It's not trash talk if you can back it up.

I take it you're a GSP fan?

Why wouldn't he fight Spider?

GSp beat him soundly. Yes, I'm a fan.
He should fight Silva after his groin pull is healed. It would be a good one no question.

UFC 104

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
Sean Sherk vs. Gleison Tibau
Joe Stevenson vs. Spencer Fisher
Anthony Johnson vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida


Rua looked like shit his last 2 fights. Machida will destroy him.

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

Rua looked like shit his last 2 fights. Machida will destroy him.

Man, was I wrong about that one!



UFC 107 tonite!!

B.J Penn vs Diego Sanchez. I think BJ should win this one. He is fighting at his proper weight, unlike the match between him and GSP.

Ken Florian vs Clay Guida looks like a good one.

Jon Fitch vs Mike Pierce. 2 wrestlers. You wolud expect it to go to the ground immediately, but I'm going to go out on a crazy limb and predict a KO.

Frank Mir vs Cheick Kongo. A submissions specialist vs a heavy hitter. It's been said that Mir has put on some extra muscle to compete with the bigger guys in the division, we'll see if he can put Kongo down with strikes or a submission, since Kongo apparrently has no ground game. I'm picking Mir to win this one. I haven't seen Kongo fight...yet.

Paul Buentello vs. Stefan Struve. I don't know either of these guys, to be honest, but I do want to watch what a 7' heavyweight does in the octagon.

It's too bad the Rampage-Evans match-up isn't taking place tonight,but all in all, looks like some pretty good match-ups.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIt's TIIIIIIIMMMMMME!

Buentello vs The Skyscraper coming up..

[hideyoursheep]

Streube (?) has some long legs! He squeezed BuenTello's midsection like a boa! ...Ooops...live feed keeps lagging, so it's going on a 30 min. delay. I'll catch it in RD 2 when it gets here-looks like they were starting to bang..

You'd expect a guy like Struve to have some wicked kicks in his arsenal.

[hideyoursheep]

Rd 2...Wow. Struve walks right in to some hard shots..Other than his body triangle, his grappling looks like shit. Maybe he's too lanky to put anything tight enough...Rd.3..now he's using that leg length advantage..Buentello could have made him pay in the clinch with some knees to the midsection if he were more athletic. I think Struve wins by decision...

He did.

Guida vs Florian

Rd 1-Guida acts like a pro wrestler...and he bleeds like one after that elbow.
I give that one to Florian.

Rd 2-Florian took his time and hit Guida HARD That was damn near his entire forearm going through Guida's jaw. He wasted no time finishing. Florian slaps the rear naked choke on to end it by sub. Good fight.

[hideyoursheep]

Jon Fitch vs Mike Pierce...I predicted a standing KO between these 2 wrestlers, let's see what happens.

Rd 1-Fitch got on Pierce's back and couldn't get him down even with all those noogies to the face, then they stand back up and dont do much, but Fitch wins the round IMO.

Rd 2-Fitch gets a kick caught and Pierce takes him down with it, but Fitch takes his back again. Advantage Fitch.

Rd 3-Pierce knew he lost the first 2. He kept it standing and finished strong, but couldn't pull it off.

Fitch got the decision, but man, his face is hamburger! I doubt he could have made it another round.

Mir vs Kongo

Missed it..link went live

Penn vs Sanchez

Rd 1-Penn beat his ass. Sanchez doesn't want any more of that. Penn wins this rd.

Rd. 2-Man, Penn's defense is outstanding. Sanchez is the #1 contender? No wonder they asked BJ to fight outside of his weight class!

Rd 3-BJ continues to frustrate Nightmare. He just does what he wants-or what he doesn't want to do. Taking Sanchez into rd 4..

Rd 4-BJ continues to play defense, scoring a few punches, and turning it up a little late in the round.

Rd 5-OUCH! Penn performed a lobotomy on Sanchez! His forehead is wide open! Penn gets the TKO.

BJ's trunks used to be white!


Still don't know what happened with Mir-Kongo.

[hideyoursheep]

Will we ever see a unification title bout between anyone? Is it the money, or the fear of an organization losing credibility if it loses too many fights to another organization?

If White believes the UFC is the NFL of MMA, he should run with the idea.

[hideyoursheep]

UFC 108 getting under way. I just saw the prelims, and that second fight....I can't remember his name, how he escaped from that kimura was impressive.

Yvel vs Dos Santos coming up..

[hideyoursheep]

Dos Santos knocked Gilbert Ivel to the ground, but it looked to me like he still had all of his senses. He couldn't cover when Dos Santos came after him. Unable to defend, the fight gets stopped. I thought that was way too early. Should have gave him the benefit of the doubt..at least a few more seconds -maybe he tries a takedown.

Was that Noriuega in Junior's corner?

[hideyoursheep]

UFC 109 is headlined by Mark Coleman vs Randy Couture.

Really?

Jesus..

[hideyoursheep]

Miller vs Ludwig.

WTF is White trying to do? Make a buck or make it respectable? How the hell do you prepare for 1 fighter when they throw another one at you with 2 weeks notice?

Well, Miller slapped an armbar on Ludwig after a few minutes.

Lmao at Miller for trying to defend this card. It's not that good. I just wanna see Evans get slapped around.
