I’m 43 just like RC so I’m posting my picks:

Chuck Liddell Vs. Quinton Jackson - Liddell (T)KO
Terry Martin Vs. Ivan Salaverry - Salaverry Sub.
Josh Burkman Vs. Karo Parisyan - Burkman Dec.
Houston Alexander Vs. Keith Jardine - Jardine (T)KO
Kalib Starnes Vs. Chris Leben - Leben (T)KO

On the “may not be broadcast card”, I’d be mostly guessing.

I hope to be 5-0 on Sunday morning.

My picks.

Quinton Wins by TKO
Salaverry by Sub
Josh vs Karo..I think Josh will pull it off, just dont c how
Jardine by TKO
Kalib by sub

Kalib by sub eh? Man, that would mess up Leben’s plans. The Silva loss and even the loss to McDonald are not huge problems. Those guys are at and near the top. This is probably just supposed to be a confidence builder for Lebeen and a GTFO for Starnes. The TUF fighters have to be shown the door at some point.

Head Leben, heart neither
Stephens by (T)KO too bad your not gonna see him. Fitch and Marquardt all over again
Silva v Irvin. FUUUUCK this match should be televised. Silva of course.
Marrero by sub
Hate to do it, Salmon by Jumping Butterfly Punch.

im goin with mammas boy on every pick….to add some

james irvin over silva, KO? (seems more athletic of the two in a slugfest)

Wilson Gouvie, Ko

Thomas, however he wants

Salmon, boring gnp decision

ALSO watch for Chuck to work the body against Rampage

Why are you guys against Chuck, he will not lose.

Rampage will give Chuck no space to operate..Rampage is a super beast..don’t get me wrong Chuck is a warrior, but my heart and head tell me Chuck will get powerslamed a few times, he’ll get up maybe twice, but there’s that last slam where Chuck will not get up from and Rampage is on top..overall it will not be a good night for the iceman when he meets the icebreaker.

Yes he will. Rampage is going to make Chuck look bad. Styles make fights and Chuck’s style does match up well against Jackson.

Don’t speak too soon. Rampage is not Tito, Babalu etc. and can definitely take a hit and is not scared to take a huge hit. Iceman’s fans are going to have to come to realization someday and know that the Iceman can be beat.

Rampage - TKO GNP
Salaverry - Sub

What, did you read the interview over on JunkTruck and thing you know something about the guy now? Explain your prediction if you please.

Interesting little article about Hackleman on Liddell here:
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=3990&zoneid=13
Whenever he hear lately a fighter is “on his game” he seems to lose. We shall see.

I hope Chuck wins, but I’m starting to lose confidence…

Did anyone else notice that Spike TV was really promoting Rampage in lastnights UFC 71 Countdown, and then again on UFC All Access? I won’t be surprised if Chcuk is the underdog going into this fight (in terms of betting).

when is the last time Jardine even through a high kick??

look guys st. amour is right Chuck will not lose he is better and stronger i mean why is everyone so pumped about Rampage he was average in PRIDE (never held the belt) beat Chuck years ago, KO’d by Wandy twice, and beat an old man in Round2 in his UFC debut Chuck will not and cannot lose to an average opponent in the octagon. IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!

Chuck only lost 3 times in his MMA career.He Knock Them all out no gay submision, ALL out power. Sorry Rampage u will not howl after the fight is over. U will see chuck Goin AHHHHHHHHHH once again.

I agree LongIslandGuy. Kalib is going to pull of the submission. He’s a good fighter. He lost to Okami, but Okami is a beast. That’s a loss most middleweights would have if they fought Okami. Leben’s losing streak continues. Good pick LongIslandGuy.

right on amour

Dag, almost Xact opposites. We both took Jardine so he’ll probably lose. If we split the others we’d be tied with a sucky 2-3. BUT, since I’m gonna be 5-0, that puts you at a very sad 1-4. Hope you don’t have any retirement money in there.

Well, you will just look that much smarter that you didn’t follow the herd over the cliff when Chuck drinks his end of fight Xience out of Rampage’s fractured skull.

I’m suprised so many are taking Starnes over Leben

I just went in to the future with the Sports Almanac that Biff got from Back to the Future…Rampage pulls out the day before on Thursday with a broken right wrist…I guess he also got bachelor’s elbow to go along with it…Cheers!!!

Damn, that’s good, sounds like something I’d say.

UFC 71 Winners:
-Liddell
-Salaverry (apparently he’s a Canadian boy - so l’ll pick him)
-Jardine (a future contender for the belt)
-Parishyan (this is the toughest fight to call, I see Parishyan and his ego holding the belt one day)
-Leben (Leben rocks!!! Though Starnes is a Canadian, he’s got a shit attitude and little wotk ethic, as seen on TUF. Some of you will say Leben’s an idiot, but I find him funny and hope he knocks Starnes out)

I guess it got deleted since I dont see that post. Pretty funny stuff. That is the type of stuff I just leave alone or write T-R-O-L-L-I-N-G and Mania comes a deletes it.
All we ( the usual crew and others ) ask new ppl is for you to explain your thoughts. No one, and I mean no one of importance here, will rip you to shreds if you just explain what you post. We ALWAYS disagree here, what fun would it be if we didnt, but it is usually respectful and painless. So dont be afraid to put your 2 cents in with some commentary. Just keep the trolling over at the Dog and the Junkyard.

If this guy has seen Houston fight, great. I havent and know literally nothing about him. If he could clue us in to his game, his strengths and weaknesses, etc that would be a big help for all. But your boy is getting thrown in with a lion, I hope he has a whip and a chair.

Yes, you are right about it being years ago, BUT both of them have changed in 3 1/2 years and both are better fighters. Chuck is not stronger than Rampage guaranteed! Rampage was KO’d by Wandy via kness (multiple knees) at that and not by the hands of Wandy. That goes to show you what kind of animal Rampage is. Not to take anything away from Chuck, but if the fight goes to the ground then Chuck is in BIG trouble. What happened when Coture took Chuck to the ground? Chuck was in big trouble and Rampage has the strength to get him there.

Rampage by TKO

ALL this comments are making me pump i cannot wait to go to Buffulo wild wings with my boy Chuckland on Saturday night. Chuck vs. Rampage. I feel like shootin some popo. Just playin

[quote post=”2176″]Ramp by powerbomb early 3[/quote]

lmao, id pay to hear buffer annouce it just like that

i agree if the fight goes to the ground then rampage will win but Chuck will not allow that. Cant wait either St. Amour four more days!!!

Hey everyone, this is my first message on here. I will give my picks with an explanation.

Chris Leben vs Kalib Starnes
Winner: Leben
Reason: Leben is a tough son of a gun. Starnes has all the potential in the world but he has NO heart. He has not fought any really big names succeffully and basically gave up in the fight with Grove. It should be competitive at first until the going gets tough. This is when Starnes will fall aparts.

Ivan Salaverry vs Terry Martin
Winner: Salaverry
Reason: Salaverry is very technical. He is not the most exciting fighter but he is good. He went 3 rounds with Nate Marquart and has submitted Joe Riggs. Terry Martin has not been tested and has only fought on the undercard if I am correct. Salaverry is too experienced and too much of a veteran to lose to Martin.

Houston Alexander Vs Keith Jardine
Winner: Jardine
Reason: I have never seen Alexander fight. This is his first fight on the big stage and past records show that debuts against tough fighters are not that great. Also Jardine has a great camp with plenty of resources. I expect Jardine to be just to much for the newcomer.

Josh Burkman Vs Karo Parisyan
Winner:???
Reason: This fight could steal the show!! I am really looking forward to this fight. Karo is very tough and always puts on a good fight. Josh Burkman is fan favorite that likes to slam peole like Hughes. The only concern I have is that Karo’s cardio hasn’t been the best. It has been good, don’t get me wrong. I hope he doesn’t look like he did against Diego when he gassed in the third round. All and all this is a close fight where I can not pick. But if I had to I would sheepishly say Karo…

Main Even- Chuck Liddel vs Quinton Jackson
Winner: Liddell
Reason: I know the Hall of Famer Randy Couture picked Rampage to win. I am not convinced. Rampaged last fights were against a couple of people that many never heard of and won a split decision to Matt Linland who is a weight class below Rampage (I thought Lindland won the fight), followed with his debut in the UFC with a shaky win over Eastman. On the other hand Chuck has beat Tito twice, Randy twice, Babalu, and Jeremy Horn. My pick goes with Liddell.

[quote comment=”61689″][quote comment=”61580″][quote comment=”61534″]Why are you guys against Chuck, he will not lose.[/quote]

MORETHANUFC, quit makeing yourself look like joke, and no one is against chuck, alot of people just think that this FULL SPEED AHEAD Rampage is going to overpower him. This is my prediction, chuck wins by TKO by 2nd or 3rd round. I think Chuck is more motivated to keep his title than rampage is to take it. OK, so have at me for makeing that statement.

Who the F are you talking to dude? I didnt say a thing about Chuck you jackazz. I asked for some explaination of the guy’s bold statement to bet on a 34 or 36 year old fighter who picked up MMA like 3 years ago against a Greg Jackson trained lion. Are you new to blogging? Did you notice the NUMEROUS quotes above my post?

Anyway, came here to pop up some UFC fighter predictions I found on the web. Serra, Poopie, and Forrest “Stapho” Griffin are picking Nyquil and only RC is picking QRJ.

Well, since no one who is picking Houston can tell us anything about the guy, I had to do my own raw research.

Sherdog has almost nothing on FF so I REALLY had to research this one with nowhere to start.

He is aggressive, a fairly good wrestler, better on his feet, and could win this one, if Keith Jardine slits his own throat trimming his goatee. I have no idea why they are letting this guy fight in a cage in the UFC. None. The talent level he has faced compared to what Jardine has faced are night and day. HA has been fighting guys who two weeks ago were fighting behind their high school.
To his credit, he has fought in an MMA tourney before, but I have not been able to find out why he has so many gaps in his career. He is older for a “new” guy in MMA, and looks like he has some skills and may one day be good ( if he were a little younger ).
He hits hard, so he has a puncher’s chance, but I’m pretty sure this one is gonna be over quick. I see flashes of Crocop/Sanchez.

1. Chuck Liddell
2. Ivan Salaverry
3. Josh Burkman
4. Keith Jardine
5. Chris Leben

I think Liddell will have his hands full. I think rampage will get a few take-downs in. But in the end, Liddell will come out on top.

MoreThanUfc, I am a dumb ass, sorry. Chuck will still win.

[quote comment=”63696″]MoreThanUfc, I am a dumb ass, sorry. Chuck will still win.[/quote]
No problem. Peace. MTU.

yeah i actually just saw a youtube video of huston alexander…small shitty show, bad camera….bye the way he looks horrible, and looks like he should be fighting welterweight…anyways the guy took him down, got him in the full mount, but they went under the ropes, so the ref tried to restart them in the middle in the full mount position, and huston would not go back down, the ref repeatedly told him that was the rule, and he didnt do it, too scared, fight over…no heart…..Jardine 1st round, something extremely viscious…the dude has no place in the UFC, this particular fight is a joke for someone who is a contender

1-Chuck will rock Rampages world!
2-Ivan Salaverry will submit Martin and its great to see him back in the UFC!
3-Josh Burkman by decision hess got Heart!!
4-Keith Jardine he is talented ask Forrest!
5-Chris Leben he has to hard of a head for Kalib to hurt!

ENJOY THE FIGHTS EVERYONE!!!!

You sound like you think this is going to be like the first fight. Don’t tell me you didn’t notice than Randy (king of takedowns) can not take Chuck down and pound him out like he did in the first fight. Haven’t you noticed that nobody can take Chuck down anymore ( he fixed that big weakness that attributed to all his losses). He hasn’t lost since he hasn’t went to the ground. Rampage is awesome and I’m not a big CL fan, but I give credit where it’s due . Chuck will KO Rampage simple as that.

MTUFC, you are the Shit. I completly missed this article, and I am glad to finally post in it. There is some strait up man love here “Just kidding.”

As for Picks, I hate picking lately due to the completely crazy underdogs recently but I have to aggree with every fight that Nathan stated, except for the Liddel Fight.

He took the word out of my moth on most of these fights, and I was glad because now I do not have to post as much.

I feel Rampage will take this one. I think Rampage is hungry, and I think if he fights the same way he did the first time then he will win.

Here is my original post on it.

[quote comment=”60398″]I would like to see the fight play out in some of the same ways it did the first time.

I really think that Rampage will have a little harder time this go around, but in the end will be victorious. I think that some view QRJ as very confident, but I think that he will be going into this fight with less confidence then the first. He knows that Liddell has been going around avenging his losses, and that he has been doing it with good success.

I think that they will both come out strong, with QRJ trying to throw some over hand punches and while doing so he will be taking some good stiff Jabs from Liddell. Once Rampage gets woke up a little (if not knocked out )I think he will look for the take down! To QRJ surprise Liddell will show him how much easier it is to get back up in the cage. After a couple of Attempts at keeping him on the ground, I think QRJ will slam him into the center of the ring, and ground and pound Liddell for the Ref stoppage.
This would be my Ideal fight!

I cant wait to see the outcome, and in the end I will cover my ass once again by stating “The reason we love MMA is due to the Surprises.”

Sorry so long!

Oh I also wanted to say I am not too positive on the Leban fight. If I had to I would go with Leban, but I want to say Starnes.

Chuck first round KO if it goes past the first i lean more to rampage.
Ivan over Martin by Sub.
Im gonna say Karo over Josh B by Sub.
Jardine over Houston cuz i dont know who houston is.
Leben over starnes cuz he’s just a better fighter.
Them are my guesses oh and go chuck!!!

Thanks for the comment Chris V. It is kinda weird. My head says Chuck. My heart says Chuck. BUT! My gut instinct is telling me Rampage. It should be one hell of a fight. I noticed with Randy in fight 2 and three Chuck had a tendency to get popped up the middle. This is going to be interesting.

Liddell-KO R5
Martin-UD

Kalib by sub[/quote]
Kalib by sub eh? Man, that would mess up Leben’s plans. The Silva loss and even the loss to McDonald are not huge problems. Those guys are at and near the top. This is probably just supposed to be a confidence builder for Lebeen and a GTFO for Starnes. The TUF fighters have to be shown the door at some point.[/quote]

Huh? Since when was JMac near the top? Kalib dominated Jmac and Leben got choked out. I know mmamath doesnt work, but c’mon Kalib’s only loss was to Okami, who is easily a top 5 middleweight in the UFC. Lebens only chance is one of those wild punches ala Santiago.

YES!

I sense that people are increasingly going in Jackson’s direction in the main event. I think it’s great for UFC that it’s likely to be a competitive fight.

Hey, who won the liddell/jackson fight?

I wrote the post saying HA couldnt win. Then I started hedging, telling you all this gu has great power and that it may be ver exciting. Then I said, if I still wagered, I’d put 50 on HA. What did I tell ya? Incredible. Jardine looked overwhelmed by a guy who has never fought on this level before. Woohoo. Incredible. What a night!

Good call. Way yo go Terry.

Man. We got CRUSHED tonight. Learned a big lesson. Excuse the appearance … just temporary until we fix a few things that hurt is tonite.
