^^Huh; thank you for the heads up on that Don. I'll look for it in reruns




I feel Maynard is shaping up to be a serious threat in MMA itself, let alone the UFC's LW division. He tooled his first opponent in TUF5, and he was completely dominating Emmerson before he rocked himself on that slam. I firmly believe that is wasn't a legitimate KO (I've been in the sport, unlike Rogan, and no one is that coherent that quick after a theoretical knockout; he was rocked for sure but it was far from enough to call it a NC, especially in the face of Emmerson's tap. Joe's endless 'commentary' and conjectures actually irritated me quite a bit, as I hate armchair quarterbacks like him).

Instead of whining about it, Gray hits the gym and is back just over a month later with a nine second first-round KO. He's humble, hungry, and extremely well rounded; I see a definite future for him in any division he fights in. His tramp stamp is pretty lame though

I wasn't all that surprised to see Randy in the building; Dana is still a businessman first and foremost, and he knows tyhe amount of money he stands to make on Randy's success. I know he'd be happy as a clam to have him back, ergo he has no reason to try and hassle him about something as trivial as cornering a fighter....at least I hope Dana doesn't get that stupid, though I could see it happening

wait, doesnt rogen train in mma I dont know man, to tell you the truth, emerson isnt that good to begin with, so I wasnt surprised at him getting ruined by maynard, but that doesnt automatically mean maynard is a threat in the lw division. Obviously I can be proven wrong, but from where it stands right here, he hasnt shown anything special.

Seras out of ufc 79

 

[fallen]

damn that sux i really was wanting to see that figth

 

[onebigeric]

So they have a flash pop-up for TUF6 Finale on the UFC news page....and I'm totally on a blank as to who those two even are. My interest just died away this time around

Bummer about Sera; I wish him the best, but I hope he takes the time he needs to recover from this instead of rushing a recovery to walk into another injury. The card doesn't exactly suffer all that much with their bout's removal though.

heres to the chuck/wandy fight

 

[CaptainCharisma]

^thats ALL i wanna see, paying 39.99 for pretty much that fight, everything else is a bonus

 

[Kanav]

Im hearing rumors of anderson silva training chuck to take on wanderlei.

I thought wanderlei was considering joining black house after the fall out with chute box.

I guess theres still some animosity there

 

[Kanav]

Oh shit

Huges vs Gsp?!

Thats a good sub

 

[CaptainCharisma]

GSP vs Hughes III...UFC 79 just went from damn good to fuckin A

 

[thedon]

GSP vs hughes III, i'm buying it just for that

 

[JS316]

Oh shit

Huges vs Gsp?!

Awesome news! I hope that gives GSP enough time to get into the same shape as he was last time.

 

[onebigeric]

^^He tends to stay in fight shape for most of the year, so I expect he'll come in with both guns blazing


So does Hughes still get a title shot despite the outcome of this fight?

Its for the Interim title, so there must be a unification fight for the winner..

also...

did anyone catch Gono's entrance in the last UFC? Not sure if theres any footage of it... Im keen to see it.

 

[Kanav]

I think Hughes is the one who asked for this fight. He had a title shot secured anyways, and threw it away just to prove that he deserves to be the champ.

I admit he talks shit from time to time, but god damn, I still respect him

rampage vs forrest = official

 

[JS316]

Watched the boxing today... this is a stupid comment, but did anyone else laugh at the size of the gloves at 1st glance.. I'm just used to the MMA ones.
Sorry for the non MMA comment.

 

[PrizeFighteR]

rampage vs forrest = official

I called that right when he announced Forrest would be one of the coaches. Right when he said Forrest is the #1 title contender it gave it away for me. God I love both of those guys this is going to be a kickass season.
