UFC tonight.. Randy Couture Vs. Chuck Liddel

[rAJJIN]

It should be a good One! A few others I look forward to seeing also.
I think Ivans ole Partner Mike Whitehead from the TUF II will be fighting
another heavy that was on the show.
Another one I think will be surprisngly good will be Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs
Tonight in Vegas, pay per view is 40$ I beleive.. shit keeps going up
but I still look forward to everyone.

Next ones will be real good. Rich Franklin is going to fight this guy from canada (Tough guy) cant remember his name but he`s no Nate Quarry.]
This will be a tough fight for Franklin but I beleive hell win it.

[rAJJIN]

Chuck Liddell Vs. Randy Couture # I say Randy

Frank Mir Vs. Marcio Cruz # Frank Mir There building Mir back up... Doesnt matter though Andre Arlovski is Unbeatable right now)

Renato Sobral Vs. Mike Van Arsdale #MVA I havnt seen the other guy Babalu much but I here hes a bad sumbitch... Vanarsdale is tough though.

Alessio Sakara Vs. Elvis Sinosic # Sinosic

Brandon Vera Vs. Justin Eilers # Vera

Paul Buentello Vs. Gilbert Aldana # Buentello

Jeff Monson Vs. Branden Lee Hinkle # Have no idea who they are.. Hinkle?

Nick Diaz Vs. Joe Riggs # Have to say Joe Riggs.. will be good though IMO. Joe riggs is just a lot stronger guy.

Keith Jardine Vs. Mike Whitehead # Jardine As Much as I hate to Id have to pick Jardine the winner here. May be the best fight of the night If Mike Whitehead comes in there Fighting (which I think he will this time)

 

[haze324]

Babalu is a tough guy and a dirty fighter. MVA though only has two losses to Wandy Silva and Couture. Couture schooled him wrestling his last fight. I don't see him as that good of a striker. Babalu is also a 3x Brazilian Wrestling champ and represented brazil in wrestling in the world champs...i see him as too agressive for MVA.

Yeah Riggs is a strong cat but Nick Diaz packs a bunch(Ko'ing Robbie Lawler) and he's coming of a loss to Diego Sanchez so I'm pulling for the guy.

Toss up between Lidell and Couture. I hope the old guy wins.

 

[Jrflex10er]

Liddell knocks out Randy in the 2nd

 

[rAJJIN]

Haze my main man! good to here from ya buddy,its been a while.
Man I cant tell ya How much Id love to be down on the beach tonight
Hanging out...Cold and windy up here in my area.

Yea Id Realy Like to see Nick Diaz win that fight.
He won that fight against Diego Sanchez imo.. I was disappointed with the decision and Hope theyll get to do it again! Damn good fight.

I think if Couture comes in in the shape and with the conditioning he Had
against Vanarsdale and he sticks to His Ground and Pound and clinching
hell win the fight Late. If he stands up and throws with Liddell like he did in there last fight it could be another Ko.

 

[Jrflex10er]

I'm looking forward to the Diaz fight.....Who's getting this on ppv tonight? I think I'm going to.

 

[Jwillbc55]

Couture is a hell of a fighter but man Liddel is awesome. I just think Couture might be a little too old at this point...even though he just signed on for 3 more UFC fights. Either way this is the most I've looked forward to a UFC PPV in a long time. But I'll take Liddel in a decision

 

[haze324]

I got a fight party at my place tonight, buts kinda rainy where I am and I'm afraid that the satellite might go out - so we might take it to a local casino and party there. This sounds like an exciting card.

On a different note though. You know I completely agreet that Couture is a bit old and that Lidell is one hell of a striker - but he would get stomped at Pride. Wan. Silva, Ramgape, Arona, etc. would destroy him. I think he's hyped up here and some quality wins, but I don't think he's all that. I think and hope that Couture comes in with a good fight plan, sticks to it and wins the fight.

And for arguements sake, I also think that A.A., Sylvia, Mir, etc. would also get stomped at Pride by Fedor, CroCop, Noguera, etc.

 

[rAJJIN]

I havnt seen much of thew Pride so I cant realy say.
I know that Arlovski is probably on of the most dominant Guys Ive seen though! a Young guy also.

hey did you here Matt Hughes will fight Hoyce Gracie?
Wasnt he fighting in Pride for a bit? (Hoyce)
That guy Man I remember use to whoop everybody! That was back when it was tournament style 3-4 fights a night with no rules.
I heard he was kinda losing it though now....?

 

[Jrflex10er]

I think St. Pierre is THE best all around fighter in the world right now....Guy is impressive and can beat you from many different angles..

 

[haze324]

Yeah he's fighting him pretty soon. The thing is that the UFC rules don't allow for a Gi or Gi pants. So Royce won't be able to wear what he normally wears. He's had a few fights in recent years and won, but no where near as dominant as before. So he's in for a tough fight. I have huge respect for the guy, he put MMA on the map, but he's in for a tough one.

Yeah man, A.A, is a pimp in UFC and his fights are fun to watch, but you gotta check out some Pride fights. You can see some on video.google.com or sherdog.com

Either way man, have fun bro - I'm sure we'll talk some more smack tomorrow about the outcomes.

 

[haze324]

I think St. Pierre is THE best all around fighter in the world right now....Guy is impressive and can beat you from many different angles..

Yeah he's a bad dude but lost to Matt Hughes, so before he's crowned THE BEST - he's gotta beat Hughes. I think he's fighting BJ Penn in the next UFC and the winner gets Hughes after the Royce fight. BJ Penn is a bad dude (had some problems recently)- that should be an awesome.

 

[Jrflex10er]

I'm not for sure on this so don't quote me....Wasn't St. Pierre beating hughes earlier in that fight? Even though he didn't win that fight was probably a huge step in his career. He probably learned more in that fight then all his fights combined....I'm hoping he beats hughes but Matt is a tough fighter and is getting better every fight.....Best wrestler in the UFC.

 

[Ivan]

Monson

I know Jeff and he is a MONSTER -- wait till you see the shape he is in...although I have not seen him for years, he is a BADASS...I put $ that JEff wins this one...

 

[babygetoboy]

Yeah, Jeff is a monster, he'll take it.

Babulu will take MVA as well.

 

[swol]

Cant wait. I say it could go either way in the big fight. Wish i was in there miss fighting but the wife says she does not want me to get cauliflower ear not kidding either. She is so fuckin hot i listen to here every now and then!

It should be a good One! A few others I look forward to seeing also.
I think Ivans ole Partner Mike Whitehead from the TUF II will be fighting

This will be a tough fight for Franklin but I beleive hell win it.

Should be good one. Please post results, I cant view showing myself.

 

[Vespa103]

I remember the first time Randy fought in the ufc it was crazy he was just insane fast and cut up all crazy

The guy was really on a different level fitness wise than anyone else

Is he past his prime? Hell yeah the guy is like 40 and signifigantly slower but even past his prime at 40 though he is still awesome

Just imagine if he had been doing UFC at 20

Go Randy!!
