.

No, he was the people's champ, any pissed bloke who every saw him fight would think I could do that, go toe to toe with someone and throw haymakers. He wasn't quite as technical/skilled as other fighters which added to his appeal, he looked like a bar brawler and that is why people could relate to him and why he is loved in the US of A.
Dynamite is on tonight, broadcast starts at 8pm but most likely the first fight won't start until at least 8:30. I've got nothing scheduled for NYE so I'll most likely watch. Can't wait to watch the spectacle of the Reem vs Duffee, Kawajiri vs Thomson should be really good too. Other fights include Fernandes/Takaya for the FW title, Sakuraba hopefully not being killed against Zaromskis, Ishii/JLB, Aoki fighting in a first round K-1/second round MMA fight, Mousasi against the K-1 HW champ in a K-1 fight, Kharitonov/Mizuno and the traditional Bob Sapp freakshow appearance.
I was just being a dick. He deserves all the success he's had and he's a cool bloke.
Hate these NYE cards in Japan. By the time it really gets going it'll be after 9pm and I won't even know where I am. If they showed it on bloody Main Event that would help.
Looking forward to seeing the Dynamite show, hopefully it's up later tonight so I can get it and watch tomorrow. Great card, and those crazy Japanese love a spectacle so I'm expecting about a 5 hour long show.
At least Dynamite is a mere 15 fights, Sengoku's card yesterday was nearly double that.
Damn, looks like the Sapp freakshow fight has fallen apart at the last hour.

Quick payday for Duffee.

Will we ever get to see Overeem fight a legitimate challenger? Maybe he'll fight Werdum some day. I think Fedor's management are going to keep dodging him. Actually, I think he's more likely to join the UFC than fight Fedor although both probably won't happen.

You are correct.
Brock and Dos Santos are coaching TUF this season.
Dana also said Aldo vs Hominick on 129 if Hominick gets past Roop next weekend and doesn't get injured.

YES! This will be awesome.
I think I read somewhere that Dos Santos wanted another fight anyway considering Cain will be out for a long time so that's cool.
It'll be good to see a different side of Brock. Maybe he'll be a lot more humble as a coach. I don't think he'll be playing up the "bad guy" image too much because there's no real beef between him and Dos Santos who doesn't speak great English anyway.
Hopefully Dos Santos gets some of the Black House guys on his team.
Also, Dos Santos via KO round 1

thiago vs rampage is what im looking forward to most, brutality 101 right there, the staredown will be the most intense we've ever seen. tiny bit worried for thiago though, although he did fight very smart against vera.
I like the JDS / Brock fight, but not as TUF. I guess it will make a shit load of cash though which is what the UFC want to get out of Lesnar. He's there biggest cash cow.
Good for Brock to keep taking on strong opposition too. It will be a pretty tough fight unless Brock can blanket JDS for 15 minutes, good chance he'll be KO'd though.
Should be interesting but don't really want to wait 6 months for it. Not sure how Lesnar will go as a 'coach' considering how green he is... can't be worse than Rampage though

Seems a bit of a unnecessary risk for JDS. Could easily go either way and if he follows up with another loss JDS could see himself a fair way off another title shot.
