“Boom” said Mike Goldberg when he was anticipating a punch landing like the one shown above…was that getting on anyone else’s nerves?

got on my nerves too lol. I loved when Joe was talking to Jardine and made the comment about “thats what happens when people start drinking” and then booed the crowd. lol

lol rogan sure isn’t scared to say what he really thinks and get people riled up.

I don’t think Rogan was booing the crowd as such, I think he was just anticipating the crowd booing straight after he made the comment about drinking , so he came out with it first. The crowd were a little bit slow to react to it though.

So I was thinking seeing as Bisping is the coach on the next TUF, and the other coach might be Franklin or Henderson, all though i’ve heard Henderson dosn’t want to do it, I have a better idea who it should be…Nate Quarry anyone? If he beats Maia he’ll be on a 3 fight win streak, just like Bisping.

I think Henderson would be an amazing coach but he’s 38 now and dosn’t have many years left in him I’d rather see him fight more, i really wanna see him against Marquardt after the Franklin fight.

So lets say Henderson beats Franklin he could fight Marquardt in april/may then the winner gets their second chance at Anderson say in August or something. Bisping vs. Quarry could take place in July most likely it could be a no#1 contender fight. Or if Anderson has retired by then winners of Marquardt/Henderson vs. Bisping/Quarry for the vacant MW title in late 09.

Thoughts?

And while all this is going on Anderson could get his revenge on Yushin Okami and maybe have a few more LHW fights idk.

The tat on Chris’ arm is even saying, “Damn, that’s gotta hurt!”

Goldie can be a bit of a tool, but as Rogan’s sidekick it works, Goldie’s lack of athletism and MMA knowledge makes the casual fan comfortable.

For the record, I was wrong about this fight and this picture illustrates it perfectly. I didn’t expect Bisping’s striking to be so much more crisp. He brought it straight down the pipe countless times and that made the difference. His movement was also superior—it looked like he’d been watching tapes of Machida.

Leben is still one tough MoFo, though.

the bad thing is though next time bisping fights they’ll all say the exact same

“bisping will lose he hasnt thought anyone tough”.

they keep sayin that

ppl said it for the day fight and then the leben fight and they are still gunna say it when he has his next fight

by ufcaddict on Oct 20, 2008 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Bisping fought a great fight, formulated a game plan and executed it perfectly. Leben’s as tough as nails though and is still one of the best middleweight fighters out. both fighters deserve some respect after that fight!!!!
