This video alone gets me excited for that fight, gives me goosebumps! Great job UFC!totally agree bro. i felt the same way about the GSP vs Koschek II trailer. that for me is still the best ufc trailer (esp. since i'm a GSP fanboy). i hated the song they used but it just sounded like the perfect song when i saw the trailer.

CorpseGrinder Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Dana White is trying to put together a Wanderlei Silva vs Vitor Belfort 2, but Silva is lobbying through Twitter that he wants Chris Leben that would be nice, along with Rampage vs Rua 2. UFC 132: Ryan Bader vs Tito Ortiz possible for July 2 in Las Vegas If you call them out, they will come. Just like Brendan Schaub asked for Mirko Filipovic at UFC 128, another Ultimate Fighter (TUF) product has successfully locked up a bout with a star from yesteryear now that Ryan Bader's dream fight against Tito Ortiz has apparently come to fruition. "Darth" made his case for a war against "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" just last month. The two light heavyweight wrestlers are in talks to square off at UFC 132 on July 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to a report from MMAWeekly.com. Bader (12-1) saw his undefeated record (and quest to become division number one contender) go up in smoke against fellow light heavyweight sensation Jon Jones at UFC 126 back on Feb. 5. The TUF 8 champion is probably eager to get back on his horse and gallop into his 205-pound rodeo with Ortiz, which on the surface may appear to be the path of least resistance in the promotion's compettive light heavyweight division. http://cdn0.sbnation.com/images/blog/star-divide.v777cf8a.jpg Ortiz (15-8-1), who hasn't won a fight in nearly five years, recently ditched <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2011/3/mma/fighter/122518/antonio-rogerio-nogueira" class="sbn-auto-link">Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC Fight Night 26 in Seattle thanks to a "minor concussion" that compelled him to withdraw from the March 26 event. His last appearance was a lopsided unanimous decision loss to former TUF student Matt Hamill at UFC 121: "Lesnar vs. Velasquez" back in October 2010. Will this appearance be his last inside the Octagon? UFC 132 is likely to feature the welterweight rematch between B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch while 155-pound division standouts Melvin Guillard and Shane Roller are also expected to throw down. As always, keep it locked to MMAmania.com for future updates to this still-developing fight card. Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 totally agree bro. i felt the same way about the GSP vs Koschek II trailer. that for me is still the best ufc trailer (esp. since i'm a GSP fanboy). i hated the song they used but it just sounded like the perfect song when i saw the trailer.I love this trailer because this is one of my SF vs UFC dream matches (back when Jake was with SF), this fight will be very interesting if it hits the ground. Shields can tap anybody from the ground (as long as he does not gas out like his last fight with Kampmann) Quote Link to comment

sujiro Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Anderson reacts to Jon Jones wins and the possible superfight between them. http://www.ultmma.com/news/index.php?itemid=1531 Phoenix, AZ -- English author Henry Taylor's famous quote about greatness was said well before the 2011 sports culture where an athlete can become a star overnight. On Saturday night mixed martial arts top pound for pound fighter Anderson Silva (28-4) watched possible future all-time great Jon Jones (13-1) take his place alongside the six other current UFC title holders. Silva made a rare appearance in the state of Arizona to corner two of his training partners at Rage in the Cage 150 at the Wild Horse Pass Casino. Stationed in the fighter's locker room at 9:15 PST Silva and his team settled in a front row seat around a small screen that was broadcasting UFC 128. When the UFC's 185 pound champion sat in his folding chair the rest of locker room, filled mostly with local amateur fighters, huddled around Silva with one eye on the tiny screen and the other looking for any reaction from one of the sport's living legends. Silva, dressed head to toe in black and yellow Sinister brand clothing, sat and spoke nothing more than the occasional Portuguese whisper to his team as both champion Mauricio Rua (19-5) and the challenger Jones walked to the cage. With his hand planted on his chin Silva watched the first round of Rua vs. Jones in silence. With 90 seconds to go in the first round Jones let Rua up after manhandling him on the ground. Observing the fight Silva in English stated "It's over, it's over," with a minute remaining in the round and Jones looking like the UFC's new 205 pound champion. Towards the end of the opening round of the Rua vs. Jones bout, RITC 150 had to come to its intermission and a collection of ring card girls, staff members as well as Jones's previous opponent Ryan Bader joined the locker room masses in viewing the title fight. A spinning back elbow from Jones in the second round brought forth a moment of gleeful raw emotion from Silva as the Brazilian reached for his own cranium and hooted in delight at the improvisational striking display. For the reminder of the fight Silva sat focused on the screen while the crowd gathered behind him booed and cheered Jones's championship display. When the fight was halted Silva's film study stopped and his role as cornerman to fighters Paulo Goncalves Silva and Damaso Pereira began. When asked to evaluate Jon Jones performance Silva abandoned his native language and conducted an interview in English. "Tonight, Jon Jones he is amazing. This is new for Jon Jones." Silva said "Jon Jones will go on with more fights, more experience, more techniques. My opinion is Jon Jones is the best, he will be a champion for a longtime." With a potential super-fight between UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre in his crosshairs Silva dismissed any notions of moving between weight classes at this juncture of his career. Despite internet rumors or even a post-fight tweet from UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta about the possibility of a Silva vs. Jones fight, the current MMA pound for pound king refuses to chase opponents. "I'm very happy. I have my problems (at middleweight)." Silva said. "I'm very happy where I'm working, with my technique and my team. I don't have any plans up or down. I'm very happy." Iron sharpens iron and greatness begets greatness. When MMA's current ruler watches the sport's fastest rising star become the youngest UFC champion in the promotion's history there is a level of greatness to the lens which Anderson Silva views that moment. Will the 35 year old Anderson Silva ever stand across the cage from a 23 year old Jon Jones? If, you listen to Silva's words, without the normal filter of a Portuguese to English interpreter, the answer is an causal "no thank you". A MMA world without a Silva-Jones super-fight is a landscape that will not affect either man's legacy or diminish the importance of his accomplishments in the sport. - i know AS is very consistent that we wants to retire in MW prior to Chael fight, in that time i believe Bones latest win was against "the janitor" or brandor vera, just a rising star and not yet a beast he is known today..im a big AS fan, but this seems that he is ducking Jon Jones..i cant blame, Jones is the largest LHW in the world, he will have a hard time defeating that guy..Jones just drawfed Bader, who is a huge LHW..but, i hope im wrong and that AS just said that so that Zuffa can pay him more money..wish that fight will happen asap, since AS is getting past his prime..

theluffy99 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 na tmz pa pala itong si jones he was meditating before the fight when suddenly a woman screamed she was robed..so jones chased the robber and beat the hell out of him..sana taga cubao si jones =D Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 machida is a bad matchup for bones jones in my opinionlyoto just needs to win 2 or 3 in a row to be considered a top contender again though Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm not surprised with how SIlva answered about the possibility of him fighting jones, I believe he's giving it enough time to study Jones if and when they meet in the cage Quote Link to comment
