He's made170 before, it's just that he's lanky. He wants to fight 205 though so it'll probably happen fairly soon.

 

[his diabolical majesty]

Anderson is said to walk around 2 something so it could be a possibility.. Butterbean should quit and this Yamma pit #%+% is terrible.

 

[monopolyman630]

I read that the fights, production, announcing, and ring were all terrible.

I have no reason to believe Frank Shamrock won't win.

as you were saying?

Terrible would be an understatement! Even watching it for free, I still feel like they owe me a refund!!

 

[demonbasketball04]

The ignorance of non-MMA fans is just absurd

Hey, who knew?
Frank's list of fallen opponents is a who's who of MMA.

Cung Le was essentially Strikeforce's Kimbo Slice up until this fight.

I had no reason to believe Frank Shamrock would lose.

Looks like I was wrong. OH NOES!

So, here's my kiss of death on GSP:

GSP....by submission....3rd round.

 

[bastitch]

So for your Northern Cali heads...

I was looking through Comcast Sports Nets' On Demand section (since I was curious about the content since the switch from FSN) and found events for PalaceFighting Championships out of Lemoore. I mean, it's smalltime type stuff, but it's local. So it's awesome.

 

[illphillip]

I'm debating how much I want to contribute to this PPV this weekend.

Great title fight, !@!$ card. And I'm over this !@!$. There's no excuse for not having better fights to round out the card.

There should have been one good LW match up. Or something at LHW. 84 in a couple of months looks STACKED. UFN was stacked. They could have worked this cardbetter abd balanced things out.

Dream 2 is looking like good money though.

I'll probably get FLAMED if I said I may just watch Hopkins/Calzhage for free instead. *GASP*

 

[demonbasketball04]

I'll be in Vegas this weekend.

Anyone know of a good place to catch the fight Saturday night???

 

[ryda421]

^^^
almost any bar/casino...

I've been to hooters for a event and I don't recommend it...

 

[gothams terror]

thank goodness I dont have to pay or watch on the computer

friends house ftw

 

[illphillip]

Even when I go to a friends house, I hit him with cash for the PPV. Not even sure I want to do that.

Word to B Hop.

 

[monopolyman630]

MAIN CARD

Champ Matt Serra vs. Georges St. Pierre (title-unification bout) by brutal knockout. GSP might try to get cute and submit Serra.
Rich Franklin vs. Travis Lutter by TKO.
Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes by TKO.
Michael Bisping vs. Charles McCarthy by TKO.
Marc Bocek vs. Mac Danzig by submission.

Did anyone watch MTV's preview for UFC 83? I think I heard Lutter say that Spider would never beat him in a fight if they ever fought again.

HAHAHAHAHA

I dont care if they fought at natural walk around weight which is like 220lbs or whatever for that lazy bum Lutter. On Lutter's best day and Silvas worsthe wouldnt even come close. I'd go as far to say that just to even things out a little bit they should start each round on the ground, Lutter onSilva's back with both hooks.

 

[wildout4]

Champ Matt Serra vs. Georges St. Pierre (title-unification bout) GSP with the TKO, dont see him subbing serra. also see a possibility of serrapulling out the upset again.

Rich Franklin vs. Travis Lutter
Nate Quarry vs. Kalib Starnes
Michael Bisping vs. Charles McCarthy
Marc Bocek vs. Mac Danzig

weak card. probably just gonna watch serra/gsp, the franklin fight, and these 2 undercards if there shown

Sam Stout vs. Rich Clementi
Cain Velasquez vs. Brad Morris

Still if he happened to catch Fedor I doubt Randy could finish Fedor and there is no way Randy is winning a decision. Randy probably has about as much chance as Hughes when he fought GSP in December. I expect an absolutely dominate performance and for Dana to cry like a ++$*%.

Tim on the other hand has a small, yet realistic chance. He definitely has the power to KO Fedor and Fedor always has some problems with big strikers. I'm assuming most will be taking Fedor by armbar but I think Fedor will drop Tim and pound him out.

you got to be playing. Tim will get kill by the Russian robot in a min. The dood got no skills. He is just a big slow @%% piece of +!%% that got longreach. on the other hand, Randy Corture got a better chance fighting fedor. Fedor only weakness is wrestling and it doesn't help much either. Remember thetime Randleman gave him a german suplex, well he somehow submitted him shortly after. Randy might last more than one round. He still got some left in histank.

i really want gsp to mess up serra but i cant ask for anything more in sports this year after the Jayhawks win.

 

[soylentb707]

UFC 83 should be a good one. Here are my predictions:

Danzig over Bocek, Sub R1

PRELIMS
MacDonald over Doerksen, Unanimous Decision
Belcher over Day, Unanimous Decision
Clementi over Stout, Sub R3
Goulet over Hironaka, Split Decision
Velazquez over Morris, TKO R1
Maia over Herman, Sub R2

 

[kysl88]

went to the weigh ins

we booed so much when matt serra was talking, we couldnt hear a thing he was saying lol

 

[gothams terror]

@ booing Serra

IMO he puts up like it doesnt bother him, but I think it does

GSP KO rd. 2 and I mean straight up KO.
I had a dream last night that I was watching replays of the fight on Sportscenter and Serra went in for a right hand, then my dude caught him with a counterright, and a left hook that FLOORED dude.

Franklin TKO rd. 3
Bisping TKO rd. 1
Starnes SD
Danzig Sub rd. 2

MacDonald UD
Belcher UD
Stout TKO 3
Goulet SD
Velazquez TKO 2
Herman UD

 

[owensstr8clownin]

I really am looking forward to tonights card. It looks pretty solid to me .

GSP,
Franklin,
Bisping
Quarry

all my picks to win tonight.

very bad comparison... cung le isnt some street brawler they just picked out of thealley from watching youtube. hes a legit professional fighter and prolly one of the best strikers in the world in his weight class and has a pretty goodwrestling background. he only lacks true experience in the ground game.
