to bad for wanderlei he has to fight rich I just hope UFC doesn’t cut him after rich franklin beats him

by PeeWee on Apr 12, 2009 9:37 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

keep dreaming, Wanerlei is still a top contendor,As is Franklin. Losing for either fighter doesnt mean shit. Both fighers are still great contenders.

by cujo on Apr 12, 2009 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

me neither, but they won’t.. only thing the UFC cares about and why they even made this matchup is to make money.. they don’t care about these guys career’s at all, they couldn’t care less if Wanderlei or Rich loses, all they need is for them to sell this card and make them money while they can..
loser of this fight is basically done!

Yeah I got Franklin beating him also. And no, I don’t think they’ll cut him.

is it just me or do a lot of these fights seem 1 sided? and i don’t see how you put mike swick up that high kind of a weak card, still better then most other shows but not ppv worthy

by randy murders on Apr 12, 2009 9:37 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I have to disagree. I think Franklin vs Wanderlei is an epic match-up between two future HOFers.
Swick/Saunders has potential
Davis/Hardy has Knockout of the Night written all over it
Fisher/Uno has Fight of the NIght potential

by SoCalStunNa on Apr 12, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

randy, are you serious? This card is stacked, I am pumped for this card! 6 fights guarenteed first of all! Also, Cro COp is back, Uno is back, decent main event, and 3 other exciting fights that all could end violently!!

by ---Caesar--- on Jun 8, 2009 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Overall, I think the matchups are great. A tremendous amount of discussion has been generated with support for each fighter coming from all over the place for a variety of reasons.

To me, this is a great card in the making.

by DJ on Jun 13, 2009 10:20 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wont buy this at all. Rich Franklin is not a main event fighter.

by JRE on Apr 12, 2009 9:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Keep dreaming!

by cujo on Apr 12, 2009 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i wouldn’t say that he did hold the strap for quite some time, and this main event is a solid one.. the undercard seems weak but the good ones always seem that way, it should be a spike tv card though

by randy murders on Apr 12, 2009 10:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Are you on crack? Although this is not really a fight that leads to anything like a title shot, it’s still a compelling fight. Every fight Franklin is in is compelling. This guy has won almost all of his fights easily. And the few fights he has lost, have been to the best of the best. His last fight with Hendo, was a close one and might have been different if he hadn’t been poked in the eye. Franklin is a superman, with his only kryptonite being the Spider and the Dragon.

by Caknakker on Apr 12, 2009 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

franklin is something insane like 11 and 3 in the ufc and you say something like that? ouch

by chris on Apr 12, 2009 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Once again JRE is a putz man. ive rebutted his statement against franklin twice now. he wants someone knocked out or he will boycott righ franklin. JRE is just a franklin hater thats all and wont come out and say it at least John is honest about his opinions. JRE think franklin is a boring fighter because of the hendo fight(rich has gone to decision 3 times in his career). you know….its hard to get a fight in fast pace when two fighter are that good and evenly matched. Im sorry fighter are too smart to consider your comments as guidelines in their twilight of their careers. because you hate one fighter you demand their health be put on the line just for you sorry lil man it wont happen until then base your bias intents with facts and then admit you hate franklin. anyways its funny how JRE states but offers no rebuttle.

Give me a minute, I’m not online all day like your boy John, so you’ll have to bear with me. Just so you know that i’m not hiding my opinion, I HATE TO WATCH RICH FRANKLIN FIGHT. I’m not being dishonest about a g*d d*mn thing so jump to all the conclusions you like but it doesnt change sh*t. I never seem to find myself being entertained while watching a Rich Franklin fight, unless he’s on the receiving end of of a brutal knock out. And it’s not because I don’t give him the benefit of the doubt, thats just how I feel and I can respect the fact that he does have fans who love him, and thats cool because I dont hate on people for not being entertained by my personal favorite fighter to watch (Machida). By the way Sancho why dont you use spell check or have someone edit your posts for you so you dont sound like a third grader, lil man

by JRE on Apr 13, 2009 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah he’s a “JREk-off”

by DirtbagHtr on Jun 13, 2009 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But Wanderlei Silva is, and the only time I plop down $50 is when Wand is fighting.

It will be exciting, could last 30 seconds, or the full 3 rounds, but it’s never a dance when Wand gets in the cage.

by The Slovak on Apr 13, 2009 10:43 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Have you watched his main events? Better review son, hehe!

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Apr 13, 2009 6:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The question is though… will Rich/Wandi put on a main event fight? My answer is, “Most likely Yes.”

by DJ on Jun 13, 2009 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

why are these posted so far ahead of time. in 2 months some guys might get injured so why post this so soon, ah well WAR AXE MURDERERR OR FRANKLIN. i really dont care who wins this as long as its exciting but if i had to pick rich by unanamous decision

by Jared on Apr 12, 2009 10:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

european cards are always whack. i’ll just catch the main event online later

by TKO on Apr 12, 2009 10:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

for sure a channel surfing event

by Jared on Apr 12, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Great card. The Swick v Saunders is going to be sick. For those who think Wanderlei will be cut if he loses, do not worry .. he has at least three more fights in him.

If he loses this one, it’s ok cause he is dropping to 185 .. if he loses the first one there, he found it hard to cut weight … so we will see the axe murder at least 3 more times.

by DownUnder on Apr 12, 2009 10:44 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think its good card too
Not much people are talkin bout the Swick/Saunders fight or the Uno/Fisher fight.
I think all the fights are gonna be very interestin to watch

Sidenote: Are you from Oz dw? I’m going for 3 months pretty soon and wanna know do they have coverage of the UFC over there

yes, that is odd you say that, sarah. many of the UFC’s (not fight nights) have been free when international. I’m sure someone can correct me but more free international UFC’s come to mind than PPV ones.

Card is shaping up to be a good one… looking forward to Herring/Velasquez and Davis/Hardy as well!

by ShitleTot.com on Apr 13, 2009 3:03 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I am happy to know that Wanderlei Silva is popular enough where his fight with Rich Franklin can carry the whole event. Although, Rich Franklin is also one of the more popular fighters in Canada.

by aman on Apr 13, 2009 3:39 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

This event doesn’t get me too hyped up, but I’m excited for it nonetheless, and will watch it no matter what.

I’m thinking the Franklin fight will go down with Wanderlei abandoning gameplan and intelligent thinking, and throwing haymakers and whatnot, trying to make it exciting. Rich will be active with his southpaw jab and low and mid kicks.. Rich wins a tough, but decisive decision, in a potentially action packed fight.

I wonder if they’ll keep Herring, if he loses to Cain. It would be his 2nd loss in two fights to guys who have a combined 6-1 at the time of their fight (Cain_5-0/ Brock_1-1). Herring didn’t put up any fight vs Brock, and I think if he loses this, he could be cut from the UFC. I think he would make it good in Strikeforce now, matching up vs Grim, Alistair, or even Arlovski. I think Cain will win this.

The Swick/Saunders fight. I’m a big fan since Ben’s mauling of that one guy and since I met him at the UFN in Tampa. The guy is cool as hell. I really like him and I hope he sticks around, but I believe exp will be the difference here, and I think Swick will win by TKO or decision. You cant really gauge Ben’s skills because he hasn’t fought anyone near his level, and Swick has submitted Diesel Riggs, went 3 rounds vs the Crow and Davis, and KO’d Goulet! Ok ok, so the last one isn’t impressive, but the rest is. So, Swick FTW, in the FIGHT OF THE NIGHT! Neither guy’s rankings are going to go down after this fight.

Spencer/Uno should be a solid scrap. A decision more than likely. Not sure who to pick. Spence used to seem like an upper echelon fighter till Hermes exposed him. I predict a split decision for the King

Davis/Hardy. I think Hardy may have more power, but Davis pwns him in technique and quickness. Davis’ KOs are more impressive than Hardy’s KO over Markham, and that fight was too quick for me to really give an accurate prediction (its the only time I’ve seen him fight). I’ll say Davis, he has more ways to win in my book, and has shown it will be alot to put him away. Davis by TKO.

For the Undercard: Etim, Hathaway, and Taylor. The others I don’t care too much about. I think Etim has a WORLD of potential. The guy has a sick reach and devastating striking. He pretty damn quick too. Hathaway impressed me with his debut, and I think he will become a force later on. And who doesn’t like Paul Taylor? I thought he won that fight vs Lytle, so I hope he gets back to winning. He needs to stay in the UFC.

Where are all the knuckleheads at now. Kongo will NEVER beat a decent wrestler. Just like Carmelo Marrero exposed…Congo is a gangerous standup fighter with NO takedown defense at all.

I hope Marcus Davis beats the snot out of that punk Hardy… calling Davis a “Plastic Paddy” isn’t something us Irish-American take too well.

Oh, one thing about Ben Saunders…

On Countdown to UFC 99 his people call him “fearless” – I say he’s just stupid for thinking he can hang with Mike Swick!!

My calls for the event:

Etim
Mirko
Uno
Kongo
Swick
Davis
Franklin

Man the way they are hyping the fight on the pre Pay Per View stuff it’s almost like the UFC is hoping Wanderlei wins so he can tangle with Anderson for the 185 pound strap. While that would definitely be a badass fight, Wanderlei should not get a title shot if he takes Franklin. Guys like Marquardt, Meia, and Okami are top contenders at this point and I hope the UFC doesn’t screw those guys over just because we all want to see the super fight. I just found it weird that during the Franklin-W. Silva fight talk they have talked a lot about the Wanderlei-Anderson rivalry like they are foreshadowing for a future event…I dunno maybe I’m being paranoid here. They gave Brock a title shot after 1 win so who knows?

No chance. Did you see Davis’ face????

R1 Davis – R2 Hardy – R3 Hardy by face smashing dominance!

Davis did NOTHING on the ground other than when he was under Hardy going for subs.

Should have been a UD but I’ll take the split.

I had Hardy. He just did more. Landed the better shots, was in better shape. And Davis did very little on the ground.

by UK_Chris on Jun 13, 2009 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You had Hardy? big surprise…Anyway Hardy got the win by landing 3 big shots. A standing elbow,knee to the face, and an elbow in top position. Scoring is based on effective striking,grappling and octagon control. Davis controlled Hardy and the octagon for most of the fight. First 2 rounds to Davis, 3rd to Hardy. Davis won 29-28.

I had Davis 2-1. All Hardy did in the 3rd was admittedly one great elbow that busted Davis’ nose. Davis knocked him down at the beginning of the 3rd and then attempted a succession of subs after that. So close though that it’s hard to complain either way.

Sometimes when you want someone to win so bad you don’t watch objectively. Uno did nothing until the final 1:30. You can win an entire fight like that. Even if Fisher didn’t do a lot himself, he still easily won rnd 1 & 2 and arguably rnd 3

As soon as Carwin or Lesnar gets their hands on Velasquez it will be lights out for Cain.

He should be trying to cut to 205 after that. He relied solely on his wrestling which was fairly boring to watch especially against someone with virtually zero takedown defense.

He will be exposed by a true heavyweight I feel.

Good performance all the same.

Like Joe said, this fight opened up a bunch of questions about both fighters… Cain has great control, but man, where was the power? Also, it looks like he needs work on his submissions, there were a bunch of times where it looked like a good BJJ guy would have been able to end it.

Sorry, but I did not gain any respect for Cain after that performance. He just fought someone who is built for his style. Takethem down and throw meaningless punches. Lesnar/Carwin two big wrestlers who will have their way with him. Mir, Nog, two jiu-jitsu guys who will have their way with him. Couture, wrestler (although undersized) will out work cain. I just dont’ see the hype yet. Beat one of the 5 previously mentioned names and I will eat crow.

In actual fact it was very similar to Lesnor/Herring. I dont know why people are hating on Cain. He won the fight easily. How can you judge a fighter after a dominating victory against potential future matches? Its only his 6th fight! We should be celebrating the fact the UFC HW division is looking great.

Kongo is big and strong, so you cant judge the fact it didnt end on Cain not having power. Cain DOES have a chin, the knockdowns were both flush on the spot and he got up from both. As for submissions, obviously he needs work, but hes in the same boat as Lesnor.
He looked very similar to Lesnor….mark my words, this guy is going to go far.

I thought that as well, with the fight being similar to Lesnar/Herring.

Looks like cutting weight has taken its toll on Silva. We’ll see what happens.

by Scuds on Jun 13, 2009 5:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think Wandy has it anymore.

by Diceman on Jun 13, 2009 5:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No thai clinch at all. I figured that would be Wanderlei’s gameplan.

by halljam2 on Jun 13, 2009 5:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Close round 2 to Franklin.

by Scuds on Jun 13, 2009 5:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Very close 2nd round — gotta give it to Rich

by Syn on Jun 13, 2009 5:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The whole gameplan for Wandy seems to be stay in the pocket and hope to catch him one time.

by Diceman on Jun 13, 2009 5:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Franklin won that fight

by RedDog on Jun 13, 2009 5:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

3 to Franklin because of take down, but damn close!

Great night, great event. UFC 99 was great.

Takedown wins the fight for Franklin?

by Diceman on Jun 13, 2009 5:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i missed a bunch of the 3rd, but i think Rich won the fight

by Syn on Jun 13, 2009 5:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Look at Silv’a face compared to Rich — Silva got toe up

Nice job on your 6 for 6 RedDog.

stream went out again before I see decision

by Syn on Jun 13, 2009 5:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

that decision was bullshit. wand pushed the pace the whole fight and did more damage throughout the fight. i had it 29-28 wand.

by RT on Jun 13, 2009 5:49 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No way, that could have easily been a 30-27 fight for Franklin. Wandy didn’t push much at all until he had Franklin rocked for a minute in the second, and as a desperation attempt near the end of the third. Other than that, Franklin worked him.

by Scuds on Jun 13, 2009 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No way in hell my friend

by RedDog on Jun 13, 2009 5:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

100% CORRECT

by MrAngry on Jun 13, 2009 5:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

with all of that said, wand is finished lol

by RT on Jun 13, 2009 5:50 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No, because it was a close fight. Just a bad startegy on Silva’s part

by RedDog on Jun 13, 2009 5:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think Dana wants Wand fighting for someone else. Wand has a lot of losses but just look at who they are to.

:(

by O damn he got caught on Jun 13, 2009 5:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Bullshit decision. Silva 2-1 for sure. Neither guy is anywhere near how good they were before. Middleweight= Anderson will KO Wandy no probs. Lightheavyweight= Machida will eat Franklin’s liver AND KO him LOL :)

by MrAngry on Jun 13, 2009 5:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

With some fava beans and a nice chianti? Wandy did very little, may have taken the second round, but easily Franklin’s fight.

by PW on Jun 13, 2009 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Anderson Silva,Lyoto Machida,and Fedor are my top three favorites.

by William Alvarado on Jun 13, 2009 5:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Decision was correct.

However i was disappointed with Rich, he coulda knocked Wand out so many times, but he didnt go for the kill.

Especially at the end of the second round Wand was out of it.

by Green Inferno on Jun 13, 2009 5:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

impressive on your 6 or 6 reddog, now where did you list your predictions? i guess i must be 6 for 6 as well?

How come they didn’t give the rounds for the decision. I thought Uno won that fight and they give fisher a UD. But didnt say if it was 29-28 or 30-27. weird

by charr552 on Jun 13, 2009 6:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I thought that was a little strange as well, I’m really interested in how all the fights ended up being scored.

by Scuds on Jun 13, 2009 6:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well Mrangry Lyoto already knocked Franklins ass out. Fedor, Machida and A. Silva (not lately though) are the 3 best fighters in the world and won’t be beat for the rest of their careers. And in my honest opinion Machida will go down as the best MMA fighter in history
