^It's a 3 episode show I think, it airs every wednesday up until the fight.

I don't know what 'main event' is worse, Shogun/Chuck or Rampage/Jardine

 

[battousai701]

shogun/coleman... pretty good imo. coleman can still fight. although its evident hes not in his prime anymore. shogun on the other hand is not that explosiveanymore. u can tell hes still hesitant to go all out. most likely because of his past injuries. everyone is talking about shogun's conditioning and iagree. but u also have to factor that defending a pure wrestler and takedowns take a lot out of ur cardio.

hendo/franklin... hendo clearly won but it was a close fight. he had more takedowns and was dominant most of the time. whoever scored a 30-27 for franklin isstupid. im excited to see hendo as a tuf coach.

dennis kang's debut was pretty good. i wasnt surprised that he got caught with that chokehold. he gets careless when hes winning in his previous fights b4and this just proves it again. he had a number of oppotunites to finish the fight but oh well. its still good hes finally in the ufc. much success to him.


the upcoming shogun vs. liddell fight will be interesting if shogun improves his cardio and is in shape. having a rampage vs jardine fight doesnt make sense.why is rampage fighting someone that wanderlie beat in a matter of seconds. thats just step down for rampage. i guess the ufc is building him up. he should behaving a rematch with forrest instead.

Personally I think Hendo/Franklin was holding back a little since they have alot of respect for each other. I wanted to see a war between them but I guess not.UFC 93 wasn't that good as expected but Affliction 2 and UFC 94 in the next 2 weeks will make up

 

[damnthosejs]

I guess Sammy and Allistair are in.

 

[club29]

ive been waiting for Overeem to come to the UFC for a WHILE now.

VERY excited

 

[clutchshooter]

dana must just walk around with a camera following him.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

at Bisping getting KTFO twice playing as himself.


Overeem signed? Really helps out the heavies division. I wonder how he'll do without ummmmmmm *supplementation*.

 

[Specter]

I hope CroCop one day kicks Overeem's head off. Overeem does help the HW division out alot though.

Did BJ Penn just spit out some recycled Rocky lines to GSP

Its not how hard you hit, but its how you get hit and keep moving forward...

 

[clutchshooter]

arlovski by ko.

 

[jbone2308]

Spider should be main event just because I know he's coming out to do work! Him alone practicing in the ring is better than Chuck/Shogan fighting.

 

[damnthosejs]

I hope CroCop one day kicks Overeem's head off. Overeem does help the HW division out alot though.

A lot?

The guy hasn't beat anyone in the top 10 yet. He's talented but we'll see. I hope he faces someone in the top 10 and not a gatekeeper.

As for BJ vs Dana, he pulled out of the current taping (it's kinda like the Pac-DLH 24/7 special). I guess there won't be an episode 3, but you knowthe drama that goes in the UFC especially if you're a star.

I do get BJs point(UFC portraying him as the villain), but the thing is that, the way he runs his mouth before any of his fights magnifies that image.

 

[monopolyman630]

^ I read that there probably will be an episode 3, with the small amount of footage they have of BJ and the remainder of GSP.

 

[demonbasketball04]

BJ is a punk for that

 

[demonbasketball04]

LOL!! I <3 The Spider!!!
