Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 I can see Serra/GSP taking on Fitch in August, September at the latest. The problem is that there's nobody around for Alves to take on. Lytle, Koscheck and Davis are all tied up with fights and like Mik said I don't know if Alves will want to stay inactive from now until December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 No way, man. You need to keep the #1 contender strong and not put him against an iron-clad behemoth like Tamdan. Gono said something hilarious which caused Tamdan to let his guard down and succumb to an armbar. Seriously, though... Tamdan will be done with his break from fighting at the end of May so he needs back in the Octagon... preferably against someone slightly lower ranked.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 I personally would like to see Alves Vs. Fitch II, I think Alves has a great chance of beating Fitch this time around... He's not the same fighter he was when Fitch dominated him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 Provided Koscheck gets past Lytle I'd enjoy seeing those two going at it for the next in line after Fitch. Since the Fitch bout Alves hasn't faced anybody with good wrestling so until I see his takedown defense I'd still go with Fitch even with the way he looked against Wilson.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 In order to get UFC legalized in the state of NY, Dana is promising not only an event in NYC but an event "upstate" to bring in tourist revenue. Now - they'll probably go with Albany or Buffalo, but Syracuse is one of the possible locations! http://mmamania.com/2008/04/10/ufc-using-t...rk-legislators/ If it happens I'm definitely getting cage-side tickets. Also: Tyson Griffin vs. Marcus Aurelio looks to be almost penciled in for UFC 86. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 Rudo and I could probably make a road trip down for that one too. I'm down for Marcus vs Tyson. Griffin has good enough hands to hurt Marcus standing but once it goes to the mat things will be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it won't, it will be the same thing that happens everytime Marcus faces a good wrestler with a smart gameplan... Marcus ends up on his back getting pounded on for a desicion loss.

Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Semmy Schilt once again has shown that he could quite possibly go down as the strongest K-1 fighter in history. First ever KO loss in the entire career of Mark Hunt to a spinning back kick from Schilt. That man is fucking unstoppable in kickboxing. He hasn't lost in 20 months.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Hunt wasn't really moving much in that fight. He preferred to just stand in front of Sem and eat jabs and low kicks and rely on his granite chin to last long enough for him to connect with something. Unfortunately for Mark, Sem is a complete striker and just totally caught him right in the liver with a spinning back kick. Badr Hari completely dismantled Sefo last night as he continues to look better and better. Ray, on the other hand, looks worse and worse, and unless he totally rededicates himself to the game, he should seriously consider retirement. Not a great night for entertaining fights, but Musashi and Sawayashiki was pretty fun and Feitosa strikes again with the Brazilian kick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Hari looks more and more like the only person in K-1 who might have a shot at stopping Schilt's path to a 4th straight crown. He looked fantastic in his fight last night. I said this last year for the GP too, and Hari went out first round, but he looked like a goddamn monster against Sefo. After YAMMA the night before, this K-1 show was excellent. The opening fight may go down as one of my favorite fights in the history of fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Schilt is definitely by his lonesome at the top of the K-1 heap. Directly below him are Aerts (has evolved from a KO machine into a very smart and balanced fighter), Bonjasky, and Le Banner (still very dangerous when healthy), while the next group gets a little more muddled as it seems we are experiencing a changing of the guard in K-1. Hari, especially after last night's performance, is the head of this class, with Feitosa close behind, as he is continuing to progress as a fighter. Guys like Leko and Musashi, who's best years are behind them, can still hang with the best but after that it's a jumbled mess of fading veterans (Sefo, Abidi) and either unproven (Pitchkounov, Manhoef) or inconsistent fighters (Karaev, Die Faust). Not sure if anyone will have anything for Schilt this year either, but Hari has as good a chance as anyone but it's still tough to think of anyone who's not a '98 Aerts or a '99-'00 Hoost having any chance against him at this point.
