UFC discussion thread!

[spanky49]

Anyone else out there?
Damn, I'm looking forward to Ortiz vs. Shamrock II in Vegas this July.
Should be an awesome fight. Get another great Sylvia vs. Arlovski fight too.:004:

[sandler]

yup, iam a big fan of ufc and pride. mma is just far too exciting compared to boxing.

any of you guys train mma or jiujitsu?

[pholmeskc31]

I like the UFC. Tonight i'll be watching the Ultimate Fighter for the 2nd round matches. I like boxing more though.

[LCAWC]

I'm a big MMA fan, and UFC's next PPV is sounding like one of their best in awhile. I still prefer PRIDE to UFC, but UFC has some pretty good PPVs every now and then. The Ultimate Fighter is a good show too, I'm intrigued by the concept of the fourth season: using established fighters that never made it to the spotlight a chance to prove themselves in the eyes of MMA fans and fighters worldwide.

Its the third seasom right now. Or are u referring to what they are gonna do when they start season 4?

[gotti911]

they need to cut the informercial crap on PPV and TUF

on the last PPV Joe Rogan had to say "Mickey the official beer of the UFC" everytime he interviews the post fight on the replay

[armanisuit]

I am a fan of UFC and Pride. As for the upcoming fight, Sylvia-Arlovski should be good, but I think Ken Shamrock should really retire already.

[Cowboy From Hell]

I am a fan of UFC and Pride. As for the upcoming fight, Sylvia-Arlovski should be good, but I think Ken Shamrock should really retire already.
He probally will after this one, whether he wants to or not.
I hope Arlovski will finish this one quickly and get back the belt.
Also looking forward to Frank Mir's fight.

[leglova]

i bet no one has had drinks with a UFC fighter before =P
when i was vacationing in hawaii last summer i met one, forgot his name cuz i was totally bombed on sake haha

[pholmeskc31]

I am a fan of UFC and Pride. As for the upcoming fight, Sylvia-Arlovski should be good, but I think Ken Shamrock should really retire already.
I hope Arlovski kicks his ass. I hope Shamrock wins his fight with Tito and then retire win or lose. I hate Ortiz hes a fucking faggot who needs another good beating like he got from The Iceman.:024:

[Welsh Maximus]

Agreeing with you on the first two calls,I don`t rate Sylvia at all and the UFC definately needs Arlovski back in the throne to give themselves some Heavweight credibity.
Quite like the look of Brandon Vera right now too,he could just pull off his very bold prediction of simultaneously holding the HW and LHW titles over the next year or so.

I want Shamrock to win too but I`ve really warmed to Tito via TUF3,dude`s a premiere coach and his undying enthusiasm for the sport has come across really well during that show.


One guy I would simply love to see back in UFC is Frank Shamrock :016:
I`m guessing he must have had a fallin out with Dana and his crew but:
Shamrock v Hughes
Shamrock v Franklin
How fuckin cool would they be! http://img46.exs.cx/img46/5277/fuckinawesome.gif

[armanisuit]

Quite like the look of Brandon Vera right now too,he could just pull off his very bold prediction of simultaneously holding the HW and LHW titles over the next year or so.


I agree, he's been impressive in his last string of fights not just with knockouts but also that last one with a submission. It would be interesting to see how he can do against the monsters in that weightclass.

[Welsh Maximus]

Dude`s fun to watch post fight too :004:

[pholmeskc31]

I havent warmed up to him but if i was in the UFC i'd train with him if i was asked.

[Cowboy From Hell]

I hate Ortiz hes a fucking faggot who needs another good beating like he got from The Iceman.:024:

Can't say I like the way he runs his mouth, but you got to respect his skills.

I love how the haters always use the Liddell fight to put the man down. But aside from the stoppage in his fight with Frank Shamrock, Chuck gave him his only real beating.

[kevdude82]

I love UFC! I really got into it when Ultimate Fighter and other UFC shows started on SpikeTV. I don't like reality shows, but Ultimate Fighter is friggin' sweet!

I don't think Shamrock has it in him anymore, but we'll see. He just seems to of lost too many steps leading up to the rematch.

[pholmeskc31]

Can't say I like the way he runs his mouth, but you got to respect his skills.
I do respect him other wise i wouldnt of commented on how if i was training to be in the UFC i would take him as a trainer if i could. I respect all athletes but doesnt mean i cant dilike em.

[armanisuit]

I only watch that show every so often, but its pretty good. BUT wtf was that one episode with the 2 guys having a suds fight - GAY!!!

[LCAWC]

Its the third seasom right now. Or are u referring to what they are gonna do when they start season 4?

Yeah, I mean season 4, that's gonna be the gimmick behind it.

Also, about Frank Shamrock, he didn't have a falling out with UFC. HE just got to a point where he kicked everyone's ass, all over the world, and figured he had nothing left to prove so he retired. He came out of retirement a couple months ago and KO'd Cesar Gracie in 21 seconds, so yeah, he's still awesome. I really doubt he'll fight in UFC again, unless they pay him top dollar (something UFC fails to do with a lot of their top fighters). I could see him fighting in PRIDE, but I think the chance of that is still slim.

[sandler]

rumor has it that ufc paid royce 1.5 million dollars to fight hughes. maybe they could do the same for frank, hehehe.

the best fighters for me though are the ones in pride. fedor is just unbelievable and minotauros submission skills are just freaking awesome! vanderlei would whoop on tito's ass if they fought in pride. thing is, pride pays fighters more than the ufc. in japan, these fighters are celebrities!

i hung out with bj penn a few years ago when he visited our gym. cool guy.

[zbeast78]

i don't follow UFC too heavily, but i did go to a good UFC match a few years ago in Atlantic City. The main fight was Ortiz vs. Evan Tanner, and needless to say Tanner got the living shit beat out of him. The funniest part to us was when Tanner was literally being lifted onto a stretcher to be taken out of the octagon, and Tito Ortiz was doing the "gravedigger". that's some cold hearted shit right there.

[armanisuit]

Are you guys familar with the WFA? World Fighting Alliance. www.wfa.tv/index.php

they seem to have signed some ex- Pride/UFC Talent
Quintion "Rampage" Jackson
Ricco Rodriguez
Vernon White
Kimo Leopoldo
are just a few names I recognized.

Never seen a bout, it'll be interesting to see how they do.

[Welsh Maximus]

I was hoping "Rampage" would sign for the UFC and we`d get to see a rematch with Chuck...kiss that one goodbye now.

[pholmeskc31]

I was hoping "Rampage" would sign for the UFC and we`d get to see a rematch with Chuck...kiss that one goodbye now.
Yea that would of been nice. Love to see that fight.

[Cowboy From Hell]

At the ppv that's coming up for the WFA Bas Rutten will be making his comeback against Kimo. As good as El Guapo is, I believe I might have picked an easier fight.

[Welsh Maximus]

Just checked that WFA link,they have signed some good fighters,included amongst is former Heavyweight boxing contender Jeremy Williams whose kicking off his MMA career with them...been interesting to see how he goes,but he`s an always been an arrogant twat so I hope he gets himself a bit of a pasting :010:

And holy fatass!...I see Ricco Rodriguez has been tucking himself into some Burgers `n fries :031:
Kimo suddenly looks very old too,I see Bas with a KO win there.

[armanisuit]

And yet another MMA League :
International Fight Leage
http://www.ifl.tv

This must be good for the fighters, but if there's too many leagues, I think the over-saturation can backfire.

Difference in this one is that it is a team format.

some notable names in the coaches of different teams:

Bas Rutten coach of the Anacondas
Renzo Gracie coach of the Pitbulls
Pat Miletich coach of the Silverbacks

i think the IFL's first season just got concluded a few days ago. pat militich's team won. this guy is a great coach and trainer. i dont like him as a fighter tho kinda boring.

the new coaches for the next season are carlos newton, matt lindland, mark coleman and antonio inoki. theres also going to be a match between renzo gracie and pat militich. renzo has been on a downward track in the last few years tho.....

[fartman23]

I'm not much of a UFC fan, but I was listening to a radio interview with Rudy Seanez of the Red Sox a few days ago (he's a quasi-mediocre middle reliever who's bounced around MLB for years), and he said his offseason training now consists entirely of UFC training. And if you look at the guy, he *is* a barrel-chested dude. He says he goes at it hard, but has it written into his MLB contract that he's not actually allowed to fight...he spars a little bit, but otherwise it's just the same strength/endurance training UFC regulars do. Sounded intense...as you can well imagine....

[armanisuit]

Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida


anyone know this guy? seen him fight? I heard he beat he gave Rich Franklin his only loss and has beaten BJ Penn. so far (I believe) he has an unbeaten record in MMA. This guy worth watching? i think he has joined the WFA.

[Dark Genesis]

I'd take PRIDE fighters over UFC any day. Fedor best fighter in the world

Never seen him fight,but you can`t argue with that CV so far :079:

[wangz0r]

i've recently gotten into it...it's still somewhat primitive in my opinion

[sandler]

have any of you guys tried training jiujitsu or mma? i think you'll have a better understanding of the sport if you do. grappling is so much more complicated than what it looks. thats why i hate it when people start booing the moment the fight hits the ground. there's a lot of technique involved but the majority public just dont know it.

[spanky49]

Another episode of TUF tonight on Spike TV!
Looks like Dana White is setting up a good fight card the the final episode.

[pholmeskc31]

I think theres two new episodes of the UF tonight. I checked the guide and two show were listed and it said both are new. That would be sweet if there really is two new shows.

[pholmeskc31]

Josh Haynes, Ed Herman and Michael Bisping move onto the finals. They were alright fights. I thought Bisping had the best finish of any fight this season. He came out of nowhere just like he said with a flying knee and caught Ross and then finished him up with some nice shots and a couple more knees to the head before the ref stopped the fight. Jun. 24th is the finals.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Ken Shamrock ---- the O.G. of UFC. I'm a big fan of his fighting, but I think he sucks as a coach.

Tito Ortiz --- He's come a long way from the punk kid who was looking up to Tank Abbott as his mentor some years back. He's a better coach than Shamrock, but I'd love to see Shamrock wipe the floor with him. Even it was nothing but a grudge match.

[pholmeskc31]

Same thing here. Fuck Ortiz anyways. I want to see Shamrock win also but after waht happened in their first match people have doubts that Ken can win. I have a feeling we might see the same thing happen which i hope not. Like pez Dana White said i think Shamrock was their mainly cause he was gonna end up fighting Ortiz anyways.

[sandler]

ken is too old for tito. not to disrespect ken, but he's past his prime. tito is in his prime so im almost sure that tito would just whoop ken's ass again. but theres always that lucky punch so you cant really count ken out if tito aint careful.

id love to see ken vs tank tho. both have big mouths and both claim theyd beat the other one up. thats a better match for ken than tito.

[pholmeskc31]

I would say Ken is past his prime. Tito is kinda passed his also he looked way better than he does today.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Ken needs to start pushing TITO'S buttons, and get him all hot and bothered.
I'm amamzed that Tito can simply look or smirk at Shamrock and make him go off. Ken needs to turn those tables, and make Tito lose HIS cool.:004:

Alas, I agree that Ken is probably passed his prime. He could still be a bad mofo, id he's in his zone. He's not THAT old!

[sandler]

yeah, ken just gets crazy whenever tito does one of his antics to piss ken off. its funny!

i was watching a ufc special about tank a few days ago. man, that guy just doesnt take losing very well. he was clearly owned by vitor but still doesnt wanna give credit to him. in case he forgot, he shook vitor's hand after that match. i think that the only fighter he shook hands with after a fight. tank would die if he fought guys like rampage or vanderlei. better yet, he should fight tito to prove once and for all who the huntington beach bad boy really is!

[Cowboy From Hell]

I read a few days ago that Tank may be fighting soon. it seemed that Bill Goldberg (from WCW) has signed with the WFA and had shown interest in fighting Tank. How true this is I'm not sure, but that would be pretty interesting if it came to be.

[pholmeskc31]

The Ultimate Finale is tonight i hope it kicks ass.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Here's the card for tonights event.
Main event:

Kennny "Ken Flow" Florian Vs Sam Stout

undercard

Keith Jardine vs. Wilson Gouveia
I hope Jardine wins this one after getting screwed over in his last fight versus Bonnar.

Light Heavyweight Finals

Josh "bring the pain" Haynes Vs. Mike Bisbing
Middle Weight Finals

- Kendal Grove vs Ed "shortfuse" Herman

I don't think these will be televised.
-Matt Hamill vs. Jesse Forbes
-Kalib Starnes vs. Danny Abaddi
-Rory Singer vs. Ross Pointon
-Solomon Hutcherson vs. Luigi Fioravanti
-Mike Nickels vs. Wes Combs

[pholmeskc31]

those fight u mentoined that wont be televised a few could be. i remember on the other seasons some of the fighters that didnt make the finals im pretty sure some of them did end up fighting,

[Cowboy From Hell]

Usually if some of the televised fights end quickly they'll throw a few of the blacked out fights on. My guide is listing the show from 9 to 12, so there should be plenty of time.
But they just announced they're inducting Couture into the Hall of Fame, so God knows how long that'll take.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Here's the results of the non televised fights

1 Mike Nickels beats Wes Combs by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) in round 1 @3:10
2 Matt Hamill beats Jesse Forbes by TKO (Strikes) in round 1 @ 4:47
3 Luigi Fioravanti beats Solomon Hutcherson by KO (Punch) in round 1 @ 4:15
4 Kalib Starnes beats Danny Abaddi by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) in round 1 @ 2:56
5 Rory Singer beats Ross Pointon by Submission (Triangle Choke) in round 1 @ 0:44

First match from live finale.
6 Keith Jardine beats Wilson Gouveia by Decision (Unanimous)
7 Kendal Grove beats Ed Herman by Decision

[pholmeskc31]

Bisping won the other final fight which i was hoping. Kenny Florian won the sucky main event. I think Herman won that fight with Kendal especially when Herman was getting some good shots in the 3rd RD.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Ultimate Fight Night Live 5 is tomorrow night @ 8:00

Branden Lee Hinkle vs Jason Lambert

Rob MacDonald Vs. Kristian Rothaermel

Justin Levens Vs. Jorge Santiago

[pholmeskc31]

Hope Koscheck gets his ass handed to him. I fucking hate that guy.

[Cowboy From Hell]

A lot of people seem to have a problem with Koscheck. What's the deal?

I really don't have an opinion on him. Just curious as to why he's disliked.

[armanisuit]

Finally saw the replay on Spike, I'm glad they gave both Herman and Kendal contracts after a great back n forth fight. However I don't think either will be stars in MMA. Bisping had a great fight, I think he can have a pretty good career in the UFC.

[pholmeskc31]

Fair enough I guess.

[EdDaMan]

I'm a fan of MMA in general, the next UFC pay per view is a joke to me, I don't want to see Ken getting his ass kick again by Tito. Ken haven't won since UFC 48 where he beat up on an old Kimo, I really think Ken need to go back to the WWE where it's safe, LoL. I can really care less about Sylvia Vs. Arlovski III, the UFC couldn't find anyone else to challenge Sylvia so they give Arlovski a quick rematch. I can't believe the last UFC pay per view, Hughes Vs. Gracie, the UFC pay Royce 3 mil for the fight, they could have used that money to get more talent for the HW and LHW division, don't get me wrong the UFC have done great thing for the sport but I would really hope in the near future the UFC get better match up especially for their pay per view event. In my opinion PrideFC have the best HW division in the world, I am so glad that PrideFC will be having their first ever live event in the states this October (Las Vegas I think) and I'll bet that Dana White is scare to death of this man being exposed to the American public: http://fedor.bel.ru/video/randleman/Randleman_vs_Fedor.avi

[EdDaMan]

Anyone else catch UFN 5? Man, Anderson Silva is for real, I really hope Rich Franklin is really for this guy. Checkout what I found:

[pholmeskc31]

The Evans/Bonnar fight was a joke. Rashad sucked and he still won. Both sucked though.

[EdDaMan]

In case you didn't see "The Cat Smasher" got smash by "The Spider":

http://rapidshare.de/files/24431502/UFN.5.Anderson.Silva.vs.Chris.Leben.LQ.rar

[EdDaMan]

The Evans/Bonnar fight was a joke. Rashad sucked and he still won. Both sucked though.

Yeah, it was pretty much lay and pray for Evan, he could have finish the fight so many time, he could have mounted but he was scare of getting submitted.

[pholmeskc31]

Yeah, it was pretty much lay and pray for Evan, he could have finish the fight so many time, he could have mounted but he was scare of getting submitted.
I dont think that was the problem. He just doesnt have a good ground game. He knows how to get ya to the ground but there were times he should of took a side mount and he would of been able to probably get his first KO or stoppage. All his fights have gone to a decsion, doesnt know how to take anyone out yet. I mean he knows how, he just cant.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Rashad got a couple of good slams on Stephan, but once both were on the ground the fight really slowed down. But in Rashad's defense Sephan has good ground skills (he trained under Carlson Gracie) and everything he tried to throw on Rashad was defended.

Leben talked a whole lot of shit going into his fight, which made him look that much worse after the beating he recieved. Maybe Silva will get a match with Mike Swick next.

I could not believe Cummo gassed so quickly in his fight. But I was glad to see Goulet give a good showing. Most thought he was nothing after Ludwig got a KO @ 11sec. in their match, but Goulet was a seasoned fighter with some good victories who just got hit with a good shot.

And that was a sweet armbar Macdonald put on Christian.

From what i heard Rogan and that other commentator were praisinfg the shit out of Goulet.

[Cowboy From Hell]

From what i heard Rogan and that other commentator were praisinfg the shit out of Goulet.
They were. But after UFN 3, MMA Weekly and many other MMA forums were putting Goulet down for that loss. Everyone has their off days and that was his.
I have respect for anyone who steps into the cage, just being good enough to get that far win or lose is an accomplishment.

I dont see why people would. Some of the greats have gotten KO'd pretty quick. If that happened to him on a regular basis then i could see why.

[EdDaMan]

I really think that the Leben/Silva fight was a big wake up call for the UFC. They need to stop promoting these TUF's fighter as world class fighter. As evident look at the Ad for UF5 they all have picture of TUF's fighter but not a single one have Anderson Silva on it. I would think the casual TUF fan is starting notice the differences now, like my friend from work who don't watch alot of MMA so when he saw the Leben/Silva fight, he said man, Silva was on another level than Leben, Leben was just swinging for the fences and Silva just pick him apart. I think Mike Swick is fighting David "The Crow" Loiseau next, I'll bet that "The Crow" will elbow the shit out of Swick easily. The UFC and Dana White is probably very pissed off at Rashad Evan for beating Bonnar because they was hoping that Bonnar would win and they would have setup the rematch between him and Forrest. Bonnar vs. Griffin II could have been a very big pay day for the UFC but now I would think people would careless about the rematch.

Fight Card
Tim Sylvia vs Andrei Arlovski (HW)

Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock (205lbs)

Frank Mir vs Dan Christison (HW)

Josh Burkman vs Josh Neer (170lbs)

Joe Stevenson vs Yves Edwards (155lbs)

Drew Fickett vs. Kurt Pellegrino (170lbs)

Jeff Monson vs. Anthony Perosh (HW)
*If Monson wins he will get a title shot with the winner of Sylvia/Arlovski*

Gilbert Aldana vs. Cheick Kongo (HW)

Hermes Franca vs. Joe Jordan (155lbs)

[Cowboy From Hell]

I take Arlovski over Sylvia by TKO. But as much as I don't really care for Sylvia, I can see this one going either way.

Tito over Shamrock. Shamrock in my opinion can't go the distance and win against Tito, and he is not as fast as Tito either. But Ken hits hard so all it could take is one good shot in the early going of this fight to completely change the outcome.

Almost sure thing to bet on Mir over Christison. Hope he can work his way back to the top.

Burkman vs Neer. Flip a coin, there's alot of talent in this match on both sides.

Never seen Stevenson fight at 155, so I'll pick Edwards to be the victor in this one.

Drew Fickett by submission.

Monson will win his match by submission. But doesn't stand a chance against either Sylvia or Arlovski. Although it's hard to bet against any man with someone being executed tattooed on the back of his neck.

This is just my picks for this card.

[pholmeskc31]

I dont know whos gonna win but i want Arlovski and Shamrock. Im not gonna see this anyways unless i can find it posted on the net and i probably will.

[EdDaMan]

I'm not paying 40 buck to watch this crappy card, I'm going to watch it free live on the net via video stream =)

[pholmeskc31]

U never know these matches can turn out pretty great. Im waiting for some of the fights to hit the net though. Im not paying for any PPV of any sporting event, they rip ya off.

[Welsh Maximus]

I wouldn`t be $lashing out no $40 for any UFC PPV,so lucky me,I get all UFC shows for free on Bravo in the UK,albeit 24 hours later,as live,just gotta avoid the fight scene the next day so I don`t catch any spoilers :027:

That Chris Leben equivalent of a thumping of a mugging was fun btw :lol:


As for 61:
Arlovski TKO over Slyvia
Sylvia`s the worst HW champ they`ve ever had for me,don`t rate the dude at all.

Tito POINTS over Shamrock

Co-inciddently,the rest of my picks would go pretty much the same as the Cowboy`s up there^^^,with Josh Burkman Vs. Josh Neer the Scrap of the Night

[psychoegg]

Ya... Shamrock is going to be lights out within about 30 seconds in this match. He's gotta retire.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Ya... Shamrock is going to be lights out within about 30 seconds in this match. He's gotta retire.
I wouldn't say that (although I've been wrong before) Shamrock took some brutal punishment in the first meeting. I figure it will probally last at least one round. But who can say for sure.

[psychoegg]

I wouldn't say that (although I've been wrong before) Shamrock took some brutal punishment in the first meeting. I figure it will probally last at least one round. But who can say for sure.

I can't remember what the last fight I saw with Shamrock in it (it wasn't that long ago though) and he was all pumped about showing up whoever he was going against and got whooped royally in the first round. He didn't even know where he was after all was said and done. Don't get me wrong... the guy is a legend, but even legends need to walk away at some point.

[Welsh Maximus]

I can't remember what the last fight I saw with Shamrock in it (it wasn't that long ago though) and he was all pumped about showing up whoever he was going against and got whooped royally in the first round.
Probably against Sakuraba in Pride or perhaps Rich Franklin...both 1st round wallopings in last two fights :030:

Ya... I think that it was against Rich Franklin. Pretty freakin' ugly.

[Parker]

It's 1:45pm here, so about 7 hours I would think until Sham and Tito get it on. I'd really like to see Ken kick the crap out of Tito, but I did get a bit more respect for Tito when he brought in that sign langauge teacher on the Ultimate Fighter. That was pretty classy. But he's still a bit to cocky for me. I'm just glad that one of our local watering holes here gets the PPV stuff and doesn't charge a cover to see them. I just wish they had some drink specials...lol Anyway, the whole show should be pretty good. I hope!

[Cowboy From Hell]

Drew Fickett has beaten Kurt Pellegrino with a Rear Naked Choke @ 1:20 in the third round.





Cheick Kongo vs. Gilbert Aldana

Aldana scores a takedown to start the fight. Lack of action forces a ref standup with 3:20 to go in the round. Aldana with another takedown. Kongo reverses the postion and ends up in Aldana's guard. Aldana escapes to his feet, where is roughed up bad by several right hands and knees to the body. After a doctor intervened to check a cut sustained in the standup exchange, he called a stop to the contest at 4:13 of the first round due to the laceration.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Anthony Perosh vs. Jeff Monson

First period starts with a takedown for Monson. Both fighters back standing. Monson working knees from the Thai-clinch. Monson then lands several uppercuts in a row then a right cross that ends the fight at 2:22 of the first.



Joe Jordan vs. Hermes Franca

After a fast takedown, Hermes moved quickly to a high mount where he finishes the fight with a triangle from the top position. Franca wins in his return to the Octagon at 0:47 into the third round.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Joe Stevenson vs Yves Edwards

Before the third round could begin, the doctor stops the fight due to the cut on Edwards' head. The mat looks like someone got their throat slit.
Stevenson wins by doctor stoppage.


Dan Christison vs Frank Mir

Mir wins by decision.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Tito beats Ken by TKO @ 1:18 of the first round.

Josh Burkman beats Josh Neer by decision.

Tim Sylvia beat Andrei Arlovski by decision.

[Dark Genesis]

Ya... I think that it was against Rich Franklin. Pretty freakin' ugly.

Thats pic is from the smashing Tito gave him in there first fight. And yea Tito has done it again with a first round win. OMG i cant beleive Arlovski lost on descion to Silvia, BS.

[Mr.T]

ok, who has the fight for download?

[armanisuit]

yeah, that was a weak UFC. I wished the ref didn't stop the Tito-Shamrock so soon, just so there won't be any controversy, and they can end this feud between them,at least in the ring. I hope they don't set up another match.

As for the Arlovski-Sylvia fight, that was one of the most boring HW matches I've seen in a while. No one went to the ground, it was all stand-up, and you could tell both were cautious of each other for all 5 rounds.

The only highlight for me of the entire night was the fact that Wanderlei Silva from Pride came out and said he would like to fight Chuck Lidell. Now that is a fight you can count on being action packed.

[macro6]

I hope Chuck beats Babalu cause' i wanna see the chuck vs wanderlei match!

seen that fight yesterday and it was bullshit that the ref stopped the fight too early.

[pholmeskc31]

i just seen a 30 minute countdown on Showtime about the WFA's King of the Streets fight card coming up. I thought it was on PPV but its on Showtime July 22nd so for me that kicks major ass since i got Showtime. I cant wait to see the Rampage Jackson/Matt Lindland fight plus Bas Rutten signed with em and is gonna fight on this card also.

That sounds pretty sweet. Have they said if they are going to do this on a regular basis? Or is this a one shot deal.

i dont know if it is gonna be on their all the time but i hope they start putting it on their full time.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Bas Rutten vs Kimo.....that's a serious match-up.
I look forward to that.

[armanisuit]

Bas hasn't fought in a while, it'll be interesting to see if he still dominant.

[armanisuit]

WFA update:

well apparently, Kimo got dropped at the last minute (due to detection of banned substances) So Bas had to fight an alternate. I didn't get to see the fight, so if anyone did, please let us know your opinions of it.


results:
Quinton Jackson defeated Matt Lindland – Split Decision after three rounds.
Bas Rutten defeated Ruben Villareal – TKO (low kicks) in the first round.
Lyoto Machida defeated Vernon White – Unanimous Decision after three rounds.
Jason Miller defeated Ludine Sincaid – Rear Naked Choke in the first round.
Ivan Salaverry defeated Art Santore – TKO (referee stoppage due to strikes).
Ricco Rodriguez defeated Ron Waterman – TKO (Waterman did not answer bell for the second round)
Rob McCullough defeated Harris Sarmiento – Unanimous Decision after three rounds.
Jorge Olivera vs. Marvin Eastman – Draw (30-27,29-28,29-29)
Martin Kampmann defeated Edwin Aguilar – TKO (strikes) in the first round.

[gotti911]

Pride is coming to Vegas soon

[sandler]

the WFA is good because competition will force UFC to give out better fights and contracts.

im glad that MMA is now going mainstream.

also, rumors have been running around that there could be a liddel vs vanderlei match in the future!!! WOW!!!

If Liddell beats Babalu he faces Silva in November. But Silva still has to compete in the GP also. So the match is set if both fighters are cleared to compete.

Shit!

Kimo gets ousted? I'd hate to think he got the boot because of some cheeba.:019:

I hardly think he needed steroids, either. He's a monster.

I, too, think it's good to have a new MMA federation set up. It adds more opportunities for the fighters, more exposure for the sport, and competiton for the already booming franchises.

[Cowboy From Hell]

Kimo tested positive for Stanozolol, a banned synthetic anabolic steroid derived from testosterone. So I guess that's why he looked in such good shape for his age.


Glad to see some more MMA fans pop up here. I kinda figured this thread would die with pholmeskc31 gone.

[Debonya31]

Heard a rumor Tito and Jenna were a couple. Other leaks say she is with Dave Navarro. Anyone know for sure?

[sandler]

hmmmm....im sure dave wouldnt want any piece of tito, hehehe.

im pretty excited coz brandon vera is going to do a couple of MMA seminars here in the philippines. cant wait!

[armanisuit]

Heard a rumor Tito and Jenna were a couple. Other leaks say she is with Dave Navarro. Anyone know for sure?

Dunno about Jenna and Tito, but the Dave Navarro one was just a false rumor which he denied on the radio the other night.

As for UFC, looks like Diego Sanchez is still undefeated after beating Parysean (sp?) last night.
i like his tenacity, but i still dont think he can take on either George St. Pierre or Matt Hughes.

[sandler]

diego is one of the better guys to come out of TUF. in time he's gonna be one of the best fighters.

[bman]

I'd love to see Hughes / Sanchez. Hughes should tear this guy up.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Hughes is undoubtedly a great fighter, but I think he needs a good ass-kicking to humble him. His head's too big for its own good.

[sandler]

i hope hughes and bj get a go at it again.

[bman]

Agreed - Hughes is an egomaniac, and I thought he treated some of his fighters on TUF like crap, but he is really good at his job. From a skill perspective I've got nothing but respect. He does appear to be kind of a jackass though. It's weird because that's not what I was expecting from him as a coach.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Tito can act like a punk sometimes. But that's often when he's taking jabs at Ken Shamrock. That doesn't bother me too much. Fighters are often cocky mofos who'd rather bang it out, than compromise and work it out.

But I am truly hoping Matt Hughes will square off against somebody who will give him a righteous pounding.

[bman]

I was never a Tito fan until I saw the way he coached. His antics in the ring really got under my skin, but they do sell tickets. I wasn't expecting him to be the sort of coach that the show seemed to indicate.

Hughes on the other hand seemed to have very little interest in working with or developing certain team members. It was like he made a decision that it wasn't worth his time to work with some of his guys. Not what I was expecting at all.

[sandler]

i just read about TUF 4. its gonna some old ufc fighters who never really made it big. some of them are the "almost there" fighters and they wont really have an exclusive coach but guys like couture and hughes i heard are gonna help them out. some of the fighters are din thoman, matt serra and mickey burnett.

[kevdude82]

I've watched the first two episodes of TUF 4 and that is an excellent show. Every season has kept my attention. I'm a big fan of Shonie Carter after watching him on that show. I've never seen a more laid back fighter in my life.

I hope the show doesn't include women trying to become ring girls. The fact that the show is pure fighting with drama is a great mix. Anything else and it would seem lame - like when they did the challenges. It's straight fighting now and that's the way it should be.

Shonie IS cool. I thought he was a little snotty at first, but that's just the pimpish quality in him. The boy knows how to brawl. I'm hoping this TUF season offers him, and some of the others a chance at the big time.

Ring girls? I don't think they need a series dedicated to a talent search, either. But some BTS stuff about the girls might be cool. I'd like to know more about them. They can't do TOO much extracurricular outside-the-ring stuff, or else it would degenerate into something like the WWE.:031:

[TheNewNo.2]

I saw the first episode, which I liked, but missed the second one. I like the concept of this season, since these guys have all paid their dues unlike some of the really talented but inexperienced guys from the earlier season.

I dug Shonie, too, but dammit, he needs to buy himself some bigger shorts! Watching him fight in that speedo was bad enough, but then it got pulled down or something and his jock was riding out of the back. Seeing a girl's thong peeking out = :038: . Seeing an MMA fighter's jock peeking out = :P .

hahahahaha, yeah, i agree!!

[bman]

Anyone catch the bloodbath last week?

[kevdude82]

I did. lol That fight was incredible. I was pulling for Edwin DeWees and I'm glad he won.

Gideon Ray didn't do anything the whole fight, excapet the elbow that cut DeWees open and he missed a jumping kick. After the fight, Ray said he thought the fight should of been called, because of the cut. Those are words of a sore loser, imo.

The cut didn't seem to bother DeWees and he was able to keep fighting. It wasn't even that deep. It just bled a lot. lol

Kudos to Team Mojo! They're #1!

[Mr.T]

Anyone catch the bloodbath last week?
that was bitchin'! dewees never stopped - totally awesome. ray didn't do shit the whole thing except lay on the ground and get bled on. :lol: ok, so he landed one lucky shot to cut dewees, but that was it, a lucky hit. no way in hell he should've even been on the show as a contender. i don't think his previous fights would even qulify as an "almost there" type of fighter. he lost everything previously for good reason - he sucks ass.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

I was pulling for Ray. And I, too, thought DeWees might lose due to the cut.
The ref and the doc easily could have decided that the blood interfered with his vison.

Oh well...at least Shonie the Pimp is still in the running.

[bman]

Yeah, I was a bit suprised they didn't stop it, which would have been a shame given how well DeWees was fighting. Props to him for not losing his cool with all that blood. I bet a lot of fighters would have lost some will after seeing the amount of stuff coming out.

I liked the shot of Ray on the ground dodging the blood. Hilarious.

[kevdude82]

I know. lol Gideon Ray was shamed on that episode.

Dana White made a good point though. DeWees was covering the wound with one hand and throwing elbows with the other arm. He was protecting himself and fighting at the same time. Great strategy. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with the title shot after this show.

[sandler]

yeah, why do they actually think that they can get away with it? josh barnett got caught and so did tim sylvia. jeez!

[Mr.T]

who's gonna take it? i'm thinkin' Hughes only because he's pissed-off for loosing the first bout in such a pussy way. not to mention Penn is an old fat fuck now... but if i recall, he was fat the first time he made Huges tap like a little bitch.

[sandler]

i hope penn wins! there are times where he's just unstoppable but there are also times where in he has such a hard time getting his act together!

[Mr.HotStuff]

I voted Hughes - but I would love Penn to win :)

[BigDaddy_GFS]

You mean Matt Hughes if fighting Sean Penn?:013:

OMFG!!! I don't think Jeff Spicoli can handle the UFC's toughest welterweight.

But wait. That's not Sean. Well Chris was a bad mofo in the day. Except he's now hanging with Elvis, so neither he nor the King are viable opponents.:D

OK. Seriously. I hope the FIGHTER named Penn kicks Hughes' ass, if for no other reason than to see that egotistical bonehead get humbled and bloodied simultaneously.

[armanisuit]

i voted Hughes as well, I would like BJ Penn to win again, but it seems like you never know which guy will show up, while Matt has been pretty consistent.

[armanisuit]

stephan bonnar tests positive for anabolic steroids....tsk tsk ts.....
wow
1-that's totally stupid, risking his fighting career for it.
2-did it look like it even benefited him? Forrest looked much more cut than Bonnar did.

[sandler]

oh, and hughes also has a history of losing to people whom he lost to before. like dennis hallman.

[bman]

Not really a suprise, is it? Look at some of these guys. You mean to tell me Shamrock never used juice?

[sandler]

shamrock has admitted before that he used steroids during his pancrase days in japan. he said he's never used them since he started fighting in the ufc. right...........

did anyone watch it? i did, and the first 2 rounds were great!
after that is a different story...

[Mr.T]

i'm waiting for the dl. :D

[sandler]

guys ive posted the vids on the mma vid thread :)

[nuckles]

the fight wasn't that great... just my view...

[sandler]

guys ive updated the links.

[armanisuit]

thanks sandler.
i finally got to watch the crocop match against wandy.
Wow! I've never seen him bruised like that in recent memory.

[gotti911]

I thought it was one of the best fights of the year before the 3rd round

[armanisuit]

from what I've read on MMA forums, BJ supposedly broke a rib sometime in the 2nd round, which is why he looked gassed in the 3rd.
you could see BJ had a spectacular takedown defense and reversals.
gotta give credit to Matt for pulling through and pulling off a crucifix.

I hope these two fight again.

[D'Artagnan]

alright thanks alot.

[nuckles]

the Huges - St.pierre fight should be awesome... i think Huges is going down.

[nuckles]

thx for posting all these fights, great work

[kevdude82]

Matt's opponents are probably better than him in a lot of ways, but what makes Hughes victories sometimes is his ability to capitalize on a mistake. His opponents don't exploit Matt's flaws.

I was pulling for Penn, but it didn't seem like that was the same BJ Penn. I didn't see much of a difference in Hughes this time as I did last time, when he lost to BJ.

[sandler]

i think we need to see a third and deciding match ala couture-lidell. i really dont understand the whole tito-ken part 3 tho. tito will win for sure!

[gotti911]

BJ had a broken rib before going to the 3rd round. Thats why he lost

[sandler]

i think wanderlei put on too much weight for the fight. he was a lot slower than his usual self. its kinda tough to see someone you idolize get destroyed like that.

anyway, im trying to look for the renzo gracie-pat militich fight. it would be great if anyone can post it. and if ever i find it first, ill post it here for sure :)

[gotti911]

This month is probably one of the biggest month in 2 different MMA organzation. Since Pride is coming to take over the UFC fans, UFC will have to make some changes in order to compete and market with them.

UFC had to have their event a week earlier than they usually do since PrideFC is coming to Vegas. UFC usually have their events date real late during the month.

PrideFC: signed Mike Tyson temporarily in order to draw boxing fans. They have an all-star card in the October 28 PPV. The fight maker usually promotes stand up fight.

I think the Pride's opening ceremony will convert the UFC fans.

UFC usually have 2 decent headliners fight in their PPV and the rest of the card are fillers. Anderson Silva vs Rich Franklin is a blockbuster fight and Sean Shrek vs Kenny Florian isn't really that good but it's a decent fight.

[macro6]

The Pride Final Conflict was a great show, I dunno why UFC cant have a open weight tournament like pride. It makes for exciting television.

Crocop is an amazing fight, but I just dont see him beating Fedor. Nothing wrong with being the 2nd best heavyweight fighter in the world.

[sandler]

i think its because of the rules in the states re: MMA. i think theyre very strict with the weight classes unlike in japan.

[armanisuit]

here's a crappy handheld video of the gracie-militech fight
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eucJpePaOPQ

they just showed the fight on FSN the other night, so hopefully we'll see it on the net soon.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

The Pride Final Conflict was a great show, I dunno why UFC cant have a open weight tournament like pride. It makes for exciting television.



Hell, yes! There should be a no-weight-limit class and title. It would attract the big boys who don't fit the current weight lcasses, and also it would mix things up. Like the old days when they had David vs Goliath matches.

I'd like to see them bring back the 8-man iron man tournament like they had in the early days. Who in the current roster can fight three guys in one night?lol

[sandler]

at the level of these fighters, a couple of pounds would matter a lot. also, i dont think anyone can survive 3 fights anymore, hehehe. they are now martial athletes not just artists :)

[macro6]

Thats too bad about BJ Penn. He was pretty much in control in the first 2 rounds. I still think Matt Hughes would of still won in the 4th/5th round via TKO even if Penn never got injured.

I'll have to see what PRIDE does in America. I watched them on PPV a long time ago and it was kind of boring. UFC just has so much charisma and brutality. PRIDE seems a bit more scientific. I could be wrong though.

They may have changed.

Any thoughts on these two big fights or the others?

[gotti911]

UFC stepped up a notch with their fight card,

The main event is a great fight and the others 2 or 3 decent fights in my opinion. I want Sylvia to lose and GSP to win.

Mishima is a good fighter and will beat Joe Stevenson, Stevenson could only win by holding people down GnP style.

[sandler]

you gotta hand it to hughes tho. after beating bj penn recently, he's again fighting. he's a warrior but yeah, i want gsp to win. also, ive been watching TUF 2 and matt is an asshole to some of the guys from Franklins team.

[armanisuit]

yeah man, i respect matt hughes as a fighter/champion, but after seeing his appearances on TUF, he seems like a real a**hole. I wouldn't mind seeing GSP give him a reality check.

My other votes go to Monson, Vera, and Diaz. Haven't seen too much of the other guys to have a definite favorite.

[kevdude82]

I'd like St. Pierre to win, Sylvia, Mir, and Diaz.

I don't know too much about any of the other fighters. If anyone knows anything about the others and maybe any high profile guys they've beat, please throw that info up here.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Monson's a monster. Seeing him throw down with Silvia would be great.
And yes, I'd like to see Hughes get a good beating from St. Pierre. Hughes defeated him last time out, and it would be good to see an upset.

[Grunder12]

Well Matt Hughes was also kind of an asshole to when he was a coach on tuf2. Mainly to Rashad. If anyone can beat Matt though I think its GSP. GSP will be ready this time. As far as Monson and Sylvia, I would rather see Tim win.

[kevdude82]

People said they thought BJ Penn could beat Hughes again as well. I'm not sure if St. Pierre could win, but damnit I'd LOVE to see it happen. Matt Hughes being humbled would be a fantastic thing. lol

Rich Franklin recently got taken down a couple notches after getting his ass kicked by Anderson Silva. He's not so cocky now, is he?

The same could happen to Hughes and should. I hate that guy.

[sandler]

damn, the nose of franklin after the silva fight was just.....gross! hehehehe!

im rooting for GSP!!!

[Grunder12]

The knee that Silva gave Franklin would have crushed anyones nose. Silva is an amazing fighter. However, I wish he would learn some damn english.

[gotti911]

The next UFC PPV after this will probably be Ortiz vs Lidell or Swick vs Silva.

[kevdude82]

Ortiz -vs- Lidell???????? OMG! THAT is gonna be the fight of the year!

Ortiz has probably changed a whole lot since the last time they fought. Swick against Silva is gonna be bad ass well. I'd go with Silva though, even though Swick lives up to all the hype around him.

[sandler]

lidell vs ortiz II would be awesome! its just amazing to see lidell be on top of the game even when he's 37 years old already!

[gotti911]

Ortiz vs Lidell will be on December, you guys didn't know that they were gonna fight.

Chuck finish off almost all of his his UFC opponets except Jeremy Horn with the first round from what I remember. Randy Couture beat check also.

If Mike Swick can't beat Silva then the UFC needs some new blood to bring in to take Silva down. Silva is the top dog right now and the best contender isn't even on his level, seriously. Mike Swick probably has a better chance on beating Silva than Rich Franklin because Swick trained in Muay Thai in Thailand before he started in MMA. But Silva is a technical striker and they weren't kidding on the pre fight commentary, whenever he throws knees, kicks, or whatever it will be a direct hit.

[Welsh Maximus]

If Mike Swick can't beat Silva then the UFC needs some new blood to bring in to take Silva down. Silva is the top dog right now and the best contender isn't even on his level, seriously. .
I`d like to see TUF 3 winner Michael Bisping drop down and do some damage in the MW ranks,couple of scraps and I`m sure he`d be a challenge for anyone in this division.


As for the main Bill,put a tick next to another who`d like to Hughes have his ass well and truly handed to him by St.Pierre.
I also hate Sylvia,so Monson for me.
Brandon Vera I`ve been impressed with since day one @ufc,so I take him to dismantle Mir,who was uuuuuuuuuuuugly in his last outing.

[gotti911]

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Looks like Matt's had more than a little work done since his last appearance.

Those DAMN STEROIDS!!!

[BigDaddy_GFS]

I was not as impressed with this card as I have been with most others.
But it had its moments.


Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle
Decision (Split)
Winner:Matt Serra
Round 3 (5:00)

In this fight, they clinched against the fence for what seemed like 2 1/2 rounds. Serra dominated in the last few seconds. I'm glad Serra won, but I was nodding off by the time it finished.

Din Thomas vs. Rich Clementi
Submission (Rear Naked Choke)
Winner: Din Thomas
Round 2 (3:11)

Pete Spratt vs. Jeremy Jackson
Submission (Injury)
Winner: Spratt
Round 2 (1:11)

Scott Smith vs. Pete Sell
KO (Punch)
Winner: Scott Smith
Round 2 (3:25)

This fight was great! Scott Smith and Pete 'Drago' Sell threw leather all the way. And what's even more interesting...they LOVED IT! They smlied and high-fived each other several times during the match. It climaxed as Drago doubled Smith over with a body shot which almost dropped him to his knees. As Sell came in for the kill, his nose was mashed into a bloody mess by a right cross, which floored him. A great finish.

Charles McCarthy vs. Gideon Ray
Submission (Armbar)
Winner: McCarthy
Round 1 (4:43)

Travis Lutter vs. Patrick Cote

Submission (Armbar)
Winner: Lutter
Round 1 (2:18)

Jorge Rivera vs. Edwin Dewees
TKO (Strikes)
Winner: Rivera
Round 1 (2:37)

http://www.subfighter.com/fdbevent-158.html

[kevdude82]

I didn't get to see some of the fights, but Sell/Smith had the most awesome finish I'd ever seen in a UFC fight. Period.

I'm glad Serra won, but Lytle did pretty good. I think he was really pissed after the fight, as he kind of just stormed out of the Octagon. His family was shocked when he lost too. Wow. lol Talk about uncomfortable.

Lutter dominated Cote and I was hoping he would lose, because I like Patrick, however after that fight it made me a fan of Lutter.

[armanisuit]

Yup, the Sell/Smith was an awesome finish, every other fight was kind of boring, and were filler to lengthen the broadcast. I was looking forward to the seeing the Serra/Lytle match, but had to leave. too bad it seems like it was also a boring match as well. thanks for the upload Big Daddy.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

I never thought I'd be happy about a French-speaking dude whipping an American's ass. But I'll give GSP a pass on this one.lol


Round 1: St. Pierre comes out with a leg kick, Hughes with a jab. Half the crowd's chanting "USA" and half "GSP." St. Pierre with a couple low kicks, Hughes again with a jab. Hughes feigns a kick. GSP connects with a punch and Hughes blocks a kick. Hughes with a jab. GSP with two jabs. Still circling, each practically daring each other to make a first big move. GSP hits Hughes with a high kick and rocks him backwards. Hughes smiles and the two high-five before engaging again. They trade jabs. GSP kicks Hughes low and Hughes goes down. Clearly not intentional and Hughes is given time to recover. GSP with another low kick that goes too low. It looks like GSP is aiming for Hughes' thighs and missing. A longer break. Back to action, GSP goes high with a kick, Hughes hits a jab. Hughes looks angry. GSP rocks Hughes with a punch and tries to clinch him and hit a knee, but Hughes pushes him off. Hughes with a leg kick. GSP drops him to the mat with a punch. GSP with a couple bombs and another shot as Hughes gets up. GSP goes for a kick, Hughes catches him and goes for a slam but GSP manages to stay on his feet. GSP pops Hughes with a punch in the final 10 seconds something fierce, but time runs out in the round just as GSP was pouncing to try to end the fight. St. Pierre wins round one in a decisive manner. GSP absolutely rocked Hughes with the right cross; Hughes was saved by the end of the round.

Round 2: Hughes can be a slow starter, but GSP looked at the top of his game in round 1. Hughes seems to be dropping his hands from time to time. GSP going for low kicks, and takes him down with one, but Hughes gets up. Hughes went for a takedown, but GSP was waiting on it and nailed him in the head with a lethal left kick to the head. St. Pierre pounces, hits a left, a right, a left, a right, several big rights, four left elbows, and the unthinkable has just happened … Big John McCarthy stops the fight and Georges St. Pierre is the new UFC welterweight champion at 1:25 of the second round. The two fighters embrace in the octagon. St. Pierre has tears in his eyes, which he's trying to hide with his hat, as he gets the belt placed around his waist and is announced as champion.

[armanisuit]

yeah, can't wait to check it out. Maybe this will shrink Hughes ego a little bit.
Looks like Sylvia is the only Militech camp fighter still holding a belt.

agreed...jeff had no chance, syliva just spralled out everytime a takedown was attempted....as for gsp, that was an ass kicking:066: so much for hughes crying about gsp disrespecting him.....btw mir should retire, he continues to get his ass kicked....gave him much respect in returning from his accident but enough is enough

[Welsh Maximus]

.....btw mir should retire, he continues to get his ass kicked....gave him much respect in returning from his accident but enough is enough
For sure he`s looked ugly and vulnerable since his return but maybe retire`s a bit premature,he needs to lose some pounds still and have a couple of easy pickings thrown his way to build his confidence back up,dude`s still young enough.

I pray Vera pastes Sylvia next up though.

[kevdude82]

I was pulling for Monson against Sylvia, but after that win, I gotta say Tim Sylvia is my favorite in the heavyweight division. That guy is damn good. Hell, he may of lost to Arlovski once, but he made him look like a bitch in their third fight.

If Sylvia fights Vera, I'm going with Sylvia.

Results from Miramar: Ultimate Fight Night Live
By Sean McClure
Wednesday, December 13, 2006



The crowd was as I expected being that I am a former Marine myself. Before anyone e-mails me yes I know it's, "once a Marine always a Marine". And a model one I was and I can appreciate the joy that the UFC is bringing to these guys who are awaiting orders at anytime to be placed in harm's way. OOH-RAH!

Marcus Davis vs. Shonie Carter

Marcus just looks HUGE compared to Carter. They clinch and it is obvious who the crowd is for as they chant Shonie's name as he is a former Marine himself. Marcus lands some knees and then gets the takedown getting the mount and then getting Carter's back. Mr. International fights out of a rear naked choke attempt by the Irish Hand Grenade in spite of Marcus's tight body triangle. Shonie manages to get in to his guard and land a few elbows as the round ends.

In the 2nd round, Davis rocks Shonie badly and Shonie remains hurt for the remainder of the round almost. Marcus just punishes Shonie until Carter drops Davis with a nice leg kick. Still, it was all Davis.

The 3rd round saw Shonie actively seeking leg kicks on Marcus. Davis continued to land punch after punch and Shonie vainly tried to land head kicks in return.

The judges scored the fight (30-26) (29-28) (30-27) for the winner by unanimous decision: Marcus Davis

Drew Fickett vs. Karo Parisyan

Round 1 and Fickett looks good striking in the opening minutes. Karo throws some big, looping right hands and gets a groin kick for his troubles. He takes a moment to regain his composure and they are at it again. Karo gets a takedown, but Drew is right back up. Karo starts landing some big right hands and Drew is eating them like they were his lunch. The round ends with Fickett avoiding some takedowns.

Round 2 kicks off fast and furious like with the two fighters both sporting cuts from the intense striking. The fight is stopped for a moment as Karo is ground and pounding Fickett because Drew cuts him from the bottom with an elbow. The cut is bad, but is under the eye so they are allowed to continue. Fickett gets up from the takedown and then scores one of his own.

Round 3 is all Karo as he throws Fickett down and continues to get the better of the stand up. After the fight they kissed each other on the cheek and hugged.....I am not making that up.

All three judges score the fight (30-27) for the winner: Karo Parisyan

Josh Koscheck vs. Jeff Joslin

Round 1 sees Joslin getting the better of the stand up, but Kos quickly proves why he is one of the best wrestlers in the country with a beautiful shot in and takedown. They both nullify each other's ground game and the referee stands them back up. Koscheck takes Joslin down again after being rocked by a stiff right hand. Josh takes him down to end the round.

Round 2 and Joslin owning the striking game so Josh does what he does best and takes him down. Josh lands a few strikes from the guard, but they are stood back up after the action stales. Kos takes Jeff down and Joslin has a triangle in the final seconds to finish out the round.

In the 3rd round, Joslin looks to land something big and tries a spinning backfist. Josh takes Jeff down and he is neutralized again by Jeff's butterfly guard. Koscheck gets a guillotine and cannot hold on to it as Joslin scrambles to get up. They are stood up again and the round ends with a Koscheck takedown.

All three judges score the fight 30-27 for the winner: Josh Koscheck.


Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Riggs

I thought Diego looked a little softer than normal, but still looked intense as ever. It's 30 seconds before the first punch is thrown, but it happens and round 1 is officially underway. Diego's first takedown attempt is stuffed and Riggs lands a few punches in exchange. Then, in an equal exchange, Diego explodes with a hook and sends Joe reeling like something out of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out for the NES. As Riggs gets up, Sanchez rushes in and lands a flying knee that puts Riggs's lights out. He follows up with punches until the referee has to stop it.

Winner by knockout: Diego Sanchez.

The fights were decent. The Karo vs. Fickett fight was insane and very entertaining. The troops remained motivated and enthusiastic throughout the entire fight. Diego proved once again that he belongs in the UFC and that he deserves a title shot very soon.

[Welsh Maximus]

I haven`t watched it but that sounds like another very impressive showing by Diego.
After Pierre`s mandatory against Serra,he`s definately deserves to be next.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Diego's performance was electrifying. He caught Riggs with a short right jab, which rocked him. Didn't lok like a hard hit. But Riggs back-pedalled and dropped was going down just as Diego ran in with a flying knee. Riggs fell, even as Diego unloaded 3 or 4 good shots before the ref stopped it.

Riggs was OUT like a LIGHT! And yeah, he needs a title shot.

Thanks Sandler ;)

[Mr.HotStuff]

NICE!! downloading it now

[nuckles]

Whos gonna win guys? it should be a great match but i think liddel will take it with his controlled style.

[BigDaddy_GFS]

Liddell will probably 'ice' Ortiz. It will go the distance, though. Tito is improving in stamina and skill, so Liddell is not facing the same guy he fought in the past.

[gotti911]

I predict an upset if Liddell doesn't pock his eyes. Looking forward for the Bisping vs Schauffer, Singer vs Okami, and Leben and MacDonald. Best card in the UFC yet.

Right after the UFC PPV you have the Pride Shockwave the best PPV card of the year.

You also have Heros Dynamite also. Sakuraba vs Akiyama.

It will be crazy Genki Sudo's and Gono entrance as well as the opening theme and ceremony for Pride and Hero's. Japanese folks know how to entertain the fans.

Oh yeah the announcement of CroCop in the UFC

[Welsh Maximus]

Oh yeah the announcement of CroCop in the UFC
Are you kidding me? :013: That`s fuckin great!

As for the main,I`m a rootin for Chuck,but I gotta sneaky that Tito`s gonna outlast him this time and will win by G&P in the 3rd or 4th.

Definately looking forward to Bisping`s big debut too.


*BTW,I don`t get to watch this till Monday so if any of you guys are gonna post results and points of view in a new thread,please don`t give any Spoilers away in the title ;)

[gotti911]

well just saw it.

Forrest Griffin needs to clean up his act, he said the F word.

Tito Ortiz has class. That's it.

Rampage and Crocop will fight on the next UFC event. Rampage vs Eastman and Crocop vs Eddie Sanchez.

Going to watch Pride's Shockwave now

[Mr.HotStuff]

[gotti911]

I watched Shockwave and Shinya Aoki had the gayest bottom ever (long/rainbow color compression pants. but the opening ceremony with the choir singing "joyful,joyful, lord we are..." and Takadas sumo thong is gayer than that.

Shogun vs Nakamura was a goody.

Fedor was playing cards in the locker room, that guy didn't even acknowledge the camera.

[Mr.T]

watching it now... will report back when the viddy is done.

total and complete BULLSHIT!!! heaven forbid the ref actually let these guys fight.

[gotti911]

what happen, what you call you didn't like

[Mr.HotStuff]

total and complete BULLSHIT!!! heaven forbid the ref actually let these guys fight.


all the same old crap again - it is not like these guys are babies - the ref should have let them keep going - I know He was rocked but he is a tough guy and he was about 70% covered up every shot that came in - I have seen shit a thousand times worse be let continue - GLAD he won but would have preferred it to go all the way :)

[sandler]

i agree. he wouldve won it anyways but to win like that, leaves a sour taste on my mouth. its not as clear cut as it couldve been.

that macdonald-leben had the weirdest submission hold ive ever seen! WOW!!!

probably one of the best UFC's ive ever seen. not a lot went the distance!

yeah, Macdonald applied to be in the ultimate fighter but didn't get in.

MacDonald has sick jit-jitsu according to Joe Rogan when he faced Ed Herman. McDonald is a rising star in the UFC.

you should check out Pride's Shockwave videos that I have.
The one that finished TKO was a beat down- almost brutal check out the Ishida-Gomi, Yoshida-Thompson, and Tamura-Minowa. The fighters that lost those fights almost need a stretcher in my opinion and I watched alot of Pride events.

[sandler]

gotti, bro that sounds scary!!! thanks for the vids. ill be getting them in a while. damn internet connection is messed up because of the taiwan quake! parts of south east asia are now having probs with the internet!

the only good matchup for lidell is a good striker. vanderlei would give him a run for his money. just my opinion :)
