Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 It hasn't been confirmed by Bisping or the UFC, just one of those assumption-type dealies. A lot of the TUF guys went up in weight to fight and most cut back to their natural class afterwards. Diego- Cut to WW Florian- Cut to WW then LW Koscheck- Cut to WW Stevenson- Cut to LW Evans- Cut to LHW Jardine- Cut to LHW Yeah but before then most of the people including myself knew the Evans and Jardine were not legit HW's. Same with Florian and Diego, everyone knew they were not legit MW's. Even on the show they mentioned Florian being a 155 most of his career. I think Bisping would have a tougher time at the MW divison then he will at the LHW divison. The MW divison is byfar the toughest divison and the most stacked IMO, espically with the signing of Anderson Silva(Who is a much more dangerous striker then Bisping IMO). Bisping has shown he can fight at the LHW, and I think he should continue his quest at LHW. If he was going to cut down to MW, why didn't he just fight at MW during this season? Which bring's me to my next point. None of the fighters you mention had the choice at fighting on the show at their perferable weight, where as their was a MW divison for Bisping to fight in if he wanted to. I can't see Bisping moving down, if he does, then it would be stupid, because there is tons of money fights he can have at the LHW divison(Matt Hamill, and Forrest Griffin which would be a full out war).

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I find it more incredible that he calls it lucky despite getting dropped in pretty much the exact same fashion in the rematch. Sylvia's legit, but God he's such a pervy goober. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just trash talk, no need to take it serious. If your not all that confident in Arlovski winning, than whatever. I think Sylvia is going to put an end to this Arlovski myth on July 8th. Sylvia is the only legit fighter Arlovski has ever beaten. And if St. Pierre Vs. Hughes rematch is in MTL, and you and I both attend, if I was you, I'd watch out...

starvenger 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Bisping just looks like a tough guy. My gf only watched the first episode of TUF and then the next episode she watched was Bisping vs. Kristian. She saw Bisping getting into the ocatgon and said "This guy just looks like he's about to fuck someone up." And he proceeded to do just that. He does. He looks like a tough guy that will hurt you. I don't know what it is. He could be a soccer hooligan in another lifetime. According to his bio he comes from a line of Counts in Poland, hence his nickname "The Count". Aside from that, based on his accent, he wouldn't have been a hooligan in England. Ross, he'd be a hooligan for certain, youknowwotimean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Gono also criticized the Jap favouring of their own fighters in the WW GP, saying that the four weakest fighters were all from Japan. He's very honest. Tim is delusional and crazy. I hope he fights in PRIDE's next 16 man HW GP, where he fills eight slots, and Fedor fills the other eight. All eight fights take place on one night back to back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 A lot of people viewed Gono's statements as a pysche-out tactic for his fight with Lombard. On a side-note from that, why in the fuck is Baroni campaigning to get Chonan's spot in the GP? It it was a one-sided drubbing I can understand but it was a close split decison. That's Joey's spot. Phil's going to have enough problems in the future as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 No he said that for the last WW GP. It shows how ridiculous PRIDE is with these GP's when I reference one from less than a year ago and it's actually outdated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Gono basically said that having himself, Suda, Chonan & Minowa all in the same tournament was ridiculous, especially considering that Paulo Filho was being kept in the reserve bout, despite being a favorite to take the whole thing. Only Aoki has been as critical of PRIDE matchmaking since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
