I don't know what the need for numbers is

Well, it is better than them having to come up with some lame name for every event.
Clash of the Titans, Killer vs Killer, Champ vs Champ, etc get to be a little ridiculous and repetitive sometimes.

Thiago by vicious KO again
Liked Vera back in the day, but he seems to have lost it.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
I don't mean to be a dick
by Vera lost by decision. Not KO.
But if you meant Silva will win by KO, again, like he’s used to doing. Then I retract.
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Nope, no offense taken.
I was just flat wrong, for some reason I was thinking Vera got put to sleep by Thiago. Maybe I was thinking of the Bones fight. Noted.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
cards like this will only puill 4 million viewers. If the UFC wants to attract viewers, they need t o whip out the big guns!!!
love this fight, but neiher fighter should main event a fox card!
i mean 1st fox was Heavyweight title!
2nd fox was a former LHW champion, TUF coach/contestant and Chael the best mouth in mma as the co main event and the polarizing bisping
3rd fox is headlined by Jim Miller and lil Diaz? Nah sorry, i find something fucked up with this!
^Fully agree with this
They need more star power at the top of this card. I don’t complain about free cards but for the FOX spots I was expecting a better line up than this. These should be good fights but I was hoping they’d use these shows to pull in the masses and you do that with big name fighters. Doesn’t have to be stacked but cherry pick a big fight/name for the headliner at least.
"I'm from the Fox News school of media discourse," explained White. "If you tell people your version of the truth enough times, and yell while you do it, eventually they start to believe it. Remember when I saved MMA?"
i agree and see what ya'll are saying
But most if not all if these cats on this card are coming up in the world, title contentions, future champions and what not. cashual fans dont give a fuu who is fighting. I mean, would they even recognize ‘star’ fighters if they are only cashual fans anyways?
by huckabuck878 on May 5, 2012 1:17 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
so yeah, most of the fighters on this card are stars in the making : /
by huckabuck878 on May 5, 2012 1:19 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
This card may lack the big names or star power
But often times these are the events that produce the best fights.Sometimes when fighters are hungry and looking for there place on the roster they put it all on the line in the cage.

I like Nate, but I could see this going alot like the Rory Mac fight.
Maybe Nate will be able to pull of a slick submission though.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
it wouldn't happen that way
Miller doesn’t have that kind of strength so he won’t ragdoll Nate.
Standing, I give it to Diaz by a wide margin. On the ground, Miller is the black belt, Nate is the high level Brown belt. So I got with Miller but not by a lot.
Should be a good fight
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I posted that back in Feb, he just got it like 2 weeks ago
:P
Kazushi Sakuraba would submit GSP in his prime.
I support Mark Hunt fighting for the title.
Ye cause Jim is like 6"1 190lbs
Different fight…it’s not going to look anything like Nate’s fight with Rory…you take that back!
by Starr788 on Feb 2, 2012 10:48 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
nah, he's not that big but dude's only losses are to Bendo, Gray and Frankie.
Plus, he’s never been stopped. Now I admit Nate looked good, real good, against Cerrone but I dont know if he can stand the strength of Miller.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
sarcastic remark man lol
I think it depends on where the fight takes place. Nate really has all the advantages expect his belt level in this fight.
Better stand up, long limbs on the ground which help with getting chokes.
I’m not sure who to pick yet…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I'd actually like to see nate win, but my gut says miller.
Now the Condit Diaz fight is a really tough one for me. I’d like to see Condit win, but on the other hand I really want to see the Diaz/GSP match.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
I have Diaz winning right now
NIck that is… not sure about the Miller/Nate match up yet…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I don't think anyone is unbeatable
But Diaz’s worst fights are against wrestlers, some thing GSP is known for. Stand up? Diaz has his boxing which is great. GSP has developing boxing and tremendous kyokushin karate(which he doesn’t use anymore), stand up is about even.
GSP has very good submission defense now. Diaz would probably spend a lot of the fight on his back, but there’s a chance at a submission for him.
GSP wouldn’t finish Diaz.
Stand up battle? I would actually take Diaz I think. A whole fight, I’d go with GSP by decision.
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I thought ferguson/hallman was at 155 pounds?
by MMA Boss on Feb 2, 2012 10:45 AM EST via mobile reply actions
probably is
I was wondering that too, if it is at 170 then the staff probably knows something we don’t.
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
sick card!
at least for a free one, all fights so far are bound to be exciting
pride never die.
i disagree! I already started planning a trip to this event, but when i heard that the diaz vs. Jim Miller fight was the main event, i canceled!
good fight….but not main event worthy for me to pay and go see live!
especially when you pair it up with Barry and Lavar. I mean fun fights.,,,,,but not worth spending that type of money to go ssee
Much Better Card For Fox
Winners: Miller, Barry, Dodson, and T-Ferg.

Interesting
Fox 2 was all wrestling and that didn’t turn out too well, now fox 3 is all strikers. Well it can’t be worse than fox 2.

2 week sig beat goldmouth/evans nightmare/davis
My current picks, who do you have?
Kazushi Sakuraba would submit GSP in his prime.
I support Mark Hunt fighting for the title.
good picks
except im going with Johnson over Barry
"I was throwing with nothing but bad intentions. I was trying to put flying knees on his chin, trying to hit him with spinning back elbows. I was trying to finish the fight."
-Carlos Condit
Sigbet with Wisetoad:Condit over GSP (whenever it happens)
*My first sigbet on mania!*
by AJthrowinjabs on Apr 30, 2012 12:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Watch his hand speed and movement
he’s slow, but hits really hard.
Barry’s speed, movement, and overall better striking are gonna lead to Johnson looking crazy slow.
He’s not gonna have Barry pressed against the cage eating shots like Beltran
Kazushi Sakuraba would submit GSP in his prime.
I support Mark Hunt fighting for the title.
true, you make good points
im just hoping johnsons chin holds up and he lands those power shots, if that happens he can easily beat Barry.
"I was throwing with nothing but bad intentions. I was trying to put flying knees on his chin, trying to hit him with spinning back elbows. I was trying to finish the fight."
-Carlos Condit
Sig Bets:
Hendricks over Koscheck(UFC on Fox3) with Wisetoad
Johnson over Barry (UFC on Fox 3) with OilCheck
Condit over GSP (whenever it happens) with Wisetoad
