I know this is off topic but i figured it would get seen quicker if i left it on a newer post. How come there was almost nothing said about anderson silva’s end fight elbows? the rules state there is no downward striking with the point of an elbow, let alone to the top of the skull, yet almost nothing was said. i think i heard rogan say that because he was down it was ok but rogan has said some pretty stupid things before. was just wondering

Im Actually more excited for a Arlovski-Mirko showdown than a Silvya vs. Mirko fight

didnt mcdonald do the same thing to herman? or did he do it with his fists?

im excited to see silvia get his ass kicked. but andre/mirko is gonna be sooooooo fun to watch.

You know there was a time when I could swear UFC could read my mind. I would say to a buddy “you know what fight Id like to see”, and low and behold they would announce that fight. But what has been up lately? Why cant we see Cro cop and Arlovski this soon. Now that mma is so mainstream there are going to be tons of new great up and comers, why not give the fans what they want asap? Dont think about how many fights left in a contract, just give the fans what they want and success will fallow

yeah ufcmaniac i know what you mean. light heavy and lightweiht are still kinda like that, but heavyweight is kinda skimpy. lets see 4 big names, plus a randy couture. Sylvias fighting couture soon, cro cop and Arlvosky are on the same card…wheres Vera…have him fight Arlovsky or Cro cop, if hes being such a prick about his contract, throw him to the wolves for his last fight..im kinda sick of the hype, i want to see if hes actually worth a damn

I say regardless of who wins Coture/Sylvia the matchup’s chould go like this after UFC 69 and 70…….Cro-Cop get’s Sylvia next no matter who wins his Coture fight. Orlovski gets Coture next whether he’s champ or not. Then winner’s face off, Randy could upset Orvlovski although i dont see it happening but even if he did then he’d have instant cred in the heavyweight division. After those fight’s i think itd set up perfect for an Orvlovski-Cro-Cop showdown in late 07′ which would be his 4th fight. That give’s us 2 final fights with the Croatian Sensation, and in my dream world his last “retirement” fight would be in Pride vs UFC New Years Eve vs Fedor…….Id pay 50 $ for that pay-per view.

What a surprise, you bring together a diverse group of people representing different nations and they end up fighting…isn’t that just like the world today.

Arlovski Vs Cro Cop….man, this has got to happen sometime. I just have a feeling it won’t go to the judges. But first and foremost, I like to see Cro Cop kicks the living hell out of the main-lobster sylvia. I think it may happens since Cop won’t have to reach in like Arlovski to get to him.
Crying Vera is good but a contract’s a contract. I like to see him fighting the top contenders before I put him in the same class. Good post D Sunshine!

Never thought of AA vs York. Would rather see AA vs Hardonk. I hope Joe Silva realizes that just because you throw big names on the headlines it will make a great event. Fans will not be happy if it is not a competitive fight, see the last PPV event.

I would love to see Vera fight either cro cop or Arlovski just to see if he really has it in him to drop to 205 and go after the ice man after taking the title from who ever might have it at the time in heavyweight.I dont think Catour has it in him to take it from Silvia,good to see him back though.

Iam glad to see arlovskis fighting at UFC 70. we all know Arlovski or cro cop will have the belt befor they fight each other. everybody would want to see them fighting for the title. it would be the best heveyweight title fight we saw in some time. Id say Arlovski would win but only time will tell.

Arlovski vs Cro cop would be the best fight ever! Title or no title, I think that they are the best two heavyweights in the UFC regardless that Tim holds the belt.

Amen paul…..

have you lot seen the smack that this guy ‘Big Jim York’ has been chatting?! he rekons he’s gonna upset the pitbull in the first round by using his weight advantage – haha in heavyweight – all guys are tuff enough to carry any mans weight – i think the new zealanders gonna be down n out in the first without even knowing what hit him.
Arlovski v Mirko – will b the one !!

i am the biggest fan of pitbull,but i don’t think that Arlovski can win cro cop

The winner of the Couture –Sylvia fight will have to fight Cro Cop. Dana wants Cro cop to have the belt WITH AT LEAST 4 fights left on his deal. Remember that Cro Cop signed a SIX fight deal only. So Dana figures the big $$$ will be made when Cro cop becomes the UFC champion. THat should be in his THIRD fight. Dana knows that will leave Cro cop 3 fights to defend his world championship. First in line will be Arlovski. Next two fights will be a rematch with the couture/sylvia winner (remember that this winner, march 3, will be in his SECOND fight with Cro cop as a re-match). That will leave one FINAL fight left on his UFC six fight contract. Dana, will have to ink him to another 2-3 year deal then. Believe me, Dana is thinking big $$$ and WANTS cro-cop to hold the crown. Cro Cop is his “prized-jewel.” Unless he can ink Fedor…Then Fedor versus Cro cop would be the biggest fight on the planet…Ane the UFC put it together…

…i hate Tim Sylvia…sorry just had to throw that in there. Andre/Mirco will happen and the world will never be the same!!! i cant wait!!!

sylvia is the man he beat pitbull twice and he’ll do the same to cro crap he’s holding that belt for a while Randy stands no chance im sorry had to throw that in there

Ok fine, he beat arlovski times two, and it’s true randy has a better chance of becoming a victory secrets model…but Tim has zero chance against Cro Cop, if you knew your MMA you would know this. As it was written so it shall be done.

For some reason sylvia wins hes not an electrifing fighter but he reminds me of lennox lewis for the fact he is just big tall and long reach so it will be easy to defend the belt in a stand up fight we saw that with arlovski

Its a shame we didnt get to see Arlovski fighting like a pitbull in his 3rd fight with Sylvia (because of his unreported injured leg) but he was still standing at the end of the fight – Sylvia has good strategy, if you have that your already winning. – I just hope Arlovski absolutely goes nuts from now on – especially against Sylvia and Crocop

keep hopeing it’s not gunna happen

Just got my ticket for UFC 70, Ringside, Get in. Here’s hoping Liddell is there.

UFC rules!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for Manchester!!!! Whoooo!

i already have 2 pre sale ring side tickets at the men. cant wait. £613 for the pair.

It’s because he didn’t come straight down with the elbows, he kind of came at an angle. Which I think is dumb because it’s still the point of the elbow but whatever.

you guys have tickets to ufc 70? do you know whos gonna be there? is it posted for sure ?

Its looking like Ortiz v Griffin, Cro Cop, Bisping are short listed for UFC 70. I am pretty sure that Dana will want to parade the top fighters in a bid to promote the UFC here in the UK. So even if Liddell, Sylvia, Couture and Co arn’t fighting I am sure they will be there, so if you have ringside seats you will probably be very close to your UFC heros.

Can’t wait till April what a line up, Arlovsky v Werdum will be the one to watch. My money’s on Andrei Arlovsky!

Uhh maam it’s Andrei Arlovski.

Yup, dis UFC 70 iz gonna be da BOMB! Dang the bouts that they have lined up r cherry 2 da max. OH, and as 4 da Heavyweight match, my dibs r definetly on ANDREI “THE PITBULL” ARLOVSKI. His ground and stand up skills r sharp and i don’t c anyone getting in his way. A lot of peeps doubted him after his lost against Tim Silvia but dat just made him stronger. As a true fan i know he’ll win dis bout. Wat can i say Andrei’s hungry 4 victory and dats exactly wat hes gonna get on April 21. GOOD LUCK CHAMP!

Info needed and members to discuss mma in our new forum.

Auright! dis UFC 70 going b da BOMB!

I have UFC 70 tickets can’t wait. I’m looking forward to the Michael Bisping fight. He’s going to be the next big light heavyweight. Already getting respect from Randy C, he’s gonna own in Manchester! I know its not the biggest fight on the card but it looks like a real good one nonetheless.

Still can’t believe GSP lost

I wish good luck to AA BECAUSE I want to see CC VS AA belt fight.

Arlovski boring 2nd and 3rd round again no championship calibur, Cant beleive Mirko got his his ass beat by a chubby twirp named Gonzaga embarrassing I think he needs to start training in a cage it seemed like he just couldnt hang against Gonzaga, hes fought dudes a 100 times better and never got beat
