Shot in the arm? Kuwait baby!

[Zhoozhitsu]

Let's get the ball rolling ladies. This forum is sinkin' fast!

Jesus! How come nobody's talking about the new NHB event in Kuwait? W/ Liborio!

Kareem Allah
Matt Hughes
Dave Menne
Pele
Carlos Newton
Ricardo Liborio
Khared Mubarak
TBA

I predict the following people will not amount to sh*t:

Kareem Allah, Khared Mubarak, TBA

[EJ]

I predict Allah to win the whole f*cken thing!!!!


GO KAREEM!!!!

ALLAH AKBAR!

Admiral Ackbar?!?!?!?!?!
He's entering NHB?
"ITS A TRAP!"


In truth, I can't wait for Pele and Menne to rematch, if it to happen.
I just hope Liborio doesn't draw someone like:
Hughes
Menne
Pele
Carlos
In the first round.
Menne would stall to a victory, and the others would show him NHb isn't sport. I hope we get to see Liborio break the NHB ice against alesser opponent.
here are the 1st round matchups i'd like to see happen:

Liborio vs. Khared
Menne vs. Newton
Hughes vs. Allah
Pele vs. ?

And in the second I'd see:
Hughes vs. Newton
Pele vs. Liborio.

Finals:
Pele vs. Hughes

I find this thread offensive and anti Muslim/Arab. (what? They don’t drink? They stone people for infidelity? They’re anti thong? ) OK screw them. We can take them and Canada out over the course of a three day weekend. God bless America!

Yea... but just don't ask me to go over there.

I will be sippen a margarita in Mexico if the shit hit the fan.

What are the sizes of these guys?

I had the impression that Liborio is a pretty decent guy and usually competes at about 190 lbs? Wouldnt this make him much bigger than Pele? or Hughes?

This might be Liborio's first NHB tournament (ever?) but his relative size must help some, especially against guys that he needs to take down like Pele.

Cripes, I had a thread about this before the 4-day Mousel's meltdown that just happened--just when the forum was picking up some momentum again too. It NEEDS a shot in the arm.

Eazy-E, Liborio walks around at about 84kg (185) pounds. This really isn't any heavier than Hughes or Pele, who have to cut pretty hard to get to 170 and 175, respectively, and walk around in the 180-185 range. I like this weight class, and wish the UFC would adopt is as well.

According to Liborio, he will be fighting in an NHB event in Japan in December, 2 months before the Kuwaiti tournament, so this won't technically be his debut. Agreed with McLeod that a Pele-Hughes final is most likely.
