Damn I thought Jimmy would do good against Barnett

Yeah, I thought it would have lasted a little longer myself.

That pic of Abriz is so ****ing sic! Take those tittie rins out! Props to Barnett in beating the big man, I kne he would jsut not so fast. I hope both these guys move into Pride.

I think it was a work. (Barnett/Ambriz)

Man, I knew Josh would win, but I thought it would be more of a fight than that.

And it wasn't a work.....

Looked pretty real from the pictures I've seen on the net.
