the preliminaries
seems like they have spots for certain character "types." like they'll have 2 guys who are kinda similar in some aspect and then match em up so that only 1 of those "types" ends up in the house.
eg, they had juni fight aguilar for the raging douchebag spot.
eg, they had nover fight duarte for the asian/islander striker spot.
i have no problem with that. i'm just sayin.
phillipe nover
find nover between 18:21 - 25:14
there's speculation in the mma world that dana was referring to nover when he said this season has a "24 year old lightweight anderson silva."
its possible. the guy doesnt remind me of silva during his prelim fight. but i will say that his attacks on the feet and the ground are clean and he's game from beginning to end. i'd have to see more, but its prbly him.

unrelated: last nights ufc
if i had bet, i wouldve made $1.20 on the dollar off the alves/koscheck fight. the oddsmakers putting alves at underdog really had it all wrong. he's a top contender for sure. only no one (except me) realized it till last night. the only way his showing couldve been better was if alves scored a ko. regardless, alves fucking rocked koscheck all night and it was glorious every single time.
unrelated: tuf 9 tryouts
a couple changes. for one, they switched it to ww and lw. for another, they are looking for a higher caliber of competitor. they are requiring all candidates to have at least 3 pro fights under their belts. so i guess the days of the jason thackers and wayne weems and eli whatshisnames ending up on the show are over. haha.
