ufc 106 was a great card. lots of great fights.

[geneticfreak]

Koscheck is the Man!!! :thumbsupsmiley: He again showed us why he was a Division 1 All American Wrestler all four years of his college life. Great fight with Anthony Rumble Johnson.

 

Too bad both Sangiao and Caloy Baduria lost their fights to foreign opposition last Saturday at the URCC though.

Michael Bisping vs Wanderlei Silva back on for UFC 110 in Sydney

 

 

Wanderlei Silva has apparently recovered from his recent facial surgery. Michael Bisping has apparently recovered from his devastating knockout loss at the hands of Dan Henderson. "The Axe Murderer" just needed a little time. "The Count" just needed a beatdown of Denis Kang at UFC 105.

 

What does all that mean?

 

Well for starters, it means that Wandy and the Brit are once again in talks to hook 'em up in a 185-pound brawl for the upcoming UFC 110 fight card, tentatively scheduled for the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21, 2010, according to multiple reports (Fighters Only and Canadian Press).

 

Silva was originally being paired up with Yoshihiro Akiyama, but UFC President Dana White became increasingly disinterested in the sexiness of his main event, even talking about a change in headliners for the promotion's debut "down under" as recently as last Saturday.

 

Star-divide

 

It could be a very big test for both fighters -- and a pretty clear indication of who's still in the hunt for a future division title shot.

 

Even though Silva has lost five of his last six fights, he's an extremely aggressive and dangerous fighter who is capable of ending things early. In fact, "The Axe Murderer" has a technical knockout percentage of more than 70 in his 43 professional mixed martial arts bouts.

 

He'll likely look to up that "Count" in a potential bout against Bisping ... but that won't be confirmed until both men put pen to paper.

 

Stay tuned.

 

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre is rumored to headline UFC 110 opposite Dan Hardy; however, no official announcements regarding the promotion's first trip to Australia have been made at this time.

 

As always, keep it locked in to MMAmania.com for more updates on this still-developing fight card.

dapat hardy vs koscheck tapos yung winner ang magchallenge kay GSP

[JustSmile=)]

love to see the Kos Rumble match again minus the eye pokes..

 

oh and btw, Kos was not hit by the knee and he was holding the wrong eye.. just bought himself some time to recover..

 

but taking nothing away from him, he did outwrestle a good wrestler in Rumble.. and he got damn paid for his efforts..

 

i just had a thought, how much did Fedor got in his last match??

 

UFC always publishes their fighter salaries, I have not seen any for SF events..

BJ Penn – Seven Defining Moments

 

By Thomas Gerbasi

 

On December 12th, UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn steps back into the Octagon to defend his crown for the third time against Diego Sanchez in the main event of UFC 107. It’s the latest big fight for ‘The Prodigy’ and one which may very well join the seven fights below as a defining moment in his career.

 

Caol Uno – November 2, 2001 – UFC 34

Result – Penn KO1

Penn burst on the UFC scene in May of 2001, when he made his pro debut with a first round stoppage of Joey Gilbert at UFC 31. After following that win up with a stoppage of legitimate contender Din Thomas in the first round at UFC 32, he was pitted against Japanese star Caol Uno in what was seen as yet another test. Penn - who admitted staying up nights with a nervous energy while waiting for the fight to come - tore out of his corner at the opening bell, and 11 seconds later, he was victorious after a vicious striking demonstration. What most may remember from the fight though is Penn sprinting out of the Octagon and back to his locker room after the fight, showing that there is no one in the fight game quite like him.

 

Jens Pulver I – January 11, 2002 – UFC 35

Result – Pulver W5

To most observers, this fight should have been over before it started. No one gave reigning lightweight champ Pulver a chance of beating Penn in this one, yet after one of the grittiest performances in UFC history, “Lil’ Evil’ successfully defended his crown by beating Penn via a five round decision. The loss crushed the heavily favored Hawaiian. “I didn’t know what I was gonna do with my life or my career,” he remembered. “Everything was in shambles. I didn’t know what to think, I didn’t know where to go. The only thing I was sure about was that it was a great learning experience. But I didn’t know where to go. I didn’t know what was up, what was down, what was left, what was right, or what was going on.”

 

Matt Hughes I – January 31, 2004 – UFC 46

Result – Penn Wsub1

Penn returned four months after the Pulver fight and stopped Paul Creighton in two less than compelling rounds. He then won a close decision over Matt Serra in a bout some believed the New Yorker won, and then fought Uno again for the title Pulver vacated, but this time, the two went to an unsatisfying five round draw. A win over Takanori Gomi in a non-UFC bout in Hawaii was a more positive result, but it wasn’t until his return at UFC 46 that people got a glimpse of the ‘real’ BJ Penn again, as he moved up 15 pounds to the welterweight division and shocked the world with a first round submission of the seemingly unbeatable Matt Hughes. Finally, BJ Penn was a champion…

 

Lyoto Machida – March 26, 2005 – K-1 Hero’s 1

Result – Machida W3

The new welterweight champ wouldn’t stick around long, and after a contract dispute, Penn left the UFC. Following his departure, he wasted little time getting back into action, as he submitted Duane Ludwig in the first round just four months after beating Hughes. What followed was a somewhat bizarre three fight string that saw him moving up even further in weight to take on Rodrigo and Renzo Gracie and current UFC light heavyweight contender Lyoto Machida. Amazingly enough, Penn won two of the three bouts, only dropping a decision to Machida in a heavyweight bout in March of 2005. Penn heard the criticism of his decision to jump around weight wise, but for him, it was just another way of testing the philosophies of his first love, jiu-jitsu. “Jiu-jitsu was created where the small man can beat the big man, and I’ve been doing jiu-jitsu since I was 17 years old, and that has always stuck in my head throughout all the time and all the way until now,” said Penn. “It’s ingrained in me that I believe I have a chance. I know that something’s gonna happen, the guy’s gonna make a mistake and I’m gonna get that armlock or get that choke.”

 

Georges St-Pierre – March 4, 2006 – UFC 58

Result – St-Pierre W3

While Penn was gone from the UFC, Montreal’s Georges St-Pierre made his mark on the welterweight division and was zooming in towards a title shot. But Penn, quick to reclaim his territory in his first fight back in the Octagon in over two years, dominated the first round against St-Pierre, bloodying his foe and leading most to believe that the fight might soon be over. No one told GSP though, as he roared back and won the next two rounds on two judges’ scorecards, earning a three round split decision in the process.

 

Jens Pulver II – June 23, 2007 – The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale

Result – Penn Wsub2

Penn had reached a crossroads in his career after the losses to St-Pierre and in his September 2006 rematch with Hughes - Re-dedicate himself or become an opponent. Penn decided to drop to 155 pounds again, and he set his sights on an old rival – Jens Pulver. “I was searching and wondering who I was in the fight game and then I went back and watched my first fight against Joey Gilbert and then I remembered who I was,” said Penn. “I was that guy, and then I started doing everything and getting back on top. It was wanting to fight Jens Pulver again that got me back on the horse.” Add in six weeks of competition as rival coaches on the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter, and the rivalry hit a nice boil by the time Penn evened the score with a second round submission that revived his career.

 

Joe Stevenson – January 19, 2008 – UFC 80

Result – Penn Wsub2

It took him six years, but Penn finally won the UFC lightweight title when he submitted Joe Stevenson in the second round. It was a satisfying victory for him, and one that got him even more excited for the fights to come in the next few years. “Something just awoke inside of me where I said ‘what are you doing? You can beat every one of these people. You’ve been doing it half-assed all this time and it’s time to finally step up and let’s see it.’ If you can’t, you can’t, but at least you know you tried. Words can’t explain how pumped I am about fighting right now. It’s what I am, it’s who I am, and it’s what I want to be.”

[King Nothing]
