Thanks for posting the transcripts. I generally like this format rather than having to watch the full 6 minutes or whatever. I guess Mayhem is an exception because you get more from him than others in a video because he’s such a character. I think he’s great, I realize everybody’s different but Mayhem is funny and unusual. To me it seems that people that don’t like him just don’t appreciate humour.

The card is a bit predictable. Miller’s standup, while better than Shields’ isn’t much better. Miller will have some size but not enough to overcome Shields grappling control. No way Shields subs Miller though. If Jacare couldn’t do it, Shields can’t either. Shields by decision, not as dominating a decision as GSP put on him tho.

Haha…”He just goes this like this (mouth open) and then I talk for him.”

Mayhem is always great, hopefully he can pull it off on Saturday.

Mr. Roadblock must be old enough to stay at home by himself. I am too, because I find him very lame as well.

I don’t see this fight even being competitive. Miller is not a great striker so he won’t be threatening Shields with that. And Shields is a better grappler. The only thing I think could hurt this fight is Miller’s ability to not get finished… Which means it could be 5 rounds. Personally, I’m hoping Shields is good enough to tap him.

On a side note (but still referring to this card)…. Sherdog asked the “pro’s” to pick the winner of Fedor vs. Rogers. It was 27-4 in favor of Fedor. One of the 4 who picked Rogers was Pete Sell…

Chael Sonnen staying as a company man, didn’t pick, and instead said this: “Two fatties swinging like bums. Yawn, stretch, back to sleep.”

To me… The problem with this card is not the talent. It has a lot of good talent. All 8 fights on the main card are solid fighters. The problem is the match-ups. Obviously anybody can win, but outside of Werdum/Silva, all the fights have a heavy heavy favorite who is easy to predict as the winner. That doesn’t make for a good card in my opinion. I personally like to see more fights that are hard to pick. Makes it interesting.

Am I the only one that thinks Mayhem’s gimmick is lame? I cannot stand that guy. Nor do I see his appeal to anyone over the age of 13 or so.

Thank you for these transcripts. I very much prefer interviews in this format, rather than video or audio.
