I got coleman, but if rua wins, how bout shogun/randy

by kevin on Nov 19, 2008 11:05 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

u got Coleman? Blasphemy!!!!!! U think Randy looked like a shriveled up old raisin, wait till you see how coleman looks!

We really need to stop looking so far ahead at events…bby the time the actual event rolls around, I am already sick of talking about it. For example, we are already talking about the BJ vs. GSP fight….I think its a lil early for that!

Im going to worry about the match ups in December. UFC 92, fight for the troops and the TUF Finale. Anyone want to talk about the actual up coming match ups, you can find me on other threads. HOlla Haters! hahaha

I didn’t think randy looked like a raison, you did

I agree,we’re starting these discussion earlier and earlier. we’ve been talking bj/gsp for 3+ months already!

by kevin on Nov 19, 2008 11:29 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

over saturation!

BY the way, UFC 93 (dublin) and UFC 95 (england) will both air on ppv, and not spike!

Kev: r u just trying to get uinder my skin or do you really think that Coleman is going to beat Shogun?

WAR SHOGUN!!!!

by john on Nov 19, 2008 11:49 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think he will win, but I think he can win! He’s a seasoned veteran, and the rua brothers haven’t been all that consistent as of late.
John, you get my message about busting balls, you know I’m mostly kidding with you right! You’re news and insight is an integral part of this site!

by kevin on Nov 19, 2008 11:56 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I know Kev, No Hard feelings man! We go at each other a lot on this site, but its always LOVE. U know I respect your input very much, If I didnt, I would get pissed at u and I sure as hell wouldnt waste time debating with you.

We are going to clash from time to time, but thats what makes this site great! Keep up the great work man!

Cheers man!

right on, like I tell my wife, I only bust balls if I like a person. If I’m not talking to you or ignoring you and not even coming back at you, chances are, I don’t like you. She gets it because I bust her chops the most!! lol!

Coleman? Why? He’s so ancient and hasn’t learned a single new skill in more than a decade and a half. Man, i can’t wait for his roid rage on dana’s blog once he gets smashed.

by NameNotRequired on Nov 19, 2008 12:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

hahahaha I remember seeing him freak out. That was funny. Win or lose, is Coleman planning on staying at light heavyweight after this fight? Or is the outcome of the fight the determining factor?

by RyanHobbs on Nov 20, 2008 12:45 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i’ve actually been saying that coleman could definatly win. i know he’s a little one dimentional, but he is seasoned. if shogun fights like he did against forrest, he might lose. and yeah, i would like to see randy fight someone like shogun. i think randy’s heavyweight days are over…he’s better off trying his luck with the smaller guys, MAYBE…he can win a few more…..

by allamerican on Nov 19, 2008 2:54 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Um maybe this Shogun won’t come into the fight with a tear in his Acl :-?

by r/p on Nov 19, 2008 5:51 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Randys heavyweight days are over? Why? Because he lost once? He had been out for a year and was in a fight that was a bad match up for him. He was taken down by the big strong wrestler and able to stand it up twice. He has great stand up, he just hadn’t anticipated the reach of Brock. Randy still has the skills to come up in the heavyweight division and maybe even rematch Brock in the future. I think Randy could win in a second fight personally. Regardless, Randy has been using speed to his advantage in the heavyweight division. The heavyweights are slower than the 205ers. Randy beat 2 out of 3 of the biggest heavyweights in the UFC.(Sylvia is out and yes I understand that there are bigger heavyweights, but gonzaga sylvia and brock are massive heavyweights) I think he is doing pretty good.

franklin will win…. probably by decision but this is just my opinion

also

dont see a way that shogun can lose… i really want him to do well in the ufc

by john on Nov 19, 2008 11:44 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

“make him wear it” lol. I’d wear a suit because it’s classy, I’d hang with stinky because he’s an mma fan and seems like a cool guy. No one is going to make me do anything. Come on JV, you must know me a little better than that, I’m no ones dog!

by kevin on Nov 19, 2008 11:45 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

where it kev and you have to sit at his feet and pant, maybe he will throw you a bone.

by roy on Nov 19, 2008 11:56 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

wear is not the same as “where” roy. what kinda bone are you talking about..lol. Hey, I just wanna go to an event, but can’t afford to just buy tickets, hotel and plane fare right now. My wife is going crazy with christmas shopping, and I refuse to dip unto savings for this! I budget my monthly expenses, and vacation isn’t in the cards right now! My wife and son want to go to hawaii in 2009, thats a 10k trip easy, so I’m already saving for a vacation!

kevin~

whats wrong with the gi?

honestly i was thinking of wearing one myself.

it would be fun to go to a ufc with a fellow maniac but

u are a bj fan and a number one gsp hater.

i am a bj fan but a number 1 gsp fan~

im still thinking about it~ but my girl says i shouldnt.

funny how u said ‘the wifes permission’. its the same deal with me.

by stinky~fingers on Nov 19, 2008 12:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

lol, I respect GSP’s talent and achievement, but just don’t like him as a guy, as a fighter, he’s a bad dude! Why shouldn’t you? because I’m just some random guy that you chat with on a web site that is looking for a free trip + a UFC ticket. that doesn’t make any sense! lol! I told my wife, she shook her head and said “only you kev, only you could maybe pull that off.” then she said have fun!!

Really, someone hacked your name hmmm, If someone hacked your name then why in your first post did you say hell no, Cause if some was asking me to pay them,and i didnt know anything about it I wouldnt say hell no . I would be asking what the hell are you talking about. I really dont care. Its Just I knew what was gonna happen if i won/lost if i won this would happen if i lost you would have came at me the same way,the only diff is I would have paid up.Being a honest person.

by DBG on Nov 19, 2008 12:55 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

dam spelling, its not good to make fun of people and use the wrong word.no points.

by roy on Nov 19, 2008 1:00 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I remember last event, someone bet stinky, they came on and said they were surprised, but got a check in the mail from him. I’ll tell you what DBG, I think all the regulars on the site are honest, and would pay. Someone pretended to be john the other day too! It’s an honor system here, and I like that! No user name and password! I believe stinky!

by kevin on Nov 19, 2008 1:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah dood~ someone hacked my name.

it is one of the flaws of the site.

i dont know what ur problem with me is?

u r always following my posts calling me names~

and attacking what u think about my personal life.

u dont know me~

if u want to conversate~ try tlaking mma with me.

thats what this site is all about.

but u like to run around here calling peeps out on who they really are.

u would never see me doing this around here..never!

u are one of the people that dont matter around here.

Main event is awesome….Shogun vs Coleman is a joke! A freak accident and now it’s revenge time? I’ll take it, but man would have liked to see Shogun go up againgst a fighter with a heartbeat…

amazing that u actually think i had a bet with u~

by stinky~fingers on Nov 19, 2008 11:17 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Sorry man, but it will be on ppv. Both the Dubvlin event and the British event (UFC 93 + 95) will air on ppv. I read an article about this yesterday and it costs Spike a ton of money to broadcast the events in foreign countries. THese events will occur in Jan and Febuary (tyhe beginning of the fiscal year) and I read that spike doesnt want to blow so much of its budget in the 1st quarter of the new year.

Make a long story short, UFC 92, 93, 94, 95 will all be ppv’s!

Sucks dont it?

no jus dont see hendo winning… franklin’s only losses are to anderson silva and the undefeated machida

by ufcaddict on Nov 19, 2008 10:08 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

i think franklin will win as well~

if they were fighting at mw? it might be a different story.

by stinky~fingers on Nov 19, 2008 10:16 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

UFCAddict, please the level of competition that these fighters have faced.

Sure, Franklin’s only losses are to Anderson Silva and Machida. That is because he was fighting NOBODIES!

Meanwhile, Hendo was fighter over in Japan where the REAL competition was at the time. Also, in PRIDE, a HW could fight a WW, that would NEVER be allowed in the states.

Hendo’s NotableFights:

Defeated Carlos Newton
Defeated Big Nog
Defeated Babalu
Lost Decision to Wanderlei Silva
KO’d Renzo Gracie
Defeated Ninja Rua
Lost Split Decision to Ricardo Arona
Submitted by Big Nog
KO’d Murilo Bustamante
KO’d Ryo Chonan
KO’d Akihiro Gono
Defeated Bustatamante (again)
Won and then lost decisions to Kazuo Misaki
Defeated Vitor Belfort
KO’d Wanderlei Silva
And then he came to the UFC and fought in two straight title fights to Rampage and Anderson Silva
Then rebounded against Palhares

Plus, those listed above are all KO’s, NOT TKO’s. Hendo has had dynamite in his right hand and as of a couple years ago, he got it in his left as well! He puts fools to sleep.

Franklin’s Notable Fights:
Sub’d Chris Seifert
Sub’d Dennis Reed
Sub’d Marvin Eastman
Sub’d Yan Pellerin
TKO’d Anthony Rea
TKO’d Evan Tanner
KO Roberto Ramirez
TKO’d Edwin Bam Bam Dewees
TKO loss at the hands of Lyoto Machida
Sub’d Leo Sylvest
Sub’d Ralph Dilon
Sub’d Jorge Rivera
Sub’d Curtis Stout
TKO’d Ken Shamrock
TKO’d Evan Tanner
KO’d nate QUarry
Decision David Louisau
TKO’d by Anderson Silva
TKO’d Jason MacDonald
Decision over YUshin Okami
TKO’d by Anderson SIlva
TKO’d Fat Lutter
TKO’d Deaf Hamill

Franklin’s record looks just like aisle 4 at Stop and Shop = a whole bunch of cans. The levels of competition are not even comparable. Rich would never of even thought about accepting a fighta against a HW legend.

You can’t just count each fighter’s losses and whomever has less should be the favorite. And the reason why the names of the fighters that Rich has lost to are so recognizable is because other than Evan Tanner, THOSE ARE THE ONLY ELITE FIGHTERS HE HAS FACED!!!!!!!

by ViolentMike on Nov 19, 2008 11:17 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Great post MIke! THe level of competition between Hendo and Franklin is not even comparable!

Should be a great fight, but I have to imagine that Hendo will be the favorite!

by john on Nov 19, 2008 11:51 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

great post vm, i see hendo taking it.

by roy on Nov 19, 2008 2:08 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

nice post violentmike! dudes like a f*ckin mma dictionary! i think hendo wins by tko.

by allamerican on Nov 19, 2008 3:00 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

what’s your point in mentioning Hamill as deaf? (especially after mentioning Lutter as fat)

by JB on Nov 19, 2008 3:17 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

good post … i get your point

but i think that hendo is reaching the end of his prime IMO and i’m confident franklin will win … i’ll be placing a bet on him as i can imagine he’s good odds

Hendo will destroy Franklin…if Franklin stands with Hendo he will get KO’d if it goes to the canvas he’ll get schooled…I can’t see how Rich can win this one…he’s outclassed bigtime!!!

by Ash on Nov 23, 2008 1:38 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

This could be the worst UFC card ever. I love all these fights except for Coleman, but I’m not excited to see Franklin vs. Henderson as the main event. This to me is not a main event. I would prefer to see Hendo at 185, but I guess he’s not getting Anderson anytime soon. They need another fight here, perhaps Anderson Silva vs. Chuck Liddell.

by Scarlip on Nov 19, 2008 11:28 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Franklin might get knocked out. Henderson is the harder puncher and has the better chin! I hope Franklin takes it anyways he’s the more technical striker of the two and i hope he can avoid getting taken down..

by RoB on Nov 19, 2008 11:45 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

im thinking the same thing rob, hendersons gonna knock him out.

They’re calling Anderson Silva a light heavyweight now?

by BMO on Nov 19, 2008 1:49 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Got my tickets. Can someone tell the UFC that there are no more tickets available. It is sold out. The ad mentions that they are for sale. Man they were sold out after 2 weeks.

by Roy on Nov 19, 2008 3:42 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

hendo and shogun:D and i like the idea of shogun vs couture but randy would take that easy not to get anyone mad but shogun doesnt really have super heavy hands his main way of knockin guys out in pride was teh kicks and ufc doesnt allow that

by Jared on Nov 19, 2008 4:07 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Imagine how anderson silva feels sitting back thinking hes taken care of henderson and franklin and now they are main eventing a card

by hk on Nov 19, 2008 4:40 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

The UFC is so bad ass that a great match up like this (Henderson and Franklin) seems like a weak main event. In fact, with the amazing December card and the biggest fight ever coming up in January, I’ll probably pass on this altogether. But that’s a testament to how far this organization has come. If they keep putting together such great fights, the sky is the limit for the UFC.
