Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 Dan Henderson would probably never be able to make 170 unless he seriously maimed himself. Why am I even discussing this? Razazteca is a poor man's Tang God. I hope Karo vs. Fitch ends up happening. While I don't want Diego to fight BJ, if it does happen I think they should move it to this card.

Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 I'm sure Dan is such a competitor that if he had to, he'd remove a kidney, a lung, and any other auxiliary organs to make 170. Besides, they can put 'em right back in after the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 A LW fight in Gleison Tibeau vs Terry Etim has been confirmed for this card. Tibeau is 2-1 in UFC, 2-0 in LW competition whereas Etim has a perfect 10-0 record and is coming off a guillotine choke submission of Oklahoma wrestling prospect Matt Grice at UFC 70.

Why must he fight at 170, let it be like boxing and let the champion pick the weight they fight at If Wright/Hopkins can call a fight at 170 and claim to be Light Heavyweight in boxing then I'm sure Henderson can claim anything he wants if he held belts from both Pride and UFC!

True, but the thing was that Hopkins/Wright wasn't for a title, and (pro) boxing weight classes have a much smaller range than MMA, except at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight levels. The other thing is - the Pride WW belt was contested at 183lbs, so wouldn't it make more sense to contest that at the Unified class of Middleweight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I think UFC is just going to sit back and hope that people forget that Henderson is also holding the 183 lb. belt. It's not like he's ever defended it or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I could see that - never mind that Henderson came into the Octagon with TWO Pride belts after the Rampage/Iceman fight. But yeah, I could totally see Dana try to pull some sort of WWE revisionist history with that one. And if he did, he'd be wise to tell Rogan to STFU about it, because you know Joe will yap nonstop about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I'm not sure, but I do know that Rogan doesn't like to have dead air during the broadcasts. I'm sure he'll have something, whether we want to know or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2007 So this is tomorrow. And it will be awesome I think, if only for the main event. Rampage Crocop Alexander and Bisping are the picks I have, and Davis too I guess. For the three top billed fights I want the guy I think is going to lose to win though. After seeing Hendo at the weigh-in I'm more confident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Markme123 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2007 UFC 75 Results as I watch them: The place looks good: Spoilers: Great Fight: Davis over Taylor; R1 armbar Quick night again: Houston over Sakara - 1:01 R1 Pummeling Disapointment again: Kongo over Cro Cop - R3 Unanimous decision Liaudin over Torres - R1 Pummeling Bisping over Hamill - R3 Decision Rampage over Henderson - R5 Decision Bisping vs Hamill This is great! In between every fight, they've been hyping the Bisping fight more than the Title fight for the UK crowd... ...and now Hamill is coming out to "Born in the USA"! Bisping is coming out to "London Calling". This is great. -------------------------- Title fight is up next, and I'm torn. On the one hand, I love Rampage. I loved him in Pride and I loved that he beat Chuck. He's great for the UFC and I wouldn't mind him holding the belt forever. But I also like Hendo, cuz he just seems like a likeable, talented, overlooked guy (and he killed Silva's ass). It would be pretty cool to see him hold 3 belts at one time (I know the belts will be unified but still). Man... -------------------------- One final note: During the end of the show recap I thought I heard Joe Rogan mentioned that they now had an undisputed UFC LHW champion, but then referred to Pride LHW as a seperate title belt. I wonder if that was just a slip of the tongue or not. Please pay attention to the post fight banter between Rogan and Goldberg to see if I heard correctly.

Mik 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 I was afraid to come in this thread. I'm glad that the spoilers up there are in the spoiler text. That Marcus Davis fight was un-fucking-believable. I'm going to end up rewatching that one again. Taylor nailed that kick and Davis was legit KO'd for 15 seconds or so, but the mount pummeling to arm bar was very, very nice. Davis just keeps getting better, I think. And I think Houston Alexander is well on his way to being an MMA superstar. It's a shame he's so friggin' old. But that was another first class beatdown.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) How in the HELL did Bisping win that fight?! What were the other judges watching who didn't score it 30-27 or 29-28 Hamill? Mike did nothing but get in a few shots and avoid the takedowns (though Matt was getting him later in the fight). Bad decision.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Hamill cut him twice standing and had numerous takedowns. Bisping was active, but it seemed like only a small percentage of his shots were landing and he was terrified of throwing any leg techniques because of Hamill's wrestling skills. Fuck this farce.

Mik 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Well, Bisping definitely won the 3rd round, in my eyes. 2nd definitely was Hamill and I guess I need to rewatch the first round, but yeah... I think Hamill got jobbed a bit. And is Cro Cop officially finito now or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
