Swick used to be one of my favorites. What the hell happened to him? I heard this fight wasn't as bad as the Burkman fight, but still... just winning fights isn't good enough.

It was because of the vaunted "YAMMA pit fighting" bump. No other explanation, really.

Nah that's ok. I'll just read the thread when I get to work Monday. Only three more weeks without Internet. We should probably discuss if its even warranted though. I say no but I can see why others might. Sometimes you just forget its a European show and stumble into the thread and then the show is ruined. This is far from the last UK show so maybe we can come to a consensus before the next one.

I think that's a good idea.

You guys are killing me with the spoiler text. Stupid iPhone browser can't read it. Leites/Marquardt sounds like it was a good fight.

4 pounds is a gigantic miss for such a high profile fight. It's almost like he didn't even try to cut. I don't get it.

Thiago Alves pulled a carano and came in 4 (4!) pounds over. He immediately joins the Travis Lutter memorial "Guys Who Ruined Their First Main Event Opportunity" of the UFC Hall of Fame.

I'm pretty sure that Sawyer kicked another one of the foot soldiers and not Keamy when he was talking to Kate... that would mean that he was never "definitely" dead. I think it's completely different from Mikhail.

Final card for DREAM4 posted in the original post. I'd be excited for this card if I actually had a chance to see it. I'm still going to be looking for the results of that Mayhem/Jacare match as soon as I can find them... hopefully it will be a fight worth tracking down when I have a real internet connection again. Still not sure wtf is up with that grappling match, though. So strange.

With Trump involved is there any doubt that this is Tito's next stop? Tito makes no secret of his man-crush for Donald. This promotion may have a chance yet...

I get that, but that's the clear #1 vs. #2 fight and after Faber vs. Pulver doubled the best ever rating the WEC ever pulled, they might be looking into it more. Just so no one gets alarmed - I'm moving this WEC discussion to CTDWAT.

I think it's almost inevitable now that Dana brings in Kid and/or Inoeue (sp?) to fight Urijah after the way the Jens fight went.

Thiago Alves showed what he was worth by beating the "welterweight gatekeeper Karo Paryisian" according to Dana White. Can't wait to see what Karo's response is.

It's international.

I thought of starting this thread the same day I started the 87 thread but I didn't feel like seeing my name all over the page more then it already is. I also don't think there's nearly as much to discuss for this card.

What are peoples thoughts on renaming this thread "Mixed Martial Arts General Discussion"?

It's killing me inside that I missed this and this thread isn't helping matters. Lots of big upsets on the undercard, as well. How did Munoz look?

Despite having no television for the month of June I was actually in position to watch the card. I ended up at my mother's in PA and told my friends I would meet up with them after the card. 9PM rolls around - I put on CBS and and they are running a telethon for something-or-other. Oh well, I tried. Sounds like I didn't miss much but I still need to catch the last three fights at some point. If this thread is any indication, this card drew a lot different audience then normal shows. YPOV, stick around and post more. I was wondering where you went.

ok, that's the first and last time I perform moderation on my iPhone. I can see topic is not correct. PM me correct title and I'll fix when I get back to a real computer on Monday.

I can see why this may warrant a thread due to it being a wrestling board, but in and of itself its not really threadworthy. I will say ahead of time that if he gets an official UFC debut (with opponent listed) then that can have a thread.

Now that's a fight I'd want to see... Kimbo vs. Big Country.

If anyone can get a hold of these...put them here please.

Youtube is blocked at my work. Can someone give the jist of it?

I still prefer last year's. Aside from the flashforward you also had all of the super awesome Charlie stuff and Hurley saving the day in Roger Workman's van. I don't know... maybe I'll change my mind but I'd put this just behind last year, for now.

I read this thread on my cell phone before I went to bed last night and I thought I was going to have to come in here and straighten some people out but luckily NYU handled it for me. Anyone who thinks Locke is dead as in dead isn't watching the same show that I watch. Did you honestly think not only Locke but Sawyer, Juliet and everyone on the island is just going to be forgotten. REALLY? I can't wait to see how Locke messes up, how he gets off the island, how he goes to visit Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sun, etc., how he really dies, if he's actually really dead. I mean, Locke was island leader for three whole years. You don't think we're going to see what happens there? Locke was obviously trying to convince them to get back to the island, same as Ben. But he only gets to Jack. But Ben is more of a manipulator and he'll get the job done. Anyway - the star of last night's episode, to me, was Ben, as usual. Taunting John by shaking the flowers, "you killed my daughter", "so", "can I have my weapon back?", crying as he turned the wheel. Dude is a tour de force, I'm telling you. It's going to be nuts that the O6 is probably going to be hunting down Desmond next season.
