So. Much. Power.

Pretty surprised Overeem won this one. JDS, oh how the mighty have fallen. Ohhhhhh deaaaaaar.

lol Overeem's been on a roll... no reason to think it'd stop with JDS this time around.

[The Rocketmen]

I just dealt dos Santos too, hopefully Ferocity will pay more attention to him than I did.

[The Sandmen]

Yes

[xx - Team GAP]

don't think he should need much though to get him back winning

lol You'd think that, but you never know... for me, it took 15 points, to this point, to get Brock recovered back to his more winning ways, but 20 points in to Alexis Davis hasn't changed her all that much. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Though with Ferocity, JDS has a better chance since she seems to be able to pick the "right upgrades" fairly quickly.

[The Rocketmen]

Also, she might not put points into obscure stats or complain that after putting points into a fighter they aren't the king or queen of the hive. All I'm saying is that honey is odd because it never goes bad. No expiration dates on honey.

[xx - Team GAP]

but honey is bee vomit

[The Rocketmen]

Is it? I thought it was poop for some reason. Regardless, it is legit the only food that never goes bad.

That might also have to do with the gap between the top and mid-tier fighters in both of those weight classes though. Or maybe not. Who the darn knows.

Try pasting some all over your kitchen counter and coming back in a week. It's tastes pretty bad...

[The Rocketmen]

I'll take your word for it (side note: who does that?)

[The Sandmen]

Mirko Cro Cop lurks in the shadows. He steps forward, hand raised slightly. Everyone stares at him. He slinks back into the shadows, and disappears.

[The Rocketmen]

...so does the honey.

[The Sandmen]

...weird.
