Let me elaborate.

If Mir doesn't catch Brock in the first 2 minutes with a sub, he will lose. Mir has never had good cardio, and it's even worse since he's made his comeback. Don't expect Brock to just give Frank an arm. It will be competitive.

Tim vs. Nog: Tim will be successful keeping Nog at the end of his punches and stuffing Nog's "average at best" takedowns. This will more than likely be another 5 rounds snoozer with Tim taking a decision.

I'm so stoked about 82, I can't even think about 81 to wager on mmaplayground. Sweet Jesus what a card.

fufu

I'm psyched on the next UFN, looks like a super good card.

I'd rather pay for that than 82, but I don't have to.

I'm stumped on those picks. I got Nog and Mir but I wouldn't be suprised if they both lost.

Tim is a awkward opponent to face but I got Nog by sub.

Please god, don't let that be a decision.

ReproMan

Yeah 82 is awesome, UFN 13 looks even better IMO, but Silva vs. Henderson is a legitimate superfight.

ReproMan

Tim is so much better than people give him credit for. Nog will have to take Tim down to sub him and I'm not so sure that will happen. Nog has the chin advantage and the sub advantage. Tim has the reach advantage, the strength advantage, the striking advantage, and he has very good takedown defense. Nog's best chance to win this fight is to catch an overly aggressive Tim and pull off a sub, but we all know Tim is perfectly content keeping his distance and out pointing opponents in decisions.

fufu

Oh fuck yeah it is.

Yeah Im sill up in the air about buying tickets for the UFN because I heard unless you get the expensive tickets you can really see much, but at the same time they don't come to Colorado often

tallcall

I'm just not a big fan of Silvia. I'd much rather watch it go to the ground and see them fight for control and submissions, so I root for Nog to win it as quickly as possible (If he goes past the second round he's probably screwed though).

Chuck Liddell vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua Possible

Posted by MMA Junkie on February 1, 2008 at 11:23 am ET


Chuck Liddell, a former UFC light heavyweight champion who rebounded from back-to-back losses with a win over Wanderlei Silva in December, could next fight Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at either UFC 84 on May 24 (Las Vegas) or UFC 85 on June 14 (in London).


News of the potential bout first surfaced in a recent SportsIllustrated.com interview with Liddell.


Additionally, MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) has confirmed with a source close to Keith Jardine — a Team Jackson fighter who scored a decision victory over Liddell in September — that he will likely fight someone other than Liddell in his next fight. A Jardine-Liddell rematch had been rumored for much of the past month.


Liddell, who won the 205-lb. title at UFC 52, made four successful title defenses before a loss to Quinton Jackson this past May. He then dropped a split decision to Jardine in September. However, in a fight that was one of the most-anticipated in the sport’s history, he defeated former PRIDE champion and recent UFC signee Silva via unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC 79.


The 26-year-old Rua made his octagon debut at UFC 76, but the Brazilian suffered an upset submission loss (via rear-naked choke) to Forrest Griffin. Prior to the bout, he had won 12 of 13 fights. Rua underwent knee surgery after the fight but said he wasn’t using it as an excuse for the loss.


According to the SI.com piece, Liddell and his camp are pushing for the fight to take place at UFC 84, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, rather than an overseas event.

The weigh-in pictures are scary. It looks like Lesnar's elbow comes all the way down to his waist.

david

I'm looking forward to seeing this fight!

Damn, I didn't realize that these guys get paid that much just for show!

ReproMan

They don't really. That makes him on of the top 2 or 3 paid fighters in the UFC.

david

Wow and he's only fought one other time?? I guess it does pay to be a WWE former wrestler! He should be gratefully that they gave him a name instead of being a bitch to McMahon whining about his contract, etc.

Then again, I don't know the true story about McMahon and Lesnar fall out!

His wife is drop dead gorgeous, though!

ReproMan

Well, Lesnar kicked ass for a minute 29 then got sub'd.

Tim kicked ass for 12 minutes then got sub'd.

Should have bet me.

Goodfella9783

Nog is a pretty damn shitty champ IMO. Besides his heart and BJJ game he's got nothin. I'm predictin he'll have a really short stint. I hate the type of fighters who only go for the take down and completely refuse to exchange.

david

Why do Shamrock, Tank and Lesnar think they can do the conversion thing. Sure Tank and Shamrock has experience but for these comeback and stuff... they always get stuffed!

As for Lesnar... just goes to show... too much hype and all it took was the leg lock submission to see him tap!

Good for Mir!

I think the highlight of that match was seeing Undertaker and Stone Cold! LMAO!!!

ReproMan

Gotta give Nog credit. He took Tim's best and finished it. He called out Randy at the end, I think Randy has to take that fight.

Lesnar looked good, but made a rookie mistake, he'll be back and better just needs to chill.

PreMier

he is a shitty champ because he is a submission artist? he was throwing down the whole first round, and why would he want to play tims game? he played his own and won..

You called both fights!

I didnt think Lesnar was going to lose, but I guess his arrogance got the best of him. I am with Repro and am hoping that he doesnt leave.

Tim did his usual game. 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.

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?

Did anyone watch this at a bar? Did a lot of rednecks leave after Lesnar lost like Hooters's hicks did?

Sorry for the 3rd reply.

Vids?

Goodfella9783

He's one dimensional as hell. I do give him credit for being one of the best jiu jitsu practitioners in MMA though. His cardio sucks, he looked like he was about to tumble down on his own the whole fight. His standup is terrible. He just doesn't come off as a dedicated fighter to me for some reason.

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.
