Exactly. Everyone always has to bash Dana and the UFC. Every MMA fan has only them to thank for making it happen.

GROUNDBREAKING MMA NEWS***

The RETURN of ANDY WANG!!!!!

Andy Wang vs. Kit Cope, may 30th!

Talk about your Mega Fights! lol

I would like to talk about a few betting locks of the summer!

The locks I am going to identify are undercard fights that wont get too much publicity:

I love:
Gleison Tibau over Melvin guillard
Yoshida over Wolff (the guy Saunders made look like an alien)
Paul Kelly pounding the FOCK out of Roli Delgado
Etim over Buckholtz
Paul Taylor over Sabotta
Chris Lytle over Kevin Burns!

Bigger Profile locks:
Fejao over Haann
Jacre over Mayhem

not one of these bets are going to lose! guaranteed winners…dont ever say I dont hook you guys up! lol

anyone got any fights they view as Locks?

irvin against mcfederies!!!

John Hathaway against Rick Story. I will be betting muchos on Hathaway

Fedor over Aoki.

jared how is that a lock? both have heavy heavy hands… im an irvin fan but he can surely lose that fight..

a lock this summer is forrest over thiago silva

Forrest over Thiago? I doubt that’s a lock. A lock on paper I should say…

Wang over Cope unless he wants to be cool and “bang” with him. Thiago is gonna stomp all over forrest. Here is the breakdown on paper- Power, striking, BJJ go to T; Cardio, size, possibly wrestling go to forrest. Chin is suspect on both but forrest “can’t bust a grape.” Sure doesn’t sound like a lock to me.

a lock is Diego over Guida.. and Mcfedries is a better striker than Irvin so i say Mcfedries, but it ain’t a lock!
seriously now – Franklin/Velasquez on UFC 99 are two locks!
Bonnar/Jones are locks on UFC 100 and Kenny Florian is almost a lock too, if you would only see it as i do!

wait so forrest has a suspect chin but rampage couldn’t put him away, neither could shogun? he’s been stopped what twice?..

thiago silva got tooled by a guy in machida who doesn’t strike for power he strikes for points and he lost because he was tired after 1 round and forrest will wear him down and finish him.. jump off the thiago silva hype wagon it was made to hype machida more going into his title shot..

I ain’t gettin’ off the thiago Silva war tank. I believed in that guy since day one. Cool attitude. Though lynx[who’s Brazilian] says he’s a poser, in that he’s tryin’ to be “ghetto” or somethin’. But IMO, it’s the attitude that counts. Yes he looked real sloppy in his last fight, but I’m cuttin’ him some slack. He’s like Banha, who’s like the Terminator and just keeps pushing forward. Hope they do battle in the octagon soon!

stun gunn over goulet!

Hope for you that your not putting too much money on your locks,cause you risk to be desapointed.

after reading all you guys suggestions (some had good ones)…the fights that you guys mentioned as locks that I agree with are:

John Hathaway over Rick Story
Stun Gun over Goulet
Sherk over Edgar
Diego over Huggie Bear

I would NOrmally say that Akiyama is a lock over Belcher, but I vowed to NEVER again bet a fighter thats making his UFC debut. It takes a few fights for fighters used to fighting in a small ring, under japanese rules to get acclimated with the UFC Octagon, Rules and Atmosphere. Akiyama is light years ahead of Belcher in skills, but I dont know if Akiyama can fight to the best of his abilities in his UFC debut, so I dont view it as a lock.

FYI: Brock is going to beat the snot out of mir!

Exactly, Dana’s the fuckin’ man!

lets jerk Dana White off. I know Bill Gates or the guys from Nintendo wish he got this much luck after saving their markets in economic crisis.

I would not go that for ,but you have to give credit when credit is due,and if it was not for him there would not be UFC today,which also means that MMA would not get any attention in America

give it up scott, if he didn’t have two rich mafioso friends from his childhood then they wouldn’t be the ppl controlling the UFC, a major MMA organization was meant to be, and one single person shouldn’t get that much cred.. the reason for all the cred Dana gets is because most ppl don’t even know about the other guys cause they don’t see their face in the camera all the time!

say whatever you want about Don King but he has made great money for the fighters, and that is what it’s all about money!..

if dana white wasn’t around we’d be watching all of these fighters in PRIDE F/C. it would probably be better because the rules were better imo. the ufc actually looks a little watered down compared to pride.

If it was all about money I would be on the financial times website or investing on e*trade. It’s about the fights, the spectacle, the excitement, the sport and the people involved. Maybe I’m a sucker but I believe Dana has a passion for this sport that goes past money. Don King just a crook that has bled boxing dry.

Well boxing’s still wet as far as I know. can’t wait for the Pacman-Hitman East meets West Blowdown this comin’ weekend! If Pacman wins this one, I’m sure it’ll be a bloody war, not some cakewalk like durin’ his past couple of fights. Though I honestly didn’t predict a Dela-Hoya beatdown back then.

It’s a milestone nonetheless… and it should be treated as such

yeah….God when UFC puts on a great event. That makes me so angry!!!! relax man

who said I was angry about the event? is this blog post about the awesomeness of the fight card or is about the historical relevance of ufc 100? did I at all complain about the fights? or did I keep things on topic and point out my displeasure with the attention this event is receiving as being a milestone?

no matter what ,it is still a big deal,it does not matter if it is 101 or 102,it is all about the fact that nobody gave it a chance,and MMA has faced constant scrunity,still to this day,yet UFC has survived and florished

and why does it make you so angry that this event is getting so much media coverage,damn you must have loved it back in the day when they could barely even get on ppv or you had to wait for it to come out on vhs

why are you even here reading all the media coverage.

well JJ…the historical relevance and “awesomeness” of the card kind of go hand in hand. Think about it jackass. and like scott said…if you hate all the press coverage for what you perceive as this massive lie, then don’t read the press coverage. jesus. And to your point about not complaning about the event…yeah you did, saying a little further up in the thread that it isn’t that great a card.

JJ rest easy. It’s a nominal thing. The big one-zero-zero represents 100 and is something to celebrate. Screw technicalities.

jj, it is 100, because ufc 37.5 was exactly that, 37.5. it came between 37 and 38. so this will be ufc 100. their not saying it is the 100th show or ppv. they are saying that is the name of the show. wtf, why are we even entertainig your bs argument, goodbye.

Calm down
