ufc's answer to afflictions first card?

Anderson Silva vs James Irwin........AT 205!!!!!!

Brandon Vera vs Reese Andy

i really doubt anyone really cares too much about vera's fight, but A. Silva at 205 is pretty serious; im really curious to see how he does...but still not curious enough to watch this instead of the affliction card live

 

[CaptainCharisma]

heres the updated ufc card so far

Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs James "The Sandman" Irvin
Frankie "The Answer" Edgar vs Hermes Franca
Anthony "Rumble" Johnson vs Kevin Burns
Cain Valesquez vs. Jake O'Brien
Brandon "The Truth" Vera vs Reese Andy
Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva vs TBA

...im starting to get at a crossroads of which one to watch...

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Ivan Salaverry has retired from active mma competition

 

[JS316]

Man why is Anderson moving up?..Imagine if he loses this fight.. does he move back down? He would be much less of a drawcard. Stupid man.

Is it true Mir has a shot at Nogs title? Because he won one fight against a rookie and got killed by 4-5 other middle range fighters?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

A. Silva is gonna be inbetween the 2 divisions from now on i guess, the only exception i believe is if he loses at 205...as for Nog/Mir, it looks like that's a go since their both coaches on the next TUF

 

[CaptainCharisma]

some fights for what looks like the upcoming ufc 88 card:

Chuck Liddell vs Rashad Evans
Dan Henderson vs Rousimar Palhares
James Lee vs Tim Boetsch

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i was listening to this interview with Chris Lytle about his upcoming fight with Koscheck...pretty good interview, till Lytle had to leave the interview early to go fight a fire...no joke

the interview should still be up there, he leaves around the 40 min mark

Wanderlei didn't take the fight at the july 19'th card, reason was not enough time to prepare.

So he won't be fighting

this is an interview with AA at the weigh ins on friday

http://mmamania.com/2008/07/17/andrei-arlovski-how-taste-my-pee-pee-tim-sylvia-video/

fedor/tim

 

[CaptainCharisma]

this fight was perfect for fedor, sylvia is so dumb, why the fuck would he try to clinch with a guy that almost a foot shorter than him, he gave up a stupid position and fedor took advantage and never looked back

 

[CaptainCharisma]

....nothing big but it just looks like Fedor Emelianenko will be fighting Andrei Arlovski in october

 

[JS316]

^^ nice.. finally all the fights we've been waiting for for years.. hopefully we see Randy and Fedor after that

 

[JS316]

please no thread titles with 'fighter a' beat 'fighter b' please.... some of us wont see 87 for a few days

i dont care what anyone says, Dana White is ill

 

[JS316]

Yo, Donald Trump is involved in a reality show to be filmed in Russia... 16 guys competing for the chance to fight Fedor..

Great Prize
