I really enjoyed the GSP/BJ Primetime special and was hoping to see another one for 100…guess not

by McArthur on Jul 6, 2009 2:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

UFC 100 has too many big name fighters to run a primetime special devoted to 2 fighters.

Though Machida vs Silva did end up being a coming out party, I dont think you can argue that it was anticipated as much as GSP-Alves is. Even Bisping-Hendo has a pretty big build up due to them being TUF coaches.

i don’t think so machida/silva?
the 100 card is bigger than anyother card since ortiz/liddell – couture/liddell.. esp. cause it’s 100 and the fan expo is on friday

Yeah I think the new years UFC card last year was bigger than the liddell vs ortiz and couture. Didn’t end up being that great of a card but the matches were good in theory lol

the last new years UFC wasn’t bigger than Ortiz vs Liddell II…. but it was a better card than UFC 100 on paper as was UFC 84!

BJ/GSP are two top five P4P fighters, hence why they get the special. I agree that Silva/Machida was very anticipated but thats only for hardcore fans who knew who both fighters were. For the average guy, that should have just been an undercard fight.

I know but its an awesome show..in fact, they should do one for every event

by McArthur on Jul 6, 2009 3:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

BJ is not even top 10 p4p.

by Lester The Pimp on Jul 6, 2009 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

lol, of course he is lester. Even if you don’t like him, you can’t deny he’s top P$P. I hate GSP, but am not dumb enough to give him his props.
P$P
fedor
silva
gsp
torres
BJ
Diaz
machida
who do you have on that list (you’d need 4 more to push BJ out!

by kevin on Jul 6, 2009 4:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

agreed with Kev…but if he loses to Kenny I’ll have my doubts

by McArthur on Jul 6, 2009 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I’m really surprised you have Diaz ahead of Machida kev. I’ve got

Fedor
GSP
Silva
Machida
Torres
BJ
Mike Brown
Rampage
Rashad

I’m sorry bud, my list was in no particular order, just tried to jot down 10, got stuck after 7. was just trying to prove a point that BJ is obviously up there!

by kevin on Jul 6, 2009 6:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

after bj gets dominated by florian there will be no doubt he doesnt belong in any pnp top ten list.

by dtoto on Jul 6, 2009 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

why they had the special is because the two of them are well-known superstars and that the undercard for that event s’cked there were no real big names at all, GSP/BJ carried that whole card!…

Machida and Silva got about zero questions on the press conference..

by RoB on Jul 6, 2009 8:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

how many different weight classes does a guy have to win in to get respect?

by Jimbob on Jul 6, 2009 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

they will have one for Evans/jackson unless it’s pretty much the TUF show.
but nothing was better than Penn/GSP

by mikeybear on Jul 6, 2009 3:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I would imagine Countdown would be reserved for a Anderson Silva GSP fight.

Anyone knows what’s the latest with the UK broadcast. Seems no more news after last week. It’s only a few days away.

by Devonman on Jul 6, 2009 5:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Pretty sure Virgin 1 is picking up the deal, and I even think UFC 100 will be both live and free for you guys. Could be wrong, but thats what I heard.

anyone knows where i can watch spike’s last night’s show? i’d like to see the 5 shows building up to the main event!!

Yes if anyone has a link, I missed that as well with all the July 4th activities carrying over into Sunday.

I just had a guy at work bet me 800 on the penn/florian fight! I wanted 1000 he wanted 500, we met in the middle. looks like my trip is paid for!!!!!!!

Hope you bet on Florian.

Dude you just lost $800. Idiot………..

by Dragon on Jul 6, 2009 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

oh so can I borrow your delorian? how can you call someone an idiot for predicting a winner of a fight that hasn’t happened?
so anyone that predicted serra would beat gsp was probably an idiot too…oh wait, bj is the favorite, on top of that, everything kenny does, bj does a little better!

by kevin on Jul 6, 2009 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Kevin you are an idiot if you picked bj over florian, even gsp predicted florian will be the new champ. florian is vastly improved, he has a way better overall striking game than BJ, and much more reach. He will implement use his great footwork, and much greater reach to keep bj away, and pick him apart. also from training with gsp, i expect him to mix taking bj down, to keep him off balance and use his great elbows, and gnp to beat up some more on BJ. Say goodbye to your money.

by dtoto on Jul 6, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I would have put down a nice amount of money on Kenny if i was betting on MMA!
BJ being the favorite makes it even better, cause that means more money!

by RoB on Jul 6, 2009 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

only a fool would bet money on bj, him being a favorite, makes betting on kenny a no brainer, he has evolved way past bj, and it will be painfully clear to bj, that its time to retire after he loses this fight. I was laughing all the way to the bank, last fight, when gsp was only around -200 when he fought bj. I knew it would be one of the worst mismatches in the history of the UFC, and that bj wouldnt win a round.when he fights kenny, i see bj winning one round at the most, and will not be suprised if bj doesnt win a single round. I think after this fight, delusional bj fans will finally realize bj isnt anywhere as good as they think he is. I SEE a complete mismatch, with kenny dominating. bj retires after ufc 101.

by dtoto on Jul 6, 2009 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

lol, wow, GSP says Kenny will win, I better listen!

by kevin on Jul 7, 2009 7:00 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

just in case anyone who cares missed this, here it is!

MONDAY MORNING CONVERSATION:
Good morning guys, had a few topics, but gonna keep it on UFC 100. I may not be on much this week (my son has football camp) so I’ll give my predictions.
Bisping will win a decision. I have to stick with it since I predicted a year ago that he and Silva would meet in late 2009 for the title.
I’ll be rooting for Alves for a few reasons. I don’t care for GSP is the main reason, but if Alves wins, we get an instant rematch. If GSP wins, what’s left for him a WW? He’s cleaned out the division, and it’s time to put on weight and move to MW! There are more possibilities for Alves at WW and realistically nothing left for GSP to prove. As much as I don’t like him, there is no one at his level in the UFC (unless they bring in Nick Diaz)!
I got Mir. The more I break this fight down, the more I give it to Mir! He has to look for Brock’s right hand and that’s it! Brock won’t stop Mir with hammer fists on the ground (but will get submitted), and his right comes in so predictable that Mir should be able to avoid it! I’m gonna go out on a limb and pick Mir by KO!
**********************************************************************
Off topic to Alpha male and any one else I offended (canadian). I apologize. After reading alpha’s rant, I had to ask my wife if she wrote it. It was word for word one of her usual lectures about me being a sociopath and arrogant. It really isn’t my intention, it’s just me. Sorry I bring up obscure things like a 12k run at poker (in 6 weeks) or my job. I’m just being me and being honest! I would never bash anyone for doing the same or brag to make someone feel like a douche! If you got a good new job, I’d congratulate you (like I did with Chefdaddy), if you graduated college I’d do the same (like John). I could get my mma news from any of a dozen or more sights, I come here for my peeps in the comment section! We make mania what it is! My intentions are not to hurt anyones feelings or come off too much like a dick! I have talked to or texted many guys off the site and obviously have put together a trip to 101 for almost 20 maniacs so we can chill for a weekend and watch mma with guys we chat with every day! You are all (most of you) very knowledgeable, and I enjoy chatting with you immensely! I won’t change who I am, but know I truly am not trying to offend anyone and am sorry if I did. Sorry also that this is John like in length!

what did you say about Canadians?

by McArthur on Jul 6, 2009 3:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Alpha was busting my balls every day about my “mans man” comment a month back, acting like it was a gay comment. I explained what I meant and mentioned canadians maybe not knowing that figure of speech. I was being serious (since english may not be his first language) and he got all butt hurt, lectured me and brought up everything I’ve ever posted (smoking cigars, gambling etc). the rant sounded like a lecture my wife gives me, so I simply wanted to tell him (and everyone else) that I am who I am, and mean no disrespect, am not bragging and just keep it real! I have no reason to lie or to change my ways, you either like me or not, I don’t really care! We all have opinions and thats it!

stinkys~story/ chapter, 1..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was lonelier than kunta kinte at a merle haggard concert~

That night i strolled on into uncle Limpy’s hump palace lookin’ for love.

it had been a while. ~

in fact, three hundred and sixty-five days had come and went since that midnight run ‘haulin’ hog-dogs to shakey town on I-10.

i had picked up this hitchhiker that was sweatin’ gallons through a pair of daisy duke cut-offs and one of those fruit Of the loom tank-tops.

Well, that night I lost myself to ruby red lips~

~milky white skin

~and baby blue eyes………….her name was russell.

~~~~

well, faster than you can say, “shallow grave”,

this pretty little thing come up to me and starts kneadin’ my testies like hard-boiled eggs in a tube sock.

she said her name was bambi’

and i said, "well that’s a coincidence darlin’,

‘cause i was just thinkin’ about skinnin’ you like a deer."

Well she smiled,~
- had about as much teeth as a jack-O-lantern, -

then i went on to tell her how i would wear her face like a mask as i do my little kooky dance.

and then she told me to shush!!

i guess she could sense my desperation~

‘course, it’s hard to hide my hard-on when you’re dressed like micheal jackson.

chapter, 3~
~~~~~~

so, bambi’s goin’ on about how she can make all my fantasies come true.

so i says,

“even this one I have where jesus christ
is jackhammering mickey mouse in the doo-doo hole
with a lawn dart as garth brooks gives birth to something resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on santa claus’s tummy-tum?”

well, ten beers, twenty minutes and thirty dollars later~

i’m parkin’ the beef bus in tuna town if you know what I mean.

got to nail her back at her trailer. heh’. [that rhymes].

i have to admit it was even more of a turn-on
when i found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.

chapter, 4 [finale chapter]
~~~~~~

anyways~

a month or so had passed when i popped the clutch,
gave the tranny a spin and slid on into
the gulp n’ guzzle big rig snooze-a-stop.

there i was browsin’ through the latest issue of “throb”,

thats when i saw bambi starin’ at me from the back of a milk carton.

well, my heart just dropped.

so, i decided to do what any good christian would.

you can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice

and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin’ seventy-five in an eighteen-wheeler.

i never thought missing children could be so sexy.

‘did i just admit that out loud’?

I am starting to think Bisping is going to win, but how can you not have the same reaction as Krystof to the Count saying he is going to knock him out?

Exactly, it doesnt get any more biased than that.

I was also thinking hendo hendo hendo when i heard about the matchup but now im leaning towards Bisping.

by VNDK8 on Jul 6, 2009 4:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Lesnar v Mir – I’ll pick Mir for this one. As long as he hangs back and stays out of range of Lesnar’s punches and takedowns he should eventually be albe to capitalise on a mistake and/or fatigue and get a clean submission.

GSP v Alves – This will almost certainly be a GSP victory, and a boring one at that.

Bisping v Henderson – Although I think Bisping is a smug idiot, I expect him to take this by decision. He’s not going to be able to knock out Henderson, but his relative youth will mean as the rounds go on he’ll look more dominating.

Can’t wait!! Two champions Brock and GSP defending their belts…ohh yeah to all the Brock haters he has the real belt. Even Mir in this video after he beat NOG pointed it out. Combined with all the other great fights is going to be a night to remember for any MMA fan. I’m could care less about the “COuntown to 100” video I’ve seen enough hype already lets get it on, the top 100 is cool though.
