Is all that gell getting to Florians head? Did he say Kos has had a title shot allready? Also sounds like he is looking past Joe.

I think he meant that Kos has had a chance to fight for contendership. It was clearly understood that whoever won the fight between GSP and Kos would challenge for the title. So I think Florian meant Kos has had his shot at being number one contender, where as with Diego and Alvares it has never been written in stone that a win for either would mean No.1 contender status.

But I find it hard to think this fight would gaurantee either man a direct title shot as it may mean that they would have to wait on the side lines for ages.

If BJ wins the Welter weight strap and then defends his light weight strap against Florian (or whoever) it could be this time next year till he defends his welter weight strap, fighters in the welter weight division right now should be pacing themelves to be the right guy at “THE RIGHT TIME”.

Yeah, this episode was dull. Kenny doesn’t really answer the questions in any way that gives us info that we didn’t already know. Also, that fat dude from Sherdog needs to hit the mat…what’s the MMA term for an armchair quarterback?

I love watching Kenny fight, but when he opens his mouth, I cant stand him!

My first time watching, great show ill be sure to keep up on these, but yes I agree, Kenny didnt really add anything to it he bumbled his words and he said koscheck already had title shot (even though im sure he was just thinking about how koscheck already fought GSP).

He’s not looking passed joe are you kidding me. I can honestly say i laughed through the shamrock interview , and it hurts me to say that cause i want that fxxxxg kimbo to get hurt real bad wish cro cop would have signed with elite lol.Wow this does leave open a spot for Randy with Brock -will it happen,Please dana please. Chuck vs the spider or gsp vs the spider personaly i pick the gsp fight. Gsp is a way better athelete better wrestler than hendo and is all around scary i wouldn’t want to spar w him. the fight with chuck and anderson i would like to see but not as much. bring the s talk i take gsp he’s great at passing,great Karate witch is what it takes to beat anderson in my view.Great at stand up all around good off his back. and so is anderson that is the fight to see. those are the next two Great names for the next 5 years chucks what built this sport to what it is today wandi is great but dont think he will get,a title in ufc ,via rampage,Road runner Machida.Bj may get to be the first champ in two divisions in the ufc.but i doubt it i see it going the same way to close to call. Any way Give us Gsp/ Silva stop the spec and give it to us!!!!!! and ali in playboy too cant wait till Rachell leah Lol….. ps my favorit post ever on this site was.edith is horse face ,Finkle is einhorn,einhorn is finkle to this day i get a chuckle out of that everytime i think about it.hahahahhahahah

There are rumors floating about that Randy Couture might fight one more time for the UFC before the year’s out. Possibly against Lesnar. It would be interesting to see a technician against the rawest brutishist strength I’ve yet to see.

I heard a rumor that Couture would try and settle the court dispute by fighting once more in the UFC and then he is to become a free agent

by braveheart on Aug 29, 2008 7:20 AM EDT up reply actions

Lesnar by 1 minute KO

by RoB on Aug 29, 2008 7:39 AM EDT up reply actions

yeah, I heard “couture vs lesnar” might headline ufc 91.. leaving couture as a free agent.

If kimbo loses to Ken what will EliteXC do? Continue to feed him no-names to ensure Kimbo wins? If Kimbo wins will he face better competition in the future?

I hope Ken submits Kimbo and puts this fool back where he belongs…on the streets.
