Lord of The Curry Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 MAIN CARD Champ Forrest Griffin vs. Rashad Evans (for UFC light heavyweight title) Champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir (for interim UFC heavyweight title) C.B. Dollaway vs. Mike Massenzio Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva Mustafa Al-Turk vs. Cheick Kongo PRELIMINARY CARD Dean Lister vs. Yushin Okami Mark Burch vs. Antoni Hardonk Reese Andy vs. Matt Hamill Brad Blackburn vs. Ryo Chonan Pat Berry vs. Dan Evensen
Mik Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I'm pretty sure Rampage/Wand 3 is on for 92 as well. It's been rumored for 3 different cards but I think 5 ounces confirmed last week that's in December. Honestly, this card needs it the most. 91 and 93 can put out 4 shit-sandwich matches and still push a million buys. But 93 has Lyoto/Silva so luckily that's not going to happen.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 Antonio Rodrigo Nogeuira vs Frank Mir for the Interim UFC Heavyweight Belt CB Dolloway vs Jorge Rivera Yushin Okami vs Dean Lister Forrest Griffin vs Rashad Evans for the UFC LHW Belt Quinton Jackson vs Wanderlei Silva OH SNAP
Lt. Al Giardello Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 *starts doing the moonwalk in celebration*
Mik Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 My girlfriend's birthday is December 27th. Luckily I have two months and change to figure out a plan of attack here. I already made her watch UFC 88. She was impressed with Rashad's KO... that might help.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 Take her out to dinner at Hooters and then act surprised when UFC shows up on the tv.
Lord of The Curry Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Posted November 1, 2008 Can you edit my original post to contain the full card?
Mik Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 It's nuts how fast they sneak up on you but with all of the shows lately it's easy to forget. This is the most stacked card of the year, IMO. Two filler matches sorta as Dolloway should by all means cruise to a win and hopefully Turk can beat Mr. Chest bump but then the top three are all goodness.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Posted December 15, 2008 Yeah, in terms of "Big 3" match-ups this is probably the most stacked card they have done in a long time. Quick predictions.... Silva, Death R2 Nog, TKO R2 Forrest, DEC
Hawkius Maximus Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 I second Curry's "Death" prediction. I, however, think Mir will atleast make it till round three. I think he'll be able to keep himself alive on the ground, and I don't think Nog will KO Mir but he could definitely hurt him. I think what will end up killing Mir will be his gas tank. Nog never stops. Mir...well...does. And I will second the Forrest DEC prediction.
The Niggardly King Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Rampage, DEC Nog, Armbar R3 Rashad, TKO R4
Lord of The Curry Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Posted December 16, 2008 Rampage/Silva ain't heading to a decisions. Either 'Page solves Wandy and pounds out a TKO or Wand ends the trilogy in brutal fashion. (Which he will)
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Silva in the first round by TKO Nog by submission in the second round Rashad by KO in the third.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Rampage/Silva ain't heading to a decisions. Either 'Page solves Wandy and pounds out a TKO or Wand ends the trilogy in brutal fashion. (Which he will) I can see Rampage taking Silva down and controlling him on the ground for 3 rounds... This time no shady ref will stand them up for no reason.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Posted December 16, 2008 No matter. Rampage has still not solved how to beat somebody in the clinch and that's where Wand's gonna kill him....again.
Hawkius Maximus Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 As I said before, I don't see why Rampage/Silva would go any different. Unless you really believe that Silva being off the gas (if he ever was...but he probably was) will make that big of a difference. Neither of their styles have changed much, AND Rampage is coming off his mental well being completely being destroyed. I could always be wrong, but really, history sides with my position on this.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Countdown show is on tonight.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Missed the countdown, does anyone have any online links?
Sertac Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I don't have any online links but I watched it a couple of hours ago [the .gif in my sig is right out of the Countdown] and I must say I really liked it. I'm pretty new to the UFC and MMA in general, so I learned a couple of things. The Wanderlei Silva - Rampage Jackson 'story' was awesome and I'm looking forward to the fight even more now. The Nogueira - Mir fight is hopefully going to be great, would love to see them on the ground and just trying to lock in the submissions. Also, I hope Big Nog beats Frank Mir... a Brock - Mir rematch would be awesome though... BTW: Does anybody what the Main Event is going to be? I guess the Forrest Griffin - Rashad Evans Fight?
Youth N Asia Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I think they're billing Forrest vs Rashad as the main event
The Niggardly King Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Damn straight... Rashad is awesome, and after he dominates Forrest I hope he becomes a HUGE draw.
Youth N Asia Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 I dunno, if you want to go by common opponents. Rashad beat Tito, but only due to a lost point Forrest lost to Tito, but a ton of people said he won that fight. I like Rashad's chances, but I think I'm picking Forrest
The Niggardly King Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Rashad was going to lose the match if it wasn't for Tito losing a point. The spin that Dana and the marketing team was to say that if the fight lasted another round, Rashad would.
Hawkius Maximus Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 The countdown special was really good. They played both Rashad and Forrest as nice guys. On the flipside, while they had common stories, Mir came off as a total douche heel to Nog. The Silva/Rampage stuff was the best though. I never knew Silva was so charismatic. He had one liners in nearly every scene he was in and he seemed to genuinely enjoy the concept of hurting Rampage again. "He knock me down first round. Second round I come out to KILL HIM." Adding "Again" to all his statements at the end just to taunt the fact that he beat Rampage twice. A line about using his forearm with it's tattoo about god, and "tattooing" it onto Rampage's face. Oh, and several times reiterating "I don't like him". The best was how he gave play by play for the second fight...and how he kneed Rampage, and then he did a double take because Rampage was dead in the ropes.
Lei Tong Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Word is from everyone who's met Wanderlei is that he's fairly down-to-earth and funny guy, despite language barriers. Oh, and that his skull is fucking ridiculous. HGH is a motherfucker.
The Niggardly King Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 He looks like a mutated super Kurt Angle
Lt. Al Giardello Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 They played both Rashad and Forrest as nice guys. On the flipside, while they had common stories, Mir came off as a total douche heel to Nog. What are you talking about? He didn't come off like that at all. He was very respectful and truthful in the countdown show. He was basically blowing Nogueria hard, giving him all the credit he could give him.
