Mik 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 And can I just mention that while the main event is not really a main event this is an absolutely outstanding free TV show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Agreed. Hardy/Markham could be a FOTYC, Marquardt murdering Gouveia will be fun and hopefully Koscheck continues to impress. Oh, and Sonnen's lunch money getting taken by Maia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to me. That would've been like putting Werdum on the undercard after TKO'ing Gonzaga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Tis the way it goes now. Whoever posted the oldest thing on the show in the Upcoming Fights thread is automatically made thread starter when I move the posts in here. The forum automatically gives ownership of the thread to the earliest chronological post. LotC is doing a lot of the posting in the Upcoming Fights thread so a lot of these show threads will have his name on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Maybe they are letting JdS build up and have time to develop. It's weird to see them do that with a heavyweight, though. Usually they rush those guys up the ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Is McCully good at all? I mean, I've seen this guy get outworked and gas in sparring sessions on RVD's webshow with Rob and SAMOA JOE. I've never actually sat down and watch the man fight, but to see him start sucking wind just dicking around with Joe on the mat... he sucks shit, right?

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Well, he beat Eddie Sanchez and Hardonk but those guys suck so yeah, he sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Velasquez, Carwin, Gonzaga, Noguiera, Dos Santos Mir, Couture, Lesnar. All guys that would tool Hardonk. He's not close to anything. Hell, Mir already did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCully actually has some skill on the mat, but is nowadays just an overweight journeyman who gets by on the fact that there's no shortage of guys floating around in the UFC with no ground games whatsoever.

Hell, Mir already did. Of course, if you let Hardonk kick you in the leg a few times, all bets are off. He has no real ground game, but he'll chop you down if you let him.

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Eh. That's kind of like saying "If you let Gonzaga take you down and mount you, he can beat you." Hardonk still gets too much credit for being a one-dimensional striker who's actually limited in that dimension as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Yet, people are still willing to let him kick them in the leg. Who's the bigger idiot in that case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Two weeks. Nothing spectacular, but a solid card for free TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I'm more excited for this then I was for free cards like 89 or Fight for The Troops. Hardy/Markham could be a banger, Marquardt vs Gouveia should be fun and Maia owning Team Quest fighters like it's going out of style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 So what are the odds that if Joe loses he'll be cut? UFC rarely cuts TUF stars, much less winners but if he drops one to Diego that will be three out of Joe's last four fights. They have cut top contenders after much less (Werdum comes to mind) but Joe is a bigger name. Suffice to say if he loses this weekend he's out of the title picture forever and if UFC decides to keep him around they're risking him beating guys they want to groom for a title shot. If he's kept around he'll be sitting on prelims for a fight or two, minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
