googling nostalgia...........brb

[Luke]

a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition; also : something that evokes nostalgia

[SPX]

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson.

Me, motherfucker!

You apparently don't have a nostalgic bone in your body. I'm pretty sure the left half of my rib cage is made of nostalgia.

Like I said, who the fuck would pay to watch that shit?

[zY|]

And yes, I get nostalgic about everything. I'm just being realistic.

[SPX]

Realistic how? A lot of these guys are still fighting anyway. Shamrock is still fighting. Severn either IS still fighting or just retired like last year. Coleman would gladly come back for a paycheck, no doubt. Oleg was active until just a year or two ago. Gary Goodridge still fights.

I don't see how it's unrealistic. Other sports do it.

[Luke]

FWIW Dan Severn just fought last weekend

[zY|]

Because the nostalgia doesn't line up with reality. It never does. It's right there in the definition.

It would just be a bunch of fat, shitty old dudes fighting some really bad MMA, and that's not the UFC's business.

[SPX]

Probably so, but I just think it would be cool to see them do their thing again.

I mean, maybe Shamrock wouldn't get crushed if he was fighting older guys.

Severn is still pretty good... He hasn't lost since 2009, is 10-0 in his last 10 and 28-3 going back to 2006. He fights every month, he has 5 fights already for 2011. Severn would absolutely murder Royce. I really don't want to see Royce in there at all.

2u on Shogun at -175

[MMA_scientist]

I am surprised that Silva is -415 again after the Sonnen thing. I would probably make a play on Okami if this wasn't in Brazil. Anyone know how that is going o work? Are they bringing the judges with them or are they going to use Brazilian judges?

[poopoo333]

I am sure they will bring judges with them like always

[MMA_scientist]

I am sure they will bring judges with them like always

What do you mean? When they go to the UK, they have some UK judges. I don't know about Canada and Australia though...
