ya i heard that too, i dont know if Wandy has become retarded after getting his ass kicked twice...i mean wtf is he doing fighting this soon after getting fucked up so badly and two, hes been horribly KO/TKOed twice why is he fighting fuckin IGOR???!!!

all that aside it should be an interesing fight or a slaughter, depending if Wandy can recover well or not, i very much doubt it now

 

[onebigeric]

I feel he's desperate to assert himself again, but I think it will seriously cost him. He needs to take a step back and re-evaluate himself; a three-fight losing streak is just going to leave him a wreck. He's already sans title, so I don't know why he'd want to make it worse.

i think Wandys time has past, hes not too old, but the guys been in too many wars, it takes its toll eventually...its Shoguns time now

But i will say this when was the last time Igor fought? i thought i read that he had opened and was running a resturaunt

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Igor last fought in 2005 against Nakamura, he must have decided to come back because is PRIDE's last show under DSE

do you think he will still be effective against Wandy

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Igor hasnt really lookd like IGOR for years, if Wandy was himself i would say no chance in hell, but since Wandy is looking a bit hesitant and messed up too, this could be a pretty even matchup...Igor has definate power and Wandy's standup has been screwy, you never know

 

[madakira]

Wandy and Igor are both off the card for tonight

 

[CaptainCharisma]

this is a pretty shitty PRIDE card for their last show under DSE...its a shame

So I am here in Houston for UFC69. The UFC asks me to do an autograph session for the Fight Club or something. About 10 minutes into it, a woman comes up and asks me to sign her poster.
Her: "Who do you think wins this one?" (Pointing to Josh and Diego)

Me: "Diego."

Her: "ohhhhhh..... Don't say that... Josh is my son"

Me: "Oh yea? Uh... well it will be a good fight. Josh is a great wrestler. "

She doesn't say anything. Dammit.

[CaptainCharisma]

[CaptainCharisma]

wonder what it is

 

[CaptainCharisma]

im still not gonna order the PRIDE card, besides Arona vs Sokodjou (sp?) i dont really care for any fight, i doubt the suprise will really be worth it

 

[CaptainCharisma]

btw i been uber busy with work so i never got a chance to get my predicts out, i see Swick over Okami, Koschek over Diego and GSP over Serra, i havnt got a chance to really look over the rest of the card
