Its still 3 weeks away, got me all excited thinking its this weekend for some reason.
Why in gods green earth is Goran Reljic (7-0) vs. Wilson Gouveia (10-4) onn the main card? Soukodui vs. nakamura should be on their instead
Thiago Silva is the next big thing in the UFC

“Thiago Silva is the next big thing in the UFC”
I certainly hope so. He is one of the most underplayed talents in LHW right now, but this fight could send some signals, that is if he wins of course.

He just hasn’t really fought anyone that most fans would know other than Houston Alexander. Obviously, Houston is not as tough as everyone once thought he was, hence Thiago is not receiving as much credit as he might have if Alexander beat Irvin in convincing fashion.

It was suppossed to be Silva vs Rashad Evans on this card until they moved him to UFC 85 as the main draw – then Chuck got injuried. That was going to be Silva’s fight to fire him up the ranks. I would have loved to see Thiago destroy Rashad.
Though he hasn’t fought anyone that tough in the UFC, coming from the Chute Box Camp shows that this kid has the skills. I can’t wait to watch his progress after this fight.
by Derrick Fox on May 7, 2008 9:36 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I am a huge Thiago Silva fan, I hope he is careful though because although his opponent isn’t very well known he is dangerous. I watched his fight where he defeated Kiril (Fedor’s protege). Even though he won by doctor stoppage he looked good and has been riding a big winning streak. I really like Thiago and I am hoping that his opponent doesnt play the “spoiler role” that night, but Antonio Mendes is going to make a good impression and be a solid addition to the UFC’s most stacked division.
I love Goveai but come on, throw that fight on the under card. I do not wantt o see him fight a 23 year old croation ju jitsu fighter. Wilson is just going to knock his block off. Hopefully he ends it quickly so that there is a chance of the Soko vs. Nakamura fight being aired, as well as Rusimar Palheres’s fight.

No Sh*t …
Flat out, for those of us loyal fans who’ve purchased every pay per view for the past 10 years or so .. we should get the under card fights included as well …like it used to be!
Your screwing your fans out of great fights!… Look at how many fights on your greatest knock out compilations are under card fights ! P L E N T Y …And thats what we pay for, to see them when they happen. Not on spike 6 months later for free!
4 – 3round fights and the headliner is bunk compared to years back when you’d see 6 or 7 fights ! I guess you lured us in, now we’ll have tyo deal with the bare minimum.
BONG!

This is why I stopped buying the PPVs. You are absolutely correct. Unless you split it with a few people I feel as though I’m paying for half a show.

The only reason they don’t show prelims anymore is so Dana can milk people out of more money selling them on UFC on demand. even the dvds aren’t gauranteed to have them.
by TCd on May 24, 2008 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They don’t show all the prelims because the UFC purchases 3 hours of satellite time for each PPV. I agree they could be more efficient like WEC and skip all the build-up between fights (we already bought the show, they don’t need to keep selling it). But for the UFC to get, say, 5 hours of satellite time would drive costs way up, which would then be passed on to the consumers.

Ya BJ won. Thank God school is out in Hawaii or no one would be in class, they would make it a BJ Penn holiday. BJ is still a trash talking crap artist using the steroid thing as an excuse in case he lost he would have blamed it on that. No respect for him still. Sean Sherk is a good family man, Penn a spoiled rich kid. So all of you Sherk haters can blow.

the big 3 are all great fights, but im also very interested in seeing how soku recovers and seeing what shane carwin is all about. the ufc despereatley needs some fresh,young talent at hw. even the guys who arent w/them are gettting old.

dont worry sherk, theres no shame at all for losing on 3 best welter weights, matt hughes,GSP,Bj penn.
losing on those 3 guys is not a sahme at all :)

I know it’s already been said…. But Sokodjou not on the main card? I really like the UFC and generally are happy with their decision making. But they certainly missed the bus with Sokodjou.

Etim vs Clementi would be good on the main card too.

by UKMMA on May 7, 2008 10:19 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree. Clementi has won 5 straight fights, 3 in UFC. You could also make a case for Soko being on the main card, and I want to see if Carwin really is the Next Big Thing in the HW division, other than Lesnar of Course. Just from his Sherdog page Reljic looks like he has a nice submission game, but the UFC would have been better off saving him for a European card.

Is the muscle carp going to have less strength and look smaller because lack of his additional ‘help’
by Capt. Doug on May 7, 2008 8:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
No and No. Someone wanted to feed the “steroid” hype machine and say awhile back that he was much smaller in some photos. Same as always at the weigh-ins. Ripped.

no. the guy didnt need the roids. he is still a stellar athlete. GO SHERK. BJ is way to over rated.
by wowie on May 7, 2008 9:05 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I’m not sure that BJ is overated and i think he will win. However, i think people are generally rulling Sherk out a little soon. The guy is still capable of winning this, and it wouldn’t suprise me if he took the fight on points. I think people just don’t like the guy (me included kinda) as he’s not know to finish fights.
by UKMMA on May 7, 2008 10:24 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Finishes them as much as BJ does. The ones he hasn’t are guys that aren’t ever finished.
by PJJ on May 24, 2008 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I totally agree, I am so sick of BJ, plus the guy has a huge attitude, he thinks that everyone owes him something. Sherk looked just as big a week or so ago. His answer to how he failed the test is very legit, and it does happen all of the time. I work for a pharmaceutical company and have friends in the lab, they say that it is more common than you think.
I’m glad Rashad is not on the card, talent or not, the guy is a prick. Clementi on a roll, think he can keep it going?????
by Cisco on May 17, 2008 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Rashad was never on this card, he was on 85.
As I said in a previous thread…..go to UFC and download the photo of Sherk at the weigh in at UFC 73 and then download a photo of him at last nights weigh in.
In both photos he is striking the same pose. You will see clearly, at UFC 73 his muscles were fuller and rounder, generally more pumped.
Look closely and compare each muscle group. The obvious difference is in his traps, pecs and triceps.

Pretty sure it’s safe to say the UFC isn’t very good at arranging the cards, well not for the hardcore fans anyway. lol
by Toms Bombs on May 7, 2008 9:46 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have to disagree with many of you. This card does not look stacked to me. Gouveia and Mendes on the main card? Really? I’m finally starting to see that 12+ PPVs and several Ultimate Fight Night cards a year is spreading things too thin. I’ll watch it because I love the sport, but I won’t buy it.
by jhc on May 7, 2008 10:46 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Funny how in one of the preview videos, Sherk says BJ is not the real champ because he didn’t beat the champ. Uh Sean, you won a vacant title too you tool. I don’t think he would beat a prime Jens Pulver. I don’t even think he would beat a prime Caol Uno.
by Pat on May 7, 2008 11:07 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
You do realize that there wasn’t a champ for him to beat as the UFC had restarted the LW division, right? You don’t see a difference.
by PJJ on May 24, 2008 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
let me think………….uh no!!
neither had to beat a defending champion regardless of the circumstances

Agreed. I always felt Sherks title would never be legit until he defended it multiple times.

Let’s all assault the ufc page with demands Wilson Gouvaia; or whatever his name is, who cares; is put on the under card. I’m fucking serious. We’re payin gthese guys salaries by buying these $45 PPV’s and maybe we should have a little say in who we get to see for our $. You know when you break it down, you’re paying $9 to see each fight, and for my $9 I don’t want to see fucking 205 lbs.: Goran Reljic (7-0) vs. Wilson Gouveia (10-4)! Right?!
There’s three undercard fights that would be better fights than that. I don’t have to name them cause we all know.
I’m serious people, let’s do this. If we could get spike to show another hour maybe we could get them to not show a “ehh?” fight.
by mattchupichu on May 7, 2008 11:23 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
If you want a say, then just don’t buy it. That’s the best way to show your disapproval.
by Fishy on May 7, 2008 12:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Can we get through this just once without the same ol’ cry-baby antics?! Look at it this way…. Almost all of Reljic’s fights have been ended by sub. Wilson has a high level of ending fights early. Chances are this fight will end early which means
A)It will be an exciting fight with a clear finish
B)It will open up time for other fights to be aired, probably an undercard that also has a shortened fight time due to a finish.
I would also like to see Soko but think Nakamura will be a tough finish. That would eat a full 15 fight time on a UD. If Soko gets another highlight reel KO, we WILL get to see it. They will fit it on the broadcast so they can get hype going on him again.
Thiago will also be opening up some air time for us. Bank on it.

I can’t wait to see Wandi tear Jardine apart. Also, when it comes to the cards…The fans should be able to have some sort of say. Like if they had the fight club members or fansite memebers vote on the top “x” fights that they’d like to see and rank them. The UFC doesn’t necessarily need to use the infromation but at least they’ll have a pulse on what the fans want to see.

I’m taking Jardine over Wandy. Jardine has been improving whereas Wandy looks to be getting old and tired (if his last fight with chuck is any indication). As for Tito, we can only hope that machida woops his ass on his way out the door. GO PENN!

I wish Sok v. Naka replaced either the Gouveia or Thiago Silva fight on the main card (or at least have it be the swing bout. I also wouldnt mind replacing one of those fights with Etim v. Clementi. Both of these should be much more competitive than the two on the main card.

How the hell they gonna do this to SOko? Rediculous.
Can’t wait for Penn to win in dominating fashion, becoming the second person ever to finish Sherk, which will hopefully hype up a fight with the only other person to have done it.

C-war you are not alone Sherk is going to withstand BJ’s 2 round flurry and control him in the 3rd and 4th, if it even goes to a 4. Im seeing Sherk pound him out ala just like Matt Hughes in BJ and Matts 2nd fight…

Correction: Etim via Sub and Carwin via TKO
Also, be prepared for Penn holding the RNC after it is stopped. He looked pretty fuckin serious at the weigh-ins.

Is it just me or is it everyone.
The Tito thread is ruining my access to mmamania.
It’s preventing me from seeing all the previous threads, which I want to post on :(
That being said: -
BJ Penn via TKO in 2 (easily)
Wanderlei via cut stoppage
Tito via split decision (I hope…still got to love Tito)
Thiago via TKO in 2

If it is because of the Tito thread, then Mania take that shit out, please.
That said. These are my picks.
BJ via 1st round sub!,, Sherk .vs. BJ = easy win for BJ
Wanderlei via tko 3rd round
Machida via KO 2nd round.(yes I really think jacob’s getting KO’d).jaw-tap.one punch drop!
Gouveia via decision

If BJ can take Sherks back within 2 rounds he’ll win by rn-choke. BJ will gas after 2 rounds and Sherks insane cardio will give him the title by points, split decision.

I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s been two full PPV’s… and no Chris Leben. Win, lose or die trying. He’s the most fun fighter to watch every time.
and, btw, they should have Soku, and Clementi on this televised card, not Thiago crushing some bum that doesn’t really belong there.
Penn
Jardine
Machida
Gouveia
Clememti
Soku
Palhares
War

B.J. Penn vs Sean Sherk (I hope BJ gets grinded via Dry Humping)
Wanderlei Silva vs Keith Jardine (Like both the guys but hope Jardine wins)
Goran Reljic vs. Wilson Gouveia (What Ever…)
Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida (Hate Tito but Kinda want him to win, oddly enough)
Thiago Silva vs. Antonio Mendes (Silva should own him)
Rousimar Palhares vs Ivan Salaverry (Dont know anything about these guys)
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs Kazuhiro Nakamura (This should be a good fight)
Terry Etim vs Rich Clementi (Like Etim but either will do)
Jon Koppenhaver vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida (Hmmm Who is Yoshida… doesnt matter hope he beats the spazmachine)
Dong Hyun Kim vs. Jason Tan (Again Who are these guys)
Shane Carwin vs. Christian Wellisch (Ditto)

I am without a doubt a genius at prediction fihgts. 2 days ago O posted these predictions on another thread:
You guys want the picks? Here they are.
Bj Penn wins via rear naked choke after mounting sherk in the 2nd round.
Wanderlei will win by 1st round KO in the 1st 90 seconds of the first round
Machida wins, not sure how, but I am sure he will win. If I had to guess I would say decision or third round TKO
Soko by either early TKO or a decision
Gouveai (safest bet on the card besides BJ Penn)
will win by another Brutal KO early in the 2nd round
Tiago Silva wins by KO in under 7 minutes and 30 seconds: Unders
WarMachine will win his fight savegley
Clementi wins via 1st round submission
Upset special jason Tan defeats the new Korean sensation
Carwin via early round 1 0r 2 via Ko/TKO
Rousimar Palheres, I promise you will defeat Ivan Salvaerry…This is an absolute LOCK….Trust me bet Rousimar…He will submit or TKO Ivan in under 1.5 rounds. Rousimar and the unders…You can take that to the bank
I bet anyone that 75 percent of these picks will win.
I have decided to bet everysingle fight on this card straight, I will also bet a few Parlays with the winner/overs or unders.

anyone fighting sherk deserves to win it was obvious sherk was on roids when they did the all access before his last title fight. that chick from ufc couldnt even believe what all he was doing. If you watched that all access you should have known he was on roids.

I picked Penn, Jardine, and Machida. Most of the other fights didn’t really interest me as most I have never heard. The War Machine guy needs a win bad or he will fade away real quick. Congrats to Wanderlei Silva in defeating Keith Jardine. I picked Jardine and man was he taken out, go figure! Jardine beats Chuck. Chuck beats Wanderlei. Wanderlei beats Jardine. I would have never guessed it. I am not really a Wanderlei fan but he deserves credit for wasting Jardine.

Wandy’s starting to warm up to a possible fight against anderson.

I was 2/5 with my picks on the main card, but I thought the Machida fight was absolutely boring aside from the end of the First Round when Machida had Tito, and the final half of the Third Round. All the rest was Machida throwing a kick here or there and running away. It reminded me a lot of Forrest Griffin vs. Hector Ramirez, a wholly forgettable and boring fight.
by Belisarius on May 25, 2008 1:55 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
All fights ended in fashion as predicted for me except for the Penn/Sherk fight. Sherk turned out to be a little bit of a dissapointment. He was clearly being outmatched and did nothing to try to change or mix things up a bit. Penn caught onto that as well and just let Sherk keep eating jabs for as long as he liked. Penn is just too good. I hope Florian beats my boy Huerta, cuz that fight would just contain an unbelievable amount of offense for a Florian/Penn fight.
On another note, I am already so anxious for Machida’s next fight. Some call him boring, but I think he is just fun to watch. Could we possibly get a Machida-Silva bout? I knew Silva was gonna KO Jardine early in the first, yet it still came as an exciting thrill. He grabbed Jardine by the throat and was just giving him a beat down unlike any I have ever seen. That’s a scary dude, I can’t imagine him moving down in weight and actually being quicker.
Thiago Silva is another guy I have enjoyed watching since joining the UFC. The guy just tears people up on the ground. I even like the bad ass attitude he carries around with him. Mendez showed some skills for sure, but if you put a BJJ black belt, that is noted for a ruthless GnP, on the ground , youre always gonna be in for some trouble.
Reljic was impressive even though he got dropped once, he definitely looks like he could be a contender later on and the guy has an insane reach, almost Tim Sylvia’s length.
All in All it was a good fight card except for the main event. I just expected a little more competition from Sherk.

Who would have thought, 3 rounds of great standup from both . . . And BJ got dazed for a second there but it didnt mean much when it was over. Sherk hits harder then i thought, since he doesnt usualy stand up i geuss you never get an accurate judgement with strikes on the ground. He should stand more often, it would make him more appealing to watch and he could go to ground if he had to. BUTTTTT! BJ BJ BJ!!!

For my Boy AdamG, hope you enjoy my posts from now on…. Hopefully UFC will let Penn attempt to avenge his loss to my Boy GSP. Will definantly be ready for that fight. And to everyone else on here, I will be posting under this name from now on. I used to post under Chris with a capitol C, there is another chris on here but he used a lowercase c. Me and adam G made a bet that if Sherk won that he would post as Sherks#1NutHugger from now on and visa versa, so obviously with BJ’s win last night. Great fight by the way he had the jab going all night, Sherk did very well in the stand up as well. Was suprised to see hardly any take down attempts by Sherk, Killer knee by BJ, right on the money, would have dropped anyone. So now im posting as ack ack, hurts me to do it cause i cant stand him, but i am now BJ’s#1NutHugger..

Whats wrong with all you people who think bj was the one who made the decision to stop the fight… the ref stopped it becouse sherk was getting pounded and then was pretty much out. sherk got beat like it or not he never really put any kinda pressure on bj like he said he was gonna or like he normally has… i think he was scared to go to the ground with bj! Your crazy if you think bj will get mauled by gsp.. do you remember there last fight, bj wasnt in shape and almost beat him.
After bj beats gsp he should fight anderson silva!
that would be a real contender for anderson.

OK bj nuthuggers. BJ played a big part in the stopping of the fight. Not at the end of the 3rd but inbetween rounds Say what you nuthuggers want it was in plain view. Bj even stated he didnt want to go into the 4th in 5th because he done enough. Enough because he knew he didnt have it in him. And no Bj never beat GSP its called a thumb to the eye and capitalizing on it. GSP will maul him and then i hope he moves up to middleweight and gets mauled by silva. BJ the most classless fighter in all of UFC history. He can like the diarrhea off his gloves after i shit on his face! priceless or classless

I thought it was an odd stoppage until I heard the comment by Sherk that he never heard the bell—if he was that out of it, then he couldn’t have been actively defending himself and it was the right call.

Although that initial attempt at the takedown (at the first seconds of the fight) was thwarted off by BJ might have caused Sherk to second guess his gameplan. All in all, BJ picked him apart!!

good night of fights, carwin was a beast, jardines chin was questionable he went out quick and machida looked good. maybe now jardine will rematch houston or something cos title shot is gone now. thought the ref should of at least seen how sherk was after a minute but he ate a big knee and went down hard anyways. gouveia must be pissed he lost it will set him back a year or two…

There was about 20 seconds total of ground game on the entire card. Thiago had the most and he was done after a few moments.
Tito was frustrated. Machida is so weird. He lulls you to sleep with patty-cake and then stings you. Most of his stuff is for show and doesn’t actually connect. A couple of times I noticed his hands just kind of rub Tito’s face. With Lyoto’s fight, tune in every 15 seconds or so for his combos, and then go get a snack and wait another 15 seconds for Lyoto to do something again. Lyoto is remarkably strong. I loved seeing him toss Tito.
I thought Wandy looked smaller than his pride days. Same with Sean (looked smaller). Time for Thiago to get someone big. I say put him up against Chuck. Chuck is so good at escaping, and Silva is so good and trapping you. The winner gets a title shot maybe.
BJ was the man. He looked flawless to me.

The way BJ’s head can take a punch reminds me of heavyweight fighter ‘Cabbage’ I don’t think anyone is every going to KO BJ with a punch.. knee maybe.
GSP and maybe Koscheck are about the only guys that can take BJ down in either weight class.
GSP can’t hang with BJ standing, he’s going to have to lay n pray BJ like last time.

One question…
WTF was Sherk thinking standing with BJ? ???
The stubby muscle head has zero reach and Penn is known to be a good boxer.
I bet BJ thought: Okay…I could do this all night and eventually catch him….and he did.
by DubNub on May 25, 2008 5:27 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Because Sherk realized he couldn’t actually take down BJ. He tried, had the single leg, but then BJ’s flexability came into play and Sherk had no chance. Even though he is a wrestler, his only chance was to catch BJ with one of those short fast punches.
Also, apparently Sherk is quite dangerous on the inside with those crazy little punches. lol

He explained in his post fight. He was waiting until the later rounds hoping he could take Penn down after he gassed.
Unfortunately for him, he never made it that far.
Interesting thing is, if Sherk thought Penn would gas, he needed to give him a reason to gas. Penn might not last in a real fight, but I’m sure he would have no problem stuffing his jab in Sherk’s face for five rounds, no problem.

He explained it in his post fight interview. Sherk was waiting forthe later rounds to shoot, hoping that Penn would be too gassed to stop the takedown.
Funny thing is, Penn could have stuffed his jab in Sherk’s face all without gassing, and we still would not have seen his cardio tested.

Penn wins 5
GSP wins 4
Draw 1
It’s that close.
Either way, I’m happy and unhappy with the result.

Penn / Sherk: Not a big BJ fan but Sherk didn’t seem to realize that standing with an opponent with 3" better reach was suicide. Needed more kicks, ala Jardine / Liddell. Certainly didn’t want to get caught in the BJ ground machine. Gave me more respect for BJ.
Silva / Jardine: Wow. That was a good, old fashioned ass kickin!
Silva / Mendez: I agree with previous posts, Silva should get a big name fight for his next one.
Ortiz / Machida: Biggest snoozer since Koschek / Sanchez. Fitting end for the punk Tito is. Just kinda fizzled out. If he was still as dominant as he used to be, he would have found a way to run Machina down and beat him down. I didn’t catch Tito’s comments after the fight (the bar was too loud) but I’ve gone from total hatred of Tito to, at best, a small amount of respect. Now it’s just indifference. He’s not the fighter he used to be. After his last two fights, I doubt he’s the money draw he used to be either. Good riddance.
Carwin / Wellisch: Short but crushing fight. Love those big finishes!

B.J. Penn defeats Sean Sherk (BJ he should change his name to BS – I wish these refs would make the decision before the bell…
Wanderlei Silva defeats Keith Jardine (Poor poor Jardine, should have just backpeddaled the first round)
Goran Reljic Hmmm very mediocre but like the head kicks…
Lyoto Machida defeats Tito Ortiz (Tito did lose but not much to sneeze at, Lyota almost seems like a mirror image of Rhoyce but only standing up)
Thiago Silva defeats Antonio Mendes (Silva is very very lucky he should have been pummeled. two knockdowns)
Rousimar Palhares defeats Ivan Salaverry (I wanna see more of Palhares, what a weird build)
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou defeats Kazuhiro Nakamura (Again decide before the bell, Naki wasnt even close to going and it was his ankle at the time… He walked over easily to the decision) (I think it all came down to him getting off the stool in the corner and the ref seen his pain)
Rich Clementi defeats Terry Etim (Must have been good)
Yoshiyuki Yoshida defeats Jon Koppenhaver (Bingo, I like this guy)

Tito-Machida sucked, as kinda expected, but most of the other fights have been fun to watch. My boy Reljic will have to extend his arsenal and mix it up with combos more often, but he did an amazing job. We croatians just love those kicks. CC taught him well.
The end of Thiago-Mendez looked like a hate crime, really mean ground and pound.

BJ did call the fight. When the bell rings isnt it just up to the corner, the fighter and the Doctor to put an end to the fight?
The Ref, referees the fights not the breaks. It was bologna.
GSP kick his ass.
Sherk was a dumb ass, he should have pressed the fight on the ground and made him work so he would be winded… Sherk had a stiff left jab and I didnt hear too much from Rogan, it was obvious who he wanted to win.
BJ is stupid licking his gloves and stuff, what a dim wit.

I must say this was an incredible night of fights. I can not believe they gave us 9 of the 11 fights as well. I will say I have a new found respect for Sherk and the fact that he went into this fight trying to beat BJ in a stand up war. I was impressed by his hand speed and his ability to talk a big shot. BJ’s jab was money lst night. That jab could have and would have beaten anyone last night. I truly believe that cardio and wrestling ability aside Sherk wanted no part of BJ’s ground game. BJ at some point would have swept and taken his back or full mount and been pounded to hell or put to rest. Does anyone know if Sherk broke his lead hand, what was it his right that he kept shaking out the last round of the fight? When Penn went for the takedown Sherk escapeyou could see the concern in Sherk to not get taken down. Well respect to sherk. Where are all the Shark fans that said BJ had no chance against the cardio machine?

BJ was my only bet that came through. Hurting from Jardine/Tito but wouldve been worth it. Had a Soko + Clementi + Thiago + Govia parlay that could have put me positive if it wasn’t for Govia.
Reljic – Why couldn’t Gouvia finish @ the mount?! twice!
Machida – Tito almost locked the triangle on him!! LOL! (Machida’s still boring)
Thiago – holy crap! Mendez is HUGE! Thiago got lucky! nice beatdown at the end though.
Yoshida – yea!! no time to tap! nighty night

Dear Dana White and Joe Silva,
I am an avid UFC PPV subscriber. In the last two years there has not been one single PPV that I have NOT purchased and watched regardless of who was on the card. However, after watching last night’s PPV, I can PROMISE you that if you EVER have a PPV with Lyoto Machida on it, I will not only NOT purchase that PPV event, I will also NOT purchase the next one right after it to make sure you feel it in your bottom line. Lyoto Machida, regardless of his record, is about one small step up from Kalib Starnes and at least Kalib Starnes with all the drama that goes along with him. I don’t care about Machida’s record – I won’t watch him ever again!!!
Your normally loyal fan

Are you being serious right now? You’ve been buying every PPV event, and been following the sport for two years, and you still can’t appareciate how technical and beautiful MAchida’s style is? Tito was clueless, he got faked out every two seconds and didn’t know if he should be defending or attacking. Tito played right into Machida’s game plan, he wouldn’t touch him and Tito’s emotions kept getting the better of him, making him perform worse and worse as the time went on. Machida is very evasive, and he does avoid being hit a lot, but that’s why he wins. And it’s not like he doesn’t attack and just keep his distance. To compaire him to Starnes is an insult, he just ran, Machida almost finished Tito in the first round. It’s called being a smart fighter and going for the kill when it’s there.

he deserve props though. whatever he’s doing is working and he’s rackin up Ws. he controlled the pace and had really effective TD DEFENSE & takedowns. but to me, he’s like the Fitch of standup. fucc i just wish he would throw more or tangle or something cuz my buzz goes away like a commercial break, and thats the fight everybody at the party where i was at is talking story and taking shots n not watching. jew know wat i’m sayin? lol.. but nice GNP at the end of the 1st by the way.

Been real busy to follow blog and keep up but I was able to watch the fights last night.
Quick Thoughts:
-Jardine is an idiot. He will win his next few fights, assuming he in not brain dead, and then get so full of himself that he will attempt to stop an oncoming with only his ego.
-Did Sherk look smaller????
-Was anybody surprised by Tito? Who is buying this hype. Why would the UFC give him the MIC on live TV and not give it to him after the fight? Staged stuff???
- probably one of the most violent ufc’s to date.

by D on May 25, 2008 11:08 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Its what happens when you put Machida against a boring fighter. If you want to see an exciting Machida fight you have to put him against a guy like Franklin or Leben, I know they aren’t in the same weight class but I’m using them as examples of guys who push the fight. Also Arlovski had one decision and he finished the other two fights after his second loss to Sylvia. I hardly call him or most of his fights boring. Arlovski is the same way, if you put him up against a boring fighter it’ll be a boring fight. Machida and Arlovski are hard to read so it makes their opponents second guess themselves and play the fight a little safe. Where as those two guys know what their doing, they look like all they do is try to perfect their fighting style, its sick how good they are and how little Machida is being respected here. If Tito was the champ that he deserves to be treated like then he should have been more aggressive like the actual champs in the UFC.

Yeah when it comes to the casual fan, Machida has a somewhat boring style. But it is one of the most effective. Not only is he undefeated, but I do not recall Machida ever loosing a round in his career. The casual fan needs to educate themselves on what a real fighter is. If Machida keeps on winning like he is, it will be hard to deny him a title shot.

Everyone who complains that Machida is boring can watch the BJ fight right next to it. Both guys are fighting a similar style, except BJ has a huge reach advantage over Sherk. Machida for the most part pushed the action to Tito, and Tito couldn’t land anything. Keep in mind Machida also never had the reach advantage on Tito like BJ had on Sherk.
any IDIOT making a comparison between Machida and Starnes should have their heads examined. Kalib ran the who fight, Machida pushed the action in his.

Yves Levigne should be fired, Machida should have been deducted points or penalized in some form for his chickenshit performance against Tito. Im sick of people trying to defend that as his ‘style’ including Joe Rogan, his style is Karate and Karate doesnt include running circles around the octagon for 15 minutes. Machida picked it up in the 3rd round but those first two rounds were total shit, reminds me of Arlovski vs. Werdum. Everyone knew Tito would be screwed if it went to decision, not saying that Tito deserved it but Machida made sure it went the distance to say the least. Ryoto Machida is the Ricardo Arona of stand-up, title shot? please, no thanks.
Why did Sherk keep standing with Penn? He was doing comparatively well but he inevitably paid for it.
Wanderlei Silva is back, no question. Jardine looked so fucked up after the match.
The entire card was great, Reljic and Sokoudjou looked good in their fights. The guy who really came out with something to prove was Yoshida; he strangled Jon Koppenhaver in less than a minute with that anaconda and the ref didnt step in until long after Koppenhaver was already out.

Well Kev, just as I said, Machida was the 110% money in the bank bet in this event, never had a doubt in my mind. Tito looks absolutely pathethic, and despite the scare with the triangle\armbar in the end, he showed absolutey nothing. Horrible shoots, bad striking… tito is a deadbeat exactly as I said all along.
What else? I do understand that Sherk broke his hand, but lets start with the earlier rounds- what the hell was he thinking standing and trading with BJ Penn? Could understand if that was his strategy for saving some energy for the later rounds and then trying to dry hump BJ, but seeing as his cardio should be Sherk’s advantage, I really don’t get this fight plan. Perhaps the steroid-less Sherk has really a lot less to offer indeed.
The Wandy KO was absolutely BRUTAL! For a second I got confused there, not being sure who was ground and pounding who, seeing as it all went so fast. Wandy definitely looks better than he did before, not to mention the shaved head which really helps, hehe.
Great event, all in all!

I think this was the best fight card I’ve seen so far this year. Plenty of very relevant fights, one title fight, lots of action in every fight, lots of hype and drama, and good knockouts and submissions.
They showed 4 undercard fights (9 fights in all).
Interestingly, I think the runner up for best card this year is UFC 80, which was also headlined by BJ Penn.

You know Sherk went out for a few seconds from the strikes after the knee, dude was KO’d!!! So yes GSP also TKO’d Sherk like BJ did this time, but we all know Sherk said goodnight with about 2 seconds left in the round. Sh*t after at the press conference and in interviews Sean still didnt know what happened, no clue as to how BJ won the fight, just knows he lost, dude was messed up, a KO!

Glad to see the Axe Murderer finished Jardine quick.
With Penn…I don’t know what the hell is up with this guy. Calling out GSP? Is he crazy? No eye gouge = bad news for Penn. That’s the only reason why the fight was so close last time. GSP is a better fighter than he was when they fought the first time and it seems as though he’s a lot stronger.
All this guy does is talk smack and call out the whole world. I’m surprised he didn’t challenge to fight GSP and Anderson to both fight them both at once.

Machidas going to turn mma in boxing, jab, jab ,run away, jab jab, dance around, win a decision. Jeez, Machida fans must love to sit in the lobby of the DMV and golf too. BORING. Kaleb Starnes is pretty "elusive" too.
First of all Tito had 3 chances in the first round to take Machida down and couldn’t so thats not Machida’s fault. Second of all what do you want Machida to do just stand there and let someone hit him. Finally I believe Machida slammed Tito down and did a little ground and pound and almost ended it at the end of round one. Then in the 3rd round almost ended the fight with a knee just below the ribs that folded Tito all up. I don’t think Starnes even threw a punch in his fight so not a good comparison.
Bring Shamrock back so Tito can get a win.

I just wanna say,I told you so!! Sherk wasn’t gonna beat BJ at any time during their fight. Sherk said BJ had no heart & he was gonna make BJ quit, It was the exact opposit. Sherk quit ,also said BJ’s gonna have to kill him in order for BJ to win “NOT”, Sherk has no heart what so ever, & was clearly out classed by a better fighter then he could ever be!!!Plain and simple.

great night of fights.mendes has got some serious power in those kicks they were partially blocked and still put silva on the deck.but silvas got some brutal ground and pound.future champ?reljics kicks look good but when he was getting hit his defence went out the window and he was just looking at the floor.needs work on that.the axe murderer is back and it just prove jardine cant handle pressure fighters.with alexander its twice now.as for machida hes a very scientific fighter but i think he could get to 50-0 and still not get a title shot.hes a good cure for insomnia he should team up with mayweather and do a best of dvd.zzzzzzzzzz time for sure.bjs just gonna do what a silvas doing an ddominate the lw division so i expect him to move up and fight gsp.

I can’t stand watching Machida fight. While highly skilled, he is one of the most boring fighters in the UFC.
