Sonnen

Fitch

Hughes

Nelson

[anatoly]

there was a commercial on balls that said GSP was coming to manila soon. can anyone confirm/debunk this??

 

oh and the winner of fitch vs. alves gets another shot at the welterweight kingpin. from fitch's standpoint it makes sense (it will be 5 straight wins if he can beat thiago), but for alves? i would've thought he'd need at least another win (assuming he beats fitch) before being considered the top contender.

Can't freaking wait for this PPV..

 

The pre-fight press conference for UFC 117 was really interesting..

 

Winner of Jon Fitch vs Thiago Alves will get winner of GSP vs Koscheck (and Dana said that Fitch will fight Koscheck if they both win)..

Dos Santos vs Nelson winner will fight Brock vs Cain winner..

Almeida out for revenge on Hughes after beating Renzo Gracie (Almeida's mentor)

 

The best part for me was Thiago Alves' reaction to every trash talk that Chael threw at Anderson, he was laughing his ass off.. LOL..

Roger Huerta in a street fight

f#&k Yeah!! That dude deserves an ass-whooping and Roger delivered it to him.. Punching a girl in the face, what a douche!

 

Roger Huerta has done what every guy should do.. Of course not everyone in there was willing to take on that douche because he is huge. And Roger beat his freaking ass.

 

Though I must say the stomp to the face was over the top.

Alves missed weight (AGAIN!) by 1/2 pound.. will surrender 20% of his salary to Fitch..

Damn It!! So Close Sonnen, so close!!

 

Luckily for Anderson, Sonnen is the last dominant wrestler in that division. Now, if he moves to LHW, that's a whole different story..

[tamago]

Damn, after 4+ rounds of getting his ass kicked, Silva found an opening and submitted Sonnen in the last round. Surprising that Sonnen knocked down Silva several times with his punches

 

So close yet so far for Sonnen

[The_Blade]

gess kagigising ko lang napagod ako sa kapapanood. UFC 117, the best matches so far! 1 cant take a break the whole fights, lahat panalo ang laban!

 

chael got what he said. hole in the face and retire in 5th round, HAHAHA.

 

common denominator with the other losers, so near yet so far, all brawn no brain or brain lost! full of ego and corner mistakes, well in fairness he didnot run away in the 5th round to win the title.

 

ANDERSON is the best and he got many S's. skill, smart and can take the Shots ! super human endurance (broken ribs pa into the fight). SIMPLY the best! cant stop thinking maybe he is juiced! man, di manlang naputukan o nabukulan ang ulo sa dami ng tinangap. he has taken more than ever shots in all his fights including what he has given! siko lang ni jones ang makabasag ng mukha ni anderson.si john jones lang siguro unang makatalo sa kanya. the bone looks like anderson jr in his last fight. (monkey style)

Davao muna. Aug 22nd. 2nd time at Digmaan sa Davao. Last time URCC was in Cebu was during the Sinulog. Tom Woodfin from Deftac Cebu headkicked KO'd Razzi Jbarri in the main event.

Lame...Almieda got knocked, and submitted by hughes! thats one lame loss from a 4x BJJ champion!

 

Yeah and from an unusual position too. The front face lock. Just shows you how strong Matt Hughes can squeeze on your neck.

 

The triangle choke was there all night long for Anderson Silva in the main event. Almost the entire time during the Sonnen GNP he retained wrist control of that arm. What a way and what a time to pull it off though.

[Olympus]

Silva's weaknesses have been exposed... now its up to his next opponenent (Belfort) to capitalize on them

[anatoly]

very disappointing main event. i really thought sonnen had it in the bag, and he may well have won if he didn't become careless. it was quite apparent that silva was just waiting for the opening. dammit 4 rounds of domination and he just had to fall short. so close yet so far. it was too good to be true. sonnen whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???? then again 8 of sonnen's 11 losses have all come by way of submission, so why am i even surprised he got submitted

 

alves didn't look like the alves that fought GSP or koscheck. cage rust could possibly have been an issue and most likely the gigantic amount of weight he had to cut as well. it's also interesting to note koscheck could not take down alves but fitch took him down almost at will and kos is the better wrestler. meh i guess i'd prefer to watch GSP vs Fitch 2 rather than GSP against alves again. let's see how much fitch has improved. his boxing definitely looked more crisp against alves, but i'm more interested to see how he deals with GSP's wrestling more than anything else.

 

was happy to see matt hughes win the way he did. he's got to be one of the most boring fighters out there, especially with his lame boxing skills. so to see him get a stoppage is always a bonus. i thought it was amusing how the submission expert got submitted. yeah yeah i know he got rocked by the left hook but still

 

man can roy nelson take a punch! good thing dos santos did not gas in the 1st after the barrage of punches he unleashed. it may have been an entirely different story if he did gas but credit roy nelson for being one tough sob. looks like cain is next in line for a title shot.

 

 

good card but the main event really ruined it for me
