Carlito- Do you know if that means that the Canadians will get delayed too?

 

Nope, because we get to watch it on the Fight Network not FSN...

 

I just check my digital cable box to confirm it, and yes I'm right... We Canadians get it live on the Fight Network :headbang:

Is he still putting on entertaining fights?

 

Not lately.

 

Horn's now 7-6 in the UFC. I think they gotta cut ties with him if he doesn't win this one. He's a legend in my book for his work ethic, but he doesn't look like a threat to any top guys

You'd be bitter if MMA ruined your life too.

 

Sanchez/Alves is off for UFC 89, by the way... officially replaced on the card by Machida/Silva. Would have been awesome to have both of those on free tv but oh well.

Posted

Even without Diego/Alves that's still a very solid card.

 

So, I've been thinking about the possibility that Anderson comes out unscathed against Irvin and fight Okami in September and I've come to the conclusion that it ain't happening. I just can't see Silva doing a title defense just under a month after the Irvin fight. If anything it might be a good idea to make Silva/Okami the headliner for the 89 card as UFC's primary concern was that a fight between two foreigners for a title wouldn't draw so giving it away on free tv could be an option. Hell, if they were willing to give away Hendo/Page on Spike there's no reason Silva vs Okami wouldn't work.

Tyson should have been in this number one contender match before Florian. One close loss on his record and that's it.

 

And a controversial desicion against Clay Guida...

 

Kenny Florian finishes fights, where as Tyson Griffin grinds out desicions... Which is why Florian ranked higher.

Personally I think Tyson Griffin needs to suck it up, drop to 145 and give us the fight the WEC can promote like no other.

 

The first fight with Urijah was pretty damn good, IIRC it was pretty even until Tyson caught him. The rematch needs to happen.

 

I also think Tyson should just be at 145 in general. That probably won't happen until he loses a few in a row, though.

Posted

In my opinion, Tyson's current standing in the lightweight division is the furthest he'll ever get. I can't see him defeating ANY of the top guys right now. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I think he ends up finding a home at 145.

 

Speaking of 145...Leonard Garcia vs. Jens Pulver on September 10th. Add that to Urijah/Mike Brown and Sonnen/Filho 2 and we're looking at another banging WEC card.
