I enjoyed the Sam Stout vs. Matt Wiman fight and the Kongo and Soszynski wins. The main events were both shit though.

Liddel just lost the ability to take a punch. Everyone tends to slow down, but you have to adapt your style. Liddel just has the same stuff he's had for years and either he's slowing down or everyone else is speeding up. either way, he needs to retire or change his game. it's funny, though...I watched a lot of his fights and he rarely ever gets a 1 hit ko nad it's generally gnp to a tko and his last few defeats were the 1 hit glass jaw ko style.
I'm sad to see him go. I think he should have just announced it in the ring. Having dana basically retire you is just degrading. (UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and tickets — MMAmania.com) Still, wiman/stout and kristoff were worth watching. the rest was a snoozefest or just sad

The undercard was actually pretty good. I wish they'd shown that instead of the main event snoozefest.
I'd prefer to forget that PPV sooooo... Who's gonna stay undefeated Rashad or Machida? While I can see Rashad hitting a KO, I don't think it will happen. I think Machida win and be in for a looooong reign as champ. Before his last fight that would have made me cringe, but after his fight with Thiago Silva not so much. If he fights like that, damn he's gonna be good. The biggest knock against Machida? He's never really fought any top contenders in the UFC. The Silva fight was really a fight to BE a top contender and Tito was way past his prime when he and Machida fought.

SO apparently, UFC 101 is going to have a co-main event with Forrest Griffin facing Silva for the belt. Silva better not play possum in this one or he'll be smashed to bits.

I saw this too and look forward to it, although I don't think it would be for the belt since the fight would likely happen at 205 and Silva has the 185 middleweight belt.

Yeah I was going to say, I don't think Griffin would go down to 185 but I could definitely see Silva going back up to try out 205 again. Sounds like it could be an entertaining fight!
And yes, Fedor is the man.

This is supposedly going to set up a Silva/GSP matchup if both of them win their superfight matches. I don't remember all the details but it will be the event before the MSG event. I'll look it up later.
While Silva/GSP would be a great match, I hope Forrest beats the shit out of Silva; if for no other reason than Silva deserves it after the past couple of matches he's had. |

So which undefeated fighter walks out as champ this weekend, Rashad or Machida?
I'm picking Machida, to be honest Rashad has never really impressed me.

Machida. He's my favorite fighter in the UFC. Evans fights out of my city but I gotta go for Machida.

I honestly don't either. I really don't like Diego even though he's from my home town but damn he was insane last night. I just hate his attitude and how he seems completely insane. haha

yea, sorry, just seeing guida come back like that....fight should have been a draw. Far far far too close..
i find it funny, though, that the UFC ppv had almost no barnburners..and TUF finale has 3 fight of the nights...

Oh, I agree. I would love to see the the round by round scoring because the math just doesn't seem to add up without a 10-10 round 3. I mean you can't have a 29-28 score with a 10-8 round without a 10-10 in one of the rounds. Still, this is just assuming a 10-8 round one. The judge that scored it 29-28 Sanchez could have given the first round a 10-9 score...

Mir wins by Submission
St-Pierre by decision Bisping by TKO Thiago by submission That's all I have for now. I'm only just now getting back into MMA and haven't really kept up with everyone.

I really really dont see GSP/Alves going the full 5. Either Alves is going to KO him ala Serra early (doubt it but it could happen) or GSP is going to pick Alves apart and wear him out before he finishes him (I'm picking sub but I can totally see GSP by TKO from a GnP).

haha Lesnar is going to come to this fight really strong and if Mir comes to the fight out of shape he'll get his ass stomped by Lesnar. If Mir comes prepared though, I think it'll end in a similar fashion as their first match.

How about TUF reject Tom Lawlor beating CB in less than a minute in what was supposed to be a gimmie for CB?

Lesnar is an assclown for his post fight antics. Karma will probably dictate that his leg gets broken in a submission by an opponent in the future. Henderson should be in jail, for his assault on an unconcious person(Hendeson bragged about how he knew the guy was out cold and hit him again, just to pay him back).

hendo may have known he was out, but the fight was still going on and the ref didn't call it till after the 2nd hit. rampage did more to silva. some fighters hve stopped when someone was 'out' and teh ref looks at them blankly and tells htem to continue. Heck, hendo was committed ot the last shot before bisping even hit the ground. I say it's fair since bisping robbed hammil and then bragged about it. Lesnar's post fight antics were a disgrace, no doubt. It's rare to see a fighter get in someone's face after winning. Even more rare to badmouth a HUGE company sponsor in a sport looking for bigname sponsorship. I would say it's a carry over from WWE, but he hasn't been in wrestling in years...
I gotta give Lawlor a beer for beating cb...i hate that guy..same for hendo... I admit coleman shocked the hell out of me beating bonnar.

I don't see Lesnar really staying in the UFC long. Just something about his style tells me he's going to fade out pretty quick.
The Henderson forearm was just bad... brutal.. but bad. He knows better than that shit. Now it would be nice to see a street fight between them. Supposedly, Dana White is serious about getting Fedor now. He doesn't care how much he'll cost.. and Lesnar vs. Fedor will be the main ticket. That may just be Lesnar's exit. I can't see anyone beating Fedor. |
