UFC 70: Nations Collide on SpikeTV

Recommended Posts

Mirko Cro-Cop vs Gabriel Gonzaga

Andrei Arlovski vs Fabricio Werdum

Michael Bisping vs Elvis Sinosic

Forrest Griffin vs Lyoto Machida

 

These are the four main fights that are going to air on the tape delay. If time allows it they will show Assuerio Silva vs Cheick Kongo. Undercard is as follows.......

 

Allesio Sakara vs Victor Valimiki

Dennis Silver vs Jess Liaudin

Terry Etim vs Matt Grice

David Lee vs TBA

 

It really, really sucks that UFC couldn't get Paul Daley to fight on this show.

"And the winner, via tapout... (insert name of any UFC ground specialist here)!"

Very rarely can you put two "bangers" (MMA code for "stand-up fighter with shitty ground game") against each others and garauntee a war. The upcoming Marcus Davis vs. Pete Spratt match-up is a perfect example, as Joe Silva fully expects a boxer vs. kickboxer slugfest, forgetting that Davis trains with Miletich, recently tapped out Forrest Petz and dominated Shonie Carter on the mat.

I may be going to this event. The card could be better but not bad for the first show since Brawl at the Hall.

 

Paul Daley did himself no favours last weekend getting drunk and lashing out at his girlfriend, her friends (one of whom is still pretty messed up according to all accounts) and fellow fighter Ian Butlin. After the dispute he caused last year between Cage Rage and Cage Warriors, coupled with this incident and his contract with EXC, I don't think he'll be on a big 3 show (UFC, K-1, Pride) any time soon.

The Gods of MMA have granted Forrest Griffin a lifeline and infected him with staph in his knee, saving him an ass-beating at the hands of Lyoto. This probably means that Kongo/Silva will make air, unless they get a suitable name to replace Forrest.

I still laugh at those Franklin fans who grossly exaggerate Lyoto's size.

 

"Franklin was fighting a heavyweight."

 

They were the same weight and even though Lyoto was flabby, he still looked smaller than Franklin.

This is scheduled for three hours tonight, so should we expect 5 minutes of commercials between rounds? Hopefully they just show as many fights as they can squeeze in instead of sticking with the 5 featured bouts and staggering them to fit the time.

The angle that his knee/ankle twisted at when he just crumpled to the mat...sweet lord.
