Greetings, fellow users. This is the 4th entry of my Strider Personal Journal and it's something to report on. Firstly, the results of UFC 106. I wasn't able to watch it, but i was however able to get info on the results of it. From the looks of things overall, the show itself wasn't too bad, and i'll post the full details in a bit. Next, Thanksgiving. It's nearly that time of year for most of us here. Officially, Thanksgiving is announced as a time to give thanks, but just between you and me, i'm not really supportive of that holiday. That's due namely to the fact that i'm part Native-American{and so are the other members of my family for that matter, but that's another story}. If anyone followed the early history of Thanksgiving, then you'll see why. :X Anyway, that's this Thursday coming up. Finally, there's Modern Warfare 2. I've picked it up a few days back and played it all the way through, and all i'll say about is it's quite good. I didn't like how the story went past the halfway point of the game, but it's still pretty good though. In addition to MW2, I've also played Tekken 6 as well, and all i'll say about it is, it's not as good as Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution and SFIV but at least it's better than KOF XII{and that's saying something, believe me}. Oh, i almost forgot, i've ordered the SF20 artbook not long ago, and should get it by the middle of the week. The SF20 artbook is a collection of official artwork from Capcom's former and persent artists, it even includes some art from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom as well as some never-before-seen artwork. I'll post a review of it later this week. In any case, this pretty much sums it up for me for right now. One other thing, i'll get some more fanarts and official artwork uploaded again for this week, and i'm still open for picture requests. Therefore, if you wany any specfic pictures uploaded, just ask. :) Here are the full results as promised, feel free to comment on it. ;) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}

Previously announced match-ups of John Howard vs. Dennis Hallman and Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida were moved to The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights Finale and UFC 107 respectively.

Tom Lawlor was originally scheduled to fight at UFC 106 but he was moved to UFC Fight Night: Maynard vs. Diaz.

Tito Ortiz was originally scheduled to fight Mark Coleman; however, on October 5, 2009, the fight was cancelled as Coleman was suffering from a knee injury. UFC confirmed that Forrest Griffin would step in to face Ortiz.

Jon Fitch was originally set to fight Ricardo Almeida but Almeida was forced off the card with a knee injury. Fitch was moved to the UFC 107 card to fight Mike Pierce.

On October 26, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar pulled out of his fight against Shane Carwin due to an illness that has kept him from training for several weeks. The UFC therefore had the Ortiz v. Griffin fight headline the UFC 106 card.

Dana White confirmed on November 19, that Karo Parisyan had pulled out of his fight against Dustin Hazelett for undisclosed reasons. Hazelett was paid his full purse including show and win. As a result, the fight between Paulo Thiago and Jacob Volkmann was promoted to the main card.

Four of the fights on the preliminary card were shown on Spike TV.

Greetings fellow users. First off, the results of UFC 105: For those of you who weren't able to see it, i'll give you the short story. It was pretty good for the most part, in fact there wasn't a boring fight on it. Randy Couture showed everyone he can still hang with the big boys, Dan Hardy is GSP's next likely challenger to his belt, and Michael Bisping is back to top form and is also back in the rankings, among other things. All-in-all, not a bad showing. On to the personal side things: it's pretty warm from where i'm at here in South Jersey, so warm that it's something i'd like to call Indian Summer, this period of weather happens between the middle of October and near the end of November. I'm more of a Winter guy, but i can enjoy this for the time being. :) Anyway, there's one other thing, i'm looking for more pictures and fanart to upload, only this however, i'm getting more based on just about every major Capcom game series to date, including some based on classic Capcom games also. If you want some uploaded, be sure to ask. ;) Anyway, here's the full results for UFC 105 as promised. Feel free to comment here. :) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}

A bout between Antônio Rogério Nogueira and Luiz Arthur Cane was moved to UFC 106. Dong Hyun Kim was forced to pull out of his bout with Dan Hardy due to an injury. He was replaced by Mike Swick.

The winner of Mike Swick vs. Dan Hardy is said to receive a title shot at Georges St. Pierre in early 2010. A previously announced bout between Peter Sobotta and DaMarques Johnson was cancelled due to a military commitment for Sobotta.
