UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship

[D]

damn what a boring fight.  Serra/lytle almost surpassed severn/shamrock 2 as the most boring fight ever



Stoned u should try out for TUF 5, they are lookin for 155 pounders.......... isnt that about what u weigh?

Stoned u should try out for TUF 5, they are lookin for 155 pounders.......... isnt that about what u weigh?

I'm 170 normally so if i cut like those UFC bastards do....Yep.

I'm not good enough to be on, just cos they have shit like Ross Pointon on doesn't mean i wanna get on as a punchbag.  I have good takedown skills, am very good at Judo and submissions on the ground but i've never really bothered much with the punching and kicking aspect, the competitions i've been in most of the time have essentially been UFC without the strikes i.e. Submission Grappling.  There has been the odd time or two i've been into ones with striking but no head shots allowed (to get insured to legally allow headshots would be realy hard, most places just don't have the facilites or staff.) word is back here Bisping is tryin' to get his best mate on and he is very good, he came down to our club when Bisping did the seminar here and he's also fought here a few times (and won) no problems.

Back on TUF subject i forgot to mention, what a great end to Sell vs Smith, that was a crazy finish, knocking him out then collapsing from the punch he'd already nailed him with...

[D]

a lot of people thought smith was playin possum but he wasnt, he was finished but landed an amazing shot.

that was one of the best fights i have seen and dana shouldve gave bothof those guys a contract.


serra and lytle was so awful, that kind of fight can kill some of the momentum the ufc is tryin to build.


I cant wait for saturday, i hope GSP can win but i have a feeling Hughes is gonna pull it out.

sylvia wll win and I hope Frank Mir is back in shape or he is gonna get murdered against brandon vera.




Great fight card on the tito vs chuck undercard so far

u got forrest vs keith Jardine and andrei arlovski on the card.

[Hammy]

I'm a Hughes fan i want him to win but i think GSP will win.

Sylvia will win no doubt, he's still shit though 

I really want Mir to win and win well i'm a big fan of his but his last 2 showings since his return have been crap, rumour is the winner of this will get a shot at the champ, we could have Sylvia vs Mir II, although unless he's back to his old self i expect Vera to win he's damn good.

Looking at the December Card.  It's always great to see Forrest fight with his fuck it i'll fight anyone and try my best attitude.  Hopefully we'll see the old Arlovski, last fight he was a shell of his former self, he'd totally lost his confidence and in having done so fought a five round bore which Sylvia was more than happy to win on points.  And obviously Ortiz vs Liddell should be good and is one of if not the most anticipated UFC fight ever, it's expected to do over a million...

[D]

UFC fighters need a union.

For instance Tito's last PPV got 700 thousand buys that is a gross of 28 million


tito made 250,000,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what a shitty pay off




Rich Franklin actually made less than Anderson Silva in the last fight, franklin only got 21,000


Check out Franklin's face those who didnt see it:

[Hammy]

Last Saturday night's Ultimate Fighter 4 finale on Spike TV scored a final cable rating of 1.1, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Not a very good number at all.

Not surprising, it was easily the worst season yet.

UFC have gone and ended David Loiseau's deal which is a damn shame he's a great factor who's just been unlucky as of late....

[D]

That sucks!

I wouldve liked to have seen Louiseau fight AndersonSilva

[Hammy]

UFC drops some people way to soon.

Another interesting fight for December is Jason Macdonald vs Chris Leben.

Macdonald is the dude who took out Ed Herman in his debut, would be cool to see him slay another person from TUF......he could have a gimmick then (.....Back to the wrestling thread...)

[D]

We are less than 2 hours away.


I wish both champions would lose tonight

Sadly I dont think either one will.


I just hope Frank MIr can get back on track tonight.

that would set up Mir vs Sylvia 2

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Is it me or does it seem lately that Hughes is starting to become arrogant and cocky?

The man who will take Hughes title will be St. Pierre.? Whether it'll happen in September or not remains to be seen.? Athough I think St. Pierre will win.? He's young, experienced, and a badass mutha-fucka.

He was too young and inexperienced in 04, I'm pulling for him in September.

Damn right.

Sorry, just wanted to get some "I told ya so" out of my system. 

[Hammy]

Well done GSP, Hughes looked damn poor, he did against Penn to though....

...Gutted to see Mir lose again.  I have to give Sylvia credit, the dude is trying, i mean going for a triangle, sayin' that he should of got it locked in from the position he was in, if he'd of pulled his feet down it would of been tight...

[R4tfink]

UFC gets better every single event i watch! Fucking awesome. GSP owned Hughes. Brilliant stuff!

All the previews i've read think Chuck will win.

He's the bookies favourite.

Couture is convinced he will win sayin' he'd even come out of retirement to challenge Ortiz if he won.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is in the UFC, he's fighting at UFC 67

Liddell has only lost 3 times, to Couture, Horn & Jackson, he's avenged 2 of those losses so i think if Chuck beats Ortiz this will be his next fight.

Hopefully Bisping will get off to a winning start this weekend as well.? It's a fantastic card, unfortunately here in the UK we don't get it 'til Monday Night....

Speaking of big name fighters...

"Cro Cop" to Face Eddie Sanchez in UFC Debut

Wednesday, December 27, 2006
by Sherdog.com Staff

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is expected to introduce Croatian heavyweight Mirko Filipovic as its newest acquisition during the Dec. 30 UFC 66 pay-per-view card, Sherdog.com learned Wednesday afternoon.

A star in the competitive PRIDE Fighting Championships' heavyweight division from Nov. 2001 through Sept. 2006 ? when "Cro Cop" captured PRIDE's Open-Weight Grand Prix crown ? Filipovic is slated to make his Octagon debut against North County Fight Club's Eddie Sanchez, a source close to Sanchez said.

I've seen a lot of PRIDE recently and he is lethal, a fantastic fighter...he went through Wanderlai Silva & Josh Barnett in the same night....

[Hammy]

Finally seen UFC 66, awesome event!  Loved every match on the card, some fantastic knockouts, great to see Bisping triumph!  Jardine was damn impressive to as was Macdonald, 2 nice upsets there.  Shame Ortiz did not win but it was a good fight, i'm looking forward to Rampage vs Chuck now, oh and Cro Cop is gonna kill Sylvia 

[sweet616]

a cant beleive ortiz to all them hits in the first round and survived hes a true champion!

[D]

Tito has improved greatly, So i wasnt disappointed. I dont know why they didnt stop the fight in round 1 but stopped it in round 3 when Tito was blocking most of those punches with his elbow and shoulder.


Still though, he did great to rebound and win Round 2.

I think he gave Chuck way too much respect though.


People ask me why he didnt try the takedowns more.

Well the takedown is what got him beat. when he would shoot in, Chuck would stuff it and Tito would eat massive punches tryin to get back up from the shoot.

I dont know why, when Tito was on his back and Chuck would drop down and start punching why Tito didnt go for an arm bar or something.......

Great Fight though, I hope one day they rematch yet again. Tito is gettin closer to figuring chuck out. He got a little too impatient though and that cost him.

[sweet616]

i was just hoping for tito to grab a hold of him and chuck to tap, theres something about chuck that i dont like. am just getting into watching UFC so a back story would be helpful

[Gnrfan]

Well you could say a true champion wouldn't get hit.

I was hoping Tito would win and then we could have a decider but didn't work out that way

Yeah, but Chuck seems too good for him to me. and thats not a throw away comment.

Like D said Tito gave him too much respect and paid for it. Looked like he thought he was gonna lose . . not saying thats true just looked like it to me.

I haven't watched UFC much but i always thought that Tito was the 'King' on the outside but i've seen some of Chuck and he reminds me of Noel Gallagher . . A cocky guy who people want to fall on his face, but in the end has done the business to back it up.
