I'm going for florian, seems like they both have the same style but florian's got more experience. I really wish I could go to this event but i couldnt afford it. Colorado is gonna be psyched to get the UFC back.

Diaz is one talented mofo, too.
Kenny Florian pisses me off, though. Those elbows to the top/back, tsk tsk. When he was in mount he was throwing these grazing/swiping elbows that seemed to be in the intention of cutting Joe. Hate that shit.
Oh well. Let's see a Tyson Griffin v Kenny Florian for a title shot.

He was getting pwned until Pellegrino got cocky and got stuck. The flip off after he sunk it in was pretty funny. Also anyone here Joe Rogan and the "rape" choke during the Hamill fight

YES! I HEARD IT!
I dont like Nate Diaz. I was hoping so badly hed get fucked up. Eh, I guess he did. I just didnt like how cocky he acted right after that lock. It wouldve been priceless had he lost the lock then lost the fight. Show him to be cocky too early again..
During the "25 toughest moments," which I thought was a joke, they showed n. diaz talking shit to Karo. Now, I dont like Karo, but Diaz acting like a danny81 wannabe and that drove me nuts. I wished he lost, but he did get some hits..
I think this was Kenny Florians best fight!
Alexander? I cant really say that was a bad stoppage. The fucker was out.
Karo's stoppage? Id say it coulda went on, but I am 50/50 on that one. Hey, at least it wasnt boring this time.
This was Tommy Speers best fight. Hah! Really was the best one I saw. Undeniable.
Hamill's fight was pretty good too.
Ah fuck it, its back on and I am waiting for this melatonin to kick in, so I am gonna go watch it again.

Yeah he was. Kurt kept going to his guard, though. Even though Kurt was dominating in the first I always felt he was in danger if he stayed in there. I don't know if it was a matter of him getting cocky. Nate was setting up that triangle while being taken down, his set ups and hip movements are really smooth and stealthy.

jah, I was wondering the same thing.
I'm really happy Pitbull won his fight!
Joe will come back fromhis defeat better than he was before, hell a fight with a guy with that much experience is not a bad thing for such a young guy like Joe.
Nate is great on the ground and proved it again with this fight. I really want to see a Lauzon v Diaz fight just so Joe can get in there and fuck him up
(which is really the way that season should have ended)!

Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianenko to fight in July under Affliction banner
By: MMAmania
A fight between former UFC heavyweight champion and current Adrenaline MMA fighter, Tim Sylvia (24-4), and the last man to hold the Pride FC heavyweight strap, Fedor Emelianenko (27-1), is in the works for July 19 at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, according to Sherdog.com.
The blockbuster showdown would be promoted by Affliction and air on Mark Cubanâ??????s HDNet network.
Hereâ??????s a snip from the Russian:
â?????[Sylvia] is a good fighter, a strong fighter, the former UFC heavyweight champion, which is important. I am looking forward to fighting him and training hard for this fight.â???
Sylvia recently parted ways with the UFC in a split that has been categorized by both parties as amicable. The decision came after a submission loss to Antonio Rodrigo â?????Minotauro: Nogueria at UFC 81: â?????Breaking Pointâ??? for the interim heavyweight championship in February.
With just one fight remaining on his contract â?????? and another crack at the belt in the not so near future â?????? â?????The Maine-iacâ??? was granted permission to sign on with his long time manager, Monte Cox, who runs the upstart Adrenaline MMA promotion.
Prior to that Cox was the President and CEO of M-1 Global â?????? a failed partnership between Russian and American backers that never staged a single event. The promotion was centered around Emelianenko; however, the two sides were at reportedly loggerheads when it came to compensation and competition.
Emelianenko became a free agent once he returned a $1.5 million signing bonus. And now heâ??????s apparently set to kick-off 2008 with a fight against the 6â???²8â???³ Miletich-trained product, which would certainly be his biggest test since a fight with Mirko Cro Cop back in 2005.
Indeed, Emelianenko â?????? once widely regarded as the most formidable pound-for-pound mixed martial artist on the planet â?????? has taken a beating from critics because of his inability to take on top-level competition in recent years.
Hong Man Choi (freak show), Matt Lindland (a middleweight), and Mark Coleman (past his prime) are three of his last four opponents â?????? not exactly the worthiest opponents for an individual who has been described as unbeatable in a sport in which anything can and often does happen.
Fedor, however, somehow seems to find ways to overcome those unpredictable odds â???¦ at least up until now.
Itâ??????s more than likely the case that Emelianenko will look to takedown â?????Big Timâ??? early and often to avoid that reach and his big punching power. Not to mention Emelianenko cuts very easily â?????? it is the reason behind his only career defeat, in fact.
Sylvia has demonstrated decent takedown defense in the past; however, he has been susceptible to submissions throughout his seven-year professional career.
Definitely a very interesting match up if it comes to fruition. Randy Couture â?????? the man who defeated Sylvia in March but is now embroiled in a bitter legal battle with the UFC because he wanted to fight Emelianenko â?????? has got to be going nuts with this latest news.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Not a bad fight, though. Fedor is getting some Top 10 action.
I tend to agree. It's like pairing up a has been (Fedor - still good but I think his last fight was fixed) with a never really was (Tim is OK but very boring and not at all at Fedor's level now let alone his level back in the day). I predict Fedor wins in the first round by submission
yawn:

Boring definitely, but when I say good fighter, I mean persevering. GSP is a good example of someone that figures out a way to beat an opponent. When he fails, he makes up for it. Sadly to admit, with the exception of Rampage, Chuck does this too.

Well, won't you be happy to see Tim get arm barred?
If this goes to the ground at all, wow, it's over IMO.

Eh, its hard to say, its apples vs. oranges. Fedor always has an interesting fight cuz he overcomes whereas Tim just establishes a championship then jabs his way to a decision.
However, this fight doesnt matter. I say Fedor will win, and once he does, everyone will say "duh!"
Agreed 100%. Tim's pretty tough to get down. Fedor did bring down that 7' tall giant though.

Yeah, and it will probably make some people happy that he faced a top 10 hw.
I never count a guy out completley on a fight but I really do think Fedor will win.

What I dont understand is that if Couture isnt in the UFC anymore..and Fedor isnt in the UFC....why didnt Fedor come ask Couture for a fight?
I know Couture has legality issues, but does this mean he cant fight at all until its resolved?
