i cant see how Randy will win this I hope he does but im afraid he wont.

if he loses a fight with Fedor wont be worth much

ReproMan · 09-04-2008, 07:20 AM

Honestly, I really hope this sets up for another one of those "Holy shit, did you just see that!?!" moments from Randy, but I'm not holding my breath.

Goodfella9783 · 09-04-2008, 12:22 PM

Anyone catch the countdown to Saturday's fights on Spike last night? Pretty good. I want Franklin to win but it's hard to go against Hamill. He's the textbook "good guy."

AKIRA · 09-04-2008, 11:40 PM

What I was thinking that if Randy loses, do we care if he fights Fedor?

Oh...anyone buy the TUF series? I went ahead and bought TUF2 to see how Rashad Evans was. This season is like a giant Right Guard Extreme Sport Stick and Xyience commercial.

Anyway, I see Hughes wasnt a real good coach the first run through and....oh I just noticed this is extremely old news.

My question is, out of all the TUFs, on number 4 (the one Serra was in), there are NO coaches listed as main coaches. Anyone know why?

i mentioned that myself it definately takes the shine of it but it would still be good.

it would be like liddell and silva still good but could ahve been better if done at the right time

speaking of chuck how do u guys think he ll do against evans im hoping for eveans to get his head knocked of by the first punch but something makes me think chuck by decision.

ill be hoping on hendo and hamill aswell think they ll both get wins, will be good for hamills rep if he gets one over on rich.

AKIRA · 09-05-2008, 08:01 AM

I think it was probably just because they were all veterans and didn't need a pair of younger guys showing them the ropes. They did have striking, wrestling, grappling, etc. partners though.

matt shouldnt bother trying to arm bar him though cause that escape rich did against marqurt was incredible.

on another unrelated note what about lyoto against anderson silva for a bout

They'll probably never fight, they're training partners.

Goodfella9783 · 09-05-2008, 11:05 AM

I see Rich finishing Hamill.

ReproMan · 09-05-2008, 12:43 PM

Franklin and Hamill actually know each other well. Hamill was brought in a few years back to help Rich with his takedown defense. Hamill will take Rich down at will. I think it will be a bad night for Ace.

Goodfella9783 · 09-05-2008, 01:11 PM

Yeah I watched the countdown special. I never knew that.

I also picked Franklin to win the Silva rematch. I think I'm just a Rich Franklin nuthugger

FUCK!!! Back-to-back bad news stories here:

Report: Karo Parisyan injured, UFC 88 bout scrapped
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Sep 05, 2008 at 2:50 pm ET

Just hours before the official weigh-ins for tomorrow night's UFC 88 in Atlanta, a welterweight bout between Karo Parisyan (18-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Yoshiyuki Yoshida (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has been scrapped.

The official announcement was made on the UFC's official website, citing a "last-minute back injury" that forced Parisyan to withdraw.

A source close to Parisyan told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) that the fighter "wasn't in the best of shape," but it wasn't clear whether Parisyan's conditioning was a factor in his withdrawal.

Parisyan has been candid with the media in recent weeks about his battle with panic attacks and the effect they have had in his training regimen.

Initial attempts to contact Parisyan by MMAjunkie.com were unsuccessful.

According to UFC.com no replacement will be sought for Parisyan at this time.

UFC 89: Thiago Silva injury means no fight against Lyoto Machida

By: MMAmania

When it rains it poors.

The injury bug has apparently bitten undefeated light heavyweight Thiago Silva, forcing him to withdraw from a highly anticipated showdown with Lyoto Machida at UFC 89: “Bisping vs. Leben” at Tha National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham, England, on October 18.

MMAWeekly.com reports that the Brazilian “has been dealing with a back problem” that will make it impossible for him to be prepared in time for the very important 205-pound bout.

This is tragic.

That’s because the sensational match up was widely considered as a number one contender eliminator match behind the showdown between Chuck Liddell and Rashad Evans this weekend. It was a fight that the fans and the fighters were looking forward to because it would help clear up a very muddied light heavyweight picture.

There’s no word yet on whether or not Machida will remain on the card against a yet to be announced opponent or if he will wait until Silva is ready for action.

Stay tuned for more details on this developing story.

Jeez I was looking forward to the Parisyan/Yoshida matchup. Was probably going to be a sick judo showdown.

Hell yeah, Yoshida was gonna whup that ass too.

AKIRA · 09-05-2008, 09:35 PM

I dont like Parisyan at all. Any fighter that wins via decision most of the time will automatically get a boo from me.

So no real coaches?

As I watched the second TUF, I wondered why I was seeing Serra's poster up. Here I was thinking, ok, everyone is a beginner, Serras poster is up, yet I know hes on a following show somewhere.

fufu · 09-06-2008, 03:23 AM

ahh wtf. I was looking forward to that fight. I'm calling possible BS on Karo, he may have pulled out for other reasons.

Richie1888 · 09-06-2008, 06:25 AM

ah shit no silva lyoto bout been looking forward to that since it was a booked

fufu · 09-06-2008, 06:32 AM

I bet (and hope) they get a replacement to fight Lyoto. Hopefully it isn't some can, too.

I just want to see Henderson, Thiago, Hamill, and Liddell win.

I love Matt Hamill - it takes a lot of balls to do anything like this essentially without a corner (can't hear them so they might as well not be there) to give you help when the other guy has one and seems to rely on it a lot (Bisping).

I might get the chance to work with Hendo sometime in December so I want him in good health until then. We're trying to get him and BJ Penn in to do seminars (both are friends of my instructors from way back).

Heh, me too. I read somewhere that they thought he tried to actually train for this fight and when his lungs started burning he thought he was injured.

Me too TC. I especially love the fact that the fans support him. He basically gets the loudest ovation everywhere he goes. I wonder if he can feel the vibrations..

Dude! That would be awesome to see those 2 live in action!

tallcall · 09-06-2008, 11:42 AM

I know. BJ might come in January, but they think they can get Hendo to come in December. Also, We're getting another visit from De La Riva and will have the opportunity to roll with him for about 2 minutes per person. He's one of the top five BJJ fighters in the world.

AKIRA · 09-06-2008, 11:47 PM

I am fucking beside myself arguing. I cant believe Ice man is that knocked out.

ReproMan · 09-07-2008, 12:25 AM

That punch was so loud! Man, Chuck is done. That's it for him.
