maddromeo Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Is UFC 92's the New Years Eve/ Year End card!? They want to match the New Years Eve Show in Japan I guess!? And Wand vs. Rampage 3 is something I'm looking forward to!!! Who's your pick here guys!? Think Rampage's gonna take this one! With his new Team Wolfslair, he's gonna have good training and preparation there! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Remember he is training with Xtreme Couture. Quote Link to comment
Brownman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Nog, Forrest and whoever lands the first punch between Rampage and Wand...Great way to end 2008 for UFC! Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Bro, just a reminder. Wand's current camp is no slouch either. Remember he is training with Xtreme Couture. Yup definitely no slouch imagine having Forrest Griffin, Stephan Bonnar Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort as training partners, If you won't improve with them, then you're a hopeless case Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Yup definitely no slouch imagine having Forrest Griffin, Stephan Bonnar Randy Couture and Vitor Belfort as training partners, If you won't improve with them, then you're a hopeless case Yup Yup. And again no other person in MMA is more knowledgeable about strategy and cage tactics than Randy Couture (perhaps Greg Jackson would come a close second though).

TheButcher Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 As recently as Monday, UFC president Dana White said there were "lots of moving parts" as he tried to complete the company's end-of-year fight cards. On Wednesday, he at least got the top three fights of UFC 92 finalized. The co-main events will feature the interim heavyweight title match between champion Antonio Rodrigo and Frank Mir. Forrest Griffin will defend the light heavyweight title against Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will meet Wanderlei Silva, who defeated him twice when they fought in PRIDE. The Jackson-Silva card had been considered for UFC 91, when the card was slated to be in Portland, Ore., as well for UFC 94, which will be Jan. 31 in Las Vegas. But White said he wanted to "stack" the UFC's traditional New Year's Eve weekend card and managed to do so by putting four of the company's most popular fighters on the card. The UFC has officially moved the fight card across Las Vegas Blvd. from Mandalay Bay to the MGM Grand Garden. Jackson will be fighting for the first time since losing the light heavyweight belt to Griffin at UFC 86 on July 5 and a bizarre traffic incident on July 15 in suburban Los Angeles. Jackson was driving on the wrong side of the road and on sidewalks and fled even while being chased by police. He was charged with two felonies and three misdemeanors and has pled not guilty. He has a Nov. 3 court appearance scheduled. White has said no drugs or alcohol were involved and that Jackson's actions were fueled by "delirium" caused by days of little sleep, little food and water and excessive intake of energy drinks. The latest rumored UFC 92 card now features: * Champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir (for interim UFC heavyweight title) * Champ Forrest Griffin vs. Rashad Evans (for UFC light heavyweight title) * Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva * C.B. Dollaway vs. Jorge Rivera * Dean Lister vs. Yushin Okami * Mustafa Al-Turk vs. Cheick Kongo * Brad Blackburn vs. Ryo Chonan * Ivan Serati vs. TBA nice card Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 my pics.. Forrest, mirr and wandy... 20 bucks each anyone? hehehe i agree lyoto should have gotten the title shot...i'd take you on that bet with the Nog-Mir match BigNog via UD if he doesn't finish Mir standing in the 2nd round Is UFC 92's the New Years Eve/ Year End card!? They want to match the New Years Eve Show in Japan I guess!? And Wand vs. Rampage 3 is something I'm looking forward to!!! Who's your pick here guys!? Think Rampage's gonna take this one! With his new Team Wolfslair, he's gonna have good training and preparation there! :thumbsupsmiley: TheAxe Murderer is training with Xtreme Couture, and i see a repeat of the Wand-Jardine fight Quote Link to comment
RustyXIII Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 It's now obvious, Lyoto is being bypassed for the title shot. How many agree that a match between Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva COULD be interesting? A careful, calculated, elusive style versus precision striking with the two both having sound ground games. One puzzle could finally be solved... Look at it this way, since Lyoto is not going to get a title shot at 205 lbs. anytime soon, he could cut weight and fight at 185 lbs. With Anderson basically going through all possible contenders, a title shot for Lyoto could come as soon as his second fight at 185 lbs. They are wasting talent by making it take a backseat to celebrity but that's business I guess... Quote Link to comment

Lyoto is a technical fighter but then again, you also have to give the fans entertaining fights. Now, imagine if Lyoto went up against Arona, perhaps even some undercards might entertain fans more Quote Link to comment

maddromeo Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Does Wand still train in Xtreme Couture!? All I know he just did a couple of sessions there before his fight with Chuck Lidell. Anyways Wand vs. Rampage 3 will be fireworks for New Yers Eve for sure! Kimbo got KTFO in 14 secs. huh!? What a upset?! NOT! Hehe... :thumbsupsmiley: By the way Lyoto will get his shot at the title in the future! UFC just wants to have a TUF vs. TUF title match! As both fighters are marketable and known in the US more than Lyoto. Quote Link to comment

As both fighters are marketable and known in the US more than Lyoto. Yes Wand still does train with Xtreme Couture. He also trained with them for his 37 second massacre of Keith Jardine. As for Kimbo Slice. As has been said before. I think the man's really more hype than fight. He does have all the physical tools though and given a proper training camp and a good team I think he can be competitive. Quote Link to comment

If I recall correctly both The Spider and the Dragon train under the Blackhouse MMA team. No way Lyoto is gonna come down a weight class to face a teammate (well for the right money perhaps but that's still unlikely). Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 lol @ kimbo And Wand vs. Rampage 3 is something I'm looking forward to!!! Who's your pick here guys!? Think Rampage's gonna take this one! With his new Team Wolfslair, he's gonna have good training and preparation there! rampage has nothing for Wand nothing Quote Link to comment
