I also wouldn't mind seeing Affliction work something out with CBS, instead of this EliteXC garbage.

Well, that fight isn't going to happen unless Noons dumps his manager like Brandon Vera did or Elite XC chickens out of the staredown and gives him what he wants.

I'm disappointed to see EliteXC fail, but I do take pleasure in seeing the Shaws fail.

Hopefully the fighters can either get out of their contracts or have them acquired by another org in a timely manner.

The time has finally come. Tonight should be a great night of fights.

Raderick · 11-15-2008, 07:35 PM

I'm going to go with the upset pick, Brock wins with a 2nd round TKO, and I have $200 on it.

Cha-ching!

Good night of fights. Impressive win for Lesnar tonight. Apparently youth, size, and power is greater than experience.

I'll be the first one to appologize for ever doubting Lesnars ability (even though I only doubted it a little). The man is an absolute beast. His size and strenght are above everybody else in the UFC right now. And even though he is a wrestler by default his punches are so dangerous. They are not fast but every punch he throws has the potential to knock you out because of the sheer mass that is behind them.

Impressive is all I can say really.

Big Willis 16 · 11-16-2008, 02:01 AM

I can only hope this will bring Fedor over to the UFC to fight Lesnar.

Given he was in WWE, but he is still one of the most decorated college wrestlers of all time.

Also given, I'm a wrestling mark, but I was happy to see Lesner win. Another Slice debacle would be on hands if he got his ass kicked. I really think this match only helps the sport. A Gonzaga/Lesner fight would be top notch right now.

92 is an amazing card with 4 solid matches, so I am very excited for that.

Ps.

The undercard matches were all awesome tonight.

Yes, it was a good event overall. Florian looked impressive and and the Hazlett-McCrory fight was exciting from the beginning.

andjbock · 11-16-2008, 02:30 AM

Being from Boston, I have to root for Ken-Flo. He's good though, him vs. Penn should be really good if it happens.

Glad Hazlett won, love the beard.

That was like the most efficient card in awhile, only the last pre-lim fight went to the 3rd round I think.

Yeah, I think at one point I had said.... "We've seen 6 rounds of fighting in 5 fights!"

Pretty crazy. But it was nice to finally see all the pre-lims being shown.

I love this quote from good ol' Vincent Kennedy McMahon

Quote:

Critics have noted that many of the fights on the UFC pay-per-view ended in the first round, leaving UFC producers scrambling to fill the three-hour event with content. The dearth of hearty competition left many viewers to watch less prestigious under-card fights and only served to bolster claims that UFC pay-per-view events can often be a "**** shoot" in regards to filling the full three hours.

Yeah, Vince, when was the last time any of your PPVs went the distance?

I feel bad for his family and friends, but I can't bring myself to feel bad otherwise. He died doing something incredibly stupid and dangerous, nearly killed someone else in the process, and could've easily killed other people as well.

Big Willis 16 · 06-20-2009, 01:22 AM

Just secured tickets for UFC 102 in Portland, Oregon. I am stoked!!

Tommysixfingers · 07-11-2009, 09:03 AM

UFC 100 tonight!

I'm looking forward to GSP vs Alves and Hendo vs Bisping more than Lesnar vs Mir.

I think that GSP will handle Alves pretty easily. GSP is better in every aspect.

I would like Hendo to kick Bisping's ass but I think that Bisping could surprise him tonight. Hendo is the much better man on the ground and he has yet to be knocked out but somehow I feel that Bisping's hunger will be the deciding factor here.

As for the big guys, I can't see how Mir could win over Lesnar. Lesnar is wrecking ball and Mir got a little lucky the last time around. I won't be disapointed if he does though.

What are your predictions for the big three?

Raderick · 07-11-2009, 02:35 PM

Lesnar wins via TKO in the 3rd round.
