  1. Dana has premission from PRIDE to show Silva fights on UFC Unleashed, so expect a episode dedicated to Silva showing why he is a huge threat to Chuck Liddell somewhere near the fight.
  2. GSP could've finished off Hughes, atleast IMO, but like GSP said he was in awe that he actually knocked down the great Matt Hughes, and didn't capitalize off it. GSP will be a smarter fighter and he's more prepared. After watching GSP knock out Shrek, I think he's going to beat him.
  3. The same thing with D-Lo Brown, he slipped on somthing thrown the ring and broke Droz's neck. Before then he looked like he was a future main eventer, but after that happend they fucked him over, and had him as a jobber for the rest of his career.
  4. GSP almost KO'd Hughes in the 1st fight and since then GSP has improved greatly. He was to 1st man to ko Sean Shrek, he submitted Frank Trigg, and he showed his heart and his will to win against BJ Penn. I just feel like George St. Pierre will not give Hughes the same respect he gave him the 1st fight. He's a much better smarter fighter now then, and I just feel he's going to capture the title. Hughes will not takedown GSP.
  5. Sorry, I think Melvin will eat Carlos alive. He's been inactive for the longest time. Melvin will KO him.
  6. Everyone knows I'm down. Your on.
  7. Hey, I have a completely different view on it now that BJ is out. But if it leads to Saku/Newton II I'm all for it. My God, Oyama and Rodrigo has the potential to be hideously boring. I don't think Manhoef will murder Newton either. Newton should weather Melvin's early flurry until he gasses then take him down and sub him. Wouldn't surprise me if it is under a round either. Is it under MMA rules or K-1 rules???
  8. Your going to be in for a rude awakening when GSP beats Hughes...
  9. Manhoef is going to murder Newton... Interesting to see Sam Morgan getting another shot at the UFC, his fight with Cummo was very entertaining.
  10. By the way, movin SD! to Friday's sucks for me because I'm pretty much always out on Friday's. But w/e if it's a good episode, I'll tape it.
  11. Your actually bothered by the ticker???? I don't mind it at all. I'm of two minds. I like the ticker if there's a game I want to follow, but I hate that it takes up way too much of the screen. The channel was never meant to carry actual programming. I also hate their crappy sportscasters, but that's another story. I might decide to watch SmackDown if I like the storylines. I haven't watched it in years since I don't get UPN here, and I started watching other stuff (usually hockey and/or CSI) on Thursdays. Yeah all the sportscasters suck, except for Cabby. He's funny, I've meet him twice, nice guy in person.
  12. Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit Get It Up - Sticky Fingaz All We Got Iz Us - Onyx Time's Up - Jadakiss ft. Nate Dogg
  13. Your actually bothered by the ticker???? I don't mind it at all.
  14. WWE has given the main event before a PPV a couple times. Stop making a big deal out of it. If anything it means Booker will win at GAB. What pisses me off more is that, wouldn't have it made sense for Ken Kennedy to get his win back from Matt Hardy making him look strong before GAB?
  15. Looks like people in Montreal won't get Wrestling...
  16. I almost forgot about him, I could easily see him fighting Tito Ortiz in November, but Ortiz/Griffin 2 would generate more interest.
  17. Don't ever compare Chuck Liddell to Roy Jones Jr... Roy Jones Jr has the phyiscally grifts to allow him to keep his hands that low, Liddell doesn't have a quarter the speed Roy Jones in his prime did. Add into the fact that Roy Jones never faced a great boxer in his prime. My point was that low hands and the like doesn't necessarily mean bad boxing, although Roy Jones' insane hand speed did make up for it. But you're right, this is pointless. You shouldn't bring up your personal skills though because like you said it is pointless. But you're saying his boxing is bad which is why he would have problems with Silva. My point is, just because someone has great cred in another combat sport, doesn't mean it equates to MMA. Who cares if Vitor would beat him in a boxing match? If he gets his ass knocked down in the fight, then clearly his hands aren't as good overall as Chuck's, regardless of how much better a boxer he is in a boxing ring. If anything, Chuck beating him in the standup in a real fight proves my point of how a great background doesn't necessarily imply it will work better in a real fight. Vitor has the better boxing credentials and is more technical in that sense. Guess what happened when they fought a fight almost entirely on the feet? Chuck beat him convincingly. Cael Sanderson would own Chuck in wrestling. Put Cael in a fight with him in MMA. Chuck isn't as good an amateur wrestler, but for some reason I don't think Cael would take him down once. Do you see what I'm trying to say here? Yeah I understand what your saying, that's the point I was trying to make. Roy Jones was never a techincally great boxer, he just relyed on his physical gifts, which is the main reason why I think if him or Hopkins ever fought in their primes, Hopkins would win. And no I didn't say his boxing is the reason why he would have problems with Silva, it's more of him keeping his hands too low. Liddell has a good chin, but in his prime, he hasen't faced a great striker like Silva. But like I said, I don't know who will win, which makes me pump up to see it.
  18. No they don't. The Hornets are returning to NO fulltime after this season. Infact they are playing some games in NO this season.
  19. I know I could easily outbox Chuck if he has the same stance he has for MMA, in boxing. I have very good head movement and his looping punches wouldn't connect. But if he landed anything, I would be KO'd no question because he is a much bigger and stronger man then me. MMA standards he has great stand-up, but should he enter boxing, any journeyman or anyone with decent skills would knock him out, most likely. And I don't hate Chuck at all, I have nothing against him, I respect him alot. There's nothing to hate about him, he seems like a stand up guy in interviews(Even though a buddy of mine who is an MMA fighter says he's cocky in real life). He has one of the best MMA career's possibly of all time. If I was hater, I would say he would stand no chance with Silva, but I said the fight is 50/50 to me. Bullshit, he's been in the ring in front of thousands of people 20+ times against opponents that are a thousand times better than the 40 year old washed up boxers you spar against. I don't reckon he'd have any trouble outboxing you and then knocking your block off. I don't spar with 40+ year old washed up boxers.. I spar with some of the best amauter boxers in my province. I've sparred with Dale Brown(Who is a top Cruiserweight contender for many years). But whatever, discussing this is useless because none of you know me. I don't really care.
  20. I've had 86 amatuer fights... and have won provinical tournaments, and maybe a member of the 2008 Olympic Canadian Amatuer team, should I chose to continue to box(Which is unlikely now, because I'm going to College in the fall for a journalism major). But either way, me boxing Chuck Liddell is a pointless subject, because I fight at 154, and Chuck is 205. If Chuck were to fight Vitor Belfort in a boxing match, Belfort would win. I feel if I beefed up to Heavyweight, and Chuck decided to box me under amatuer rules, I would outbox him very easily. He's a Kickboxer and MMA, doesn't mean he'll rip shit in boxing. Have you seen him punch? Most his punches are very lopping. I'm not knocking on his standup, because MMA standards, it's very good, but if Chuck entered boxing, he would get his head knocked off by any decent HW or Cruiserweight with skills.
  21. Don't ever compare Chuck Liddell to Roy Jones Jr... Roy Jones Jr has the phyiscally grifts to allow him to keep his hands that low, Liddell doesn't have a quarter the speed Roy Jones in his prime did. Add into the fact that Roy Jones never faced a great boxer in his prime.
  22. Call me crazy, but I would build Carlito Vs. Edge for the RAW ME at Wrestlemania. After Summerslam, Edge should be champion, I'd have him fued with Shawn Michaels, and have HHH fued with Orton. As for Cena, possible ECW fued? Chris Masters? Nitro? Whatever, he's character is getting way to stale for me. He needs to stop main eventing and be in the upper midcard for a bit. In the mid-card, I would give Umaga the IC title, and ship off Benjamin to SD! or ECW.
  23. Am I the only one who marked when Umaga beat Cena?
