Liddell will definetely knock out rashad , rashad’s only a wrestler and liddel has the best take down defense , won’t go past the first.I just can’t wait to see Liddell knock out Anderson Silva and send him back to middleweight!!!!!

Chuck aint fast enough to caught the Spider i see the spider doing him dirty if it ever happens cause the Iceman will face Forrest griffin if he beats Evans so the Dream match is only a Dream for us

Chuck is for sure gunna knock out rashard, which is gunna set him up for forrest who he will also knock out. Almost seem’s scripted!

why are franklin and henderson on the same card and not fighting each other??? that’s hypocrisy to say the least, i think.
by duece 4 on Jul 1, 2008 9:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Because Dan is fighting 185 and Rich is making the move to 205.

I’m pretty sure that if anderson silva gets out of his Irvin fight unscathed that he is supposedly fighting Okami at this one too… thats the rumor anyway
by Greg on Jul 5, 2008 10:45 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i hope silva fights on this card but i dont think it’ll be against okami becuse he has broke his hand and i dont want to see all that poking in the eye business again like AJ vs kevin burns

GSP best test for silva i guess okami or liddell would test him too
by dez'z on Jul 21, 2008 7:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
not the rumor for awhile now. Okami broke his hand, so Silva vs cote at ufc 89 to give him time to prepare is the new rumor.

Looks like it might be another great card of fights. Franklin vs. Hammil is going to be exciting because they r both from Ohio, they should call it the battle of Ohio i am also looking foward to Chuck against Rashad. Hopefuly liddell wins by KO in the 2nd round.

liddell evans will be a good fight i rekon but as far as rich franklin vs hamill thats silly franklin will destroy hamill franklin should be fighting henderson

pfffft hamill is gunna stomp franklin . just watch……..and what is all this fucking talk about henderson and franklin who fucking cares there different weight classes now because franklin cant hack it against anderson silva. And as much as I like rampage…. he definetly did not kick forest griffens ass. I watched that shit and forest definetly desurved the W.

i hope hamill and rashad wins even though i like chuck and franklin more and would usually be routing for them to win but i jus want hamill and rashad to win just to show all you haters just how good bisping really is…. even if they do win there will probably be some idiot sayin chuck and franklin are washed up… some ppl cant except there wrong…. mark my words … hamill and rashad will win… (lol i’m not very confident but it’ll be great for bisping if they do both win)… i’m a very big fan of bisping and as much as i want them 2 to win i will definatly not be betting on it
please dont start having a go at me because even i know i’ll probably be wrong…. express your opinions about my comment but dont be aggresive
by ufcaddict on Jul 21, 2008 11:57 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
omg i just posted a big ass coment about why i want rashad and hamill to win and it didnt come up!!!! that has really pee’d me off!!!
basically i said i hope rashad nd hamill win there fights because then it’ll show just how good bisping actually is… i know every1 is gunna disagree and still hate bisping even if them 2 do win by sayin rich and chuck are washed up or summet but i just wanted to express my opinion so plz dont hate or be aggresive
but feel free to express your opinion back but dont get aggresive

omg wot is wrong with all of this … why does it take an hour to post a comment.. i’m anoyed i had to write an essay out of why i want rashad and hamill to win not once but twice because i fought it hadnt come up…. oh well at least its up now
sorry for the double post guys ;)
by ufcaddict on Jul 21, 2008 4:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
agreed!
he gave franklin a real good fight almost twisting his arm 360 degrees! that was a nasty submission attempt… its ashame that franklin is impossible to submit anyone else would’ve been tapping

I can’t wait to see the “ICEMAN” knock that badass silva out and back to middleweight so Franklin can get 1 more shot at his bad ass!!!!!!!!!!
by kolb.dawg on Jul 22, 2008 8:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree with you. I know liddell will knock him out. I want franklin to fight him again, but he has got to find a way to match up with him. I think Franklin plays into silva’s hand too much. I want rich to win cause he is a great champion and my fav fighter by far.

my money is on:
Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans – liddell by decision
Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill – hamill by decision
Dan Henderson vs. Palhares – henderson by TKO
Karo Parisyan vs Yoshida – parisyan by TKO (GnP stoppage)
Tim Boetsch vs. James Lee – boetsch by KO (brutal destruction…. why is ankle hugging james lee even in the ufc!!!! and of all the weight classes to be in he is in LHW!!!)
Roan Carneiro vs Ryo Chonan – chonan by decision
Matt Brown vs. "Stun Gun" – stun gun by TKO
all together i think this event will be good and the main event will be liddell rocking rashad a few times but will not be able to finish him, rashad will get super frustrated when he cant take liddell down!
and i actually expect hamill vs franklin will be a stand up war

hamill to beat franklin by decision in a stand up war?
you gotta be smoking some good sh*t :-)
by shamo84 on Jul 23, 2008 5:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
hamill has got highley underestimated stand up + the odds for that happenin is really good so i decided to take a small risk for a huge reward, i think its worth it
by ufcaddict on Jul 24, 2008 8:13 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and franklin has been struggling lately! not as impressive or dominant as he was + now he is facing bigger guys
by ufcaddict on Jul 24, 2008 8:14 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Matt Brown (7-6) vs. Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim (10-0-1)
looks like Zuffa wants to build up the Dongbow

great card
great pay per view even without the silva fight it is still good

For sure the ICEMAN would be one of few who could cause anderson silva problems, people say Liddell is slow, yet he has some of the best footwork in an octagon!! people get knocked out by silva because they cant close the ground on him and end up getting caught, the same however can be said for Chuck liddell. It makes for an interesting fight, who would push the action, who would get caught?? I believe it would be a great exciting fight, my chuck fan club brain tells chuck ko, my mma head tells me anderson silva ko and my combined favouritism and mma brain tell me it would be one not to miss!!!!! Liddell to ko rashad although rashad isnt gettin the credit he is due!!

matt hammil better use some of his world class wrestling
by keano on Jul 31, 2008 5:18 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don’t think rashad has a chance now i might be wrong but he just hasn’t proven himself against top notch compitition yet. Chuck only recent losses were gettign caught (can happen to everyone) and not having his head in the game

Chuck by KO
Franklin by TKO
Hendo by decision
Boetsch by KO
Marquardt by submission

Gsp best test for Spider because of GSP’s athleticism

I cant wait to see undefeated Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim in action again~! His first UFC fight against Jason Tan impressed me alot. That guy is without a doubt, a future ufc star.

I dont care who wins in the 205 class,Griffin will remain champ for along time!so these 205 main event fights are all undercard i dont think any of them can beat forrest!silvas time will end,as much as i love liddel, jardin and rampage both exposed an ageing chin.evans couldnt beat ortis,a cheap point was taken from tito on that nite and still he got a draw.franklin was a great fighter but to have been beat down by silva the way he was makes you wonder,does he still have the heart or is he fighting with head?LIDDEL KOS EVANS FRANKLIN OVER HAMLIN BY A LAND SLIDE AND SILVA WANT LOOSE UNTIL HE AND FORREST HOOK UP!AND IT WILL HAPPEN AND WE WILL SEE 5 ROUNDS OF ON THERE FEET WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!OPIONS ARE LIKE BUTTS EVERYONE HAS 1 AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY STINK! THIS IS JUST MINE!

I HAVE AN INSIDE TIP THAT YOU ALL MUST KNOW. PLEASE BET HARD ON DAN HENDERSON. THE FIGHT WILL BE STOPPED DUE TO A CUT ON PALHARES AND HENDERSON WILL WIN. TRUST ME. I HAVE $8000 ON IT MYSELF. BET ON DAN HENDERSON IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY.
LOCK OF THE CARD——->DAN HENDERSON****
