cant wait for this....i'm going with coleman, marquardt, swick, maia, serra and danzig...i think it's interesting to see a fighter come back from a loss, i think my last 4 picks are coming of a loss so we'll see, i'm not too sure about the others if nover's fit and not fainting he should win, i'm also hoping the new gen gracie can bring something new to the HW division...we'll find out saturday night i guess

[Monoxide]

I think Gracie easily beats Turk. Danzig needs a win for sure. Serra barely got beat by Hughes. Can't wait for Wandy vs Bisping man. Who do you got in that fight?

I think Gracie easily beats Turk. Danzig needs a win for sure. Serra barely got beat by Hughes. Can't wait for Wandy vs Bisping man. Who do you got in that fight?

i think wanderlei will take it although i hope bisping does as i got to back my countryman ;)

[Monoxide]

I hear ya man. I really hope Wandy takes it. Not much of a Bisping fan but I understand where you're coming from. :)

[Sammie]

ugh.... Bisping :puke Sorry dude.... I can't stand him. lol

[Monoxide]

I ain't really a fan either and I hope Wandy beats him but I understand why people like him. I might too if I was from UK

[pussyluvva]

i know he has a big mouth but i give him props for coming back and he only lives about 30 miles away from me, gotta love wand though as he's a classy guy and seems like a friendly fella, that said though i do think he's slowing down and bisping likes to move , i see bisping dancing round and scoring for 3 rounds, that or he gets KTFO ;)

[Monoxide]

yeah I can see Bisping winning a decision with constant movement and steady work. Wandy is getting old. I think its very likely that Bisping wins a decision or gets knocked out haha. pretty cool that he lives 30 miles away man. u ever met him?

[Sammie]

I honestly think Bisping is gonna win but I don't want him to. That is cool he lives only 30 minutes from you.

[pussyluvva]

nah i've never met him, although i did used to work with paul kelly, not sure if ufc have dropped him? he trains at wolfslair with rampage and bisping

[Monoxide]

I don't think the UFC dropped him did they? Didn't he win his last fight again Roli Delgado or whatever? That's pretty cool that you worked with him though man. Was he a pretty cool guy?

[pussyluvva]

yeah he was a cool kid 5 or 6 years younger than me though , his last fight was against dennis siver, which he lost by a devasting spinning back kick to the ribs by siver, just had a look on wiki cos i couldn't remember the name of the guy he fought last and seems he now doesn't train at the wolfslair :)

[Monoxide]

oh yeah! forgot about that fight completely. i don't think he got released from the ufc though. if he did i can't find anything about it and if he did i am sure he'll be back man

[Sammie]

I dunno if I have even seen Paul Kelly fight.....

[Monoxide]

Yeah he's still with the UFC man. Check the news forum. Says he's fighting at UFC 112 I believe

[Monoxide]

These prelims aint much. Next fight will probably be boring. But at least we get to see them

[Sammie]

Fights were alright... Coleman did absolutely nothing... I kinda felt bad for him when he was talking. "Fuck you Tito" lmfao I'm glad Serra KOed Trigg. He actually was quite humble and wasn't the douchebag he normally is lol Davis was really impressive, I thought. Sonnen dominated Marquardt. I can't believe that Sonnen got out of that guillotine. It was in deep.. Marquardt is horrible off his back. I think he gave up way before the fight was over. The faucet of blood was a bonus lol :p Completely missed Maia/Miller... was it even worth watching?

[Monoxide]

Yeah I felt bad for Coleman. It was a give me fight for Couture from the beginning pretty much. I hate Nate the Great. Glad he lost even if it was to that douche bag Sonnen lol. Serra's finish was nice. Thiago is looking really good. I thought Swick would be able to beat him. It is bullshit that Thiago's sub didn't get submission of the night. Couture's wasn't even that special. Swick went out in like 3 seconds. Thiago's was the much better sub. Fuck the favoritism in the UFC. Coleman is the man but he's just too stiff/slow

[Sammie]

I wonder what Tito said to Coleman to get him all jazzed up? lol I thought that as well about submission of the night. Definitely should have gone to Thiago.

[Monoxide]

Was stupid to give it to Couture who is going to make big $ anyway. Give it to Thiago who probably needs the money and who is likely getting paid shitty

[Sammie]

yep.... you're right

[Monoxide]

A lot of people are saying this card was a step back for mma. I thought it was alright but the main event was garbage and Gracie was embarrassing honestly. I got better cardio than that guy. He gassed out in like 2-3 minutes

[Sammie]

I thought that about Gracie too but completely forgot to put it in my post lol I actually felt bad for the guy to tell you the truth.

[Monoxide]

I didn't. He knew his cardio should have been better. He should have worked harder. he's a fucking Gracie for god's sake

[pussyluvva]

i thought this ufc was...ok i suppose, only thing i can think of what you guys haven't mentioned was maia's improved stand up, he looked like a different fighter from all his other fights ....lets just hope ufc 110 brings a bit more to the table

[Monoxide]

yep i agree man. Maia looked pretty decent. He didn't look great but you could tell there was significant improvements in his stand up. shit he actually won the fight standing lol. and I agree the event wasn't all that great. it was alright. they usually put on an awesome card right before the super bowl too. Oh well UFC 110 should be a lot better. Can't wait

[Sammie]

I didn't. He knew his cardio should have been better. He should have worked harder. he's a fucking Gracie for god's sake


and that is why I felt bad for him. That's alot of pressure PLUS to suck like that..........lol

[Monoxide]

hopefully he'll fix his weaknesses

[Sammie]

honestly he has to be embarrassed as hell....that was the worst fight I have ever seen lol

[Monoxide]

yeah he looked worse than the guy who went against Hershel Walker.....and thats bad

[Sammie]

I never saw a ref stop the match bc the dude was too tired to continue either.

[Monoxide]

i've seen it happen before. can't remember the specifics though

[Sammie]

Did anyone watch the two prelims that they didn't show? Are they even worth watching?

[Monoxide]

I doubt they are worth watching. I wasn't even gonna bother

[Sammie]

I completely forgot all about them until yesterday haha

[Monoxide]

I reckon they went to decisions. I don't think I'll bother

[Sammie]

yeah I am not either. I was just wondering if they were even worth watching lol

[Monoxide]

Damn, a lot of people got dropped after this card including Coleman, Nover, Trigg and Hague. Maybe they're planning on bring new people in?

[Sammie]

I dunno what they are doing but they sure seem to be dropping alot of people lately.

[Monoxide]

Coleman should retire completely and it was pretty obvious that Trigg was gonna get canned. He was almost dropped after his last fight

[Sammie]

Yeah... I still feel bad for Coleman though. I don't really like Trigg so I don't really care if he fights or not.

[Monoxide]

I kinda feel sorry for Trigg in a way too

[Sammie]

well anyone that wants to fight and then gets cut, kinda sucks.
