Nemesis here we come…

pretty pumped about GSP and Wandy. The only other fight that interest me is Lister. Is that Manny from the show?

Eddie Sanchez on the main card??

Rich and Melvin should also not be on the main card. The only reason you’d drop 40 ducks is to see Hughes get his ass kicked by GSP AGAIN!

pretty pumped about GSP and Wandy. The only other fight that interest me is Lister. Is that Manny from the show?

You are more interested in Dean Lister than Sokoudjou vs. Machida? One question….why?

I really wish they’d replace that 5th fight to maybe Evans vs. Bocek or maybe even the Lister fight. Hopefully it turns out ot be a decent matchup but it has little to no implication on the division…neither does the Guillard/Clementi fight. This card really only has 3 significant fights to their respected divisions…the rest are just decent fillers at best. GSP is going to come out so pumped for this fight and really take it to Hughes even harder than he did the lsat time they fought. If Hughes has any sense at all he won’t try and trade with GSP again or he’s going to be seeing stars again. GSP TKO early in Round 3….book it. Then hopefully we’ll get to see GSP/Serra in Canada.

Where is the love for the HDNet FiGHTS this saturday?

Eddie Sanchez on the main card??

Agreed… I would rather see the Bocek/Evans fight.
I still remember the way Sanchez ran from Crocop at 67.

When GSP is an old man I want him to run for Prime Minister!!

Agreed… I would rather see the Bocek/Evans fight.
I still remember the way Sanchez ran from Crocop at 67.

He ran like a Biatch

yeah i would go with evans bocek over the sanchez fight, but i definately want to see the Irvin/Cane fight…its probably on the main card over these fights just because its the only heavyweight fight of the night

GodDamnMike that is a good idea lol.
Come old Chuck bring back the fire..watch out cause wandy is bringing the water..but I really want Chuck to take this. GSP is going to maul hughes..should be awesome tho!

pretty pumped about GSP and Wandy. The only other fight that interest me is Lister. Is that Manny from the show?

Yes, that is Manny “British Prostitute” Gamburyan from TUF 5. And are you related to Lister somehow? That’s the only way could seriously be interested in watching him fight.

Sokoudjou vs Machida is the one im most excited about, and chuck and wandy

You are more interested in Dean Lister than Sokoudjou vs. Machida? One question….why?

Yes, that is Manny “British Prostitute” Gamburyan from TUF 5. And are you related to Lister somehow? That’s the only way could seriously be interested in watching him fight.

How did you know that? Do I know you?

My thoughts on the outcomes.

Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre = GSP win by KO in R2.

Main card (televised):

Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva = Wanderlei win by KO in R1.
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Lyoto Machida = Sokoudjou win by KO in R2.
Rich Clementi vs. Melvin Guillard = Melvin win by KO in R3.
Eddie Sanchez vs. Soa Palalei = Soa win by TKO in R1.

Under card (may not be broadcast):

James Irvin vs. Luis Cane = Luis win by TKO in R1.
Manny Gamburyan vs. Nate Mohr = Manny win by Sub in R2.
Dean Lister vs. Jordan Radev = Dean win by Sub in R1.
Roan Carneiro vs. Tony DeSouza = Tony win by UD… a real snooze fest!
Doug Evans vs. Mark Bocek = Mark win by Sub in R1.

Yeah that’s pretty much it!

Yes, that is Manny “British Prostitute” Gamburyan from TUF 5. And are you related to Lister somehow? That’s the only way could seriously be interested in watching him fight.

british? Karo’s cousin manny?

When GSP is an old man I want him to run for Prime Minister!!

What’s a Prime Minister?

It’s really not right that they are calling this the interim UFC Welterweight Championship. The match up of Hughes versus St. Pierre is big enough, they dont need to make up a title for the fight to be exciting. It’s wrong that they calling this any type of title fight. Matt Serra is the champion. We all know that the winner of the Hughes/st. pierre fight is gonna beat serra for the title, but dec 29th really isnt any sort of title fight!

We need to call it that so we get five rounds to watch hughes take his beating

GSP fight wont last longer then 3 anyway. And I would much rather see the Liddell/Silva fight be 5 rounds. They should call that fight the former interim UFC/PRIDE championship title fight! Although this fight wont last long either

We need to call it that so we get five rounds to watch hughes take his beating

predictions
  hughes wins by ko high kick in the first
  chuck wins by rear naked choke in the second
  lyoto wins by ko punch in the first

True. Plus, there’s no guarantee that Serra will be healthy soon. He will probably be fine to fight in the early spring, but why not give us the potential for a 5 round fight on this month’s card and a belt holder (interim) that could be declared the champ if Serra has a serious setback.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why they are doing this. But i feel like they are changing the rules of the sport. When Sean Sherk got injured after the Kenny Florian fight, why didnt the make the Spencer Fisher/Hermes Franca and interim title fight??? u see what i’m saying. Although the UFC is entertainment, it is more of a sport and The UFC treats every situation differently which isn’t fair. Not just in regards to this so-called “interim” fight, but how they handle certain situations

What’s a Prime Minister?

this is funny. And Tim Sylvia will do a back flip after his next victory!

I got:
GSP by TKO 2nd
Silva by TKO 3rd
Lyoto by TKO 1st
Guillard by KO 1st

GSP wins becaus he is too good. Silva wins it in the 3rd because his conditioning and pace will give him a huge advantage in that round. Lyoto will TKO Remy because thats what happened to Remy last time he was in a cage. Also, because Remy can’t sneak up on him; people know he has power. Guillard will win becaue he is better and has to be hungary after his recent layoff due to “blow.”

PREDICTIONS:

GSP wins by TKO in 3rd Round

Liddell wins by KO in 1st rd which wakes the crowd up after sleeping through the Machida fight.

Lyoto Machida wins by decision

Melvin Guillard wins by KO in 1st rd

Palalei wins by Eddie Sanchez knocking himself out in rd 1. Sanchez goes to sleep by running into the octagon fence while running away from his opponent like he did against cro cop

predictions
hughes wins by ko high kick in the first
chuck wins by rear naked choke in the second
lyoto wins by ko punch in the first

HAHAHAHAHAHA, that must be the absolute worst predictions I’ve ever seen…

Wanderlei submitted… I haven’t seen that and if your sensei Chuck manage to finish him by any submission what so ever I’ll commit suicide, to be honest I can’t remember Chuck winning via Submission either.

K back to seriousness here, not that that shit wasn’t funny…

Did anybody else who has watched the preview video think it sorta shocking to hear White say basically that the loser of Wanderlei-Liddell, is finished? LMAO, I mean he said “their life is on the line.” He just signed Silva! What if he loses?! Shit, there’s no coming back from that.

this is funny. And Tim Sylvia will do a back flip after his next victory!

It was meant to be sarcastic, kind of the opposite of what I imagine happening, but how funny would it be if my predictions came true. And who would have predicted serra tko gsp in the first and gonzaga ko cro cop with a high kick also in the first? Answer nobody.

I hope it was sarcastic and glad it was so.
The opposite seems quite on spot what could happen but as you say about Gonzaga and GSP… one can only imagine how it would end… believe me CC vs. Gonzaga was a chock for me being a CC fan since his early days of K-1 and it was like throwing a mice to a cat that haven’t seen food in ages.
I often bet on fights, not only fights that is “easy” bets, but I lost about 500 dollars and that’s my biggest money lost ever on any fight, my biggest wasn’t that big but it was Dan Henderson vs. Wanderlei Silva 2, think it was around the same days the CC was, so it was a win/lose weekend really :P
I went plus though… but not with much LOL!

Hughes has said numerous times that he hoped to catch st pierre at a bad time as he likes to structure his workouts with extra time and what not. So basically he’s saying that he’s taking this fight because he has a better chance catching st pierre on short notice. Shouldn’t you want to fight a fighter that’s absolutely in top condition?

NO, not if he kicked your ass the last time! These guys want any edge they can get.

I’m going to enjoy this card!

After GSP dominates 170 (as if he hasn’t already) he should take out anderson silva for the mw title. He’s the only guy I can think of who can stand up to such a precision striker. A couple superman punches and its lights out for the spider.

  The funny thing is st.pierre is in top shape already, hughes is mistaken if he thinks gsp isn’t going to be ready. Gsp would never take a fight now unless he’s 100 percent, he learned his lesson from his serra fight when he wasn’t 100 percent and paid for it severely.

Anderson Silva vs. GSP would be an awesome fight. If GSP won that, he would certainly be the #1 contender at 185. I don’t know if he would be able to take the MW belt from Dan Henderson (who will have the belt after smashing Silva) though. As much as I would love to see them spice up the MW division, I would hate to see the WW division lose one of it’s most exciting fighters. Especially with a potential GSP/Fitch fight on the horizon.

  Wow and I thought I had a lot of confidence in gsp, gsp is good but fighting a silva? I honestly don’t think he’s ready for him yet, he needs to sharpen his boxing skills and get his black belt in bjj. He also needs to dominate his division first before he considers moving up, holding the belt once doesn’t qualify to me. If he takes out hughes then serra, beats fitch and karo again then maybe he should consider moving up, but I really don’t think he’s a good enough striker right now to complete with the spider. Gsp is my favorite fighter, so I’m not biased against him but silva is a monster and in my opinion the best striker in mma by far.

Yes I can see that happening, then moving up to take the belt from Rampage, then after that taking the HEAVYWIEGHT BELT !!!

You really think gsp will fly through the air like superman..and catch Silva..Yeah Sure.

I hope this isn’t real talk..GsP will only be champ at his weight..Silva, Rampage would beat the canadian crap out of him.

So damn true, GSP is a superb fighter but he will need 3 pair of arms to do so…

But Canadian crap is only about 68% of the crap he would beat out of an American

 
i hope you dont think hughes could beat him (Anderson).. come on if anybody had a chance, it would be gsp.. just my opinion..or a HW moving down a classe

I honestly don’t think he’s ready for him yet, he needs to sharpen his boxing skills and get his black belt in bjj.

Does anybody know if you can get a BJJ black belt w/o training gi techniques? I know there are a lot of advanced gi techniques, but obviously they’re not applicable to MMA. I think GSP needs to work on Muay Thai. I don’t remember him using clinches and knees. I think it would really add to his stand-up.

war gsp

Where is the love for the HDNet FiGHTS this saturday?

forget this saturday’s HDnet fights, where is the love for the new years eve Yeronaka event, free on HDnet feautring the best Lightweight fighters in the world, Fedor, Arona and the rest of the greatest PRIDE stars who aren’t in the UFC.

To be honest this is probably a better OVERALL event than UFC Nemesis. Just keeping it REAL!

The funny thing is st.pierre is in top shape already,

hughes is mistaken if he thinks gsp isn’t going to be ready. Gsp would never take a fight now unless he’s 100 percent, he learned his lesson from his serra fight when he wasn’t 100 percent and paid for it severely.

I agree, a real champion should want to fight another fighter at his best. Lets be honest Hughes knows he only has a 25% Cchance of winning and thats a generous number. Hughes cant get lucky with a punch because he throws arm punches that dont do anything, and I really dont think Hughes will be able to take GSP down, not even once. Hughes is the best WW champuion of all time, but I am gonna call a spade a spade, Hughes will NOT beat GSP, as a matter of fact Hughes wont make it past round 3.

The best WW title fight possible is GSP (champion vs. Fitch) 5 rds. of war, that is the equivalent to the middleweight fight of Silva vs. Hendo. I hope Hendo signs a contract extension with the UFC. They better show him the money because he has to fight in the UFC!

is it just me? i think all fights should be 5 rounds.

what i think is funny is most of you are talking like gsp has already won.i wouldnt be surpise if he loses again.so sick of this gsp bandwagon is f—cking ridiculous he only had one impressive victory and that was 2nd fight with Matt.who has he beat really?i know he won the fight with BJ (technically)but BJ whipped his ass just look at their faces.he couldnt finish Jason Mayhem.Jason f—cking Mayhem!oh yeah and he koed Jay Heron…whoop-de f—cking-doo.Sherk another smaller fighter and Trigg (wow) Frank Trigg! gsp is a talented fighter be imo way way way o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d.Then a guy smaller,prolly not as strong and not known to be a striker knocked him to never never land.GSP is talented but he get phyced out to easy,you have to be mentally strong to do what they do for a career which he’s NOT.so dont be surprised if Matt taps him out again.oh and another thing for all you Chuck doubters.ICEMAN ko in the first or second.bet on it

got gsp 2nd knockout
lidell knocking silva out in second
machida by decision again
guillard knockout of clementi in 1st
sanchez knockout 1st

Yes UFC 79 looks to be the most promising card since the UFC’s “Stacked” and has high implications on the years mma awards(including most dissappointing fighter-Liddel or Crocop) but I’m afraid Dana White has made an error in judgement in that the card has a huge potential for high risk/high reward. I am dissapointed as any in seeing Hollywood – I mean Chuck Liddel’s fall from grace this year, but watching him so greatly underperform the way he did in his last two fights leads me to believe we are once again being set up to be let down. Maybe he should have spent more time in the gym and less time making Nickleback videos. And like the other two former fights between GSP and Hughes – both ending in stoppage – history seems destined to repeat itself. Neither fights show signs going the distance. White should have backed up the card with some more solid names and bumped up the Manny(Should of been TUF 5’s winner)Gamburyan fight to the main card. Expect big things from the little “anvil” in my sleeper pick fight of the night.

 No, you and dana white! so we’ll only see 3 fights per up to 55 dollars silly idea

GSP would crush little 170 fitch. No questions asked. Fitch has a lot of growing to do before he can legitimatly compete with Rush. He knows what I’m talking about.

5 rounds sucks… it’s so boring when it ends after a full time snooze fest with the result “split” Zzzzzznore

GSP vs. Hendo in 08 @ MW.

  Ya remember fitch’s “time out”, with jeff joslin? LOL that was nuts eh, doubt he could get gsp down and gsp would pick him apart of there feet.

He’s at another level! Just like Silva. The fight with Serra f*k up everything…

agreed. hughes i think is taking the easy way out or at least trying to.. he’s gonna get his butt handed to him by GSP anyway, but the only reason this fight is even an interim title fight is cause hughes and dana are buddies. it makes sense for hughes because when he gets beat by gsp he won’t have to fight serra, because he’s afraid of a “lesser” opponent beating him. Serra would dominate hughes too.

GSP by TKO that’s all that needs to be said

i wish it was ken flo vs. bj!

  I guess gsp has the vast majority fooled eh? If gsp is overrated then who is “good” in that division?? Gsp has beaten convincingly most of the top guys to me, and I feel if he fought penn again he would finish him. Gsp isn’t over rated at all and is THE best 170 pounder out there, I’m curious to see who you think is better.

you said it Serra.Not saying Serras the best in the world.Yeah and i know the saying (you got caught) well wharever.GSP didnt just get caught.He got rocked then got out worked then took a very very embrassing beat down.watch the fight again dude.he never went out he rolled over and wait for the ref to save his ass.i got no respect for someone who just quits.if he had been unconsious then it would have been different but he wasnt he just quit.REAL fighters fight to the end.anybody that taps to strikes or rolls over is a punk.

well thanks but it needed to be said.i hate when someone does ok and the promoters blow them up bigger than what they are.Then there is a retarded wave of bandwagoners that hug nuts.

why aint he wearing the strap no more?ya know if his better and all.

J Dawg, aren’t you the same Kimbo nuthugger who is claiming (on the thread directly below this one) that Kimbo is legit? So GSP is overrated and overhyped and his wins aren’t that great, but Kimbo is legit? I guess Big Mac and Afro Puff are the equivalent of Matt Hughes and BJ Penn. In my opinion, Kimbo is a freakshow and GSP is a legitimate contender for the best Pound for pound fighter in the world.

probaly just like GSP

no i said i think he will have a future in mma and hope to see him fight some big names.as for calling me a Kimbo nuthugger that funny.being you and nathan are defending GSP and taking opinions personally like GSP is your brother!

Gsp isn’t perfect and I personally think bj penn has more raw natural talent than him but gsp trains very hard and intelligently. Yes serra beat him fair and square with a punch but I personally feel if they fought 10 times, both equally prepared gsp wins 8 or 9 of those fights. I really don’t know for sure but its my opinion based on watching each of the fighter last 5 fights. Serra in my opinion is a better fighter than shonie carter who beat him once to a spinning back fist, but I feel if they fought 10 times serra beats him 7 or 8 of those. I know of many examples where a fighter was clearly beating the other and lost in the end. I know talk is cheap and we’ll just have to wait and see both serra and gsp fight a few more times but I feel very confidence gsp will shine in 2008.

That debate is not serious…

yeah.i think they will have a good year.never once did i say GSP is horrible or does’nt belong in the ufc.i simply dont think he’s great like most do.but he will be around for awhile b/c he sells.personally i just dont like-em.favorite fighter are Arlovski and Rampage.Oh and prolly soon to be a War-Machine fan…kids got heart

GSP by brutal decapitation during the staredown

I think Hughes leaving MFS is going to be the biggest factor. He talks like his new camp is pushing him hard but I believe without Pat in his corner, his chances on victory have narrowed considerably. St.Pierre (pre-Koscheck)could have been considered “raw” as he was training just discipline(s) without a proper MMA coach.

Matt Hughes’ best chance of retaining the title would have been to fight Matt Serra. Hughes has already peeked in this sport.

jdawg, by your stupid logic, Dennis Hallman is better than MAtt Hughes LOL

jdawg, you´re calling GSP fans taking it personally when you´re throwing expletive slurs into your opinion? Everybody know f-ing slurs are f-ing personally insultive! I bet you just ahd your blood pressure rise from those two slurs,unless you hear them everyday ´,which believe about 90% of us on here dont, so please, back down a little alright?

GSP being good or bad, he is my favorite for the fight, and whoever says GSp is not humble ahs never heard his post-fight and pre-fight comments to the end. Roger out.

pretty pumped about GSP and Wandy. The only other fight that interest me is Lister. Is that Manny from the show?

yea brother thats Manny from the show

I’m gonna say once and for all Hughes will not get beatin by GSP, and all of you doubters will see!!!!!!!

Does anybody know where I can watch UFC 79 in Denver, CO. I’m from Ohio but I will be visiting my friends over there!!

could y’all discuss gsp vs hughes.
predictions, possible strategies, the possible ways it might play out.
i’m not sure about Hughes strategy, as gsp is hard to take down and if that’’s hugh’s only focus he could get knocked out on his chute. His striking didn’y work last time…
He’s gotta take it to the mat anyway possible. even faking being really rocked on the way down. anything…

GSP by TKO in the 2nd, maybe the 3rd!

Here’s how I break it down. Hughes probably took GSP lightly in their last fight and he has probably been training like a madman for Serra. GSP has finally gotten himself a real MMA coach/team behind him which should flesh out his incredible raw talent, and he likely learned a great deal about himself in the loss to Serra.

So how can I predict GSP by TKO? I simply believe that GSP has Matt’s number. If you watch their first fight GSP was very aggressive and scored a lot. Most people would have given him that first round if he hadn’t gotten could in that arm bar. In their last fight a mentally toughtened GSP put on a striking clinic and Matt H paid the price.

This time around I see Matt trying even harder, and failing, to take GSP down. He couldn’t do it in their last fight and another outstanding wrestler, Josh Koscheck, couldn’t do it in St. Pierre’s last fight. Therefore, the fight will likely remain standing and result in a long night of flashbacks for Hughes.

i wonder if GSP will try to surprise him by taking it to the mat like with Koscheck. It worked with koshcheck cause he mostly got top position although Koscheck reversed it at the end the 1st or second. I bet GSP would have also won against Koscheck if he kept it standing, but he didnt wanna risk getting taken down. He might not worry so much against hugh’s as he does seem to have his number. we’ll see should be great even if nothing drastically new to the math up it’ll still be watching things play out anew with 2 giants

Good point, pgamil. GSP is no novice on the ground and might actually be able to maintain top control should he get Hughes down. I read a recent article in The Sun that quoted GSP as saying he has a Plan A, B and C, so I’m sure one of them includes a Koscheck like performance. Regardless, although I’m a huge GSP fan, I believe that on the 29th we are going to see the two best welterweights in the sport go at it, both with something to prove, and we fans will be the ultimate winners.

this is funny. And Tim Sylvia will do a back flip after his next victory!

Why is everybody hating on Matt H. He’s one of the greatest fighters of all time, and Serra is just a loud mouth anyway. I go with Hughes all the way.

Chuck is a lucky striker with power, enough said!

This is going to be a SICK night of fights!

WAR WANDY!!!

WAR GSP!!!

WAR SOKO!!!

pretty pumped about GSP and Wandy. The only other fight that interest me is Lister. Is that Manny from the show?

ya thats manny for the show. but hes not even on the main card

wandy is going to get knocked out

predictions
hughes wins by ko high kick in the first
chuck wins by rear naked choke in the second
lyoto wins by ko punch in the first

“if” chuck wins it will be because of a stoppage from punches.
i dont even think hughes can lift his leg high enough to kick st pierre in thehead???when have u ever seen a knock out from a high kick from hughes?

War Axe Murderer!
War Rush! been stickin with you from the start, dont let your nerves fail you now!
War Machida…though thats more a wish than a roar of support,because Machida tends to be boring as h*ll
and trench fight Guillard!!

War all my MMAPLAYGROUND MONEY on Rich Clementi, Wanderlei Silva and Matt Hughes!

I hate Melvin… I hope he gets choked out.

wow, i havent seen hughes look that shredded in a long time, maybe ever. chuck was looking good for chuck too! macida looks ready to bring it, win or lose. i think we, the fans, will be treated to 3 absolute wars or ass kickings :)

LMAO…
Whats a president?

It’s a few hours away from fight time and I am freaking out with anticipation. I can’t sit stil. I can’t relax. I’ve burned four pounds just from pacing. I’m having trouble dealing with how excited I am! Good luck to all the fighters tonight. WAR ALL !!

why is every 1 writting off chuck. i think wandy will come in blazing and get knocked out

Okay Melvin Guillard, we all thought you learned your lesson from snorting coke.. I guess not eh?

Let me state this before the fights begin, if somehow Chuck/Wanderlei goes to a decision, Chuck Liddell WILL win the fight.

If GSP/Hughes goes to a decision I 100% guarantee you that GSP will win because the UFC wants GSP/Serra in Canada.

Boeck via Unam Decision.

Chuck/ Axe Murderer will not go to decision, its impossible.

Chuck/ Axe Murderer will not go to decision, its impossible.

I hope it goes to a decision.

I want this to be a Forrest/Bonnar fight but with more if that is possible.

I want to see a draw. So nobody wins, and we have to see it again.

i wanna see sanchez get kod big time

you are a knob head for saying that mate

way to go Bocek

at least the knob is telling the truth jk but seriously unless chuck has stepped up his game after jardine, wand will only have to remember how jardine got chuck and follow along with some axe-spice mixed in to turn the cage red

chucks not been the same fighter for a while, im hopeing this fight is gonna excite him like sex to a virgin, where in for a battle.

we sure are, in all three main events, which is even more awesome !

LMAO, Great Job Luis Cane, welcome to the UFC, where you CAN NOT flying knee an opponent while he is down on the ground.

Thanks for losing me money Luis… Thanks.

PRELIM FIGHTS

Fight #1:
-Doug Evans vs. Mark Bocek

Round 1: Round one opens with Bocek looking for a takedown immediately. No luck, but Bocek throws up a sloppy high kick that misses, which Evans responded to by landing a hard one-two combo that stunned Bocek. After defending more takedown attempts Bocek finally gets Evans down near the end of the round, but does nothing with the position. Likely 10-9 for Evans.

Round 2: Bocek comes out again looking for a quick takedown only to see it well-defended by Evans. A few attempts later, Bocek scores a double leg that puts Evans on his back. Evans works back to his feet only to be taken down again – this time by a big slam. Bocek works some solid elbows to close out the round, cutting Evans over the left eye in the process. 10-9 Bocek, with the last round likely deciding the winner.

Round 3: Bocek gets Evans down immediately to start the final round. He’s not doing much with the position and the referee stands the two back up. Bocek again quickly gets Evans to the ground. Evans is now working for submissions from the bottom, but Bocek is avoiding them pretty easily. Referee again stands the combatants up as the round runs out. Should be Bocek’s round and fight.

Mark Bocek def. Doug Evans via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) after 3 Rounds.

Fight #2:
-Tony DeSouza vs. Roan Carneiro

Round 1: Carneiro gets a takedown quickly on DeSouza to open the first. DeSouza is working for submissions from his back but doesn’t lock any up enough to finish. Carneiro gets DeSouza’s back and is looking for the rear naked choke. He transitions to a kimura attempt but DeSouza uses it to sweep Carneiro and take top position. The two battle for position to finish out the first round.

Round 2: The two are clinched against the cage here early in the second. Not a lot going on and the referee has enough. We get a restart. Carneiro gets an easy double-leg takedown but as DeSouza quickly gets back to his feet, Carneiro takes his back. He has him back on the ground now and is pounding away. The ref jumps in to stop the action, giving Carneiro the victory.

Roan Carneiro def. Tony DeSouza via TKO (ref stoppage – strikes) at 3:30 of Round 2.

Fight #3:
-Dean Lister vs. Jordan Radev

Round 1: Lister is working for a takedown here in the first. He’s landing leg kicks and a few kicks to the body, but is only trying to distract Radev to get him down on the ground. Lister tries pulling guard, but that isn’t working either. Radev is defending well the whole round, but Lister is more aggressive in terms of offense – so as the boring round ends, it should be 10-9 for Lister so far.

Round 2: The second round isn’t giving me much to type about (and I struggled in round one as it is to find stuff to write about) as it’s very similar to the previous round. The crowd is letting them have it, filling the sounds of the air with “boo’s.” Lister finally gets a takedown – and a big one at that near the end of the round. Lister gains mount and is working for an armbar. No dice. Lister is landing elbows to Radev’s face as the round ends. Another 10-9 for Lister. Boring fight so far. Final round up next!

Round 3: Lister comes out again looking desperate to get Radev to the ground. He’s not having much success yet either. Lister finally gets a takedown about half way through the round and quickly passes to half-guard. Nothing much happens as he remains on top doing little in terms of offense as the horn sounds to end the round, and probably wake up 80% of the audience that fell asleep during this contest.

Dean Lister def. Jordan Radev via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) after 3 Rounds.

Fight #4:
-Manny Gamburyan vs. Nate Mohr

Round 1: Gamburyan comes out aggressively seeking a takedown, but fails in two attempts. Gamburyan gets Mohr down on attempt numero tres, and quickly drops back for a leg submission that forces a tap out quickly in round one.

Manny Gamburyan def. Nate Mohr via Submission (ankle lock) at 1:31 of Round 1.

Fight #5:
-James Irvin vs. Luis Cane

Round 1: In progress …

Round 2:
Round 3:

Fight #5:
-James Irvin vs. Luis Cane

Round 1: Cane lands two big shots early in the round that hurt Irvin. Irvin decides to brawl back wildly himself. Cane is back-peddaling now and Irvin is bull-rushing in looking for a guillotine choke. While still on the ground, Cane crushes a knee into Irvin that knocks him out and ends the fight – but giving the the unconscious combatant the victory due to the finish being an illegal strike.

James Irvin def. Luis Cane via Disqualification (knee on ground) at 1:51 of Round 1.

way to go Bocek, yea.

Can anyone send an update? I’m poor and dont have the PPV. Thanks.

Ok for everyone out there let me tell you exactly ho the only to real fights on this card are going to go. First of Chuck Lidell love to watch you fight but if rampage beat you like a bitch then you dont have a snowballs chance in hell against the axe murderer. K.O. Silvia inside 1:00 of the first. Now for the best fight of the night my boy and fellow canadian GSP is what Matt Huges was A few years ago and with that being said i think it will be a close fight and i have GSP winning by rear naked choke in the third round.

Know on another mma event that needs to happen i wonder why kimbo slice backed out of a fight with a real although older fighter in tank abbott. Kimbo says he wants to be taken seriously as a mma fighter yet all he is done was beat up the old man ray mercer and a tomato can name bo cantrell. Is Kimbo for real in my opinion he is just hype and he ducked tank because he knows that he doesnt have any chance to beat tank and doesnt want to get his head knocked of. he needs to go back to fighting losers on the street cause he will never be anything in mma except a joke like butterbean was in the 90s.

so what do yhall think about Melvin Guilard??

grr my town sucks..NO ONE is showing the fight..i have to order it.PPV BABY!!! going to be a good fight!

aggreed. chuck hassent been the same lately and i question his skills, but anything can happin…the ax murder doeasent have a good UFC fight list tho.. he hassengt beeten anybuddy good in the UFC just pride fights, ill be interested to see how he fairs commin into the UFC again…however he did in fact beat up Rampage, as far as the GSP and Matt Hughes fight GSP i thinks gunna burn Matt in 1st round maybe second…and about the kimbo slice guy,,,he hassent beet no one but bums!!! i hate that guy…

I am so happy to see Lister back in the octagon!

Oh My Oh My……what a treat.

Vintage Liddell…a very rich Clementi…cudos.
Looks like Canada had a pretty good
shot at an Olympic medal. GSP is
a monster. Mr Hughes did his best.

GSP is the MAN!!!!!! enough said.

I really wanted Silva to win, but Chuck did good job. He really landed some massive hits on Silva.

What I disliked immensely however is how Chuck basically coasted in the last round. I hate Chuck, but i’m saying knock wandi out, don’t coast like a punk. Then he takes wandi down and just holds him there. Vintage chuck my ass, vintage Chuck is knocking a guy out until the ref tears him off. Not here.

I also wish Wandi would have bombed on Chuck the one time Chuck dropped/fell, but no Wandi just stands there and waits for Chuck to stand up. You just lost the fight Wandi.

Kudos to GSP for dismantling Hughes. Looks like all the GSP bandwagoners might be on to somethime. I love how GSP was able to submit Hughes.

What was that you were sayin’ Jdawg?St. Pierre is the best. He beat Hughes at his own game. This guy is awesome. And what class he has to give the belt back saying Serra was the true champion. He will fight Serra in April in Montreal and should beat him no problem as long as the heart of the lion is still in him.

Also, Liddell is a great fighter. I believe his next fight should be be Thiago Silva who is undefeated and beat Houston Alexander.

gsp should still go to the olympics as serra needs to heal before his beating

OK, I was right about LIDDELL WINNING, GSP WINNING… but man if only Wanderlei was on roids he’d won..lol.

I’m a big GSP fan, but I’m begining to wonder if he’s on anything PERFORMANCE ENHANCING… and is just somehow able to pass the drug test with flying colors… seriously… GSP was waaayyyy STRONGER than HUGHES this time around…. his strength and intensity was very suspect to me.

Just seeing Hughes verbally tap was worth the money spent. Hang up the gloves already!

Mike Goldberg has got to be the worst announcer in the history of sporting events. He has no clue what he’s talking about, and he annoys the hell out of me.

WOW! What a card! Lots of class shown by the four main event fighters!

that was a great card. GSP looks unstoppable. I found myself saying after the fight, how in the hell did serra beat him. Liddell looked very good as well. It was by far the best card of the year. Money well spent.

CHUCK IS BACK!!!!!

BUT HE WILL NEVER DEFEAT RAMPAGE.AND NEITHER WILL FORREST.

Great wins for GSP and the Iceman. That was the first time I seen Silva fight, and I think that he’ll be a great contender. I told all my friends that Chuck will get him, and they didn’t believe, Chuck is back.

GSP took Matt to school in that fight and I can’t wait to see GSP knock big mouth Serra out in 08.

SOKO dissapointed me.

Happy Retirement Matt Hughes ! Silva will be BACK !!!!!

Where’s “True Believer” ?

NO, CHUCK WON?! NO NO NOOOOO!!!

I knew gsp was good but I’m surprised at his ability to own hughes, God how did serra beat him??? Was the fight rigged, I can believe the difference between the two fights…weird. And to all the people out there who thought arianny was a moron for picking gsp to submit hughes in the third round……..ah ha I love it. I knew it could happen he might even submit serra its not a bjj contest, while your getting your face pounded in, guys sometimes give up there back or give an arm.

I cant beleive the axe murderer faught chucks fight WHERE THE HELL WAS THE CLINCH AND THE KNEES AND THE FIGHTING ON THE INSIDE chuck dictated the whole pace of the fight. And when silva did have chuck in trouble he was to hurt himself to capitalize. This fight does not discredit silva in any way THERE IS NOT ANY FIGHTER IN MMA WHO COULD HAVE TAKEN THE SHOTS THAT SILVA TOOK WITHOUT BEING KTFO. That is just a true testament of silvas skill and heart. Great fight by two warriors.

I stand corrected….GSP solidified himself as the best welterwieght fighter in the world tonight. his one and only weekness is his chin. But I give him credit he is going to be the top fighter in the WW division for a long time. I respect gsp and look forward to seeing him dominate in the future.

Machida is a bad Mother f**ker he is the most technically sound fighter in the UFC he deserves the winner of jackson/griffin and I think he is the next LHW champion.

Chuck/ Axe Murderer will not go to decision, its impossible.

hahahaah…. haven’t we learned that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE in this sport!!! :D

i picked Silva 2nd rnd TKO.

Silva needs his juice. give him his juice already!!! haha

Im so happy chuck won you guys shut the hell up now chucks on another winningstreak

K back to seriousness here, not that that shit wasn’t funny…

Did anybody else who has watched the preview video think it sorta shocking to hear White say basically that the loser of Wanderlei-Liddell, is finished? LMAO, I mean he said “their life is on the line.” He just signed Silva! What if he loses?! Shit, there’s no coming back from that.

Yeah, Dana’s always trying to pump sh-t up to make it more than it is. LMAO!!! “their life is on the line” Did he really say that? I can’t really remember, I try to tune Dana out. I think he must talk that way to make himself seem more important than what he really is. Bless his little soul, I hope his mother loves him.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

But Canadian crap is only about 68% of the crap he would beat out of an American.

LOL!!! Whenever I comment “Wow, he’s really good” about a Canadian fighter, my boyfriend always says “Of COURSE he is, he’s Canadian! They’re tough motherf-ckers! Never underestimate anyone from Canada.”

Just seeing Hughes verbally tap was worth the money spent. Hang up the gloves already!

Agreed. I NEVER thought I’d see Hughes tap, never. I would have thought he’d let his arm snap before he’d tap. Seeing him verbally tap wasn’t as great as I thought it would be though, I kind of felt sorry for him tonight. I didn’t think I would ever say that, but….

What a card. I was so hyped that GSP won by armbar no less…I guess karma’s a…well, you know. I have to give a lot of respect to Hughes, I think he knew he was walking into a beating and he didn’t back down or try to duck St. Pierre. He was a great champion and I can’t wait for GSP to hand Serra a beating, and then Hughes to hand him one as well.

I really enjoyed the Liddell fight, I’m not a huge fan of his or anything, but both of those guys came to fight for the first two rounds. It was an absolute war and I’m glad it went to decision. This is definately a DVD I will buy.

I enjoyed most of the fights, I saw, however I can’t remember any because I was looking forward to the GSP fight.

I picked liddel to win and he won, gsp to win and he won
   and soko to win but he lost, 2 out of 3 isn’t too bad I’ve done worse. To be honest I wasn’t so sure soko would win but wanted him too, lyoto is a stud though.

I forgot to change my name, but anyianna was right, lol it made my night. Best christmas present I had in a long time.

what a fight, Iceman took the fight to him, and awesome effort that silva was still standing after all those shots, W silva couldn’t be knocked down…Great fight by both guys. Hughes got crushed, I hope everyone did well on their bets. Awesome night..

But Canadian crap is only about 68% of the crap he would beat out of an American."

“I cant beleive the axe murderer faught chucks fight WHERE THE HELL WAS THE CLINCH AND THE KNEES AND THE FIGHTING ON THE INSIDE chuck dictated the whole pace of the fight. "

word, i give wandi all the credit in the world for fighting with a tremendous amount of heart. but where were his knees?? where was the muy thai clinch?? he basically fought a chuck taylored fight. even though chuck won, he looked pretty sloppy. i say he’s only got one to two fights left in him. he’s starting to get those old man legs. chuck should fight rashad evans next. they are both teatering on the top five door.

gsp was absolutely dominant tonight. i cant believe how bad he maked hughes look. i also have new found respect for hughes for admiting that gsp is the better fighter. cant wait for gsp to fight serra.

machida looked really good, but c’mon he doesnt deserve the title shot just yet. he should fight jardine, with the winner getting the title shot against the winner of rampage vs griffin.

the sanchez vs soa fight could have been the sloppiest fight ever on a maincard!

manny looked really good. provided he doesnt have chronic shoulder problems he will be a lightweight contender in the within two years.

ps i love gsp, but anderson silva is my favorite fighter. i would love to see those two fight. even though gsp is quicker and a better wrestler i would put my money on silva because he has the edge in striking and jujistu.

i can not f%cking wait til silva vs hendo!!!!

Good to see Chuck win, I lke GSP and ive always liked Hughes cant take anything away from GSP he’s the man but Hughes hasnt looked like the fighter he used to be for quite awhile. I think he’s gotten what he wanted from the sport he’s a hall of famer for sure. Lookin foward to GSP beatin Serra. I knew Machida would most likely defeat Soku i think at this point Machida has proven himself he might not be exciting most of the time but he gets the job done.

ps i love gsp, but anderson silva is my favorite fighter. i would love to see those two fight. even though gsp is quicker and a better wrestler i would put my money on silva because he has the edge in striking and jujistu.

i can not f%cking wait til silva vs hendo!!!!

I agree on everything you said but would caveat any Pride-style out of weight class bout (GSP vs. Silva) would definitely be an exhibition bout and have ZERO impact on the fighter’s ranking within their division. If GSP reins as Welterweight champ for the next 5 years and then decides to move up a weight officially, then go for it dude.

Matt Hughes has talked about fighting Silva. That might happen sometime next year especially if the Spider puts Henderson away because then he really has cleaned house.

>>Georges St. Pierre defeats Matt Hughes
Great fight- GSP totally dominated. I tend to think father time has caught up with Matt Hughes. If you time machined in a five to ten year younger Hughes, it might have gone five and been much closer. GSP should put Serra away and then we should see Matt vs. Matt finally. Matt Hughes has totally redeemed himself as a class act in my book. He didn’t offer up any Tito excuses for losing the fight and congratulated George.

>>Chuck Liddell defeats Wanderlei Silva
First of all, this fight should have happened two or three years ago. Taking into account octagon jitters, Silva did pretty well. I hope the UFC gives Silva a few more fights. Granted he is getting up there in age and probably won’t contend for the belt- just like Liddel. The two of them should be allowed to keep fighting in the UFC and prune the competition. I’m sure Rampage would love to get one more shot at Silva also but he has already lost twice to him. The thing in Rampage’s favor is both those fights were in Pride so most of the current UFC audience would like to see them go at it.

>>Eddie Sanchez defeats Soa Palalei
This hugfest shouldn’t have been aired. Bocek-Evans instead based on names alone.

>>Lyoto Machida defeats Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Excellent matchup and surprising finish. This Sokoudjou guy is like what’s his name (KO’d Keith Jardine)- two quick KO victories over quality opponents and everyone was talking title shot. But the lack of Juijitsu skills costs them. To Sok’s credit he is young and has time to continue to develop.
I think Machida needs one more win and then give him a shot. Rampage is already scheduled to fight Henderson and Forrest. Assuming he wins, then maybe Wanderlei Silva or Machida.

Oh, I was glad to see Melvin get it handed to him. The young mouth assassin should talk less and train more… and snort less cocaine of course.

I was thinking, you know what fight I would love to see? Even more than Randy VS Fedor.

What about Chuck Liddell or Even Wanderlei or Rampage vs Mike Goldberg.

I would love to see one of those guys beat Goldberg down. No ref.

Wandy is still marketable….It looks like the UFC made some good moves…Chuck was awosme tonight, as is Wandy. No one can take away history last night, not even Dana…Looks like it’s going to be a very bright future for the UFC

GSP all day everyday!…GSP owned Huges every min of the match. Looks like the UFC is going to need a whole new set of fighters for the ww division. After GSP devistates Serra, their is no one else left..Fuck sakes…Hopefully it doesnn’t take 10 months to bring a worthy opponent in!

Soko….Huge disappointment for me..Soko made me look bad tonight..:The African Assasin" was one of the few Pride fighters i was looking forward to coming into the UFC..

Looks like The UFC made their point!…The UFC own’s Pride all day…say what you want..UFC OWNED Pride the lasf few months…..

“Round two: NOw he has his back with DEEP hooks in!! Hughes scrambles and GSP lets go of his hooks. Hughes reverses!! Hughes with a single leg. Both fighters exchange knees. St Pierre with a SICK judo throw!!! Now hes on top! St Pierre locks in an arm bar!! Thats it its all over. WOW! Complete domination by GSP.

Haha, did Joe Rogan write this review??

Awesome stuff. The fights were great, well done UFC! WAR GSP!!

“Yes I can see that happening, then moving up to take the belt from Rampage, then after that taking the HEAVYWIEGHT BELT !!!”

Come on man..This isn’t Sherdog..Give it a break…

“But Canadian crap is only about 68% of the crap he would beat out of an American.”

Please don’t start with the American Canadian BS…Who ever claims their Anerican or Canadian are from another country..so give it up…lets not go their ok!

Here is what I DON’T understand…. Why did Chuck keep looking at the clock in the 3rd round? It was like the UFC told him NOT to finish the fight. Seriuosly?? That is not Chuck’s style. I have never seen him lay down a barrage of punches with someone’s back against the cage only to stop for no apparent reason and watch the clock for the next 2 minutes.

Feels way rigged to me. I hate conspiracy theories, but something was going on there. Wandy could have laid Chuck out when he was stumbling and Chuck could have finished Wandy when his back was to the cage.

Disgusting, IMO.

I’m so disappointed in wandy, he fought chuck’s fight, not his. He wasn’t aggressive, he respected chuck’s game to much. I guess that’s what happens when you leave chute boxe, stop training muy thay and only concentrates on boxing and jiu jitsu. That’s not wanderlei, that’s vitor belfort lol. The guy brings a boxing coach, a jiu jitsu trainer and a nutritionist from brazil, it was a bad idea to leave chute boxe, you need a team of great athelets to train with. I think wandy will still give great fights ahead, but he will never hold the belt again, neither will liddell. Two great fighters, I think their time has come however. I still have high hopes for shogun to make a comeback cause he is still very young, hope he’ll be back in top shape (but the fool decided to leave chute boxe too, can’t understand these ppls decision).

I bet Sokoudjou really feels like an ass coming down the aisle with the Predator mask on. I kept asking myself, WTF?? Is this WWE? Lose the costume, Soko.

The Chuck/Wandi fight was good. Glad to see some strikers fight. Too many fights recently have gone to the ground and stayed there. I don’t mind some of the ground game but if it has to be just one, I’ll take strikers any day. Wandi’s face was starting to look pretty messed up.

I only wanted to see Hughes win so that I could see the grudge match with Serra after TUF. Hughes is getting old and apparently wants to become an author. He’s been a great fighter in the past and I hope he enjoys life. GSP looked great. I’ll look forward to him shutting Serra up once and for all.

Yeah GSP…

I cant wait to see the fights, I was too cheap to watch em…

SOKO I should have known youd f’up.

yeah, that made me go crazy on the second round where wandy dropped chuck twice and didn’t finish him, and on the third round when wandy was a bit rocked and chuck backed away and looked at the clock, i don’t know, all i know is that this loss will not make wandy look so bad as if it was chuck’s loss. can you imagine if wandy said “ok, i’ll let you win but you can’t knock me out”, it didn’t happen, but it does make me think a bit since both did not want to finish the fight. I’m still going to say this was a legit win for chuck, I can’t think this was fixed, because otherwise I’d stop watching mma.

Chuck… I am glad you won in a way. Silva will stay around even if he loses 2 or so more fights. Chuck would have probably been done. UFC has Silva new contract so they’ll keep him. And can chalk it up to ring awareness.

K back to seriousness here, not that that shit wasn’t funny…

Did anybody else who has watched the preview video think it sorta shocking to hear White say basically that the loser of Wanderlei-Liddell, is finished? LMAO, I mean he said “their life is on the line.” He just signed Silva! What if he loses?! Shit, there’s no coming back from that.

I really feel that those statements made by Dana, were really more about Chuck then Wandy. Dana is Chucks friend he is not going to admit that if he looses Chucks is done in the UFC. Silva on the other hand if he loossc, lost to the poster boy of th eUFC. The Guy who most of the experts agreed had the perfect counter for Sylvisa’s wild hands.

Matt “Verbal Submission” Hughes! That wasn’t even a fight. It was like watching me 28 beat up a little kid. GSP just took him apart. No one is touching that belt any time soon. After he pulls Matt serra spine out of his Arse he should have a non-title fight with Anderson Silva. Asuming Silva beats Hendo.

I cant beleive the axe murderer faught chucks fight WHERE THE HELL WAS THE CLINCH AND THE KNEES AND THE FIGHTING ON THE INSIDE chuck dictated the whole pace of the fight. And when silva did have chuck in trouble he was to hurt himself to capitalize. This fight does not discredit silva in any way THERE IS NOT ANY FIGHTER IN MMA WHO COULD HAVE TAKEN THE SHOTS THAT SILVA TOOK WITHOUT BEING KTFO. That is just a true testament of silvas skill and heart. Great fight by two warriors.

.

You are dead on! No one could have been bsuted in the face that many times by Liddell and still be standing throwing bombs with him lol that was a badass fight! SIlva is a freakin warrior man, his face was mush but he would not go down or stop fighting! I think he will do great in the UFC! and for Chuck, I’m glad he did not dissapoint his fans! Go Chuck!

Were is c-war,jdawg and true believer? I love it. Gsp made my new years.

Good fights in the card!

Hate to nitpick, but why is someone spelling LIDDELL’S name wrong after all this time. It makes me think whoever’s doing the PBP is new to the sport.

Anyway….good win for Machida, too. He’s definitely in title contention.

Here is what I DON’T understand…. Why did Chuck keep looking at the clock in the 3rd round? It was like the UFC told him NOT to finish the fight. Seriuosly?? That is not Chuck’s style. I have never seen him lay down a barrage of punches with someone’s back against the cage only to stop for no apparent reason and watch the clock for the next 2 minutes.

Feels way rigged to me. I hate conspiracy theories, but something was going on there. Wandy could have laid Chuck out when he was stumbling and Chuck could have finished Wandy when his back was to the cage.

Disgusting, IMO.

Are you being serious? Chuck was raining down punches on Silva trying to finish the fight in the 3rd. The reason he was looking at the clock was because he was gonna go for that takedown at the end of the round to make sure he got the decision from the judges. If you thought that fight was fixed you have some serious mental issues.

haha – yeah, serious mental issues :) Funny.

Chuck has NEVER stopped like that in any fight I have ever seen. He threw a few punches, but he has thrown many more than that when he sees the end of the fight coming, I think we all know that. As far as fixed… who knows for sure. I just think it was unlike anything I have ever seen from him before.

I could understand Wanderlei’s tenativeness in following up when Chuck was hurt only because he would typically throw kicks to the head at that point and those rules don’t apply to the UFC. Looked like he was unsure how to follow and felt he could just punch some more to finish.

beat up a little kid. GSP just took him apart. No one is touching that belt any time soon. After he pulls Matt serra spine out of his Arse he should have a non-title fight with Anderson Silva. Asuming Silva beats Hendo.

If Fedor keeps taking nonsense fights then a future Andeerson Silva vs GSP fight would be for the Best Pound for Pound MMA’ist. That is if GSP can get the belt off Serra and beat the contenders like Fitch, Karo and BJ Penn if he moves up and Silva can get past Hendo then beat any matchups with Tanner, Lindland and Filho.

The best pound 4 pound fight would be PENN/GSP 2.

Were is c-war,jdawg and true believer? I love it. Gsp made my new years.

Im here. Matt Hughes was a huge dissapointment. I knew either GSP or Hughes was going to get completely dominated. I just thought Hughes knew what he was up against and was gonna take him out. I couldn’t hav been more wrong. I dont see anyone ever beating GSP again after last night, except for maybe Jon Fitch. That’s a maybe.

You dont want to rush an injured yet expereienced veteran like Silva or Liddell. It’s a good way to get over excited and keep your defence up. As for the fight being fixed…All I can say to that is, you probably were set on Silva to win and were dissapointed you didnt get to beat off to Liddell getting KOed. To even even think something like that let alone express, would still make you an idiot.

No knockouts, but the card did not dissapoint except for Sanchez/Polelei

Chuck has stopped like that before. I’m sorry I can’t recall the name of the fighter, all I can remember is that he was black. Chuck was winning and he took a look at the clock, stepped back and let the black fellow come to him; he then knocked the guy out!

I guess I didn’t expect to get called names for expressing my opinion :( And, for the record, I bet on Liddell to win. I am a huge Iceman fan.

calm down buddy, if you actually read my post calmly you’d have noticed I never said it was rigid, I said it was weird that neither followed up and tried to finish the fight. I don’t care who their opponents may be, both chuck and wandy ALWAYS followed up when they drop someone to try to finish the fight, but it didn’t happen this time. I also said that this was a LEGIT win for your boy chuck, yes I was rooting for wandy, but I agree that chuck won fair and square. no need to get all fired up when someone points something weird that they noticed, try taking some of that sand out of your panties :p

“But Canadian crap is only about 68% of the crap he would beat out of an American.”

Please don’t start with the American Canadian BS…Who ever claims their Anerican or Canadian are from another country..

In this case, they’re either from America or Canada.

Hughes has said numerous times that he hoped to catch st pierre at a bad time as he likes to structure his workouts with extra time and what not. So basically he’s saying that he’s taking this fight because he has a better chance catching st pierre on short notice. Shouldn’t you want to fight a fighter that’s absolutely in top condition?

Not if it’s GSP, Hughes remembers the domination and he wants every advantage he can get. To bad that backfired, GSP is the best he has ever been.

Were is c-war,jdawg and true believer? I love it. Gsp made my new years.

I’m here too.i had to work today.i never said hughes would beat him is simply said i hope he does.but i gotta admitt GSP look good and totaly macked Matt.i do have more respect for him now(but just a little) for giving the belt back.He knows he not champ until you beat the champ and still dont like him though.glad Chuck won but was hoping for a ko.still a great great fight though.wandi got worked over.

id like to see Gsp vs Nick Diaz or Jon Fitch if Serra’s not healthy soon.

what i think is funny is most of you are talking like gsp has already won.i wouldnt be surpise if he loses again.so sick of this gsp bandwagon is f—cking ridiculous he only had one impressive victory and that was 2nd fight with Matt.who has he beat really?i know he won the fight with BJ (technically)but BJ whipped his ass just look at their faces.he couldnt finish Jason Mayhem.Jason f—cking Mayhem!oh yeah and he koed Jay Heron…whoop-de f—cking-doo.Sherk another smaller fighter and Trigg (wow) Frank Trigg! gsp is a talented fighter be imo way way way o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d.Then a guy smaller,prolly not as strong and not known to be a striker knocked him to never never land.GSP is talented but he get phyced out to easy,you have to be mentally strong to do what they do for a career which he’s NOT.so dont be surprised if Matt taps him out again.oh and another thing for all you Chuck doubters.ICEMAN ko in the first or second.bet on it
Very interesting take JDawg, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
well thanks but it needed to be said.i hate when someone does ok and the promoters blow them up bigger than what they are.Then there is a retarded wave of bandwagoners that hug nuts.

I held off as long as I could, now this needs to be said, Gsp OWNED EVERY WW except for Sera and Sera will get owned when they meet again. If you think GSP is just ok, you need to wake up and smell the new breed of MMA fighter. The only truth to your post is, you hate GSP. Looks Like he retired Hughes, enough said.

OK, I was right about LIDDELL WINNING, GSP WINNING… but man if only Wanderlei was on roids he’d won..lol.
I’m a big GSP fan, but I’m begining to wonder if he’s on anything PERFORMANCE ENHANCING… and is just somehow able to pass the drug test with flying colors… seriously… GSP was waaayyyy STRONGER than HUGHES this time around…. his strength and intensity was very suspect to me.

First ,I seriously don’t think GSP would cheat to win (it just wouldn’t mean anything to him). When has he taken the easy way. Second , he trains very intelligently and pretty much year round. Third, his strength has increaced slowly over the years(like it would naturally). Fourth, you just can’t hide some of the signs of the juice(I’ve never seen anyone juice without their tricepts blowing up like balloons)even from the SKINNIEST arms. Gsp has fairly small tricepts. Fifth, I don’t blame you for thinking that,because GSP has just stepped up another level. Matt looked to be (and said he was) in the best shape ever and GSP gassed him in the first round (with his relentless pace) and just dominated Hughes in his own world.

haha – yeah, serious mental issues :) Funny.

Thats a good point, he could have been apprehensive. I just wish he would have jumped on him and used those elbows he said he was practicing.

I cant beleive the axe murderer faught chucks fight WHERE THE HELL WAS THE CLINCH AND THE KNEES AND THE FIGHTING ON THE INSIDE chuck dictated the whole pace of the fight. And when silva did have chuck in trouble he was to hurt himself to capitalize. This fight does not discredit silva in any way THERE IS NOT ANY FIGHTER IN MMA WHO COULD HAVE TAKEN THE SHOTS THAT SILVA TOOK WITHOUT BEING KTFO. That is just a true testament of silvas skill and heart. Great fight by two warriors.
I stand corrected….GSP solidified himself as the best welterwieght fighter in the world tonight. his one and only weekness is his chin. But I give him credit he is going to be the top fighter in the WW division for a long time. I respect gsp and look forward to seeing him dominate in the future.
Machida is a bad Mother f**ker he is the most technically sound fighter in the UFC he deserves the winner of jackson/griffin and I think he is the next LHW champion.

You are right about ,no one could take that many of Chucks bombs and survive, but then you go on to say GSP has a week chin. Sera hits FREEKIN HARD and he landed about 10 solid blows and GSP didn’t go out. That is pretty impressive that Sera was the only one to test his chin though. I also agree, Machida is a threat to any LHW.

the ice age has returned, all you chuck haters….you might have jumped off the chuck bandwagon a little early :) kudos to wandy, hell of a fight!!

Here is what I DON’T understand…. Why did Chuck keep looking at the clock in the 3rd round? It was like the UFC told him NOT to finish the fight. Seriuosly?? That is not Chuck’s style. I have never seen him lay down a barrage of punches with someone’s back against the cage only to stop for no apparent reason and watch the clock for the next 2 minutes.

Disgusting, IMO.

Chuck was looking at the clock, because he was gassed and Wandy was fairly tired himself. The way they were throughing leather, I think they were trying to KO each other. Chuck didn’t finish Silva for one reason, and only one reason, Silva has a HARD freekin head.

“I cant beleive the axe murderer faught chucks fight WHERE THE HELL WAS THE CLINCH AND THE KNEES AND THE FIGHTING ON THE INSIDE chuck dictated the whole pace of the fight. "

It’s pretty simple, he would have to get close to Chuck and getting to close to Chuck is like getting to close to a bee hive, YOU GET STUNG!

Good to see Chuck win, I lke GSP and ive always liked Hughes cant take anything away from GSP he’s the man but Hughes hasnt looked like the fighter he used to be for quite awhile. I think he’s gotten what he wanted from the sport he’s a hall of famer for sure. Lookin foward to GSP beatin Serra. I knew Machida would most likely defeat Soku i think at this point Machida has proven himself he might not be exciting most of the time but he gets the job done.

Kos didn’t look as good as he used to either. GSP has evolved to another level (Judo throws, better wrestling than ever and 2 or 3 submission at the same time, on a great submission fighter like Matt). Not to mention his ever increasing strength and explosive power. GSP is so good now , it seems he can pick his poison and end the fight however he chooses, even on the best WW of all time. Lastly he gets better every fight.

I’m so disappointed in wandy, he fought chuck’s fight, not his. He wasn’t aggressive, he respected chuck’s game to much. I guess that’s what happens when you leave chute boxe, stop training muy thay and only concentrates on boxing and jiu jitsu. That’s not wanderlei, that’s vitor belfort lol. The guy brings a boxing coach, a jiu jitsu trainer and a nutritionist from brazil, it was a bad idea to leave chute boxe, you need a team of great athelets to train with. I think wandy will still give great fights ahead, but he will never hold the belt again, neither will liddell. Two great fighters, I think their time has come however. I still have high hopes for shogun to make a comeback cause he is still very young, hope he’ll be back in top shape (but the fool decided to leave chute boxe too, can’t understand these ppls decision).

Don’t get me wrong, all the guys from chute boxe are good fighters, but the thing that made them seem better than they are, they can’t bring to the cage. STEROIDS.

Were is c-war,jdawg and true believer? I love it. Gsp made my new years.

Somewhere with their tail between their legs.

Funny that Tito Ortiz said in an interview that he thought W. Silva gets a weaker chin every time he gets KO’d, i.e, against Cro Cop and then Hendo, but fuck he could not of been more wrong! He took countless bombs on the chin from the iceman and still fired back! Tough SOB!

P.S, Chuck still did a great job and the PRIDE bumchum fans can say all they want to discredit Liddell but that does not change the fight’s outcome. Yes he is the poster-boy for the UFC but he is still a great fighter. Not to take anything away from Wandy, he is a fucking warrior. That is one aspect where I agree with PRIDE fans(HARDCORE pride mma fans, not little sappy fuckers who follow pride just to be different and bitch about the UFC).

P.S 2, Cant wait for Rampage vs Griffin!
Hey wouldn’t it be funny if Wandy Silva beat the shit of Rampage like he did twice (easily) before in Japan but in the UFC?

As for talk of Liddell never getting a title shot again…if he wins his next 2 fights it is possible, some people seem to forget that he is GOOD FRIENDS with Dana…Anyway I can see it happening cause i will never doubt an experienced veteran like Liddell.

P.S 3, I do respect pride fans, seriously, but just the ones who know what they are talking about and can accept that different people have different opinions about different fighters.

You dont want to rush an injured yet expereienced veteran like Silva or Liddell. It’s a good way to get over excited and keep your defence up. As for the fight being fixed…All I can say to that is, you probably were set on Silva to win and were dissapointed you didnt get to beat off to Liddell getting KOed. To even even think something like that let alone express, would still make you an idiot.

Fight was not fixed. Do you realize how many bombs he threw just before looking at the clock. Silva was not going down! He gased and like Rogan said he backed off to make sue he had enough energy to physically defend himself for the last 2 to 3 minutes. I would love to see the punch count on that fight from chuck. Two of Chucks knock downs were slips. One he got caught backing out and it tripped him up, the other was just a true slip. Silva rushing in on an unijured Chuck would have been the biggest mistake of his career, because if the Bombs that Chuck was landing were not hard enough there would have been added power on the overhand right plus the rush in speed from Silva, that would have out him to sleep. I think Silva was a little lost without the soccer kicks and stomps.

Also how many of oy noticed Sokudujo was basicallyknocked out from the elbows. The only reason he was not KO’d was because he was already n his back. But he was asleep before the arm triangle. His eyes wee glassed and all before hand.

I am not a fan of Hughes but to see a legend like Hughes get his ass handed to him in that fashion was almost saddening. IT was like when he beat Gracie. A kind of passing of the torch I guess.

Somewhere with their tail between their legs.

What happend to James Irvin ?
James Irvin def. Luiz “Banha” Cane – Disqualification – R1!

anyone knows?
thanks

I honestly believe that George St. Pier is on Steroids. Look at his body. His size, shape water retention and demeanor is everything u would see in someone that uses Steroids. There is now way that a guy like Matt Hughes would be demoninated by a guy with a background like St. Pier like what happened at Nemisis.

If Matt and George both took Steroids, I still believe George would still win due to his athleticism. However, I believe Matt would win, with all things being equal, and no steriods were being used.

You might say, I am being a little presumptious, maybe I am…but I am a former college football player and wrestler…I know a juice monkey when I see one.

ha ha juice money!i like that.

Anderson Silva vs. GSP would be an awesome fight. If GSP won that, he would certainly be the #1 contender at 185. I don’t know if he would be able to take the MW belt from Dan Henderson (who will have the belt after smashing Silva) though. As much as I would love to see them spice up the MW division, I would hate to see the WW division lose one of it’s most exciting fighters. Especially with a potential GSP/Fitch fight on the horizon.
