wow, if silva looses this fight , hes done. I hope he beats the shit out of franklins school teacher ass. same goes for cro cop, if he looses just fucki retire or never come back to the ufc, stay in japan where you can use steroids. Best fight of the night im looking forward to is , MIKE SWICKs fight fuck yeah!

Dude Mario that is the lamest thing I’ve ever heard. Get fucked buddy. Its way unfair to say he was using steroids in Japan. Hes even bigger now than he was then. He’s just older. It happens.

Cain is going to stand with Kongo for a minute and then take him down and show some even more brutal GnP than Kongo inflicted on Al Turk.

Carwin had his coming out party agaisnt Gabe and this will be Cain’s coming out party, MARK THAT DOWN!

I am hoping and praying for a Wanderlei win, but Rich is tricky. This is the first main event that I may not bet on in a loooooong time.

Wanderlei forearms look sick in that pic. He is ready to kill

by ViolentMike on Jun 12, 2009 4:46 PM EDT up reply actions

i hope he uses the rape choke on rich.

by roy on Jun 12, 2009 4:48 PM EDT up reply actions

I just hope he doesn’t hold his chin like that in the fight. And the term “rape choke” should be forever erased from MMA vernacular.

lighten up JJ.

Did wanderlei take his shirt off at the weigh ins? Curious to see how he looks in his 1st weight cut in a long time.

hey mania, did you ever post the winner of the guy who guessed the comment # and found their first post? another thing, I wish I was in NY, those deals at Johnny Utah’s are great (for those of you who drink). Split a bucket and a bottle for the same price if you all were separately getting the ppv!

I have a feeling that Richs technical striking will frustrate Silva. Although Silva has a punchers chance. I am a big fan of both but I think that Wanderlie needs this more than Rich.

by RyanHobbs on Jun 13, 2009 6:54 AM EDT up reply actions

these guys are superstars and BIG ppv DRAWS! Reality is that neither really need this fight. Neither’s job is at risk, and the loser off this fight wont suffer much…the UFC is going to spin it like: This was a catchweight, (if wand loses), wandy can still be a force at middleweight…and if (Rich loses), they will use the same excuse.

Regardless of who wins or lose, we will still continue to see both fighters in BIG FIGHTS!

by john on Jun 13, 2009 10:26 AM EDT up reply actions

The more mashed up Wanderlei’s face gets, the more he starts to remind me of Homer Simpson. Especially in pictures in which he’s trying to look serious. Once he gets older and puts on a little weight, the transformation will be complete.

lmao great stuf!

Wow!!! That is funny as all hell! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

rich looks like he has got a hunchback, maybe he has got the fear

by tez on Jun 12, 2009 4:37 PM EDT reply actions

He’s 2 inches taller than Silva. If he didn’t hunch his back Silva would have had to glare at his chin.

by MattNY on Jun 12, 2009 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions

Rich Franklin will get it done for sure with his technical striking, mark that down people. Kongo will beat Cain also and Swick will be too fast for Saunders. These are my bets.

Im pumped up for nearly every fight and more so after watching the weigh-in!!!!!!!!

by Spidermonkey on Jun 12, 2009 5:00 PM EDT reply actions

I’m not sold on Kongo, he hasn’t really beaten anyone with a name, no one impressive anyway(besides Mirko, which went to a decision). Cain is kind of in the same boat but I’d rather see Cain go the distance.

by The Buffalo on Jun 12, 2009 5:13 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah I still havent gotten over Kongo’s loss to Carmelo Marrero yet. That shit is not excusable.

by stevo on Jun 12, 2009 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions

Davis looks Huge, hes frickin shredded too, i really think he is gonna be way stronger, and if he is smart he will take hardy down and sub his ass, back to britain outlaw

I can’t see Franklin’s eyes. You’re good.

by Jason on Jun 12, 2009 8:16 PM EDT up reply actions

stares don’t mean anything its all bs just like posturing. What matters is what happens when you fight. Some fighters don’t like starring directly into their opponents eyes because they might have a “meaner stare” or whatever. Some fighters get nervous some don’t. Anything can happen in a fight specially at this level meaning you can get koed really bad on Tv I think any fighter is scarred of that.

jose on wec did not even look cub in the eyes when they were in the center of the octagon..and look what happened right after the bell..stare downs mean jack sh*t..

U are retarded if u think Al-Turk is gonna beat Cro Cop. Cro Cop is back bitches, as is Shogun. 2009 is gonna be a great year for four fighters in particular: Mousasi, Cro Cop, Shogun and Fedor (although which year isn’t great for The Last Emperor).
