Great post mate..

Great avatar


The middleweight division is strangely lacking right now, so seeing some more good fighters brought in will definitely up the retail value there.

Although Chonan's crazy little flying scissor heel hook/kneebar/I don't know what/ was incredible, I really doubt we'll see a repeat of that; it was so out of nowhere that it just clicked perfectly. That's not to say that he'll be a bad matchup against Silva, as I feel it'll be far from that. I'm interested to see what Ryo will bring to the table when taking Anderson's brutal streak into account.

Filho would be excellent, so it's a near sure bet that Dana will mess it up somehow. I'm finding myself increasingly 50/50 where White is concerned; one week he's great, the next he's done something that's left me scratching my head. I really don't see what he could do do make Paulo go elsewhere, but a little voice tells me that he could likely find a way...

Chonan's fighting at WW and Filho is in the same camp as Silva, ergo no fight

Oh ok.. no rematch likely then..

we couold still see Filho vs Henderson/Franklin though...

even get Mayhem and Lindland into the mixer

 

[onebigeric]

Seeing as how Chonan's picked up a couple of WW titles, I should've realized that he wasn't going to change his weight class

Although it's all of 15 pounds, so maybe we'll see. Hendo has hit all three on his trip up to LHW, so anything's possible. Except for Dan cutting down and fighting Anderson, as he's stated on a number of occassions that LHW is where he wants to stay.

So.. Kimbo wins another fight.. thoughts?

Cantrell just flopped once he was hit.. Looked like he gave up after the 1st punch

Big time flop, that was pathetic. I want to see Kimbo Slice vs Mike Tyson in a bare nuckle boxing match. That I would pay for, and I would put money on Kimbo.

"I've fought two nig....."
"I've fought two guys in one day! I'll do it again!"


That was a total work. Dropping after a single hit like that is an insult to the sport itself. Although this is Showtime, and it is Kimbo, so I guess it's to be expected.

That was horrilbe what a load of crap

 

[onebigeric]

So Ortiz/Evans 2 was begged off by Tito as a result of him caliming to White that he had an injury.

Ends up he was filming on The Apprentice.



What

A

Douche

Hammill/Bisping 2 was delayed for the same reason (injury on Matt), but he tried to not let anyone know. Dangerous, but on the complete other end of the spectrum from the washed up Ortiz. Matt needs to get out of Frito's camp before he rubs off on him.

Tank has reportedly been offered a six-figure payday to fight Kimbo at Showtime's next EliteXC event.

Who knew 1-5 in the last six could be so profitable

Alot of MMA fans will complain that this is a waste of time, but I would definatelly watch this

 

[onebigeric]

I was a closet Tank fan for years and there's still a little part of me that enjoys watching him.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

^thats just cause your curious to see how drunk he comes to the fight

 

[onebigeric]

^Basically At this point I just have this morbid fascination with what Tank will actually do when he shows up, and if it will look anything like fighting. I still remember when he stripped down to that blue grape-smuggler...

Edit- *Shiny* blue

Houston Alexander's head keeps growing.

 

[onebigeric]

Maybe he got hooked on the miracle juice...

That was one of the greatest episodes ever

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Sokoujou is fighting Machida at UFC 79...ya who saw that one coming, god i cant wait for this card

 

[onebigeric]

I thought Sokoujou had signed with EliteXC

I've never been more relieved to have been mislead The AA is brutal, but Machida just doesn't quit; that'll make for an excellent bout.

 

[JS316]

Anyone wanna post the full 78 card.. im too lazy to look for it.
The only fight i know of is Rashad vs Bisping... good match up....but not much of a main event IMO
