Silva would be stupid to retire so early…doesnt matter if there isnt any challenges left! how about EASY MONEY! or got to 205 for REALLY BIG MONEY…but harder earned.

Whoa….henderson and bisping to coach TUF 9? hmm seems like a rumor to me but a great way to market henderson more. but it seems a lil premature to say they will fight for #1 contender, if bisping cant beat leben than there can be talks but where does that leave Okami at? its hard to be good and not marketable.hope bisping doesn’t get a crack at silva for his own sake. Hendo would walk right thru him.bisping is nowhere near palhares and if he doesn’t hack it like palhares he going to get hurt bad.

Styles make fights man. Dont under estimate Bisping. His only really poor performance was against Hammill imo. I thought Palhares looked like a joke fighting Hendo… but Hendo couldn’t finish him. It could be a really good fight if it stayed on the feet. Both are great bangers… and Bisping has a great scramble. We also know that Hendo rocks on the ground.

Would be a good matchup. Just hope Bisping isnt pulling a chucky and looking past his opponent already. He can beat Leben.. just needs to focus on it.

not taking anything away from bisping for sure…but he is not ready for that caliber of a fighter. palahares looking like a joke and you thinking bisping has a “fact on paper” chance of winning the fight tells me you seriously underestimate palhares and hendos as top MW.Bisping is banger for sure. but he has no power he will have to mix it up exponentially inorder to secure a win againts leben and hendo. he has a better chance to win with leben.

the rematch between Kevin burnes vs. Rumble Johnson will take place December 13th at the TUF 8 live Finale. This is not to be confused with the December 10th TUF 3 hour broadcast.

Merry Christmas! 2 FREE UFC events only 3 days apart

Hey john, I thought you said nobody will tell “King Fedor” what to do? Affliction is saying NO!!! NYE in Japan NO!!! john what is King Fedor going to do now???

by JV on Sep 25, 2008 5:38 PM EDT reply actions

whatever he wants to do! as always. Just cause Affliction said No NYE doesnt mean he is going to listen. He is fighting in Japan, and everyone knows it!

way to make a big deal about NOTHING!

Im not making a big deal about it homie! Its just everybody bashes the UFC for their contracts. And Praises Affliction for theirs. But Affliction is now doing the same thing right?

by JV on Sep 25, 2008 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions

if they wheren’t putting a event on the next month they would never say no to him, they already paid him and can’t afford to have him not available for there next show.

Affliction is lending Arlovski to Elite XC in October JV, do your research before posting amateur

by brendan on Sep 25, 2008 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions

hes not talking about arlovski brendan…he is talking about Fedor. they are lending arlovski because they have no real big plans for him at the moment. they are really taking car of their precious as UFC does to theirs. AMATEUR!!!!

thats who i thought would be on the mt.rushmore of mma. royce,fedor,randy and chuck are easy choices. i thought tito might make the top 10. molly qerum= yum yum!

by b.w. on Sep 25, 2008 6:14 PM EDT reply actions

I think Renzo should be above Royce, I think he did more for the sport and has been more competitive in his fights

by brendan on Sep 26, 2008 12:13 AM EDT up reply actions

I agree. Renzo is a god in my eyes. Renzo has been successful since fighters begain cross training. Royce was only successful when his opponents didnt even know what Ju JItsu was.

by john on Sep 26, 2008 9:08 AM EDT up reply actions

royce was the godfather though. without him there may not have been a renzo or a b.j. penn or countless others who have cited royce as their reason to start fighting.

Anyone hear about Anthony Johnson vs Kevin Burns 2 at TUF finale??? anyone know if theres truth behind this???

by belfort_fan on Sep 25, 2008 6:18 PM EDT reply actions

Nobody heard of this rumor… okay thanks alot.

john threw it up there above you a little bit, cool though

by brendan on Sep 26, 2008 12:12 AM EDT up reply actions

lol, didnt notice… thanks though.

so i guess the ufc thinks bisbing will just run right through leben.
i hope chris knocks his ass out and ruins there plans.

by mike22 on Sep 25, 2008 6:45 PM EDT reply actions

me too

by McArthur on Sep 25, 2008 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions

it won’t happen.. i can almost promise you that, Bisping will rock Leben’s world!

by RoB on Sep 25, 2008 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions

I don’t think they’re planning on Bisping running thru him. Rather, Leben is someone who think he can beat, and not be a can. Maybe Dana is sick of hearing of us say Bisping’s fought cans and nobody’s. lol. A win over the Crippler will give him some credibility, that’s for sure.

“who they (UFC brass) think he can beat.”

by chefdaddy on Sep 26, 2008 9:00 AM EDT up reply actions

People keep talking about whos going to be the american coach with bisping on tuf 9…….But in case people have forgotten bisping is fighting leben, and what happens if he loses? Hes the only successful uk guy in the ufc, so would they just have 2 american coaches or keep bisping even after defeat?

by Toad on Sep 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT reply actions

I think there was a thread earlier in the week that mentioned the rumor that IF he beats Leben, he would be handed a TUF coaching contract.

by chefdaddy on Sep 26, 2008 7:55 AM EDT up reply actions

I can’t believe Tito wasn’t on that list..

by RoB on Sep 25, 2008 7:36 PM EDT reply actions

why not use tuf 9 to hype up other uk fighters including bisping for coaches? paul daley sign to the ufc plz

by Mo on Sep 25, 2008 9:30 PM EDT reply actions

roy jones jr would embarrass silva. he might not knock him out but would definatly let him know he doesn’t belong in the ring with him.

“Danielle” i noticed you asked me how i knew David. He was my best friend. Did you know him, if so how? Please write back!

by belfort_fan on Sep 25, 2008 10:47 PM EDT reply actions

anderson may be the best in the cage, but if he stepped into the boxing ring with roy jones, hed get worked.

by medecine balls on Sep 26, 2008 4:39 AM EDT reply actions

get this video on your site! its rogan and dana and Bisping and Leben all talking on UFC 89 Main event! Leben says something funny like “i refuse to lose read the news and do the interviews” hahahaha

by Tony on Sep 26, 2008 6:33 AM EDT reply actions

I THINK THE RUSHMORE PICKS WERE GARBAGE…FOR SURE ROYCE….AND LOVE HIM OR HATE MATT HUGHES WITH OUT A DOUBT…MAYBE COUTURE… SORRY CHUCK AND FEDOR NO WAY…CANT BELIEVE TITO WASN’T ON THE LIST EITHER….OH WELL
