o0onapstero0o Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I hope randy takes that fight, it's only going to be good for him. he'll avoid losing all his money fighting Zuffa's lawsuits, he gets back in the good graces of Dana White and the Fertittas, and (should he win) he makes his call to fight fedor much more legitimate now. I'm afraid if Randy refuses to fight Nog, and opt instead to wait out his contract, it will leave him broke. yes very true! but what was randy's aim was legit! he wants to fight what he think is well deserved for his last... lets just hope things are done immediately coz randy's not getting any younger!

o0onapstero0o Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Who do you think will win? Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson Can't wait for this fight to happen spider will win this great fight! no one in their weight div can match this guys talent! i think he'll hold that belt for a long time... muay thai clinch, knees to the head baby! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
HansSolo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) yeah,, i think silva's gonna win that fight,, but its gonna be close... hoping 4 an upset though so rich franklin can join the mix again coz as long as silva's the champ franklin will never have a chance at another title shot... cant wait for the rampage vs griffin match,, now thats gonna be a slambang affair,, hope the TUF 7 finishes quickly.. but ofcourse b4 that will be the rematch of GSP and matt serra,, GSP all the way baby... :thumbsupsmiley: Edited February 7, 2008 by HansSolo Quote Link to comment

GSP will surely be the LONGEST welterweight of all time! serra's win over him was just plain luck! Quote Link to comment
HansSolo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) agree! GSP will surely be the LONGEST welterweight of all time! serra's win over him was just plain luck! wow!! we actually agree on something.. haha the win by serra was a fluke,, GSP was overconfident and i think he took the fight lightly... but this time i think hes more focused... he just dominated matt hughes in their last 2 fights... GSP is the best pound 4 pound fighter,, hes the most talented his only weakness is his mental toughness,, he sometimes gets distracted,, but i think when GSP prepares for a fight no one can beat him in the welterweight division... hell surely surpass matt hughes as the best welterweight off all time,, no diss to matt :thumbsupsmiley: Edited February 7, 2008 by HansSolo Quote Link to comment
resident_big_evil Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 lesnar did better than expected... i half expected mir to completely dominate... the ref's call was a little dubious... Quote Link to comment
AmBlue Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hitting a guy in the back of the head should have been a warning. Unless, it was discussed pre-fight and both agreed. None of us were there, so speculating is the best we can do. I suspect that it was. Lesnar was outclassed...he moved well, put out a nice power display but simply didn't have the tools to deserve the paycheck. If this is the way that Dana and Gang are heading (taking 'roid freaks with little talent but a big name) we are going to see the UFC look like a joke. I pray that doesn't happen. Lesnar should have kept his mouth shut and stayed away from Muscle & Fitness magazine. This month features Kimbo Slice, so how long before that goon gets thumped by somebodt who actually knows what to do? Quote Link to comment
IndianBarry Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 MMAJUNKIE.COM talks with steve mazzagatti MMAJUNKIE.COM: Did you issue Lesnar a warning? That’s a big part of this whole thing, you know? Some fans think you didn’t issue a warning.STEVE MAZZAGATTI: Yeah, I did. Brock’s excited. It’s a big, big opportunity for him, and — in my opinion — he looked down and saw the head there, and he took three shots at him and caught him. I jump in and say, “Don’t hit at the back of the head.” A few more seconds go by, Mir tucks up under there again, and Brock comes down with the second couple hits to the back of the head. That’s when I jumped in and had to do my job. That’s what I saw. MMAJUNKIE.COM: So, just to be perfectly clear, you did issue Lesner a warning before you stopped the fight and deducted a point?STEVE MAZZAGATTI: Oh yeah, I did. But can you imagine the decibels in there? That was one of the fights everyone came to see. Of course, I came home and did my homework, watched the tape, and I can’t hear myself give the warning. I couldn’t hear myself say, “Bring it on!” on that beginning. [laughs] That’s my thing. I always shout that. If you watch the tape, you can barely even hear that. for the whole interview http://mmajunkie.com/2008/02/05/referee-st...iecom-interview ---------- Brock Lesnar is legit IMO, he just got caught. Mir is a world class BJJ practicioner, and former UFC champion. Skill wise Lesnar was overmatched for sure. But seeing the natural wrestling skills the guy has, how fast he shoots, his explosiveness, his quick transitions, makes me think that Lesnar is the real deal. To be a National Champion in greco is no joke. I give him 12 months till he starts really wrecking s@%t up. Funny thing is everytime I go to MMA boards, it's the same thing. Most of the hardcore fans who have been fans of MMA since UFC 1 found Brock to have legit skills, the noobs who only got into the sport via The Ultimate Fighter don't have respect for Lesnar saying he's just a roided up freak. Goes to show who really knows how different people's views are. This month features Kimbo Slice, so how long before that goon gets thumped by somebodt who actually knows what to do? LOL, kimbo slice. That guy has improved a lot ever since his very first fight with Sean Gannon. A few more fights and he's ready for the big show. anyway my UFC 82 picks: Hendo by GnP (no way Dan loses twice in a row)Herring via armbarArlovski via KOJon Fitch via KOTanner via referee stoppage due to cutsKoscheck via boring decisionLuke Cummo via TKO --- this is a great thread BTW, keep it up Quote Link to comment
o0onapstero0o Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 great fights coming up! kongo & herring's fight will be phenomenal! whoever won should have a title shot! arlovski is back but who the heck is jake o'brien anyway? i expected bigger name, somewhat like kongo or herring or even crocop! he's a former ufc hw champ and he'll fight w/ this unknown guy? and the saddest part would be it may not be broadcast! WTF! Quote Link to comment
TEQUILAJOE Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was impressed with lesnar's performance. Didn't expect him to win pero did expect him to man handle mir like that. With the proper training and a few more fights, he'd be a very good contender for the heavyweight title. Im thinking of Lesnar VS monson in the near future. two stocky guys with amazing wrestling abilities just working the matt. The mino/sylvia fight was a surprise to me as well. Sylvia was able to maintain, if not improved, his hand speed since the vera fight. He already has the power on both hand and just needed to work on his accuracy and hand speed. His jab was devastating during his fight with big nog. That was the main reason why he was able to outbox mino. Tim could have won the match if they stayed on their feet and avoided the takedowns.

pr0nmast3r Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Big Nog doesn't get hurt. His face is like a wall. Fedor can break walls though Quote Link to comment
IndianBarry Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 His jab was devastating during his fight with big nog. That was the main reason why he was able to outbox mino. it's either that or the fact that he's a big gorilla who has insanely long arms, that'll keep anyone out of reach. Sylvia has had power ever since he entered the UFC, which was mainly the reason why he became HW champ. But I still don't like the guy because he never fights to win. He's just content to jab his way to a decision, which is just pathetic. --------- Mino is a zombie Quote Link to comment
