Um is this the Silva I know?! Silva would usually kick an opponent in the head at that point (which is illegal in UFC), I don't think he knew what to do considering how rocked he was himself at that point. He also let so many of Liddell's jabs in! Was he really that 'off?' Liddell had a pretty sizable reach advantage and if there is anyone in the world that loops their punches more than Liddell, it's Silva. Not to mention, every time Silva got some hits in, he let these jabs that seemed so easy to avoid in, resulting in a bloody left eye. Every time Silva landed shots, Chuck landed shots. You could tell after the first exchange that Silva got caught in he was weary of Chuck's power. I really thought something was amiss or Silva was not even 75%. Silva was in perfect shape, Chuck just actually trained for this fight. He was noticeably leaner, and even had a good gameplan. But fuck it...I wanted to see the GSP fight more than anything... And WOW. But was it really a fucking surprise?Doublebase, how do you like Hughes now? He had nothing! I truly went ape shit in HOOTERS when GSP went to Hughes the same way Hughes won over him. However, he didnt tap right? But he did scream....? I need a vid. |

This guy really scrapped for his fighting career and his country. He stays so close to where he was brought up. The UFC is a big business, big income, big advertising, fuck everyone else, soul sucking empire. Fedor said he felt he was giving up too much by signing the contract. I really don't blame him at all. |

Posted by MMA Junkie on January 4, 2008 at 10:48 am ET A fight between Internet-brawler-turned-MMA-fighter Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (1-0) and early UFC fighter David “Tank” Abbott (9-13) will take place after all. The fight, which was originally booked for October but canceled when event organizers shut down the show, has been picked up by Pro Elite, Inc., which will feature the heavyweight bout as part of its Feb. 16 EliteXC show. The news comes from ProElite.com blogger Sam Caplan. The fight, which has been booked for the night’s main event, airs live as part of a Showtime broadcast that kicks off at 10 p.m. ET. The show is expected to take place in Miami, Fla. — possibly at the University of Miami Arena. Abbott and Slice were originally booked to fight Oct. 12 at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships event. Organizers of the show vehemently denied the numerous rumors of the event’s cancellation — only to officially scratch the event days later. Many other regional organizations jockeyed for the fight, but Slice instead signed a long-term deal with EliteXC. The 33-year-old fighter made his debut with the organization — and his official professional MMA debut — with a 19-second submission (via punches) of Bo Cantrell in November. Abbott, one of the sport’s pioneers, began fighting professionally in 1995. The 42-year-old fighter appeared in UFC events from UFC 6 to UFC 45 while making stops in PRIDE, Rumble on the Rock and other organizations. The fan favorite has had little success as of late, though, going 1-7 in his past eight fights and 3-10 in his past 13 fights. The latest EliteXC card includes:

Posted by MMA Junkie on January 5, 2008 at 6:17 pm ET Just hours after MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) reported an apparent offer to Heath Herring for a fight with Cheick Kongo, the news comes out that undefeated UFC light heavyweight Lyoto Machida (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has been offered a fight with former UFC champ Tito Ortiz (15-5-1 MMA, 14-5-1 UFC). Ed Soares, the manager for Machida, today told MMAWeekly.com that his fighter had been offered a fight with Ortiz — yes, they’ve accepted — and that they’re simply awaiting word on whether Ortiz has accepted the fight. There was no mention of a possible fight date. Just a week ago, Machida posted a UFC 79 victory by dominating UFC newcomer and former PRIDE standout Rameau Sokoudjo. Using his usual counter-striking style while peppering his opponent with head and leg kicks, Machida shut down Sokoudjo and scored a second-round submission victory. It was his 12th straight win, including his fourth straight in the UFC. Ortiz, a 10-year veteran of the UFC and a former light heavyweight champion, recently finished taping “The Celebrity Apprentice” with Donald Trump. The reality/game show debuted this week and airs each Thursday on NBC for the next three months. Ortiz recently stated that he has one fight left on his current deal but that he’s negotiating directly with UFC co-owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta — not UFC President Dana White — for a new contract. A new deal would most likely need to be in place before the fight with Machida becomes official. Ortiz hasn’t competed in the UFC since a July UFC 73 draw with Rashad Evans.

Posted by MMA Junkie on January 7, 2008 at 12:13 pm ET “The Ultimate Fighter 2” welterweight runner-up Luke Cummo (6-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) will meet UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at UFC 82 — an event that takes place March 1 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Cummo posted the news on his official website early Monday morning, and MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) recently confirmed the bout. The welterweight fight will likely take place on the undercard of UFC 82, which features a main-event title fight between UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva and PRIDE champ Dan Henderson. Since dropping a unanimous decision to Joe Stevenson at The Ultimate Fighter 2 Finale in November 2005, Cummo has gone 3-1 in the UFC, which has included recent back-to-back knockout victories over Josh Haynes and Ediberto de Oliveira. Cummo displayed a much-improved stand-up game in the victories, posting knockout victories for the first time in four years. (More information about Cummo’s UFC 82 preparations can be found in Ken Pavia’s “Living with Luke” feature here on MMAjunkie.com.) Fioravanti, part of the famed American Top Team, recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with a first-round TKO of Frank Camacho (2-1) at a Pacific X-treme Combat event in Guam. Prior to the victory, he suffered losses to two very tough UFC opponents: Jon Fitch (via second-round submission at UFC 68) and Forrest Petz (via unanimous decision to UFC Fight Night 10). Fioravanti owns UFC victories over Solomon Hutcherson (The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale) and Dave Menne (UFC Fight Night 7). |

By: MMAmania Stephan Bonnar (11-4) and Matt Hamill (3-1) could possibly fight during an upcoming UFC Fight Night SpikeTV special on April 2, according to the MMAWeekly.com rumors section. It’s slated for the same show that will feature the lightweight showdown between Kenny Florian and Joe Lauzon as the main event. Light heavyweights Bonnar and Hamill are both former contestants on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) who have large fan followings thanks in large part to their participation on the mixed martial arts (MMA) reality series. In fact, Bonnar is credited as half of the reason the UFC is currently so popular for his epic three-round war (a loss) with Forrest Griffin at the conclusion of the original TUF. He has had some issues outside of the Octagon since that time, but has returned to rattle off two straight wins. Hamill is also perhaps best known for a loss, which came at UFC 75: “Champion vs. Champion” against local product, Michael Bisping. It’s safe to say that it was the most controversial decision in the short history of the promotion. He was supposed to get an immediate rematch; however, Bisping decided to move down to middleweight after sustaining the first loss of his career to Rashad Evans during the main event at UFC 78: “Validation” in November while Hamill recovered from knee surgery. If it comes about this is a tough fight for Bonnar because he struggled mightily to defend the takedown against Rashad Evans back in 2006. Evans is a sound wrestler and a case can be made that Hamill is even better. We shall see. |

This will more than likely be another 5 rounds snoozer with Tim taking a decision. |

UFC Quick Quote: Brock Lesnar has big hands — needs 4XL gloves By: MMAmania “… [Brock Lesnar] is only the second man in the history of combat sports in Nevada to wear size 4XL gloves, the other being South Korean giant Choi Hong-man, who is 7-3 and 367 pounds.”– Dave Meltzer from Yahoo!Sports.com reports on the gigantic size of Brock Lesnar (6′3″ 265+ pounds) and his chances of defeating Frank Mir at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” tonight. According to the report, Lesnar will pocket $450,000 with a win ($250,00 to show, $200,000 to win). That’s more guaranteed — and promised — money than any other fighter on the card. Lesnar has just one professional mixed martial arts fight to his credit. Cha-ching … |

It looked like Nog was getting knocked out here and there, but if the fucker went with Fedor and didnt get knocked out, I was damned if Tim would. |

Throwing down? He was throwing a baby jab and getting caught every three seconds with a huge right and all kinds of combos. If you can get hit that easy, you obviously haven't been training in striking much. After that he was making horrible shoots in attempt to get Sylvia down. Tim stuffed everyone until the end. Worst kind of fights. |

sylvia has some of the best takedown defense in the ufc. he knows that his game is standing up, and thats why he he works on it so much, just like chuck liddell. did you see the final takedown? it was a pretty technical sweep, i dont know how else you would take a guy down thats 6'8" |

I have to say Nog's take downs didnt seem all that great, BUT, they worked and they worked quickly. I was quite fucking pleased to see Sylvia lose and to know I predicted it. (whoops wrong forum!) Is it just me or was Jeremy Horn's fight the best? |

This was a great card. The Griffin fight was sick. Anyone know if that was fight of the night? I am suprised Griffin got taken down at will so many times, but he quickly got back on his feet most of the time. I def would rate the Griffin Gleison fight over Horn Marquardt. |

IMO it was a good fight, nogs standup looked good against tim (even though tims is much better), and the better all around fighter won.

Couture looks pathetic now... I really liked the guy before, but the shit he's pulling disgusts me... Lets take a closer look at his career in the last 6 years: -He was fighting in UFC HW division. Gets owned twice, back-to-back by good HW's (Ricco and Josh). Decides that HW division is too much for him and drops to LHW. -Gets lucky against Chuck, then pulls a decision against Tito. Then looses to Vitor, gets KTFO-ed TWICE by Chuck. Decides that LHW division is also too strong for him and retires. -Then he waits untill most good HW's leave UFC, and when the division is at it's weakest, with the champion seriosly injured, begs Dana for a title shot. Dana gives him the shot, straight out of being KTFO-ed into retirement. He pulls of a decision win against sick, injured, one dimensional jabber. Then he beats one of the most overrated fighters in the HW div EVER. And decides that hes too good for the UFC's HW div, and refuses to defend his title. Sickening... He should be put into the UFC Hall of Shame.. If there was such a thing. |
