Pity. If the bitch just used her head she couldve made stronger points. I mean, she was off to a good start, but the follow ups were just horrible.

She was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Can't take a dull blade to a gun fight ...

Can someone fill me in on what has happened in the MMA world since I've been gone? Did that Afflication card happen? Fedor v Sylvia? Any upcoming UFC's to look forward to? Thx

ReproMan

Affliction happened. Fedor choked out Tim in 36 seconds. Wasn't pretty.

AKIRA

I hope Hamill destroys Franklin. I dont know why Ive always disliked him. I think its cuz hes a pretty boy. However, and I may be the minority here, I have never been impressed with Hamill.

I think you'll get your wish. I'm not impressed with Hamill either but he should pose lots of problems for Rich.

Richie1888

you have to feel for Rich hes not good enough to go up a class hamill should knock him back down a weight, but he seems to do well against everyone at MW apart from silva. although having said that I cant see him beating hendo should they meet

When you play for Celtic forget the Jersey forget the club, your playing for a people and a cause.

ReproMan

Yeah, I don't see him beating Danny either.

fufu

I think Hamill could go places in the LHW. He is shaping up pretty well. Imagine having him as a champ?

Your diet will set you free.

ReproMan

I still don't think he's reached his potential, I just think the learning curve might be a bit off because of his condition. He can defintely do things in the Octagon others can't because of his athletic ability, but his stand-up is still pretty poor. Regardless, I'd love to see him as champ, you know he'd be loved by the masses. Hell even Bisping's hometown crowd rallied around Hamill after their fight.

Goodfella9783

I could see Franklin knocking Hammill's ass out. He bounces around with his hands so low and throws that incredibly lazy jab. He's got an alright chin, but Rich at 205 is probably gonna pack some bombs. I'm predicting either a boring lay and pray victory with some light ground and pound by Hammill or a Franklin KO.

I like Hammill though, hate to see him lose. That controversial decision loss to Bisping had me furious.

CORUM

why did someone say rich was not good enough to go up to 205? thats where he started!!!! and he only lost to machida at 205!

Goodfella9783

He's definately good enough to compete, but the talent at 205 is so deep who knows how much a of a legit shot he has at getting that belt. We'll see how his first couple fights go. He pretty much had no choice because Anderson has his number big time.

Thanks for the update. The UFC card looks nice. I hope Liddell knocks out Rashad.

Goodfella9783

Me too. Never really been a fan of Rashad. What nerve he had to nickname himself "sugar."

Richie1888

Rashad couldnt get anywhere against Tito infact was lucky to get a draw and we ve all seen what Liddell did to bobble head so it should be pretty straight forward for him .

id imagine liddell will have the belt back soon

When you play for Celtic forget the Jersey forget the club, your playing for a people and a cause.

ReproMan

It sure looks like they are setting it up for him.

Richie1888

then hopefully Rampage can get his shit together and we can see them go at it again.

if im honnest if liddell is the champ again there are more top fights to see than if forrest has it, a fight id love to see would be machida against liddell, thats if machida can get by silva seems to be not bad himself

another interesting thought what happens if the unlikely happens and rashad wins does he get a title shot and does that give forest more of chance at a title defence

When you play for Celtic forget the Jersey forget the club, your playing for a people and a cause.

ReproMan

I'm pretty sure they put Rashad in against Chuck to make sure he doesn't get a title shot. All signs are pointing to a Forrest/Chuck title fight for NYE. It would definitely be one of the biggest fights ever and the biggest card ever if GSP signs to fight BJ Penn.

I think Silva is the second most overrated fighter in the UFC, right behind Roger Huerta. I can't wait until Machida embarrasses him.

AKIRA

I like Silva.

Richie1888

ye that would be the best double main event i can think of there ever being

i like silva but ive seen him rocked a few times very easily, on one hand he has came back to win strongly each time on the other hand he was rocked very easily and good fighters wouldnt get in that much bother so easily.

his ground and pound on houston was the best I can remeber in recent times

but machida will dance around him all night then it ll be him next on the LHW 1 contenders list

Huerta getting done by Florian was graet been waiting for that for a while he had nothing to offer that whole fight and that froint kick he took to the chin was great kenny made him look like an ass.

according to sherdog all the gears are in motion for fedor v couture as soon as he sorts out his legal stuff.

ReproMan

Which one though? I'm talking about Thiago.

Yeah but Houston has zero chin and zero ground game.

Richie1888

Thiago it is

but after being pounded on the ground like that it doesnt matter how good ur chin is the lights go out

i do agree his chin isnt good Irwin will testify to that

I meant Wanderlei.

ReproMan

Yeah, that's what I thought. Wanderlei is fighting in December, but no opponent has been named. Machida fights Thiago @ 89. (Too many goddamn Silva's)

Wanderlei is one of my favorites.

Goodfella9783

I've been wanting to see Wanderlei against Vera.

ReproMan

Yeah, that would be a good one. For now we'll just have to settle for Vera beating up on Jardine.

BoneCrusher

Forrest? He's got a belt. Nobody talks about 'ol Forrest now.

fufu

I'm not that interested in seeing Forrest be the champ. Sure, he deserves it after beating Rampage, not so sure he was entitled to the shot but so be it.

I'm not interested in seeing Forrest fight the best LHW's. I'd much rather see Rampage face the best LHW's. Just stylistically I don't like watching Forrest fight. I haven't heard any talk of him fighting before the year is up but hopefully they stick him on the rumored stacked december card.
