lol @ u didnt know franklin spoke portugese. timmy is a dope and i think he’ll always be one. hopefully he comes back with a vengeance and proves us wrong. isn’t the vera-exc deal already done?

UFCmania, you arent buying the Liddell has pneumonia thing are you? I’ve seen pics of the dude partying that same week. He looks drunk, but he mosdef doesnt look sick. I’ll email em to ya if your box has been emptied. Check the look on Dana’s face when he says it. He looking to see if the interviewer believed him. I call bullshit on that one.

On the Silva language thing, I have read elsewhere that White didnt know Silva didnt speak English and was pissed as hell after he beat Leben or after the contract was signed, depends on where you read it. Hmm, titleshot for Rich in Ohio? Think he wants Rich back on top again?

Oh yeah, who unchained you from your PC? We missed you last night.

dude vera and mirko would be awesome in my veiw. i mean mirko is a monster but vera is nice as hell. and it tells u something if mirko requests to fight him. obviously he knows vera is a true competitor

There were reports of Chuck suffering from the flu or something, a day before the Texas interview. Don’t ask me where I heard it, I don’t remember, but I am sure he is sick.

Sorry guys — I was stuck at work. Nothing I could do about it. But, I’m back and catching up on some news and emails. We’ll hit it hard this week — don’t worry.

Here is part 4 of the Lame-iac getting beat down by Couture:

Sylvia will say anything to save face. Just look at when Mir clearly broke his arm and Sylvia said his arm was just fine and he didnt know why the fight was stopped. I couldn’t be happier for Couture. Talk about teaching an old dog new tricks.

Also, I think there be just a little too much politics in the fight cards. I still dont understand how Lambert gets a shot at a two time belt contender before Rashad Evans or Kieth Jardine.

Randy is the man!

Here’s Silvia, the giant duffus, saying he’s going to knock Randy out like Chuck did, and that Randy is just a 43 year old man who’s been retired for a year, doing the fight to make some money:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ppOi8QiYh4

Your right everyones allowed their opinion. Sunny sucks omni jaw!!! Hope you don’t like it.

well obviously lambert was able to beat that two time contender…it was freaking awesome to.

I hope that chuck was really just drunk and not that sick, because I REALLY want to see him fight rampage in may. UFCMania, what is the deal with Cro Cop and his contract and all that? I hadn’t heard anything until you mentioned the situation with Vera.

I dont like this UFC game when contenders call out champions and then the champions get out of their seat to get in the ring…

If I would have been Anderson Silva after Franklin called him out I would have gone in the ring and said “uhhhhh… did anyone see our last fight” and then walked out.

I dont think Franklin has any business getting a rematch until he proves he is still Franklin.

Where is Sunny? I thought for sure she would be on here rubbing my nose in doo-doo.

Shes somewhere giving jaw.

I’m a bit drunk tonight…going to bed now before I get boot from this site!!!!

That is too funny.

Wow, when Randy says he sees holes in Tims game, he means it! Randy called it, Tim didnt take any risks, he might have caught him with a head kick or something if he tried, but he just played it safe like Randy said, and it was his down fall,(not to mention being outclassed) Did anyone notice the graceful end of round gas from Tim Sylvia? Im not saying I dont burp, but for some reason when he does it, he comes off as a total slob. He should walk out wearing a wife beater with mustard stains on it. The injury remark, what was he thinking? The whole event everyone is dropping lines about how they dont see why people dis Tim, and that hes a nice guy etc. then he opens his mouth and its all for nothing. The guy has no charisma, plain and simple.

Dana White can suck his mother’s testicles and lick her’s penis. That ugly little rat…

First of all having a bad back has nothing to do with getting laid out with the first punch. Randy was like superman he was full of energy and like he said he didnt lay off of Tim one minute. Tim had several chances to throw punches, but he completely choked. And for Dana White is it me or does he seem like a total control freak? He is the only CEO or owner of any entertainment or sports orginization that you see on TV constantly tallking. The 40 dollars for the pay per view was outrageous, but I paid for it anyway. lol And for 40 bucks shouldnt we be able to rewatch it for a week? lol

A back injury? No wonder tim’s stance is so messed up.

dude vera and mirko would be awesome in my veiw. i mean mirko is a monster but vera is nice as hell. and it tells u something if mirko requests to fight him. obviously he knows vera is a true competitor

Do you think Mirko called out Vera to prove a point more than anyting else? Vera thinks he is the best thing the big boys in the UFC have seen, without having beaten a somebody? He beat Frank Mir who was not and is not the Frank Mir of old. I think he is great, Vera, but I hate these guy that beat 2 or 3 stepping stones and think they are deservant of a title shot. I think Mirko wants to put the yapper in place. I want a run at the title or I am going else where trash talker…I wish they would let Mirko know him off of his high horse, and bring the truth bac down to earth.

Fuck Timmy. What a bad loser, his back what aload of shite. I bet this is how he prepared for this fight, gained a bunch of weight, cut 20lbs so it would be harder for Randy to move him around and do what he normally does and use his reach. Randy is the man…sorry what is he thats right he’s the MAN.

What did tim ever do to you?

Cro Cops or Vera’s contract? Vera has one fight left on his UFC deal. The UFC is under no obligation to put him in a fight, either. His contract runs out later on this year if they don’t put him in the Octagon before then.

Cro Cop is locked up for two years.

Sore back my ass, oh sorry maybe the injury occured taking a corner too sharply on the Vespa. I love it how Pastor Hughes decided upon himself to speak on behalf his life partner. We all know if Tim was hurt he would’ve cancelled the fight to hold on to the belt a little longer and given how an injury could sideline somebody an indefinite amount of time, it would’ve allowed for that huge sponsorship deal to come through with Ricky’s Snow Shoe and Tackle. If Tim was cleared to fight by the Ohio Gaming commision or UFC equivalent then he was obviously in good enough shape to compete…I will however comment that oddly Tim did not throw a single kick the whole fight…strange yes, but it doesn’t surprise me how between him and Matt Hughes that immediately an excuse was raised after a poor performance. The sooner those two leave the UFC the better. I was honestly hoping to see something exciting happen with Matt, but my concerns in the past with him have only been reaffirmed after his conservative showing on saturday…eat one punch and lets watch some high school wrestling at it’s finest…Don’t worry Matt you’ll get a title shot, but you’ll be fighting an equal in strength and a guy that knows your entire game plan and can keep you neutralized the whole fight. Good luck with the future embaressment

hey dudes, i missed you guys this weekend….however im not one of the ufc bloggers mtufc, but i loved this ppv..i may be wrong, but if you look at the predictions and analysis page, i think i came closest…except for babalu…Lamberts mom even had Babalu winning…I love that rich proved the jmac pickle ticklers wrong…and Hughes couldnt stop tough as nails Lyttle..Fitch is the SHIT…and Randy Couture is gods gift to old people..he works miracles, but now he has to defend his title in a weightclass that keeps getting better and better heavyweight comp..i will always root for him and he will still be underdog in every fight in the Heavywights

I was saying that White should have fed Vera to the some nasty UFC Heavyweight like Arlovski or Cro Cop… shrug

I like Sylvia, but Couture hit that shit on the head… you arent gonna be able to beat a fighter like Randy Couture, no matter how old he is, fighting the way Sylvia did.

Wondering where you were at this weekend Dude.

haha yeah im sorry, i dont have a computer at home, just here at work 8-4 mon through fri…i would have loved to talk shit with the best of em this weekend, but i handled myself accordingly sat night…after the big night for Couture and Rich, i decided to celebrate with booze and semi-good looking strippers…it was nice

Just wanted to talk about Liddell’s pneumonia. I’ve had it before man you are soooo tired. I think Chuck might be ready for May.

Has everyone seen the Dana interview over on Sherdog yet? It’s worth the download time. Like I said before, download it straight, dont wait for it to load. What he says about Chucks handlers, Pride, Couture, Poopie, and his plethoric use of the F word are all worth hearing.

What the hell was up with the Matt Hughes fight? He kept trying to do that damn crucifix thing like four times and only tried any submissions seconds before the bell, so if they went badly and he got reversed (like he did) the bell would save him from any trouble. He was fighting like Timmy only wrestling instead of striking. He’s gonna get his ass handed to him again after GSP takes care of Serra.

What the hell is up with the Militech fighters period?
Hughes, Pulver, Sylvia, Mcfed. Pat needs to drop outta IFL and take his team back over again.
I think Hughes fought not to lose, not to get caught. It was a win, albiet a boring one. Kinda like Timmy vs Monson or AA 3.

Tim Sylvia not only poops on his opponent during matches, he does it on the crowd afterward. What a douchebag.

Dana White should match up Tim Sylvia with Ross Pointon next. Ross will show that big douchebag how the people’s champ get it done!

Sylvia sucks. Bad back my ass. The Miletich camp has NO CHAMPIONS. I doubt they ever will again. He is embarrassed and needs to make excuses for the ass-whoopin’ his boy took.

STEVE O…I would pay the 39.99 just to see Ross and Sylvia go three rounds, if it were the only card on the PPV. To funny…

All the ladz Chant as Ross marches towards the CAGE….
 
All the players that are on the pitch
We’ve got the balls, don’t you know
If they shoot real quick (Oh Whey Oh)
They score the goals like there’s no one home.
All the English fans in the stands,
They’ve got the vibe, take a bet,
We’re English Fans (Oh Whey Oh)
We chant it out, smoke a cigarette
Student types with their bongs and pipes, say

Ay oh whey oh, whey oh ay oh
Chant like an English Fan

ROSS POINTON THE PEOPLE CHAMP!

I love JORDANS comments about Hughes and Sylvia, I couldn’t agree more. Did you see Hughes shouting to Timmy from out of the octagon? He had this panicked look on his face like he was about to cry. I can’t stand Hughes and his ARROGANCE, his fight was just a boring wrestling match. Why didn’t the ref stand them up, Hughes was not advancing his game.I can’t wait for GSP to kick his ass again, no being saved by the bell in the first round. That was so nasty when Sylvia blamed his loss on an injury, and he was supposed to gain some popularity and respect from this fight, well, he did the opposite, he lost respect trying to take away credit from probably the biggest hero on our planet at the moment{slight exageration, I know,but in the mma world he is}I could go on, but enough said for now, bye guys. J.

dibs on c. girl..hope shes hott

Randy is the man of the UFC without a doubt. It was good to see him win, its what the Heavyweight division needed. He definately has what it takes to able to beat Cro Cop (one punch is all it took from Randleman), but Fedor, Mark (Head Of Stone)Hunt and Josh Barnett I think not. UFC though, if he can keep his stamina up (he looked tired after the 2nd round), then by the way he performed last night, with only Cro Cop as the real threat, he could be be the champ for a while, bringing a little class and respectability the heavyweight division. Amazing fight.

You damb right Ade, Randy is da SHITS!. Its fighters like him dat makes da UFC look good.
Tim got beat down 2 his knees and what makes it moa shame is dat Randy came out of retirement just 2 kick his ASS! There was no chance in da world dat Tim was gonna win and that was petty stupid of him 2 think so.
 Well Randy all us Fans in Hawaii are Happy 4 you and we wish u nothing but da best, now if you don’t mind i have 2 go cause da waves are picking up and da beach is calling me.
 ALOHA CHAMP!……….

Just to comment on Zacks remark about the $40 ppv charge, I think it’s a little steep too considering they only aired 5 fights. They should show more of the undercards so we can see the guys working there way up. I like to watch “cage rage” from the U.K., they show tons of fights and they’re good. You will never get a wrestling match, the fighters are stood up a lot quicker than UFC. You see a wider variety of fighters from all countries. Lee Murray is a stud. Bye guys J.
P.S. MMA Dude, no dibs allowed, I’ll be everyones!

First I want to say that I just KNEW Randy Couture was going to win his match with Tim Sylvia. I didn’t expect a knockout or submission, but I felt he could beat a “champ” that was only on top because he has the advantage of those long arms & legs.

Watching that show on Thursday made me realize how much I HATE those Miletich bitches! They act like they are so amazing, that nobody is better than they are – and that is such a load of SHIT!

Sylvia was saying how he’s “the best of both worlds” when talking about how Randy hasn’t done well against both “big men” and “strikers”. I laughed so hard I spit my drink all over my buddy when I heard that. Tim Sylvia isn’t even in the top TEN in strikers, let alone the best. He got lucky with a couple of KO’s – but it was only because he has legs & arms that are a mile long, and not because of skill.

Actually, Dana White should create a “Super-Heavyweight” catagory for people like Sylvia to compete in. That’s why Rashad Evans dropped down to Light-Heavyweight, he knew he couldn’t compete against these freaks that are well above 250 pounds & over 6’6’’ tall. It’s not fair competition to have someone the size of Sylvia go up against people in the 205 – 250 weight class.

Tim Sylvia made me want to puke just listening to his bullshit. He actually seems to believe his own hype about him being the best, and that he’s unstoppable. That’s why he was destined to fall, because his ego wrote a check that his body couldn’t cash.

I love how that pussy blamed his loss to a back injury, rather than the fact that he got beat by a better fighter. There was no mention of him being less than 100% in the preview show (actually, he says he was in great shape) so why would someone who is supposed to be the “champ” act more like a chump?

Dana White was correct for saying that Sylvia shouldn’t have mentioned a back injury – even if he did have one. It’s just sour grapes, and tarnishes his role as a former champ in the UFC for trying to explain away why he lost his match. (a match that – rightfully – you described as being “bad on paper for Randy Couture”) Sylvia was overconfident going into the fight, and he got spanked for not taking Couture as serious as he deserved to be taken. Another bit of evidence of what a piece of shit that Tim Sylvia is (and why he didn’t deserve to represent the UFC as champ) is how he didn’t show up for the post fight press conference. He was a punk & let his butt-buddy Matt Hughes cry for him & explain how his “alleged” injury was the real reason for losing – not anything Randy Couture did. (Maybe Sylvia was upset that Couture was getting $250,000 no matter what to Sylvia’s $100,000 for the fight? I say that Tim should pay back about half of that to the UFC for being such a pussy!!)

Tim Sylvia is in real trouble now. He couldn’t put Randy Couture away… he will be DESTROYED if he is stupid enough to fight Mirko “Cro Cop”!! Hell, I feel certain that (well, if he ever gets his head out of his ass & re-signs with UFC) Brandon “The Truth” Vera could easily kick Sylvia’s ass!!

Another thing is when Tim Sylvia was talking about Matt Hughes & his fight. Matt is far from the fighter that Tim was trying to tell people he is.

Sure, he’s won many fights, and you can’t take away his championship reign. BUT… he won most of those fights because he was “packing 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag” more than because he outfought his opponents.

He is the epitome of the smug jock asshole that people hate – and it is a big part of why I’m so glad he lost the title. (well, a big part of it is that I think GSP is a better fighter & a much better person) Just like on the T.U.F. series when Matt Serra points out how much of a dick Matt Hughes was being to GSP – that’s how Hughes is and it’s justification to why he deserved to lose the title.

Actually, Matt Hughes had been slipping WAY before he got KO’d by GSP. He was very lucky to have turned the tables on GSP when he did in the first fight. Then he got saved by a miracle when B.J. Penn fought him the second time. Penn just about took the title that night, and Matt Hughes only got the win by the skin of his teeth.

Matt Hughes was getting lucky & winning matches that he should have lost… it was about time that the odds caught up to him. I’m just glad that it happened when he fought a guy like GSP who deserves the title.

All those for a super heavyweight devision say I…I

I!

wait!

…or how about a sloth, goofy looking, pidgen toed, shit in your pants, division…that way Tim Sylvia would be the only one in that division and he could punch himself in the face for 25 minutes every pay per view

…I’D PAY TO SEE THAT!!!

There already is a SHW division. It just isnt used. Same thing before Dana bought back LW. The NSAC has SHW already sanctioned as an official weight class, it’s up to the body ( the UFC ) to do something with it.

Has anyone seen a copy of ZenRhino’s new book Hughes, Sylvia, and Miletich – An Indepth Look and Why They Suck? It’s available on UFCMania.com.

I was going to purchase it mtufc, but he already wrote the whole thing on this thread, so it would have been a waste of 7.50….I dont want to see Super heavyweights….its boring…unless you get a rare KO..but thats rare

There’s enough people that are over 6’4" & over 250 pounds that a SHW division could be a good draw at PPV events.

Randy Couture talked about bringing in many huge dudes to prepare for Tim Sylvia. Brad Imes is definitely fit for that division.

I’m just saying that there’s such a disconnect from people like Sylvia and people like Rashad Evans. Rashad dropped down to LHW because he realized that there’s going to be more people like Imes & Sylvia fighting in the HW division for the UFC. He realized that it’s not smart for someone his size to give up such a reach advantage to someone like Sylvia – even if he has a shot at a decent fight.

That was Sylvia’s only reason for being champ so long. People couldn’t get past his mile long arms & legs… so he kept winning. Then someone smart like Randy Couture comes along who knows how to negate that advantage – and crybaby Timmy loses his belt.

I’m not expecting tons of fights at SHW, but I think it’s more fair for competition that way. There’s not a fight at 155 every event, but they have brought back the division. It’s proving to be an exciting weightclass, and I think that SHW could be just as exciting.

MTUFC,

That’s not the final product on the book… I still have 5 or 6 chapters that I need to “polish” before it’s ready to sell. (btw, I still have those 10 copies saved just for you – signed as you requested) :P

I am a huge Sylvia fan, win, lose, or draw and will not change because he lost. If you are a true fan then you will support your fighter no matter what.

Rich Franklin complained after the fight that Silva’s clinch was more than he was expecting. What was he expecting, a back rub? Every fighter has complained after losing a fight. Tito comes to mind after getting a beat down twice at the hands of the Iceman. He thumbed me in the eye. He wasn’t hitting me in the face but in the arms. Can anyone say crybaby?

AA complained he was not KTFO by Tim in the second fight.

I believe Tim will regain his title but not from Randy because he will not be the champ long. I admit Tim should not have made mention of a back injury, if, in fact there was one. He lost fair and square but some of you people need to lighten up a bit on Tim and any other champ or fighter for that matter who loses. I have been reading many of your post’s for some time now and see where there are the ones who proclaim Mat Hughes to be the greatest thing since Jiffy Pop Popcorn but he got smacked around by GSP. Mat will not win a rematch and should fade off into the sunset.

AA will destroy Randy in short order if they fight. I have never seen Cro cop fighter but from reading many post some believe he is unbeatable but he has been beat just like Rampage and the guy called the axe murderer who lost to Henderson.

I say if you can whip TS, Matt, Rich, then get in the ring and prove it. If not, then shut the hell up.I am not a fan of hughes, Franklin, AA, Rampage, Silva, Randy or Vera but I do give the men the respect they deserve.

Tim did fight to not lose and lost anyway. He should have thrown the kitchen sink at Randy and maybe he would have won but didn’t and lost.

No shame in losing because every so-called great has lost, except for Feder and there are not a lot of great HW’s in Pride so to be the best you must beat the best that is offered.

“I have never seen Cro cop fight” Must live in a hole with Saddam. Please go to Dailymotion.com, search crocop, buy some popcorn, a 12 pack, and some tissues. Ditch your girlfriend/wife, pull up an easy chair to your monitor, or recline with your laptop on a Saturday, and enjoy.

Darryl,
It’s one thing to say an opponent outfought or outthought you, or to say the other fighter thumbed you, and a whole other thing to say you lost due to an injury you came in with.

AA is a good fighter, and a real humble, friendly guy out of the ring, but he went through a period of excess as champ ( sound familiar ) and lost to Tim. Before the third fight, Andre was injured 2 weeks before in training and then reaggravated in second round. He still came to fight b/c he wasnt sure he would get another shot ( Karo ), and fought as best he could during the fight. What did he say about the injury while talking to Blowgums or at the post fight press conference? Found a copy.
http://www.bullz-eye.com/sports/interviews/2006/andrei_arlovski-post.htm
That is why ppl hate Tim.

To Darryl that is true CRO COP is unbeatable right now and I tell you when he fights next time plese watch and you will change your thinking about CRO COP same as me. RESPECT !!!
