Alvarez and Kawajiri have very similar skillsets to Melendez yet Aoki was able to sub both of them in the first round. I think the cage and slightly different rules (no butt-scooting) were the deciding factors in their fight. I'm not a blind fanboy but I think a rematch in Dream would have a...

Rewatching the Penn/Edgar fight, I give rounds 1, 2 and 3 to Penn. Round 4 was close but I'm leaning towards Edgar and he had round 5. I'm not really fussed about the decision though. About Rampage/Evans, I think Rampage should win as he has all the tools but he may not be there mentally. If...

I gave Edgar rounds 3, 4 and 5 but disagree with 50/45 in his favour. I thought it was either 48/47 Edgar, 48/48 or 48/47 Penn. Penn didn't seem to have a sense of urgency in the later rounds, it may have been because he thought he was winning but may have been because he gassed. I was surprised...

I don't know much about it but isn't mmacore supposed to be riddled with viruses? UFC 111 soon. It looks like a great card although Fitch/Saunders was unexpected. While I expect Fitch to outgrapple Saunders to a win, it'd be nice to see a Saunders victory.

Plus "The Korean Zombie" is a pretty cool nickname. Speaking of Sengoku, Sandro vs Kanehara for the FW title. It should be a pretty cool match. I always seem to forget how great the FW division is in Sengoku.

So... UFC 109 was pretty good.

I've only read a couple of books by James Patterson and both were Alex Cross. Badly written and just not entertaining.

Yeah, Strikeforce was great. I expected Mousasi to win but the victory was amazing. Definitely top 10 in Middleweight (if he goes back) and Light Heavyweight. Werdum looked good as well. It was nice to see that he lost all the fat from the Dos Santos fight. I was shocked with how many people...

The battle was good but I thought the comments were a bit lacking.

Re-read my post. I said the competition outside the UFC was the same level as inside. I did not describe it as stiff. If you have two short guys and say one is just as tall as the other, it does not mean that you think either is particularly tall. Overeem is big, he has incredible striking and...

I didn't say that Mir was a threat to Fedor. If we're going to go about it that way, the list of people to fight would be tiny. I listed Mir because he is one of the top heavyweights in the UFC and a matchup between the two is one of the few fights that people wouldn't consider to be Feodr vs a...

The 5mil thing was proven to be just a rumor. Fedor fighting cans outside of the UFC as opposed to fighting world-class people inside? There's Lesnar, Carwin, Mir, Couture and perhaps Dos Santos and Cain V in the future to fight within the UFC. Outside there's Overeem, Rogers (he has proven...

Rothwell/Gormley at UFC 104 Mousasi/Babalu at Carano vs Cyborg Jay Hieron will probably fight Diaz at Carano vs Cyborg Fedor in talks with the UFC It seems some of the Affliction fighters will be fighting soon or are in the process of arranging a fight.

Thanks for that, Heartbreak. I've ordered A History of Western Philosophy. I've seen some books by the other people you recommended at my local library and online and I'll probably read them after I finish AHoWP. I've wanted to get into philosophy for a while but I was always unsure about where...

Can someone recommend a few introductory-level logic and/or philosophy books?
