Just mis-understood. I'm a huge fan but I am in the minority. They both train and coach kids for next to nothing in their home town and are not well trained in media and tend to not behave in the correct manner and say dum shit.
I have followed their careers closely and really like them but they are like porcupines and can be real pricks :D

The Diaz brothers can be idiots, but they are good for the sport as they make it interesting. Never dull when they are involved.

Hall was disappointing in the TUF final, but I'm sure we'll see him again. Great effort by the last-picked guy to win the tournament. Another entertaining women's match, that's 2 from 2.

The women are certainly winning me over after that bloodfest!

Thought the main event was a great back and forward fight, Faber keeps his unbeaten non title fight streak running.

Another big card this week Lightweight title on the line!

Benson Henderson Vs Gilbert Melendez
Should be a ripper fight, i think Benson is just to big for anyone in the lightweight division at the moment, seems to have gone up a notch since he got the strap
Frank Mir VS Daniel Cormier
I really hope Cormier can get the win here, Frank Mir is one of those people i hate for no reason in particular, I see Mir leaving with another broken arm to put on his mantle piece here
Nate Diaz Vs Josh Thomson
Really looking forward to this one, When thomson is on he is an absolute beast, Diaz looked fantastic in his fights leading up to the title fight as well, could be a great ground battle, i think Nate by UD
Matt Brown Vs Jordan Mein
Both of these guys on good winning streaks and a good performance here could really push them up the welterweight division, This one could end quickly, Matt Brown by KO
I'm kind of a big deal, people know me

Cormier fought a good gameplan to get the win, an excruciatingly boring gameplan, but a successful one none the less. Mir didn't do enough to avoid the grapple either, just as frustrating. Great card and prelims, main event was a cracker, could of gone either way but I thought Hendo won it.

Really good show with an excellent main event. Lots of quick knockouts in the Prelims. That's the closest I've seen a Henderson fight, not surprised about the split decision. Would love to see a rematch!

Rematch at Lightweight? Who would have guessed.

Thought Melendez did enough to get the victory, but you tend to have to be convincing to take the belt from a champ.

Melendez should have gone harder at the end, probably would have made the difference in Round 5.

There are rumours of a Australia vs Canada TUF series coming up. Hopefully George Sotiropoulos isn't the Aussie coach this time.

Another big-hyped but disappointing main event. The stoppage was probably a bit early but in the position he was in Sonnen would have continued to get his head cracked if the ref didn't stop it. Would have had a new champ if he made it through the round!

How good would a Anderson Silva vs Jones superfight be?!
