Lt. Al Giardello Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 What are you talking about? Okami is from Japan, where the competition is easier.
Mik Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 I'm actually really surprised that Swick vs. Leben hasn't already happened.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Joe Stevenson on Off The Record http://media.putfile.com/otr-67 Along with Razor Ruddock, Steve Molitor, and Shawn Tompkins. 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.
Youth N Asia Posted July 8, 2007 Report 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
Lord of The Curry Posted July 8, 2007 Report 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.
cue_meanie Posted July 9, 2007 Report 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!
Mik Posted July 9, 2007 Report 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.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Posted July 9, 2007 http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...bean-full-versi Genki Sudos entrance before his fight with Butterbean IS the best entrance ever.
Youth N Asia Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I think interest for Leben is at an all time low, the Swick matchup is the only one that makes sense right now
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 Swick should come over to PokerStars so I can rob him.
Hawk 34 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 Any early indication of what will be on the card in Cincinnati?
Mik Posted July 10, 2007 Report 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
starvenger Posted July 10, 2007 Report 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.
Lord of The Curry Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Looks like Din Thomas vs Spencer Fisher will be the co-main event alongside Leben vs Swick for the August UFN. Two very solid bouts so far.
Mik Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah that is a good one. I like Din Thomas. Shogun is debuting at UFC 76 against Lyoto Machida.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 Does MMA have any fighter that is as batshit insane as Mike Tyson?
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 11, 2007 Report 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.
starvenger Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah that is a good one. I like Din Thomas. Shogun is debuting at UFC 76 against Lyoto Machida. Yikes. 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 Posted July 14, 2007 Report 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. And what UFC had the third Liddell-Couture fight? Edited July 14, 2007 by KingPK
Youth N Asia Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 UFC 57 is only on ufc.com, which sucks cause it's $19.99 there
Lord of The Curry Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 That's the one DVD that's missing from my collection. I currently own 45-65, minus 57.
KingPK Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76cxD1D9o4 The trailer for the new UFC videogame announced for 360 and PS3 next year featuring Virtual Rampage and Virtual Iceman duking it out. I'm REALLY interested in the control scheme they come up for this one. Edited July 15, 2007 by KingPK
Nate Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76cxD1D9o4 The trailer for the new UFC videogame announced for 360 and PS3 next year featuring Virtual Rampage and Virtual Iceman duking it out. 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
Youth N Asia Posted July 15, 2007 Report 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
Insane Bump Machine Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 UFC 2009 HD trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22433.html
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I still think he'll lose, but he's got a much better chance than people are giving him. War Dirte indeed.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I bet Larson handles Condit, quite easily.
