Great news. In fairness this card hasn’t turned out too bad, on paper three explosive fights. Just hope that Lidell doesn’t get any knocks to prevent the clash with Silva later in the year.
Nice new look to the site btw

The poster has Shogun vs Forrest Griffen? that must be fake right?

[quote comment="107065"]The poster has Shogun vs Forrest Griffen? that must be fake right?[/quote]

As I mentioned in the post, it COULD VERY WELL BE FAKE. But RUMORS began to surface yest. that Griffin has replaced Machida.

Hell yeah, can’t wait. Lets hope Liddell can come through and eventually avenge his (2) losses against Jackson.

maybe they should switch Shogun vs Chuck, Jardine vs Forrest 2..that be ok with me…but im probably one of the only people thinking Forrest has a chance at shogun…also it it just me or does the Chuck vs Jardine poster look like two bad ass construction workers going at it?

also, im sure thats not the actual poster it will be, Forrest looks young and like his mom just gave him that haircut..im sure it would be updated…but it looks cool like that showing all six guys

I sure hope its real. I don’t know why someone would take the time to create a ‘fake’ ufc poster.

If I was going to do so, I would have put nonsense matchups such as:

Shogun vs Weems
Chuck Liddell vs the 1 2 3 Kid
And the headliner = The battle of the Forrests
Griffin vs Gump.

It’s tough to believe that Forrest would get such a jump in competition after his fight with Hector Ramirez. I could see if Griffin was fighting a guy like Machida, but Shogun!? This poster seems to be fake, but I hope the three fights featured on the poster are true though because two of the three fights are solid. The Liddell vs. Jardine fight is decent, but I don’t consider it to be a sold fight because I think Liddell will knock Jardine out silly. Jardine was losing his fight with Forrest up until he clipped Forrest and evenutally got the TKO and we all know what happened to Jardine in his last fight. Hopefully the Griffin vs. Shogun fight is true.

I was pumped for this fight, and now they have ruined it. Shogun vs. Machida would have been awesome. They are definitely the two most technically sound fighters in that division.

The only good thing is that Griffin is definitely more high-profile than Machida, so everyone will see how good Shogun is after this.

Why do so many people feel the need to hate on Machida? HE IS UNDEFEATED. HE DESTROYED FRANKLIN. HE OWNED BONNAR.

I just wish the UFC would give him a worthy adversary so that everyone could see where he is at, in terms of skill level.

We Hope all the ultamate fighters (Griffin, Jardine, Sanchez) win

It’s a RUMOR. Shogun-Machida is perhaps still on.

If Diego loses again, they might have to put him on suicide watch. Poor guy can’t take a loss.

seems now that the mike swick fight is now off one less fight at least we know that if shogun vs forrest is a rumor and shogun winds up fighting machida at least we know forrest might still be fighting someone on the card

76 is gonna be awesome, a chuck/silva main event would have made it the best card ever, but there are still some great fights…sanchez/fitch is going to be a war, as a sanchez fan i’m really nervous for the possibility of 2 losses in a row and as a fitch fan i’m really excited that he has an opportunity to really prove himself against in my opinion a top 3 ww, still i’ll be cheering for diego though, but regardless of who wins this fight we all as mma fans are going to win because this one will be a fight of the year top 5 for sure…

i’d still rather see karo/fitch though…

LoL. That’s funny. Everyone knows Weems would walk right through Shogun.

Personally I’d love to see the Griffin vs Gump matchup. We all know Griffin can go 3 rounds but Gump is known for his conditioning as well. The man ran back and forth across the country how many times?

for sure and the fact that kos and fitch are training partners at AKA that doesn’t help eaither but all in all i hope fitch destroys dirty sanchez

He destroyed Penn? Just come right out and admit you didn’t watch that fight

Griffen’s gonna get KOed as long as Shogun fights to his potential and not like some of the PRIDE signings for the exception of RAmpage. If Shogun comes out as he should that fight should be over in the first round similar to Griffens loss against Jardine.

Liddell should eaily finish Jardine first round as soon as he makes a mistake. No later than 2nd round

Sanchez/Fitch will be fight of the night

I agree. I really don’t see Shogun or Chuck having too much trouble in their fights, but Sanchez/Fitch is a toss up between two very explosive guys. I’m just glad Fitch has such a high profile fight in front of him. He has been on the undercards for far too long

The main problem with Machida is his style just plain isn’t exciting to most people (myself included). The ufc knows how good he is, but they perhaps don’t want someone who could be as unpopular as Sylvia was as champ. His ufc 70 fight being removed from the US broadcast is proof of that.

Hence, it could be a disaster in their mind if he were to upset Shogun, something he has a much higher chance of doing that Forrest. That is why Shogun is fighting Forrest. He is a fighter who is well known, will make it exciting, and isn’t as much of a threat to Shogun. Machida isn’t well known, won’t make it exciting, and is a huge threat. It is just more logical from a business standpoint.

looks good

A healthy Sanchez will tool Fitch.

this card is starting to suck

Im glad Sanchez/Fitch are guranteed

Way of Subject but does anyone know where to purchase those UFC mini posters besides ebay

what a warm up.even ice need to be warm some times.

i doubt that Forrest will fight Rua in this ppv…the poster is a fake…

diego will destroy fitch….we saw a limited diego in his fight against kos, and kos didn’t do shit to him. diego will own this division (with gsp) and will one day hold the belt

jardine presents an interesting fight for lidell…there’s no way he’ll approach this fight like he did Houston Alexander…this could be closer than people think…people forget, jardine’s actually a good fighter who has been defeated only once since TUF (not including the bonnar fight – he was robbed in that one). he’s a multi-dimensional fighter…

lidell better be at his best, or he could very well drop a second straight fight

the 1 2 3 kid, wow, old school.

it’s rumored that razor ramon is fighting in this one.

I hope fitch takes sanchez. i don’t want to here an hour of praising jesus and all that afterwards.

I give this fight to diego. Unless he gets caught.

Fitch wins by whatever he wants. Fitch will be expecting Diego to be his old self and scramble like a rabid wildebeast. Fitch will counter. It will stay standing and Fitch will win.

I love Machida, but he didnt destroy Penn. He outstruck him and won a decision. They are definitley my two favorite fighters.

shoguns gettin forrest in a muahy thai clinch its over already

[quote comment="107187"]A healthy Sanchez will tool Fitch.[/quote]

Your opinion is based on what again!?!?

I think Fitch takes this one. It will be a great fight. Anyone who thinks Diego will roll over Fitch is clearly not very educated on the UFC WW division. Fitch beats Diego by KO in the 3rd. Then Fitch fights Karo sometime late this year. Then they place Serra to fight Fitch in Feb. after Serra is destroyed by Hughes. The Fitch Fights the loser of St. Pierre and Hughes mid year 2008….and FINALLY if he can pull that one off (which would be amazing) Fitch fights for the fucking WW title late next year!!

Hellzzz Yeaahhh!!! Maybe I am dreamin here, but it makes sense. Hughes and St. Pierre are my only concerns with this plan.

lidell better be at his best, or he could very well drop a second straight fight [/quote]You must me on something. No way Diego will own the weilterweight division. He’s a very good fighter but he has a very good chance of losing to Fitch and GSP or Hughes would throw him around like a rag doll. And if you think Jardine is a threat to Chuck you are crazy. Sure hes a decent fighter he beat a bunch of mediocre opponets since TUF but he’s not even in the same class as Chuck he will get KTFO in the first round.

i dont see how the fuck jardine gets a fight with chuck it doesnt make any fuckin sense and its fuckin bullshit

I think there is a good chance Fitch will roll up on Sanchez although both are high up on the hype machines. First real test for Fitch in the Gon and second time Diego gets a top notch fighter. We’ll really see where they stand after this one.

Oh ma goodness is Jardine’s jaw and temple region going to be sore after this one. And I don’t even think Chuck is really that good. Put him up against a crisp striker(not Jardine) and dude will be in serious trouble.

Okay smart guy, we’ll just have to wait for the fight(s). Do you think GSP will throw Diego around like he threw Serra? Dude, re-read what I wrote regarding Lidell/Jardine before you tell me I’m on something. GSP for a beatdown!

fake or not, does anyone know where i can find a bigger picture of this ufc 76 poster?

yea i kno he fought nick diaz karo florion riggs wtf are u talkin about u dont know shit why are u even here

Dang, I would have to put my money on Diego, but it’s tough, it’s gonna be realy good, which is a bummer cuz I like Fitch better. C’mon Fith, it’s do or die time, this is the shot you’be been waiting for. But this should make all the Fitch fans a little bit nervous.

Sorry you are so testy, had a brain fart and re-checked my shit. Beating Kenflo at a weight disadvantage, not that impressive. Same with Diaz. Riggs is garbage. A rematch with Karo and he would get his shit handed to him. Who has he finished that was good? And I’m here because I actually participate in the sport which probably can’t be said for you.

Diego is going to work over Fitch…..If any of you guys saw the last fight with Fitch, he was in major trouble in the first round. Diego will catch Fitch in the 2nd round with a “Dirty SAnchez” submission. I say the Karo Vs Diego 2 is the fight to see.

He may not be the best but he for damn sure is good.

and what the hell is a crisp striker sounds like a potato chip. Nah id like to see him go up against a crunchy striker than he would really be in trouble. JK i know what ya mean lol.

Jardine by TKO due to a devasting leg kick…….hey itd be funny

Fitch was caught in a submission and escaped. He did the same thing against Hironaka (triangle). I’m not saying this is a good thing, but to be tested like that and still come through and win the fights in a dominating fashion only makes him a stronger fighter! In MMA, everyone’s going to get caught in a bad situation….it’s how you handle it that matters. Fitch ends it in the 2nd!

Jardine goes for a body shot, fist gets stuck in Chuck’s belly, and Chuck TKO’s him standing.

That’s just too funny bro

I think they should’ve put Houston Alexander against Chuck, but I guess they wouldn’t want to risk chuck after a loss. I think Diego is going to comeback the killer that he really is, the one that doesn’t get KO’d or submitted. Fitch is a good fighter, he is just not explosive as Diego is. I say diego finishes Fitch 3rd round ground and pound

I think Fitch will take this fight just because he’s a better striker than Diego and is equally talented in wrestling. One other advantage Fitch has over Diego is KOS being his trining partner. I’m pretty sure those two will be sharing fight secrets. No matter who wins……..THIS IS GONNA BE A SWEET FIGHT

chuck wins big time .. diego’s fight will be a good fight can’t wait to see it but i think diego will win and seera gets beat by hughes , and hughes pulls off a win over RUSH that sucks but i think he’ll win the second go around and finally diego get a shot mid to late 2008 at his crown he deserves i dont understand why he has not got a shot yet anderson got one after one fight in the ufc jackson same way what the f**K diego is long over due for his shot and i’m surprised he hasn’t went to another comp. and toke over it like he has done so far in the ufc diego you are the man soon enough you’ll get yours

I thought I was the only one not to be impressed with Sanchez’s first few wins.

Mismatch in size with Kenflo; Diaz did most damage with upkicks while Sanchez punched the ground and won on take down points; The Riggs KO was a fluke; …but he did dominate Gassaway.

I was impressed with the third round in the win over Karo.
