Silva vs. Liddell

September 22nd.

my birthday....how did you know!?

 

[onebigeric]

Today might as well have been my birthday; viva Franklin and Forrest Looks like my stigma on picks is ebbing away, but I'm still not going to say a thing about Anderson and Nate


Cool deal about Herman as well, although I do like Scott Smith; taking a loss after that bs garbage fight that Cote layed-and-prayed on to a ridiculous degree must be a little tough.

I saw who won the fights but haven't watched it yet I'll watch them this week

Not thinking that one is going to the ground, that should be fun to watch.

no joke i think it will be a stand up war but if CC gets hurt he could take Kongo down with ease

Cheick Kongo is such a badass name. (I know Kongo isn't his real name, but still)

if you go on UFC.com you can see a nice Bad Blood video between Bj and Jens

and by the by, BJ hired a conditioning expert/nutritionist, and looking at that video i cant believe my eyes at what BJ looks like....its fuckin over Jens is a dead man

thanx for the heads up on that vid... really cool watch.
that nutritionist is actually living with him 24/7... he's really serious..

this could go either way as both guys have some major weapons..

im pullin for BJ

 

[CaptainCharisma]

the odds for this fight are -330 BJ and +260 Penn

Jens gets ZERO respect from anyone, i think BJ will take it but i dont think Jens is that much of an underdog, in comparison Liddell vs Jackson at its peak was i believe -310 Liddell and +240 Jackson

 

[fallen]

damn i feel bad that Jens has zero respect his way but i know BJ is a better fighter but that hasn't meant much this yr

^^^^ yeah Tech looks like a great card i didn't think Bonnar would be back so soon after his steriod leave

yeah me too... agree, looks like a good card

 

[CaptainCharisma]

73 is gonna be great, i think Edgars fight should be replaced with Florians, but whatever

74 will be pretty crazy too i believe GSP/Kos and Couture/Gonzaga on one card

 

[Tech]

an old Power Ranger is now fighting in MMA.

 

[onebigeric]

^^Seriously?

Didn't the Red Ranger get into da man pornos? I remember a thread about that here

73 has been a huge blip on my radar for weeks; Evans, Sherk, Silva, Herring, Nog, Stephan, Gurgel, Lytle....


As good as BJ is, I wouldn't count out Jens at all. He's much more mentally composed going in(truth is, BJ is an overall space cadet; we know it's true), and he took Penn post to post for their last three rounds the last time they locked up.

His KO courtesy of Lauzon showcased what can happen when Pulver is screwing around too much; if he's really learned from that, I see no reason why he couldn't beat BJ.
