Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Leben would go Okami on Swick for the W. Doubt it, there is a huge drop of talent when comparing Okami to a careerl ong gatekeeper like Chris Leben. Mike Swick isn't the same fighter he was when he 1st fought Chris Leben, while Leben hasn't really improved at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a Canadian Sports Panel show on The Sports Network. I don't really like it much anymore, but I figure this topic would garner some interest. If anyone wants proof that MMA is safer than Boxing, just listen to Razor Ruddock talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 I'm actually really surprised that Swick vs. Leben hasn't already happened. Dana's pretty good about not rushing into rematches...usually. The 3rd Chuck/Randy match was a little soon, as was Andre/Tim. But he made you wait for Stephen/Forrest 2, as well as Ortiz/Chuck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 Dana's a smart businessman. He knows that now is the peak time to cash in on the huge feud that is Swick vs Leben and all of the dollars that'll come with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cue_meanie 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 Dana's a smart businessman. He knows that now is the peak time to cash in on the huge feud that is Swick vs Leben and all of the dollars that'll come with it. I cashed in on Swick at Full Tilt Poker. Took him for 276 bucks, hitting my full house on the river! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 I did some investigative reporting... just for TSM. Swick was playing on Full Tilt last night (he's a poker pro now how?) and I asked him about Leben. Mike Legend 24: Swick, is it true you're gonna get the chance to knock Leben's head off? Dealer: Hand #2893327267 Mike Swick: We are trying to setup the fight with Leben. I want it, my camp wants it, and the UFC wants it. Its up to him now... I do it all for you, TSM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Anderson Silva vs. Rich Franklin and possibly Chuck Lidell vs. Wanderlei Silva. That last one is not very strong, but his rumored return is October and they want him to face Wandy. EDIT: And I just read Tito vs. Rashad 2. It's apparently confirmed. ufcjunkie.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Swick should come over to PokerStars so I can rob him. Swick probably plays the play money/freerolls only, and I wouldn't blame him. Lower/Mid-tier guys don't make enough to play even .05/.10 cash games when you factor in training costs and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Nick Diaz is pretty hardcore, but not in a Mike Tyson kinda way. Give Robbie Lawler some time, I'm sure his retardation will develop into Mike Tyson levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to showcase a fighter, fergawdsakes don't put him up against Machida. This has the potential to disappoint, and not for lack of effort on Shogun's part.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) TUF Season 3 came out on DVD this week. I'm assuming they removed all the bleeps so that Dana White's speeches can actually be understood.

I'm REALLY interested in the control scheme they come up for this one. i hope there is gonna be a version for the Wii, the controls for that would be awesome, and maybe pack it with some sort of leg straps that could act as kickin motions and put the Wiimote and Nunchuck forward for a take down, otherwise i am gonna switch to a 360 just for the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 That's the one DVD that's missing from my collection. I currently own 45-65, minus 57. I have 43-47, and 50-64 minus 57. So I'm only missing 4 of the readily available ones. I think UFC was having a hissy fit with a distributor at the time and that's why there was a huge gap in between 56 and 58, plus with 57 being online only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
