and some more off topic!

dennis hallman signs 4fight deal with ufc! i hope he fights hughes!! haha

I agree 100% Forrest went out like a biotch IMO!! Be a man. you can be all happy and joking when you win, but run off like a 2 year old when you lose. Shogun got tapped by forrest when people thought he was the best at 205. Do you think Shogun he felt good after that fight? Hell no! But he still stood there like a man head high and gave forrest his due, even though in the back of his mind he knows that if he wasn’t coming off surgery, he would have killed him!!!
,
Forrest is a fan favoite , but I’m afraid he will lose fans with these antics. Come on, even Dana owned him with a post fight comment when asked where Forrest went Dana replied , “I think he might be in georgia by now. He just ran out of here.”
,
All I kept thinking was, “RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!!”

good posts. I had no respect for Forrests skills, but now im losing respect for him as a man! Definitely acting like an overgrown baby! Running out of the cage like that is just classless and to make matters worse, he didnt even have the balls to show up to the press conference which is the PROFESSIONAL THING TO DO, especially when you are a fan favorite thats headlining the card!

I said it from the beginning that I wasnt buying that dislocated Jaw excuse….His Jaw is fine. NOthing wrong with him accept for some serious immaturity!

I said the same thing when he started running

LOl I’m not sure about the jaw but something was wrong with Forrest he looked scared after the first flurry of punches maybe he was to jacked for the fight and the nerves got to him?

Or he realised what a lot of us already knew – He’s SH!T.

I wouldn’t go that far he was only a inch away from making solid contact on Silva’s face before he got KO’d and he took some power punches from Rampage but he is a very up and down fighter looks like a top 5 fighter one fight then looks like he should be in Strikeforce the next?

Forrest was fine until he got dropped by Andy’s first punch, after that the writing was on the wall and Silva did what I said that he was going to do and made Forrest look foolish and smashed him into oblivion.

Poor showing from Forrest after the fight, running away instead of showing Silva respect for being the better man, then not even appearing at the press conference. I like Forrest but that was really disrespectful to Silva and the fans, hopefully those idiots who booed Anderson know better now.

Strikeforce has really dropped the ball making a chick-fight the main event. Ridiculous.

And this card has really gone down the crapper with Diaz tarding out. From what I’ve seen of Ishida he’s not a very exciting fighter to watch. The only fight that really interests me on this card now is Mousasi/Babalu.

That being said, I really like Strikeforce and have high hopes for their next offering. I expect to see the following three fights on the October card:

1) Fedor vs. Rogers (#1 contender match)

2) Overeem vs. Werdum (HW title – assuming Werdum wins on Sat)

3) Shields vs. Jacare (MW title)

Haven’t had much time to chat lately Maniacs, because my arm has healed to the point where I can resume heavy training again. Heading up to the BC interior for the next few days. Peace out ’till then

im just pumped they arnt showing the gsp fight, cuz that fight was boring as hell and now we get 2 see 3 fights that wernt on before

GSP’s destruction of Alves was great. You would rather see Gurgerty vs. Grice in a who gives a shit match than GSP vs. Alves in a title fight? Yes, we already saw this fight, but there are people that didn’t see 100 that I am sure would rather see GSP/Alves.

Anyone else surprised that Gina isn’t making the late night show rounds? I figured that would be the best way they would market her looks and this thing. I guess now that all eyes are on strikeforce, their f-ups are showing they are as incompetent as everyone else in the MMA graveyard.

99% of the world doesnt know who Bisping is!

I’ll never ever tire of seeing that! God bless Dan Henderson.

DVR!! For those of you who couldn’t record live I was lucky enough that my box let me? But then again I think with UFC 102 around the corner I won’t waste another Saturday night watching strikfarce.

I’ve watched that KO so many times. It’s like a fine wine, its just keeps getting better with age. Bisping probably wakes up in the morning and still takes elbow.

WAR DAN"S ELBOW !!!

“It’s like a fine wine, its just keeps getting better with age” LOL

I’ll be watching UFC 100, I can catch the recap on the Mousasi vs Babalu fight on Mania, thats the only one I’m interested in anyway, the rest of the card went downhill fast. Maintaining my campaign to not contribute to anything M-1 has a hand in, and thats SF at the moment.

It was only a matter of time. LET THE WAR BEGIN! Go DANA.

I woke up this morning, and THANKED Dan Henderson AGAIN, these past few weeks have been great since that knockout.

Now I get to wait patiently as the rumor is, Bisping wants a shot at Wand, what a year!

I will be watching the women for the same reason everbody watches a chick fight… in case a boob poops out. :-P

That’s funny BNF.

John stoop being a POSER!

I am actually looking forward to Carano vs. Cyborg. Outide of Mousasi vs. Babalu, the rest of the card has been degraded by injuries and other various problems.

only fight i can watch without getting tired is hendo-bisping. lesnar-mir 2 and the akyama were good too but that was it. gsp-alves was a huge letdown, but from a technical perspective is was amazing, just wasn’t exciting. and fitch-thiago sucked

100 was on the whole more interesting that 101 imo.

I’m biased!

GSP/Alves was only relatively boring

i didn’t find it boring, but then again, I’m a huge fan of GSP and also knew what was going on (i guess unlike some people) and the skill and strategy of the fight.

I guess kevin also thought Hughes and Couture were in a lot of boring fights too…

wow Rob, I can never have an opinion without you jumping on me. I know what was going on and realize GSP got injured, sorry I don’t find it to be an exciting fight! my bad almighty rob!

by the way rob, not too many people here found it too exciting. GSP dominated, and didn’t finish when I personally felt he could have. I realize he relies heavily on his wrestling, I just think he could dominate alves standing too. while I’m not a fan, I’m giving gsp tons of props!

GSP-Alves was like all of GSP’s fights these days, he takes his opponent down and wears them out, beating them mentally in the first round and crusing to a decision (unless they quit first). It’s not the most exciting style and it’s quite hypocritical that Lesnar gets booed for using wrestling to win fights, but GSP is a freak athlete and until someone at WW trains in all aspects of the game like him then he isn’t going to be beaten.

I think it’s smart showing prelims that didn’t make the card, GSP-Alves was a 25 minute fight that all UFC fans have already seen, so by cutting that they can show arguably more exciting fights that PPV buyers didn’t see. The other two main events are there because everyone seems to love Hendo (I’ll never understand why) and hate Bisping (to be fair I can see why even though I like him) so they want to see that KO whilst Lesnar is the biggest star in MMA today, whether you’re a fan or not you want to see him because you don’t know what he’s going to do next. After that post-fight interview, the UFC have to show Brock-Mir II again.

Personally I would rather watch the SF card, as I’ve already seen 100 and Mousasi-Babalu is a sick fight, but it’s not on TV here anyway so counter programming doesn’t affect me.

David I have to disagree…

If you look at the Fitch fight he knocked fitch down three times I believe. He also knocked Alves down and in the Penn fight was beating him senseless

As I said I am a big fan, so no fight of his is going to be boring. Saying he tries to ride out a decision…cmon man…seriously? And what fighter in the right mind is going to try to stand with Alves when he’s fresh? Kos? we know what happens….

I just don’t think it was that boring of a fight. it was like Hughes’ past fights and some of Coutures. Georges beat the crap out of Alves, Penn and Fitch. Penn was the only one he didn’t knock down standing. But he did pick him apart when they were on the feet after a round or so.

I completely understand why they aren’t showing the fight, but I’m just sticking up for the fact that it wasn’t a fight that you can clearly label boring (or alteast not to me)

Kev! im not trying to jump all over you man! sorry!

no biggie, to disagree is one thing, to say i have no clue is another. I think my knowledge speaks for itself, and the conversations we had in phily this weekend (OJR, Dustin, Robert and I) were far from no knowledge! Thats all, no worries buddy, it’s just hot here so I’m irritable! AC is pumping and it’s still 74 in here!

i dont have showtime soooo YAY for ufc 100!!! i realy wanted see the jon jones fight.

wow your not gay at all

I like boys too by the way

oh whoever that is, is real cool back to clinton jackson i suppose

?wow?

fuck u!

yea and i just reported you to the administrator so dont even try to use my name again this is not cool man NOT COOL

“i just reported you to the administrator”
now I’m seriously laughing uncontrollably! If mania cared he’d have a log in. people do this all the time, calm down. It’s probably thedrago or the johnworksforzuffa guy, get over it. Why are you so mad? The only reason I can see is because it’s true!

Leave him alone!

these focking kids need to go back to school. Everytime schools out, this site turns to CRAP!

we were talking about that last weekend. No one believed me last spring break when i said “oh, school must be out,” but I was so right!

I’ve really noticed a dramatic decrease in the average IQ level here lately. Makes me less inclined to get involved in debates. Some of you retards need to leave the jokes to the bigger kids.

lol

Zuffa wouldnt disclose any part of the disagreement its because of GSP legal team, GSP stated he would discuss the matter prior to the Season Finale of Royal Pains on USA

on USA? I do like that show, and haven’t seen anything on this. are you busting balls or being serious? I’ve seen no mention of this, and the fact that his fights were broadcast on the top 100 countdown, I don’t know whether to believe you or not!

Usa is in direct negotiations with GSP’s legal team
GSP 180 airs this fall !

yeah but he works for Zuffa, they own his fights. The only person in the world that owns there rights to fights is Fedor. I call B.S.

mania, is there truth to this? I’m very curious!

Yes Kevin you need to check your resources LIMITED Liability is contractual

I call RUMOR otherwise we would of heard something about it?

administrator, what the hell are you talking about? Zuffa owns GSP’s fights, he has no say (or his legal team) of when Zuffa shows them!

gullible be thy name kevin

no guys hes right look into it

lol Rob how much longer can he be strung

Oh great, now some mongo is using my screen name too. Oh well, it won’t be hard to tell the difference. The usurper’s posts will suck.

There are seperate ratings for DVR, and the networks pay very close attention to them too. In the long run, this could lead to the end of Strikeforce if the UFC continues to counter program all their shows!

if someone is going to dvr one, wouldn’t you dvr the one you know how it turns out? watch the one you have no idea what is going to happen.

Dana will counter Fedor’s debut with a free live PPV on Spike. If you ask me Dana is a mad scientist. He will crush all competition in order to obtain the best fighters for the UFC. He is it in for the fans but he is a business man first.

free live ppv? what?

That really doesnt make sense. Dana will have a PPV quality live event on spike. There ya go buttcrack.

Absolutely.

I dispute using the word “legend” to describe Jeff Lacey.

hes 25-2 with a gold metal in the olympics. how many mma fighters have those credintials? Fedor has a similar record and is called a legend (without a gold metal)

Agree, I wouldn’t consider Lacey a legend. He had a good run before getting derailed by Calzague. Roy Jones’ career is at a point similar to other old champions, he knows he will never be a contender but somehow wants to keep hanging to his past glories and all he does is make a shameful display of his fading set of skills. Let’s be honest, he is only relevant on this page because he has a grasp on a little publicity that A. Silva is giving him.

roy jones won a world title in his last fight… with calzaghe retired all of his belts are up for grab. rj is 58-5 and at 41 can still beat 98% of people in the world. A. Silva is a fool for thinking he would even be competative in a boxing match with roy, he just wants a big pay day before he retires and roy jones can give it to him.

There are 5 world titles in each division in boxing, so winning a title in these times is not that difficult for experienced fighters. In the US the “the boxing world” is relatively small. Guys like Kesler of poland who had a great run never got a chance in the US. There are great fighters around the world that never get the chance to compete in the US and retire in obscurity. Great examples of fighters that get a chance are Hatton and Tszyu, they were relative unknowns that were given small chances and made the most of them.

With Lacey, winning a gold medal in boxing makes you a legend in amateur boxing, in professional boxing he was less than average, our of those 25 fights how many were 12 rounders and how many were against average and top contenders.

sac, you’re wrong about lacey but 100% correct about Silva’s chances against RJJ.

I’m actually the same way kevin when it comes to other sports. If I see the score I don’t have any interest in watching it. With MMA though I still like watching the fights if I know the outcome. I probably would’ve bought 100 even if I knew it was coming on a month later, just because it was 100 though. But something doesn’t sit right with me about paying $50 for a PPV and then them showing it on free TV a month later. Just because I think Dana’s a bitch I’m watching all UFC events online or at a bar from now on. UFC isn’t getting my money anymore if they’re going to show the events for free after a month. And to all UFC nuthuggers I know the UFC will be just fine without my money, it’s just the principle.

I get it dice!

great post, you still need an iphone though! lol jk

kibbled Strikeforce makes money on their gate depending on the salaries of fighters. When Shamrock fought the gate was not enough to cover the fighters wages but the showtime money probally made up for everything else and then some.

coker came out and said they have to sell so many tickets (I forgot the #) to break even for this event

Carwin & Cain fight Oct. 24th I don’t think the winner would have enough time to prepare unless the winner comes out of that fight at near 100%?

thanks puck, in that case, you’re right, maybe superbowl card then!

My guess is Anderson/Hendo at 106, Penn/Sanchez, GSP/Swick, and Tito/Coleman at 108 (New Year’s card), and Lesnar/Carwin on Superbowl Saturday.

If NOG wins I can see them putting him up against Brock in Nov. otherwise we will have to wait for Superbowl Saturday six months after 100 I guess?

Amazing that anyone could think watching fights you already know the outcome of could be more exciting than watching live fights.

I agree 100% JJ

There will be more fan’s watching 100 replay than Strikefarce for many different reasons Jeremy it’s just a fact a hardcore MMA fan like yourseld is going to have to deal with. Enjoy the WEC, Strikeforce & Dream that’s cool but don’t tell me to be a MMA fan you need to follow every organization. Simply put the UFC with all their shows and events can even satisfy the harcore fan and is were 95% of the best fighters fight. I could care less who the Strikforce champion is they are lucky to defend it once a year.

I never disputed that UFC 100 will draw more viewers. I’m sure it will. My amazement stems from your statement that you think a UFC 100 replay will be “more exciting”.

And yes, casual MMA fans will probably only follow one major brand, that being the UFC. But this site is, by definition, not for casual fans. Casual fans aren’t on here debating every detail of upcoming fights. So I believe you are certainly the minority on sites like this when you claim that MMA fans only need to follow one organization. More fights = more fun for MMA fans.

JJ take it easy there was no comment about mma fans have to follow one organization. I made the simple statement that the UFC has enough fights for even the hardcore MMA fans to get there mma fix.

 The fact that you watch other organizations does not make you a more intelligent fan you just simply have more time in your life schedule to commit your time on watching MMA than most fans. Saturday night if I’m watching the replay of 100 and the wife or kids want to go rent a movie or something no big deal or if a friend calls and wants to go out I’m gone watching Strikeforce on the other hand would be a waste of money and time.

 Live UFC events my wife knows it’s guy’s night out, TUF watch when aired or watch taped. And to be honest there is no excitment watching guy’s fight for a meaningless status and the Strikeforce belts really mean nothing? I can watch almost any fights for free at my convenience For example if Rogers comes to the UFC I’ll go back and watch his last five or six fights for free or if someone say’s I think this guy is good I can do the same. Fighting for nothing is not exciting for to many fans there JJ.

UFC has over 200 fights a year over 50 hours of live events, and TUF to top it all off. More than all the other organizations combined!! Now thats HARDCORE JJ. Not to mention they have the fighters in the world. Watching Strikefarce is like watching affliction… pointless to say the least you have some talented fighters facing not so good fighters Mousasi against Babalu is probally the only fight that has two decent fighters but we all know Babalu would not crack the top five in the UFC and Mousasi has yet to prove himself against top contenders wich is the only real excitement basically JJ a jones vs coleman kind of excitment? The fact is you cutting down UFC MMA hardcore fans shows your ignorance, as there is way more comments on up- coming UFC fights as there is any other because UFC is simply more exciting to ANY MMA fan even replayed.

Not to mention they have the best fighters in the world. *
