Akiyama, 1 and 2 record since joining the ufc, but 3 fight of the night awards.

The 3rd round summed it up. After Akiyama got to his feet after the low blow, he just let Bisping punch him in the face as much as Bisping wanted to but dear god, my 4 year old daughter can punch harder.

If you have no ground game (which no british fighter has and rules you out of ever winning a title) you have to, at the very least have a punch so you have the very minuscule chance of knocking out someone decent.

I said from day one that Lesnar was completely and utterly over rated yet the know it alls on here declared he was the real deal. The fight against Carwin should have been stopped, no doubt about it and then last night he gets demolished.

Looks like you was bob on.

No it wasnt a poor card. Bisping V Akiyama and Condit Vs Hardy were two good matchups.

Saying things like that proves you're not a fight fan.

i said that as well, the exact same thing happened, he got put on his and for nearly 30 plus seconds straight carwin whaled on him and he just cowered and covered up.

Last nights fight should never have happened.


Oh, and a poor debut for jake shields, Kampmann should've won that.

Time to bring this thread back to life.

Silva vs Belfort at the weekend, Silva looked beatable last time out when Sonnen dominated him for four and a half rounds before getting caught in a sub. Belfort's a dangerous fighter, but think Silva will have upped his game in training and will knock him out.

Griffin vs Franklin, loser gets a tattoo of whatever the winner decides apparently. Forrest needs a win, but it will be tough against Rich. I'll go for Franklin on points.

Fight Of The Night, Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader. Bader has been impressive since winning TUF 8, beating Jardine and Little Nog of late. This is his toughest test though against the biggest up and coming fighter in the UFC today. Jones has destroyed everyone put in front of him, and took apart Matyushenko last time out in the 1st round. This is his biggest fight yet and the winner could catapult into the title picture. Its a tough one to call as Bader is no pushover and despite the majority going for Jones, Im going for Bader on points... just !!

Tough fight for Paul Kelly against Donald Cerrone, a decent produce from the WEC. I hope Kelly can do it though, but again its going to be a battle.

Griffin/Franklin is a toss up agreed, Could see Franklin landing though and sending Forrest in a wobble again. Jones Bader I think Bader will be his toughest test but he should come through maybe a UD. Oh and if anyone watches Strikeforce Fedor is 11/8 to win the GP, other than overeem shouldnt really be a challenge.
All depends how belfort is mentally, could be a shock but agreed can see Anderson stoppin a tired belfort in the latter rounds.

Ive never been Fedors biggest fan and I think Overeem would kill him to be honest. I know Todd Duffee wasnt a top 10 fighter or anything but he murdered him in 20 seconds in his last fight. And he wasnt the only one to feel the force of The Demolition Man either.

Todd Duffee was getting hyped like mad before the ufc cut him (I think)
But yeah either between overeem or fedor, heres a plan if youve got a million quid, Back em both

best weigh in and stare downs EVER

oh
my
ing
god

BOOM!!!!!

Awesome front kick. Came from nowhere.

Bad night for The Emperor. Big Foot handed him a beating, and he has hinted it may have been his last fight too. Such a shame, but maybe Dana White was right all along that he was never the No1 heavyweight in the world.

What the Hell do i know



What you reckon on shogun vs Jones (March 19th I think) Shogun is the Underdog odds wise

Whatever I say go opposite hence the username

Jones is talented and may well beat Shogun, but on a sheer value perspective, you have to take the odds against on the champ ? I think his leg kicks could prove decisive as Jones long matchstick legs might not be able to withstand it all. But either way it should be a cracking close fight.

I will be lumping on GSP though when he meets Silva. Sonnen proved a dominate wrestler could cause Silva problems, and GSP is probably the best around in that area.

wouldn't hold your breath on that, they've already pencilled in the winner of penn fitch for a title shot.

added to that gsp doesn't seem all that clued up on it, the only thing i've seen him comment on it with is asking if silva is coming down to 170 to fight.

The thing with Silva is he finds a way to win no matter what style hes up against...

Showed his submission game against quality wrestlers like sonnen and Hendo..

Ju jitsu guys have to be picked apart for 5 rounds because they cant get him anywere near the ground (maia,lates etc)

And as for standup strikers...well stand up if you dare!!! (leben,griffin,belfort.franklin)

My cash would be on Silva all the way!!!

jorge rivera apologies to bisping for talking trash www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNUJTFjT ... r_embedded mods this is something his fight camp have put on youtube so its not ripping anything off.

This is a sport for drunken bouncers who aren't good enough to be proper martial artists or as rich, famour and powerful as boxers. All of you people should grow up.

Are you from New york?


You are clearly uneducated on the sport, as arguably MMA needs a broader skillset than boxing. TBH in regards to the british MMA scene maybe some still see it as 'drunken bouncers', however Britain is producing some fine Fighters who trust me mate will be earning a bit more than you and me.

Ignoring our Lord...
I'm tempted that with the trash Rivera (sp) has been talking Bisping could finish him too and early, aswell as Rivera being overated imo.

As for Fitch vs penn, fitch is odds on for a decision but depends again on which BJ appears and if he can keep up with fitch over 3.

Take G-Sot for a win too, that guy is far too underated.

Ha ha what a rinhart you are.....Yeah boxing is definately better then mma.....infact id pay for ringside seats to watch james toney attempt to throw a punch like a drunken bouncer again only to have his fat ass dumped on the canvas and humiliated for under 5 minutes...What an athlete....
