Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The prized prospect. Current light heavyweight contender Brandon Vera has been one before - 4-0 as a pro and a rookie with plenty of expectations placed on his shoulders even before he stepped into the UFC's Octagon for the first time. It's a situation few can fathom, simply because few have been in those shoes.

Everything Was Going So Well Up to This Point…

By now we've all had a chance to see how we fared in our individual FightPicker pools, and then follow that up with the appropriate amount of gloating/sobbing at the sight of the overall standings. I'll admit that I wasn't feeling too great about finishing third in my pool, but hey, that's what I get for thinking Nick Diaz and Marius Zaromskis would take longer than a round to reach that level of reckless abandon. Third felt acceptable. It felt almost dignified. Then my wife pointed out that she beat me. By a lot. And not only did she win her pool, she’s tied for first overall.
I spent the next several hours sitting alone in a dark room, feeling bad about myself and reevaluating some life choices. If only Melvin Manhoef hadn’t gotten quite so overeager, I kept telling myself, things might have been different. But that’s not the way it worked out, thanks to Robbie Lawler’s Hail Mary right hook, and now I get to hear about it for the rest of my life. Or until I redeem myself with UFC 109.

The Sunday Junkie: Jan. 31 edition
January 31st, 2010
"Strikeforce: Miami" is in the books, and the action-packed evening was the source of many discussion topics.Are Bobby Lashley and Herschel Walker legitimate mixed martial artists? What's next for the biggest star in women's mixed martial arts? Is Strikeforce emerging as a legitimate contender for the UFC's crown?
This week's edition of The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com's weekly reader-feedback feature, touched on all of these topics and more, but the winning entry, from Andrew "vice" Walter, argued that new welterweight champion Nick Diaz is rapidly establishing himself as one of the sport's most complete fighters.
