This match will be my Bathroom and beer Break
oops, its a prelim… phew
ahh com’on Ryan you arent super pumped for this wonderful contest??? i will take the Bodog guy, i think Antoni will find a way to lose, yet he did beat Eddie Sanchez soo watch out now
Yea, Hardonk Just doesnt interest me. I was at both UFC 80 and 85 where he fought and I was pleased with him, but he just uses valuable space in my brain that could be used for more important things!… like Ken and Frank going at it! joke.
I was impressed with his KO at UFC80 and I was ecstatic that he beat Sanchez. I hate that guy. But for me, A fighter has to have 1 of 2 things. Either a dominating and exciting style or a great personality/character. Sadly Antoni has neither in my opinion.
I thought they were going to keep him on the UK cards but thank god/allah/buddah/tom cruise that this one will be for you guys! lol
Ryan I gladly accept the gift of Antoni that u have soo graciously given to us over here… I do agree with u (wow) that he doesn’t have a entertaing style nor a personality that I can get behind in any aspect, yet he is good enough to be in the UFC o wait so is Sanchez owell, atleast its prelims and if something great happens we will probably be able to see it at the end of the PPV
