Gert T Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 If they added Maia v. Marquardt to that 101 lineup I would be satisfied with the top end of that card. I know Forrest is a big name, but I was hoping his first match would be a little big bigger of a name than Silva.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I know Forrest is a big name, but I was hoping his first match would be a little big bigger of a name than Silva. I think this fight makes the most sense. Both were in title contention(with Forrest being the Champ), and are coming off losses where they need to rebound. Winner automatically gets back into contention and will likely be one more fight away from a shot. Good matchmaking on Joe Silva's part.
Gert T Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Is the winner of Bisping-Hendo at 100 most likely the #1 contender to the MW title? I know at 95 they kept hyping Marquardt and Maia as potential #1 contenders, but I took that as the usual "what have you done lately" hyperbole. In an unrelated note, I saw that Stojnic v. Struve was signed as an undercard bout at 99. I get why it was made due to the international flavor, but I think I couldn't be less excited about a HW fight.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Is the winner of Bisping-Hendo at 100 most likely the #1 contender to the MW title? I know at 95 they kept hyping Marquardt and Maia as potential #1 contenders, but I took that as the usual "what have you done lately" hyperbole. It depends on both who wins and how they win, as well as if Silva retains next month. Dana has long talked of wanting to headline a stadium show in England with Bisping challenging Silva, so a Silva win next month combined with a convincing Bisping victory over Henderson, could see Dana really get serious about putting the stadium show together. Affliction looking into going head-to-head with UFC 100?
Lord of The Curry Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 Stupid move. Absolutely fucking retarded move.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Affliction going head to head with the UFC when they put their 2 biggest draws(Lesnar and GSP) on the same card? Yeah, who the fuck is going to buy that? Even if Fedor is fighting Barnett... I'd still order UFC 100 over it.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Posted March 18, 2009 No way I'm missing Coleman/Bonnar. Not for anything.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 No way I'm missing Coleman/Bonnar. Not for anything. The hardcore MMA fans will tune in to watch Thiago go 2-0 against AKA fighters!
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Thiago got lucky. Fitch is going to dry hump his way to victory.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 No one is ever sure when you're serious. I'm pretty sure you could tell I was being sarcastic, when I was replying to LOTC's sarcastic post. Are you going through your emotional mood swings again?
NoCalMike Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I heard today on the radio that Affliction is looking to run their show on free (well if you have cable/satellite) channel, maybe Fox Sports. So you wouldn't be buying Affliction instead of UFC. Me personally, I would just tape Affliction.
Lei Tong Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Man, these networks seem really hard up to back promotions with no hopes for sustained success.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Looks like Dustin Hazelett won't fight Rumble at TUF 9 Finale, I've heard rumblings from another forum that he is currently walking around with a knee brace and he won't be healthy in time.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Posted March 20, 2009 Tell Kevin Burns to fuck off and do up Rumble vs Lights Out.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Johnson would dominate Lytle I think. He would give Lytle a crimson mask.
Lei Tong Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 No way Johnson dominates Lytle at this point, IMO. Lytle's technical striking is superior, and he has the chin and balls to wade through the end of Johnson's punches to try and turn the fight into a trench war. Johnson has a wrestling advantage, but Lytle is hardly a novice off of his back, and Johnson's top game is still a bit unproven. I'd favor Johnson, but the fight would be competitive.
The Niggardly King Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 It would be a FOTY contender no doubt. I could see both guys winning
Lord of The Curry Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 TUF Finale Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida Joe Stevenson vs Nate Diaz Chris Lytle vs Kevin Burns Edgar Garcia vs Brad Blackburn Anthony Johnson vs Tamdan McCrory
Lei Tong Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Nah, dude. "Fuck" is a good call for your boy.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 fuck Although, maybe not. I don't know. LOL
Lord of The Curry Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 UFC 102- August 29th, Philly Kenny Florian vs BJ Penn Lorenzo made a post on the UG confirming that this is the date and city and that bout agreement for Florian and Penn are being sorted out.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Florian is going to have massive backing in the Northeast. I may try and get tickets for this.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 I hope BJ get booed out of the fucking building. I don't think I've ever grown to dislike a fighter more then him over the last two months.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 MMA FOLDER MEET N' GREET!!!
Youth N Asia Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I've been waiting for Florian/Penn for a while. They should be able to put on a hell of a fight. Just a shame that the blanket Sherk is pretty much the go between for title shots it seems. Guy seems like he can beat everyone but BJ
AboveAverage484 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 5/10 Shooto card has Gomi back against Takashi Nakakura. Also, Kotetsu Boku is fighting Yutaka Ueda which should be great, while Rumina Sato will be taking on Lion Takeshi. http://www.mmafighting.com/news/2009/03/20...s-shooto-may-10
