i'll try to avoid this thread til i see the card. i like to be a surprised boy

[sniper]

I only buy it if i'm watching live, I can never keep my eyes off the results if I don't, so it's pointless, hopefully tonight I get so drunk i forget there's a fight so tomorrow it's like oooOOoooOO there was a UFC last night!!! *runs to computer*

[Cromwell]

Starting it early as usual. I can't watch it live tonite I gotta work:icon_cry: does tvu replay it? I should be home around 1am. someone has to take over for me posting incessantly:action-sm

Gonna miss ya here, bro.

I got your back as far as the "incessant posting" goes :rolleyes::D

I'm so psyched for Fitch-St. Pierre. Moreso than any other fight in a long time.

Then I want to see Kenny Kenflo defeat Huerta.

Then - I suppose I'm curious to see how Lesnar has improved as far as ju-jitsu defense goes.

[Jims Rottweiler]

I'm so psyched for Fitch-St. Pierre.

Prediction? I like GSP.

[Cromwell]

Prediction? I like GSP.

Rooting interest? I want Fitch to win. I love the whole hard working midwestern guy story. Sure, GSP is brilliant - in all aspects of the game. And there's nothing not to like. Respectful and a joy to watch.

But - I want the over-achieving hard worker to win it.

As for predictions? I don't predict. The fights are decided at that space in time in the Octagon. I would like to see a 5 round war, though. :icon_cool

Yeah. I don't see Fitch beating him. But I didn't think anybody (other than Fedor) would beat Crocop. I'm looking forward to a great fight. I wanna see Lesnar do well, too. They should have groomed him though. You can't expect a pro wrestler to compete without much more training.

[Cromwell]

Yeah. I don't see Fitch beating him.


If anyone can beat GSP, its Fitch. GSP will not be able to physically dominate the takedown/balance aspects against Fitch, that he has done with other great wrestlers (like Hughes and Koscheck, who are smaller than him). Fitch is just as big all around and might actually be bigger.




But I didn't think anybody (other than Fedor) would beat Crocop.


Right. Anything can happen. Did anyone think Randy Coture would do the things he did?



I'm looking forward to a great fight. I wanna see Lesnar do well, too. They should have groomed him though. You can't expect a pro wrestler to compete without much more training.

He such a physical beast, though.

Can't wait.

This first fight looks good now too.

[burky79]

Jason has surprised me with the counters! he's improved a lot

btw, howdee all!

[Jims Rottweiler]

Wow. Great round.

[burky79]

what a first round!

[Cromwell]

What a fucking round!

[Jims Rottweiler]

Another good round but McDonald is gonna need a miracle to win.

[burky79]

this is what i watch for.

[Cromwell]

His corner is really reading MacDonald the riot act :) Saying he needs to keep it standing.

[burky79]

almost submit, reversal, repeat

i love this!

[Jims Rottweiler]

Rogan says Maia looks tired...Yeah, and I'll bet his elbows are sore.

[burky79]

jmac tap

still a great fight!

[Gotti420]

Nice sub by Maia. Very exciting fight.

[Jims Rottweiler]

jmac tap

still a great fight!

Yep. Great fight.

[Cromwell]

Good match

[Jims Rottweiler]

Next up Gamburyan v Emerson.

[ThatsNotFunny]

Good first fight so far

[Cromwell]

Nah! Its Ken-Flo! :)

[Gotti420]

I really hope kenny kicks huerta's ass

[Jims Rottweiler]

Nah! Its Ken-Flo! :)

Yeah, I stink.

[Chino Kapone]

Go Huerta!!

[askewcore]

This seems waaaaay too early in the card for this matchup. I'm expecting this to be the fight of night. I want Ken-Flo to take it, but think Huerta has a better chance. Should be a fucking war. Lets do it.

[ThatsNotFunny]

holy shit, full mount already from Huerta

[Cherry Pie]

comon kenny!

[burky79]

nice knee!

[Cherry Pie]

this is my first ppv

[Cromwell]

Who do you give that first round to?

[Jims Rottweiler]

I give the first to Huerta by a small margin.

[Gotti420]

round 1 goes to florian, I think

[Cromwell]

I'd like to see Kenny throw more strikes. Where's those elbows?

[burky79]

k-flo fighting for the takedown!

determination!

[burky79]

crom, 1st to huerta btw. just becasue of control and defense. my .02

[Cherry Pie]

the other guy takes that one

[Cromwell]

Round 2 to Florian

[burky79]

nice! k-flo round 2.

1-1

[Jims Rottweiler]

Tough fight to score. I give the second round to Florian but barely.

[Cherry Pie]

is it gonna be a tie?

[burky79]

nice straight kick!

[burky79]

Huerta's gotta finish to get it!

[ThatsNotFunny]

kenny's taking this shit

[Cromwell]

The foot fist way, baby!

[burky79]

k-flo with some bombs at the end!

k-flo has to have it.

YAahooo

[Gotti420]

I'd give the win to Florian

[Jims Rottweiler]

Yep. Florian should get the decision. Close fight.

[ThatsNotFunny]

The foot fist way, baby!

damn, you just reminded me that I got to see this movie

[Cromwell]

30-27

He took all three rounds

[burky79]

is lesnar - herring next already?

dont think k-flo got the first, but didn't matter

[Jims Rottweiler]

is lesnar - herring next already?

Or Gamburyan Emerson

[Cromwell]

How did Jorge Rivera lose his 17 year old daughter?

[Cherry Pie]

o boy o boy o boy

[Jims Rottweiler]

30-27

He took all three rounds

The fight was much closer than the score.

[Chino Kapone]

How terrible is Lesnars tattoo?

And whos fucking bright idea was it to have Florian/Huerta before Gamburyan/Emerson? WTF? "whaa"

[Cherry Pie]

lesnar in 50 seconds i think ko

[Cherry Pie]

How terrible is Lesnars tattoo?

And whos fucking bright idea was it to have Florian/Huerta before Gamburyan/Emerson? WTF? "whaa"

his tattoos were cool then he got two fists holding a wire then he ruuuuuuuned his chest with a huge cock/sword

[Cromwell]

And whos fucking bright idea was it to have Florian/Huerta before Gamburyan/Emerson? WTF? "whaa"


I think they wanted to put a Marquee fight up early. I have no problem with that.

[Chino Kapone]

his tattoos were cool then he got two fists holding a wire then he ruuuuuuuned his chest with a huge cock/sword

Thats what Im saying. I remeber when he first entered the WWE. That big ass back tat was cool.

The rest are shit. Especially his chest... gawd thats terrible...

[Cherry Pie]

[burky79]

[Cherry Pie]

[Jims Rottweiler]

Yeah, just said she died suddenly after being "stricken."

[burky79]

i pick manny in this one.

[Cromwell]

"Bad Elf" - lol :)

[ThatsNotFunny]

it's good to see Mannie back, I remember him from TUC. He wins.

1 second after I posted this, he lost. Fuck Mannie.

[Jims Rottweiler]

i say emerson wins because he has a cool name

Not as good as Manvel the anvil.

[Cromwell]

lOL!

So much for the bad elf.

[Chino Kapone]

What just happened? "whaa"

[burky79]

D'oh

Rob! that was quick

[Chino Kapone]

Looks like we may get some undercards...

[Cherry Pie]

ha im a good picker!

[Cromwell]

What just happened? "whaa"

Good riddance to that troll. He's a terrible representation of the sport. He belongs in the circus or something.

[Cherry Pie]

did his shirt say condom depot?

[Cromwell]

Yeah, just said she died suddenly after being "stricken."

Bizarre.

Thanks for the research, guys.

I feel bad for the guy.

[Jims Rottweiler]

When did Kongo beat Crocop?

[Cherry Pie]

i pick the Norway guy because hes gonna have a funny interview after

[Cherry Pie]

uh never mind that guys scary

[Jims Rottweiler]

Damn, I wouldn't want to meet Kongo in a dark alley. Or even a 7-11 for that matter.

[Jims Rottweiler]

The Viking is going down to King Kong.

[burky79]

When did Kongo beat Crocop?

75 by decision
http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cheick-Kongo-2193

[Cromwell]

When did Kongo beat Crocop?

Cro-cop looked like crap in that fight. That was part of the whole Mirko downfall. Guess he needs the roids . . .

[Cherry Pie]

ouch

[burky79]

kongo with the beat down!

8 seconds left too.

other dude looked weak and unable to handle kongo size!

[Cherry Pie]

Round 1 to Lesnar - 10-8!

Yep

[Cromwell]

Lesnar is just *smothering* Herring

[Cromwell]

Another 10-8 round to Lesnar. Herring has done *nothing*

[Jims Rottweiler]

Another dominant Lesnar round. Herring is just a punching bag.

[Jims Rottweiler]

Lesnar has to learn how to finish.

[Cherry Pie]

[Cherry Pie]

THAT WAS AWESOME! and sable wasn't to bad either

[Jims Rottweiler]

Awfully big belly button there.

LOL its a fetus

[burky79]

the fitch guard...

[burky79]

bombs!

[Cromwell]

Wow. GSP is amazing

[Jims Rottweiler]

Wow. GSP is amazing

Could be the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC.

[burky79]

how did he survive that round. he looked worn the f out

[Cromwell]

how did he survive that round. he looked worn the f out

Yeah, I'm curious to see this legendary Fitch determination

[burky79]

Yeah, I'm curious to see this legendary Fitch determination

he looks more alive now, than at the start of the first.

maybe he has one of those minds that doesnt focus till hes clocked.... like forrest!
:)

[burky79]

GSP's moves are so damn crisp and clean.

[Cromwell]

:)

Fitch looked much better in that round. Pretty even. I think we are in for a war now.

[Jims Rottweiler]

Great round for Fitch. Only lost 10-9 this time.

[burky79]

Hello!

[burky79]

wooops. gsp cant give up the top to fitch... bad idea

[Cromwell]

Fitch is a gamer but GSP

[Cromwell]

is just so precise with those strikes.

[Cherry Pie]

i have never seen a full ppv before but this is awesome

[Cromwell]

Tremdous fight from GSP.

Totally impressive.

[Gotti420]

yeah, he completely dominated.

[Cherry Pie]

i am now a undisputed UFC fan
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[askewcore]

GSP is a fucking monster, that was the first time I ever seen Fitch, and I have nothing but respect for that man. He didnt have an ounce of quit in him and Pierre was landing some shots. He is just so god damn quick. this was a pretty good card, Lesnar was the only boring fight. Wrestlers suck. Enough with the laying on guys. I was surprised Manny got p'wned like he did.

I cant wait for GSP/BJ II

[burky79]

good fights, good nights.

ltr all

[Capt.Caveman]

so far i've watched the lesner, kongo and manny gamburian/emerson fight. Lesner is a fuckin best he just totally dominated herring who is a good ground guy. He hits like a fucking trunk. If herrings ribs aren't broken I'll be suprised. Manny got caught. I can't believe the lil fella got caught like that. Kongo looked good..Lesner vs Kongo? I still gotta watch the rest of the card....www.kfight.net if any of you wanna watch individual fight vids

[JMCC]

GSP is just a monster, he dominated Fitch from start to finish, but Fitch showed a lot of heart. There were at least 3 times I thought he was done, but he never quit, much respect for him. He showed he deserved a shot.

Lesnar was good, but he needs more polishing with his ground game, he has tremendous strength and once he can get those submissions up to par, he is going to have his way with his opponents. A Kongo/Lesnar fight would be crazy.

Now the fight that I thought would be the fight of the night. Huerta seemed frustrated, every time he wanted to fight, Florian back away, I understand that it was a good strategy, but Florian is always talking about finishing fights, yet on this one he was running away from it. I think Huerta just said fuck it and lost interest in the fight.

Gamburyan got caught with a clean shot, i don't like him that much, maybe is because i also dislike his cousin, but I'm happy Emerson won.

Finally, Maia was very impressive as was Mcdonald, the way he got out of that triangle was pure will, shit, even Rogan said it was a wrap, but no, he showed a lot of composure. It was a good way to start the night.

[Capt.Caveman]

just watched maia/mcdanald. maia is ridiculous. mcdonald showed a fuckload of heart

[Griff Tannen]

why no mandy moore? could it be she was with our pal jimmy norton helping him through his surgery? our sources say yes

[mendozathejew]

Ole HGH hands really can inflict some damage with without having to try very hard. Most people are not going to survive on the ground like Herring did. Heath is incredibly crafty. Kongo wont survive with Lesnar in his guard for very long. and the savage had good stamina too.

was anyone else nervous as hell when Lesnar was kneeing Herring in the spine? nice job by the ref. that shit isnt legal.

[still_smoking]

Could be the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC, not named Anderson Silva.

fixed.

and agreed with.

[Kugzilla]

Just watching this one on youtube now...

GSP is pretty spectacular.
