Guest Geordie Boyo Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The UFC now more less own Pride by the way. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2007/Mar-27-Tue-2007/sports/13414338.html The UFC president Dana White now has the rights to use Pride mixed martial artists against the best in the UFC when he wants which is great for MMA when it comes to matching up the best fighters in the world. http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=EventDetail.FightCard&eid=472 Keep an eye on the likes of Cro Cop, Arlovski & Liverpool's Michael Bisping at UFC 70. Cage Rage 21 just happens to be on the same night too. http://www.cagerage.tv/nextevents.htm We've got our own local MMA events too so I'd keep a look out for the likes of Total Combat & Valhalla and support our local fighters. A lot of the fights are semi-pro, but the only difference being is that there is no punching to the head when on the ground. There's always a few big name pro fighters to draw in the crowd so it’s always a pretty good night for entertainment value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sanchez lost his bottle likel. I thought he would have killed him. Liddell vs Rampage 2 next month. Should be class that, Rampage destroyed him the last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ticaL Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Mirko CroCop got KO'd from a high kick.... Fucking sickening shot. His ankle... Shame the Arlovski/Kongo fights were utter gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I haven't seen it, as I was put in bastard work, and couldn't find anywhere to watch it in time. Don't think its repeated either. GSP KO'd in the first round by Serra, now CroCop. Crazy shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Liddell got chinned off Rampage last time (his UFC 71 opponent) But Rampage hasn't been as good as he used to be lately. Either way, if Shogun comes over from PRIDE, he will beat anyone in the UFC at LHW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 My god, Cro Cop got KTFO. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My god, Cro Cop got KTFO. Unbelievable. Caught the replay here the other night. Knocked out the way he knocks out people(Cro Cop). Pretty gash night before that fight. The skinny scouser was pretty good and Bisping destroyed that Aussie c***. I wanna see Bisping face a decent fighter, he's only fought bottom feeders. Impressive, but I wanna see him fight an opponent with a decent history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Sinosic has fought alot of big names. Ortiz ect UFC 72 seems to be pretty shite, the one in (Northern?) Ireland. Rich Franklin is the main event... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, but Sinosic does have experience ect. Just saying You gotta build Bisping up, if you put him straight in against the best he would get destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, but Sinosic does have experience ect. Just saying You gotta build Bisping up, if you put him straight in against the best he would get destroyed. Bisping has had quite a few fights, he's 14-0. You're right about Sinosic, but I think they could have found someone a little more challenging. Human punching bags aren't entertaining. I like Bisping, he's a humble bloke and fights like it's his last, but give the guy someone who will offer a bit of opposition. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, Sinosic has lost his last 6 fights, and only won once (v Jeremy Horn) Bisping will probably have another fight against someone not so good, then get a big fight. Be good if he fought Babalu. Probably abit too much for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good if he fought Babalu. Probably abit too much for him though. Isn't Babalu in a different weight class? I say Forest Griffin would be a good fight with Bisping and would give him a talent check. Take him down and Bisping is for real. Won't happen, though.

stozo Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Since my last post on the first page I've really got into UFC. Watched both 69 and 70 and have been watching the ultimate fighter. Gonzaga's KO of Cro Crop was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzaga's KO of Cro Crop was brilliant. Shocked me when I was watching it. Couture called it, though. Gonzaga Vs. Couture will be brilliant. Both possess great stand-up and ground techniques. I have a feeling we'll still see Cro Cop in a championship fight. The Heavyweight Class is pretty thin on talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cro Crop's problem is adapting to UFC, like he said he had troubles with blurry vision after the elbows, something he wasn't used to when he was with PRIDE. Hopefully Nogueira should spice up the Heavyweight division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Babalu is 205 as is Bisping. Right, mate. Babalu is a bit shite, he lost to Lambert. Rashad Evans beat up Lambert. Evans and Bisping would be a good fight to decide who faces Liddell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, you're right, Nogueira should be able to make an impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans and Bisping would be a good fight to decide who faces Liddell. Babalu isn't shit. Bisping won't be fighting Liddell for atleast 2 years. Nowhere near good enough. Evans isnt even ranked, so he shouldn't fight Liddell. Evans is fighting Tito in July. If Liddell beats Rampage, hopefully Shogun will fight Liddell.

I said a "bit shite", meaning he's off form losing to Lambert. I don't think Bisping is as far away as you think he is. Evans beats Tito and he's right up there, look at Cera and where did Gonzaga come from? There's so many fighters out there that if you have the slightest bit more talent than most, you'll rise quickly. I remember in the 90's it was anybody in the crowd who felt like taking on someone, could. Tank Abbott days and Gracie, who introduced MMA to UFC, practically.

TRC Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The problem with the UFC is most of the best LHW's are in Pride. Wanderlei Silva, Shogun, Arona, Dan Henderson and Rampage has just come across. I like Bisping, but he's pretty sloppy. Gonzaga was already ranked I think before he fought CroCop. Serra was lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
