UFC 100 poster for 'Lesnar vs Mir 2' on July 11

I’m taking Alves also. Gimme that $ boy!

I already bet money on Alves and Bisping…and soon I will be betting money on brock as well!

I cant wait for this event to get over with, that way Mir can go back to being irrelevant! He will lose to Brock, then get abused by someone like Gonzaga or Herring, and then we will never hear from him again.

I mean seriously? UFC champ? what the difference between Mir and Jeff Monson? NOt that much…. yet I dont see anyone saying that Monson is good enough to be heavyweight champion of the UFC.

By this time NEXT year, I promise you guys that Mir will be NOTHING! He probably wont even be fighting this time next year!

do these posters go on sale? I wouldl ike to start collecting UFC event posters. Anyone know where I can get them?

I’ve seen them on E-Bay

mir is so fat it is unbelievable..

john you go man!.. I completely agree with you on Frankie boy..

john you can get these posters at the UFC site as well. but for some reason they remove and re add older posters so you might have to do some searching for the ones you want.

Slugger I think you will go 3 for 3 on losses.

Brock- Round 1 via TKO
GSP- Round 2 via armbar
Fitch- Round 3 via GnP
Bisping- UD

i’ve got all 3 underdogs

bisping/mir/alves FTW

just imagine what Brock would have done to Nog that night Mir fought him… He would have knocked his head off!! just like he will this time against Mir, Mir’s takedowns s*ck and this fight is going to be a standup Brock ownation in the salvation of the creation!

thanks for the heads up guys on the posters. I would like to start callecting some of the better ones. I plan on purchasing my 1st house within the next 2 years, and i plan on building myself a nice sports-bar, Tv room in the basement, and I would love to decorate it with framed uFC posters.

JJ: Let me respond to your last posts about the GSP/alves debate.

No need to cover your bases when you pick the underdog against one of the best fighters on the planet. Believe me when I tell you that I am a HUGE GSP fan. YOu say, I rooted against GSP the last 3 fights. nOt true. I will root against GSP when he fights Alves, because I am the biggest Alves fan on earth, I like his chances at an upset, and the odds on betting alves are juicy for me to risk.

nO one should be criticized for picking BJ over GSP. THey are 2 of the most popular fighters in the sport…you had to pick on over the other. YES, I was completely wrong! Penn got Destroyed, but I have NEVER once made that hater-ish claim that GSP only won because of the grease.

Prior to that fight he faced Fitch. I bet money on gSP, and rooted for GSP the entire time. THe only thing I said about that fight was that Fitch was a legit bad ass, that was going to cause GSP some problems. I was wrong again, because he walked through Fitch, but I wasnt rooting against GSP.

Prior to that fight he faced Serra, who I am a HUGE fan of. I picked GSP, unlike my boy Kevin. I bet on gSP, and rooted for him every step of the way.

I always rooted for GSP{ everytime he fought Hughes.
I rooted for GSP when he fought Koschek.

what more do you want? sorry I dont pick him in every single one of his fights, but that doesnt make me any less of a GSP fan. I always look forward to a GSP fight, and 90% of the time I pick/root for GSP. Just so happens that lately he has been facing guys that I am big fans of as well.

Calling me a GSP hater is far from the truth.

My only Knock on GSP, is that I think he is an amazing striker top 3 in the division in that department for sure. I just dont like the fact that I dont get to see him strike anymore. He has become primarily a ground n pound fighter. His G n P is far from boring, but I never really enjoyed G n P much, besides when Fedor does it.

My favorite thing about GSP is probably his under rated jits. HIs transition when he went from Inverted triangle-Kimura-arm bar was some seriously HIgh level jits. I adore beautiful high level jits…my only knock on GSP is that is jits is so damn good that I owuld like to see more of it.

Believe me when I say, I am a big fan of GSP. He is easily one of the top 5 fighters on earth and a class act. only a hater could not like GSP….and I am far from that!

Its official! Anderson Silva has dropped his contract with the UFC!!! He will now be competing exclusively for… Dancing with the Stars! After realizing his true passion, and statements such as “the fans don’t understand my style of fighting” Anderson has stepped up the competition and we could see him twirling away as soon as june! I’m excited!!

not that I’m a huge Mir fan but imo he deserves more credit…he can be a bit of a pompus ass but beating Hardonk, then Brock then NOG is impressive on paper

money on alves = donation to the bookies’ kids’ college fund

Rob: great post. I am a diehard nOg fan for life, but I think Nog would have lost to pretty much anyone that he fought in the shape he was in when he fought Mir. Thank god he didnt face Brock that night or Nog might have DIED!

I dont think the Brock/Mir fight will ever hit the ground until Brock KO’s him that is! Mir takedowns suck…and I dont even think he will be able to pull guard against Brock. If he tries that against Brock, I think he will get slammed on his head. Mir will be forced to fight brock standing, and Mir is not tough enough, technical enough, or powerful enough to survive a stand up fight against Brock.

Lets not forget what a huge reach advantage Brock and his monkey arms will have going into this fight.

I dont like to bash peoples opinions….Everyone has the right to pick or root for anyone they like…but I think anyone who actually bets money on mir, is a DAMN FOOL! REAL TALK!

Apparently SPIKE wants Rampage and the winner of Evans/Machida to be the next coaches on TUF. Obiously SPIKE will be pulling for Rashad then, more drama=more ratings. I just hate when they put the belt, thats already hard enough to get, on hold for a tv show. IMO the 205 belt should be defended more times than most belts due to the depth of talent in the division. On the other hand I guess they need more time to find the next most deserving contender.

thats how I feel about money on mir!

Tom: that is horrible news, they already f’ed Rampage up with once with that foolish show… just end the show, call it quit!.. just hope they don’t through with something silly like that..

Imo Rampage should never do the show again; he wrecked himself last time; right now he’s focused, in great shape and looked good his last 2 fights; they should keep him away from TUF.

agreed! coaches like Bisping and Hendo are good enough for the show. No need to hold up titles for that show. Having a good fighter as a coach or a champion as a coach doesnt make any difference. Title fights dont need months of TUF hype to build up!

If they are going to continue with the silly show, the least they can do is keep our champions off that stupid show!

especially the LHW champion. THat division cant be held up. too many great title challengers for whoever has the belt to face!

no, exactly.. Rampage has no upside whatsoever being on that show again, he’s been there, done that. now let him be.. just watched his fight against Jardine the other night, 30-27 clearly, Jardine looked scared and backpeddaled all the time..

John,
you can get some at the UFC store. Here’s the link.

http://ufcstore.seenon.com/index.php?v=ufc_ufc_event-gear_posters

However, most sites that sell posters have some but not all, so you have to look around a bit. Of course there are some on ebay with autographs, but those run $150-$200. Although, with all the $$ your’e putting down on these fights, I’m sure you could spring for em.

Hey John…People say Mir can be champ due to the fact that he already submitted Brock, knocked out Nog and submited Tim when when he was still good. Comparing Monson to Mir is a little much. Big Tim toyed with Monson, Brock would kill him Monson and Nog would choke him..end of story
That being said tough fight to call too early for me to choose

Agreed Rob, I don’t even know which judge said Jardine lost that fight in the last 10 seconds, or how Jardine even believes that garbage. He got beat down throughout the whole fight; every round, period. And thats against a Rampage that was over trained; with his new dedication and with the shape he’s in he’s gonna be unstoppable peaking at the right time.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see GSP coaching opposite A. Silva WHEN George gets past Alves. I can see the build up now..

Dana: “This season was the craziest we’ve ever done; it got intense, these two just plain don’t like eachother; Anderson sneezed and George didn’t say god bless you. Silva’s F*in pissed.”

LOL o damn. It’s bad enough to hold up one title. Holding up two for that retarded show would be a travesty. Plus, they need at least one of the coaches to be American, don’t they? This IS Spike TV we’re talking about.

Yea I know, I was just thinking about how polite and uneventful a season like that would be and got a little chuckle out of it.

Is it just me or does it seem like most of the people here are swinging from john’s sack more than usual? considering all the people going out of their way to get him some posters that he briefly mentioned? lol

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone’s swinging from john’s nuts tighter than usual? lol

excellent post robert!..im with john almost on everything posting or just reading but saying those are a bit over the line…u know what john? im really one of the people who thinks mir is no good but really rooting for him against brock…u know how lame ufc or mma for that matter can become having brock as the undisputed champ? i can only imagine lashly signing up with the ufc..hell, even batista or stonecold for that fckin matter…u jst don’t get it..its

entertainer vs fighter…

one of the most exciting lightweights in the world, that NEVER gets mentioned on this site: Jean Silva will return to the fight game after a year long hiatus from the fight game to deal with injuries.

Silva is in no means a top lightweight, but the former Chute bOx fighter is very exciting. He is a bad ass that mixes in his capoiera style into his striking. He is living in london now, were he was pretty damn exciting in cage Rage, after he left Pride.

He will now return to fighting and has 4 fights scheduled in 3 months:

The first fight will be on May 9, in the Ultimate Challenge, against the English J. A. Ween. The second will be against Dave Elliot in the British FC tournament, on May 30. In FX3, June 13, I’ll face Sami Bering and, on July 25, I’ll face Flávio Álvaro at Shine, in Miami.

Busy summer for the Brazilian. If there are any british fans on this site that live in the area of were he is fighting, i would suggest going to see him live, if you havent already!

Think I saw him live at Cage Rage, I wasn’t impressed. Didn’t Iminari almost break his ankle?

a Brazilian named Silva…go figure

YEAH IT WAS A JOKE MAN BUT IF HE DID THAT WOULD FUNNY

“WOULD BE FUNNY” SORRY THAT WAS THE DYSLEXIA KICKING IN

seems like a post he might make…just congrats to his training buddy…could be I guess…I’ve seen him wearing MMAMania T-shirts in his interviews before…too bad we didn’t catch it yesterday

Fitch has posted on mania a few times here or there. He usually links his webpage of fitchfighter.com

I don’t even know about 3, I wouldn’t pick Mir in any of those fights; maybe Herring or Kongo if he could even get the fight to the ground. I don’t think his striking is good enough to hang with Couture, Randy would lump him up and god knows Mir isn’t going to take that fight to the ground. We’ll find out against Brock but with Lesnar and Carwin, I see it being a beat down; He could probably take Gonzaga if he made it out of the 1st rd and wore him down a bit; thats assuming Mir’s cardio is as good as he claims.

I pick Nog in a rematch, Mir’s gameplan was to stay off the ground, that right there says he’s afraid of Nog’s jits. A 100% healthy Nog would tool him standing up. He’d have no place to go. I don’t think I even have to mention Fedor or Barnett, those would be complete ownage.

you guys are giving mir enough credit, besides fedor and maybe barneett I think mir can beat everyone of those heavyweights as long as he’s in shape. this whole thing about nogeruia having staph is just an excuses.

No way, I’ve NEVER seen Nog look that bad, and that out of shape; a fighter might be able to make another fighter look bad, but they can’t make them look like their flabby and over weight. Mir beat a gimped Nog, just like Forrest beat a gimped Shogun and a gimped Page.

i totally agree with your point o damn! and now that mir did looked great in the eyes of the casual fan by beating a nog zombie..i dont have a choice but to pray that he wins against brock the second time around..if you are saying that mir is not due to the spotlight sorrounding him what more can you say about brock? and how about you john? getting into the wwe hype? and by the way you listed brock waaaayyyy to high..you always state on what mir will become after being beating by brock at 100 but can you imagine brock after being fooled by mir again? i seriously don’t think brock can win a healthy nog,carwin or velasquez..he might end up fighting congo and then lashley!

war pride!

I flip flop on Frank a lot, there’s interviews and appearances where he’s an intelligent, humble likeable guy, but then he flips a 180 and just goes into blatant arrogance mode. This guy is like Jekyl & Hyde to me.

O sh!t I think its those teleportin kids from that movie with Sammy J; that would be f*in tight!

Oh

Sorry I’m bored, trying to entertain myself.. I don’t really mind “work” but this 8 hr wait to get home is a b

Amen to that brother!

I think Kos would get another shot at GSP before Fitch. Kos can at least say he’s improved and he didn’t get beaten like a rented mule.

Kos can’t string two wins together at the moment. Think he’s a long way off a shot too.

I think Fitch is closer then people give him credit for a title fight. If Alves wins I see a solid marketing rematch of Alves’s last loss. However I do agree that no one is screaming to see Fitch back with GSP anytime soon.

Does the WW division not seem as strong as it was two years ago…? I mean Karo, Kos, Hughes, and Serra all appear to be on the downside of thier careers also with Diego at 155. Maybe it’s just by compairson now that 205 and 185 are so solid?
