Damn Belcher finishes Kang and gets stuck on the undercard against a gatekeeper. That has to sting

Yeah thats really gotta suck. I’d think they would match him against someone higher up… Maybe Marquardt? But Sakara? Geez man..

by Synyster on Mar 8, 2009 1:18 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i saw that the ufc is probably going to move bechler to ufc 100 and have him face the debuting akiyama.

Return from the defeat in the hands of Hendo…

Franklin’s got this b*tch in the bag.

by Anonymousf*ck on Mar 17, 2009 12:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah i hate to say it but Franklin is going to beat the shit out of Wanderlei.

by belfort_fan on Mar 18, 2009 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Terry Etim vs Justin Buchholz should be good. Etim just beat a Local fighter from where i live in Brian Cobb. I was acctually suprised in that fight. Cobb is an outstanding wrestler, ive rolled and sparred with him many times and i was suprised he got beat so easily. I guess Faber told him not to set up for the takedown to just shoot in wildly like he did. Anyways should be a good fight. and UFC should give Brian Cobb another chance.

i could see franklin out striking wand on pure technique. dammit, i hope wandy can pull off a KO… but even more so, i hope sakara KOs belcher. Belcher is such a fuckin’ dork… it’d be a huge win for sakara…

This card sucks

by Jake on Apr 13, 2009 8:49 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I should say the undercard is horrible. Main card is OK

by Jake on Apr 13, 2009 8:50 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

what are you talking about cain vs. heath is going to be a good fight cain is an up and coming great fighter and heath is the gatekeeper. Now we’ll have some better heavyweight fights at the least.

by cujo on Apr 19, 2009 4:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

They have kinda turned Heath Herring into the gatekeeper just like Elvis Sinosic was for 205. So you know if someone is fighting Herring, then it will decide if he’s a legit contender or not.

by dave on Apr 20, 2009 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed, and i belive cain will win by KO if herring decides not to go to the ground. But Cain was a great wrestler out of ASU and if im not mistaken he was an all american.

I see value in Hardy and Saunders – both are dogs for betting purposes

by DF on May 11, 2009 5:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

the spencer fisher and caol uno fight make the whole card worth while even if the other fights suck. fisher always puts on a great fight as long as people dont just lie on top of him. fight of the night right there

by d-hardy on May 11, 2009 9:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Have you seen all the comments Hardy makes about Marcus? This guy’s very immature, and he’s just digging himself a grave. Davis KO Rd1.

cro cop is back in the ufc
and facing al turk lol

by ian on May 18, 2009 2:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

fight should be on main card

by bryant on May 18, 2009 5:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

for real it should be on the main card. i think they’ll show it first if they have time, unless the bump it up officially. franklin-silva is going to be a war.

Why is the Cop fight not going to be televised?! I’d much rather see that fight instead of Saunders and Swick!

by xxBAxx816 on Jun 2, 2009 5:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I’ve heard that the fight is going to be the first on the televised card… so friggin angry now if that’s a lie!
It must be on the main card… I mean otherwise it’s just wrong.

by JonnyBoy on Jun 3, 2009 10:02 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rich doesn’t do good against good Muay Thai guys so if Wandy can clinch he could do some damage, but Rich is more well rounded if I had to bet I would say Rich but don’t count out Wandy , besides Rich didn’t do good against Chute boxe fighters hence Anderson Silva folks.

The poster reads Velasquez VS Herring, yet the card reads Cain Velasquez vs. Cheick Kongo. Who’s in?

by TheBoss on Jun 3, 2009 5:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Kongo because Herring is sick… don’t know what he’s got or how he’s doing but that’s why anyhow.
