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
