| " | I hope Robert Emerson wins. He will be one of the funniest to watch and has already fought Melvin Gullard where Melvin cried and told him to STOP during the figh when Robetr was beating him. Dumb Robert thought the ref stopped it too thinking it was a verbal tap out but the ref never stopped it and he eneded up loosing a split decission where the crowd boooos were aggressive. He also took TUF coach Jens Pulver to a decission! |
I can’t wait until this starts, and the finale fight should be awesome.
