^^ dont get me wrong ill definately watch it.. but of all the fighters in the world that id like to see the best ever fight i wouldn't have chosen lindland.

Its for Bodog so I guess there wasn't alot of options... Lindland is a great fighter all the same.. I guess he can come in heavier to this one so may even things out a bit.

Just a thought though... who wants Lindland to win and become the best fighter in the world?

Bodog is a joke. "Greatest fighter in the world?" That alone makes them look so lame.

ya, but Bodog has got HUGE financial resources, that alone could get them to grab some really badass big names in MMA

Gomi fighting Nick Diaz at Pride 33.. thats really cool! Hope Nick does well.. he's an asshole.. but i good fighter with some unlucky decision losses lately.. looking 4ward to this one

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Gomi will murder him, Diaz is good and all, but he's nowhere near Gomi's calibur

I think it's reminiscent of WCW; more money than sense. Whatever happened to that 'fight island' crap? The one where the winners were sacrificed to Fedor's camp?

Oh, and Diaz will go down hard. At least he'll have a clean loss to complain about

Ultimate fight nite is tonight.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Rashad Evan > Sean Salmon
Hermes Franca > Spencer Fisher
Heath Herring > Jake O'Brian
Dean Lister vs Nate Marquardt ?????

the Dean and Nate fight is my pick for fight of the night, although i hope it gets televised, i dont care about the rest of the card

 

[fallen]

The Dean and Nate fight could steal the show but I am kinda xcited to see Heath fight again

 

[CaptainCharisma]

the Texas Crazy Horse will bring some much needed excitement to the stale HW division

 

[onebigeric]

Team Heath #2!!!!!

I'm more than excited to see him tonight.

 

[JS316]

yeah..seeing heath againwill be great.. IMO.. he went as close to beating fedor as anyone has.. (not saying he almost won.. just he didnt get raped.. untill the end)..

Also Dean vs Nate is a good one.. My moneys on Nate..

 

[JS316]

Also...
I think Eddie Sanchez has a good chance of beating Crocop..

if he dies his hair blonde.

Think about it.......

i thought bout it but nah not happening

 

[CaptainCharisma]

so far Marquardt and Franca have won, crazy horse is up next i believe

 

[CaptainCharisma]

omg Heath Herring lost...fuck me sideways

 

[CaptainCharisma]

oooo brap Rashad just pwnzored Salmon hardcore

 

[onebigeric]

Rashad is finally fighting to win, not just to not lose. I'm firmly in his camp now, which is the first real turn I've had concerning a fighter in recent memory. I was a vocal critic of his when he was eeking out decisions left and right, but he's really evolving into a very complete fighter at this point. That high kick was beyond brutal, almost Mirko-quality when you break it down. A picture perfect knockout Although I'll give some major credit to Salmon, as he really established himself well in round one. He dominated Rashad, but his gassing in round two was what really did him in, I believe.

That wasn't Heath. I don't know where he was, but he'll be back soon.

Props to Ed, as that was a beautiful submission. Good to see him back on track.

Aside from that, I haven't watched the rest of the event yet; just got back from work. Look forward to seeing the rest though.

 

[Rob Roy]

Herring MacDonald fight was slightly less than exciting. herring with zero takedown defense. Bitching about MacDonald stalling. This is MMA, it is scored on points. Would loved to have seen some throwing gloves though.

 

[onebigeric]

^For a change, and not a moment too soon. Like I said, I'm a fan now, 'cause I definitely wasn't one of his before.

BTW, which Japan-only SF game is your Cro-Cop avatar from, CC? Or is it a custom gif?
