I personally can’t stand the Militech camp. They all seem like a bunch of bullies to me. I look forward to Serra and Drago coaching there side to victory. I cant wait. Also cant wait for Title match. It seems like its been forever since UFC has put on a show.

Damn….. no Frank Trigg on Serra’s side. I was really pulling for that. If it was Hughes and Lawler vs Serra and Trigg that would have been absolutely bananas. Too bad.

would be cool to have lawler vs drago at the undercard of that event, highly doubt it will happen since lawler is locked in his Icon contract

trigg said that he would do it,i wonder why he didnt,maybe lawler had something to do with it

damn i was at the the Blaisdell when Lawler beat the crap out of Trigg(Randy Couture was even in his corner that night, while Jens Pulver was in the corner of Lawler)Although I also don’t care for the Militech Camp, I would love to see Lawler back in the UFC again. I believe he is a much more mature fighter than he was before. There are many fighters in ICON who desrve another shot in the UFC: Robbie Lawler, Renato “Charuto” Verissimo, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, etc.

Damn….. no Frank Trigg on Serra’s side. I was really pulling for that. If it was Hughes and Lawler vs Serra and Trigg that would have been absolutely bananas. Too bad.

That would of been awesome but Drago is a loose cannon also

Sweet, Im glad to here Lawler is returning. Cant wait to see how he fairs in the middleweight division. Robbie Lawler and Evan Tanner should make their UFC returning debuts aginst each other. That would be sweet.

Hopefully they throw Lawler on the card too for the Finale.

Lawler vs Diaz 2 ?

Please make that happen.

no he has a fight comin up wit ninga i doubt hell sign a contract

Hopefully they throw Lawler on the card too for the Finale.

Lawler vs Diaz 2 ?

Please make that happen.

i’d love to see that, but diaz doesn’t fight at 185 and lawler is fighting the other rua coming up soon i think, but i hear you, i loved the diaz lawler fight, that was the fight that made me start to really like nick diaz…

When they announce the TUF6 fighter line-up, I’m going to do a search on each guy and see what pops up. Primarily I’m thinking about when they had Bisping and everyone else and Kendall Grove too. In some seasons they’ve brought in a couple guys who are seasoned fighters and surround them with bags to fill out the line-up.

It doesn’t look like Lawler will be fighting in the UFC anytime soon because of his ICON contract. I’m sure UFC allows the coaches to bring in anybody they want as an assistant because of the importance of having an assistant who knows the coach’s routine, etc. But, since Lawler is under contract for another organization, don’t look for Lawler to get much camera time. I wouldn’t be surprised if UFC blurs out his face whenever he does accidentally get in the shot.

I am looking foward to this. Hughes is a winner and a skilled champion. Serra is a cheeseball who is heading into the final seconds of of fifteen minutes of fame. When they fight, Serra will be exposed as a middle of the pack welterweight. Hughes will be unfazed by Serra’s game, and he will dominate him. If I were one of the guys on Serra’s team I would be pissed because I could have been trained by the greatest welterweight of all time, rather than a disrespectful mook from Long Island.

rather than a disrespectful mook from Long Island.

Dude come one…… Serra is better then that and everyone knows it. Serra isnt some chump who was born yesterday whos gonna go in there and just d!ck around. Hes a capable fighter and has been in the the UFC since 2001.

 Whats Matt Hughes gonna do? Take Serra to the ground so that Serra can put on a JJ clinic for the viewers? No wait…. I think Hughes should stand up with Serra because Hughes’ standup is far above everyone elses….. like we’ve seen before right? Maybe Serra can knock out Hughes’ last front tooth so he can have all fake front teeth like Henderson. lol

My prediction…
This will def be a ground fight. Hughes will look for the takedown early. Serra will either catch him in a submission or Hughes will lay on him looking for the decision.

Hughes did some serious ground in pound against Royce Gracie’s JJ. What makes you think that “Matt Serra” of all people is going to submit Hughes? Hughes will lay on himand wait for a decision?

They need to do a season with Heavyweights.

Damn….. no Frank Trigg on Serra’s side. I was really pulling for that. If it was Hughes and Lawler vs Serra and Trigg that would have been absolutely bananas. Too bad.

It seems to me that Dana white hates Frank Trigg

Justgive the heavyweight contract to Big Ben Rothwedll and skip the heavyweight season… or do u wanna c Brad Imes, and Mike whitehead fight aqgain… For cryin out loud last time they had heavyweights on the show Rashad won.

Im not hating on Rashad, but as a heavyweight come on…

This could be a better fight then most people think. serra’s ju jitsu is great, Now I hate Matt hughes,but his ju jitsu is no joke either… He has used very advance ju jitsu skills to win, more thyen a couple of his fights… It could turn into a ju jitsu clinic, with hughes incorporating some G n P also.
However I wouldnt be surprised if serra pulls out the upset

Now I hate Matt hughes,but his ju jitsu is no joke either…

Agreed John. But there is still no way you can say Matt Hughes Ju Jitsu is better then Serra’s. You can say Hughes is a better wrestler but not better at JJ.

Im predicting a Serra victory.

They need to do a season with Heavyweights.

I hope not. The heavyweights in season 2 were so boring.

I am going to call it now … The welterweight winner of TUF 6 will come from Hughes’ team. I say this not because Hughes is the Phil Jackson of MMA coaching, but rather the coach that Hughes is bringing in (Matt Pena) he has already coached young fighters on TUF with Jens Pulver and all of Jens’ guys showed improvement with their hands, oh and coindicently, Nate Diaz won the whole thing.

Regardless of Manny’s injury during the fight, no 5’ 5" guy is going to be a force in the UFC, so the better upside guy won.

i’d love to see that, but diaz doesn’t fight at 185 and lawler is fighting the other rua coming up soon i think, but i hear you, i loved the diaz lawler fight, that was the fight that made me start to really like nick diaz…

I dont think Diaz or lawler has ever fought at 185

Agreed John. But there is still no way you can say Matt Hughes Ju Jitsu is better then Serra’s. You can say Hughes is a better wrestler but not better at JJ.

Im predicting a Serra victory.

DjPullout: I think u misunderstood me… I love serra’s chances in this fight… Like u said his stand up is definetly better then matt hughes, and he prolly does have the edge over hughes in ju jitsu.

I like Serra’s chances… With the odds, Im definetly betting on serra

It seems to me that Dana white hates Frank Trigg

I think you’re correct John. I believe Dana had said something about having to definitely replace one announcer if they purchased Pride (obviously it was a pre-purchase comment). The article made it pretty apparent that Dana was referring to Trigg.

I hope Nick Diaz magically appears halfway through episode 7 and one punch KO’s Lawler again. That would be great.

Hughes did some serious ground in pound against Royce Gracie’s JJ. What makes you think that “Matt Serra” of all people is going to submit Hughes? Hughes will lay on himand wait for a decision?

C’mon now. Royce looked like a Brazilian Skeletor. I would hope that Serra has more power than Royce.

Silo, Also when dana actually purchased pride he announced that everyone of prides executive would keep their jobs, but he immediately fired trigg, and I think the other announcer(i could be wrong)

LOL…the list of TUF6 contestants is already available, but the moderators of this blog obviously are not going to allow me to tell you where to find them (link or no link) since they’ve already deleted my first two comments where I’ve attempted to show you where they are. I guess you’re on your own in finding out which competing UFC blog already has them posted. I take it that the philosophy here on dealing with the competition is to simply not allow the names of the competition to even be uttered. Freedom of speech Bush-style…ya gotta love it!

While I am not fond of many of the MFS fighters (and Lawler being one of them)its hard not to admit that he is an exciting fighter…win lose or draw. I think the weak UFC MW division is in need of a real contender. After the Silva/Franklin rematch there really isn’t anyone on the horizon for a title shot. Martin Kampmann is the next obvious choice…no need for explanation. Terry Martin is prob next in line after him, but he is still a couple of solid fights away. He needs to be tested against a top tier fighter. A fight with Nathan Marquardt should prob happen. It would be a good way to see if Martin is worthy of a shot. Besides him who else is there? Marq and Okami have basically eliminated themselves from title shots for quite some time. Grove isn’t near ready…enter Lawler. I think the UFC should have Lawler and Pete Sell fight at the TUF finals or on the Serra/Hughes undercard. Both are competing coaches (lawler on team hughes…sell on team serra). It makes perfect sense. Lawler wins and he is back in the UFC mix ans set to make a run at the title.
