Ohhhh The UFC Withdrawls !
Am I the only one who would MUCH rather see Guida/Aurelio or even Babalu/Heath than watch Huerta fight another UFC newbie??
I guess making the cover of SI will guarantee you a spot on the televised card, even if you’re fighting a ten-year-old kid with a broken arm.
ummm am I on my own with this one or does anyone else notice that a reminder on coverage and blow by blow commentary is just a wee bit premature?? THE PAY PERVIEWS CLOSE TO A MONTH AWAY STILL!! Maybe we should get some more Randy Couture game plans and interviews where they ask him the same questions about how he beat Tim Sylvia and his game plan for Gonzaga. Or better yet more Gonzaga training montages with follow up questions about his crop cop knockout and game plans for Randy!! OHHH BABY THINGS ARE HEATING UP NOW! ANyone have any vid’s of serra doing plyometric training for his fight in December it’s right around the corner. Sorry guys just frustrated I need my monthly doasge of mma.
huerta vs guida! way more interesting

That’ll all come. By the time this thing starts heating up, I’ll be slammed. I had some time this morning so I just got the reminder out of the way. Use it as a chance to talk about the fights. I, for one, am very upset about the Guida-Aurelio bout being on the undercard. I’d like to see Babalu over Grove-Cote, too.
Plus, Couture as an underdog is news that I havent passed along yet … it’s a good bet for folks to lock in those odds.
I’m done explaining myself. Have at it.
Creeks: I hear u man…. this waiting period has been tough… I hoe to never have to wait this long in between events again. From August 24 - September 22 should be a very fun time for us fans…
I really wanted to c “maximus” Aurelio vs guida… that fight has fireworks written all over it..
I dont give a shit about huerta untill the UFC puts him to the test against a quality opponent(garcia had heart), but I wanna c him fight stevenson, or ken - flow. Time to find out if huerta is ready to climb the lightweight ranks. He had enough warm up fights… I wanna c him get tested!
The first thing I thought was Roger Huerta vs ANOTHER Newbie is televised and Clay Guida vs Marcus Aurelio is not. WHAT A JOKE. Does Dana have a Mexican Man Crush on Huerta and that’s why he was on the SI cover and the reason that he hasn’t fought a UFC veteran since, well I can’t even remember when. Huerta should knock this scrub out rather quickly, and if he doesn’t, Huerta should be on the undercards until he fights against top 5 talent.
On the other hand, EVERY Clay Guida fight has been Top Notch.
For those of you who don’t know who Marcus Aurelio is, he was a STUD in the PRIDE LW division. He submitted Gomi to give him his first loss in PRIDE, and then he lost to Gomi in a rematch in an extremely close split decision.
Guida is a much more well rounded fighter than Huerta, and you can’t even compare the skill and experience levels of Alberto Crane and Marcus Aurelio. So the only logical explanation would be that Huerta is a handsome fellow who Dana is trying to market (possibly to get some of that female demographic to watch more UFC). Huerta is especially handsome when compared to Clay ‘the Geico Caveman’ Guida.
Every fight has at least one guy that I want to see fight. Must show all of them !
Kevin “cuts” Kelly
Hopefully more fights will air than last time because there are a few good undercard fights. I don’t see there being a bunch of decisions in these first few fights…Hopefully we’ll see more than the 4 or 5 fights that were televised last time.
Funny how it doesnt even say Randy vs Gonzaga on the main card fight. I guess they forgot to put the main event on there..lol
Completely laughing my ass off right now Violent Mike, “handsome fellow” and “geico caveman are now ufcmania instant classics. Gotta say though, even as we all know Clay Guida is a better all around fighter now, his UFC record is 1-2. It does seem to me that they give him extremely tough opponents. Did he sleep with Dana White’s girlfriend or something because he doesnt catch a break. Auriello is a tough MF.
They are bring Huerta along very slow like Ive said. He will probably have another tune up fight after this (UFC newbie) and then face someone like a Frankie Edgar or the loser of the Din Thomas / Spencer Fischer fight.
Guys who are possible oppoenents for Huerta after this fight
1. Another UFC newbie
2. Frank Edgar
3. Tyson Griffen
4. Loser of Spencer Fischer / Din Thomas fight
Sherk being the champ cant fight him since he has a date with BJ Penn, Joe Stevenson and Kenny Florian are a level above him in the standings so any one of the above mentioned would make a nice fit.

“Here’s how the rest of the night will look”
Of course Couture-Gonzage will be aired. It wasn’t forgotten, we added the rest of the fights after we went into detail on the main event.
How the hell does: Marcus Aurelio (14-4) vs. Clay Guida (21-8) end up on the undercard???

yeah im an idiot…lol
Well I too, am a bit dissapointed about Guide and Aurelio being on the undercard. The Kendall Grove and Patrick Cote fight I dont care as much about. Most any middleweight fights that arent championship or number 1 contender spot isnt worth watching over any other fight from a different division.
guys i hope you have seen the war between huerta and matt wiman.
the guys a battler, and fun to watch.
and on top of that, crane is a bb in jiu jitu, and a mundials champ as an american. that puts him with BJ Penn.
Well put C-war, Kendall Groove is still an undercard type fighter and considering that he is fighting Patrick Cote, this is more of a fight you would see on Spike tv.
155 pounders put on way more exciting fights than 185 pounders, so aside from Kendall Groove being a “name” why else would his fight be aired ? He hasnt has one fight where fans had their jaws wide open.
Clay Guida versus Marcus Aureilo is going to be a true war and definitly top five fights of the year.
Except when he got rocked by Anderson Silva****
I didn’t realize just how weak this PPV actually is. I mean,especially since we had to wait like 7 weeks for it. Then we have another PPV just 2 weeks after this one. With 7 weeks between PPV’s, they should give us a good one.
The fights I care about:
Randy/Gabe = of freakin course
GSP/KOS = I just want to see at least one of them get hurt very badly. Unfortunately for KOS, it will be him.
Guida/Aurelio = The BEST fight on this card by far!
Stevenson/Pellegrino - ONLY because if Stevenson wins, when Sherk is stripped of the belt, this win should put Stevenson into a fight vs Penn for the vacant belt. Or if Stevenson wins, he can then fight either the winner of Fisher/Din or the upcoming fight between Thiago Tavarez / Tyson Griffin to see who fights BJ for vacant belt.
Those are the 4 fights I want to see for sure! And I bet that a lot of you would agree.
Then, time permitting, show me, in order:
Grove/Cote
Babalu/Heath
Huerta/Crane
That would be 7 fights. Of course they should show us every fight on the card, but that will NEVER happen.
But am really pissed that Guida/Aurelio is not on the main card. I mean how many people think that the GSP/KOS fight will be a better fight than this one? Cuz I don’t even need to ask if it will be better than the Huerta/Crane, Stevenson/Pellegrino, and Grove/Cote fights. That can just go without saying.

I know Kevin. In a recent thread, from yesterday, I was writing about Clay Guida and his decieving record. I think it was in the Drago thread. Because he is 1-3 in the UFC, and some was saying that Drago is the man. I was laughing at him saying that anyone that is 1-3 in the UFC is NOT the man. With the lone exception being if Clay Guida has another Griffin-esque fight with Aurelio and loses another close split decision. He would then be 1-3.
Does Dana White have a girlfriend? He seems way to self-centered to even think about another person, if it that person was someone that would blow him multiple times a day and take it every which way. ALL Dana cares about is making money off of MMA.
Absolutely love the 155 pound division. So many possibilities. Lets for the rcord assume that Sean Sherk is cleared which very well will happen.
Championship fight
Sean Sherk vs. BJ Penn
Joe Stevenson vs. Kurt Pellegrino - providing he wins, Joe becomes clear # 1 contender.
Kenny Florian ? Needs to fight a top ten guy to become the clear # 2 or # 3 guy … How about putting him up against Frank Edgar who I think is ranked at # 5 seems like a solid indicator of what could be.
Din Thomas who I have ranked currently at # 3 needs to be Spencer Fischer who is a top ten guy TO MAKE A CASE FOR TITLE CONTENTION. If Spencer Fischer does in fact win, a fight with Joe Stevenson seems likely considering both will have the same amount of rest time before their next fights.
(Possible #1 contender match)
If BJ Penn loses to Sean Sherk, I think having him fight Clay Guida or Maximus Aureilo, whoever wins, would be a nice step up for one of those guys.
A solid match up to get away from the UFC newbies that Joe Silva throws at Roger Huerta would be to have him fight Tysen Griffen, or when he comes back at the end of the year Melvin Guillard spells FIREWORKS.
It seems so far out, but when this event hits we will 3 others in a 4 week period. Loving that idea
I see two fights in the undercard I’d rather see than Kendall and Cote. Sobral and Heath, and Guida against Aurelio. They always seem to do that atleast one time per UFC, last time they didn’t air Frank Edgar pummeling Bocek.
UFC needs to sign more top 10 LW. I think they r just trying to b lazy n promote the lightweights they have and eventually squeezing them into the top 10… It wont be ligit, because they haven brought any pride LW except aurelio.
THey gotta get:
Gomi
Ishida
Kawajiri
akoi
gilbert “el nino”
“Mach” Sakurai
Shoalin
If they wanna legitimize the division
Is dana gonna bring back nick diaz (warrior)
And get some damn middleweights in the UFC! im hearing rumors that hendo will stay at LHW. Big mistake the middleweight division needs hm bad. who else is ever gonna challenge The spidai, plus I wouldnt mind seeing Hendo destroy Rich Franklin
[quote post=”2904″]But am really pissed that Guida/Aurelio is not on the main card. I mean how many people think that the GSP/KOS fight will be a better fight than this one? [/quote]
I do, and I like Guida, but it’s not even a questions of who should be on the main card, (GSP or Guida).GSP always has exciting fights, even when he loses.
i would like to be there
snap, tap, or go to sleep.
disapointed, LOL huerta could break a wet bag with those spaghetti armpunches. Crane is going to either suffocate huerta,or he will make him tap do to arm locks. Review Crane’s fights and tell me differently, he is a world champion in grappling. Crane might not have fought in the UFC but don’t hate on level of competition when Huerta has fought four times in the ufc and still not fought anyone on the whose whose list of mma.
doug evans was whooping huerta. huerta is a ok fighter with great build up no show hype. If you watched their fight evans was embarrassed after having lost with no damage being done by huerta’s non existent punching power, even when he has an opponents back. Evans with more submission knowledge could have ended that fight in round one. Crane wins! via choke sorry roger you pansey there will be no more illustrated covers for you.
Dude, this fight is a guaranteed win for Alberto. I trained with him in New Mexico, and he is a TRUE BAD ASS. Anyone who thinks Crane is just another newbie is about to be slapped in the face.
If Randy loses, this will b the worst weekend ever. I have to put my dog down in a few days because of kidney failure. I just watched UFC 68 THE UPRISING, when Randy won the HW title. I’m really pulling for my hero to beat the odds again. If I ever needed him, I need him to come through for me 2nite.
To all those who are saying Crane will beat Huerta…what?!? Crane’s previous opponents have a combined losing record. The best opponent he has ever faced “Javier Vasquez” tore his acl in the first round and Crane still couldnt finish him…It went to a split decision. Doug Evans is an incredible wrestler, Crane is not. Huerta will be able to dictate where this fight goes and will probably tko Crane in the first. There are reasons the odds are heavy in favor of Huerta.
Huerta is one of the “protected” he’s deffo expected to win this fight…but this is MMA, anything could happen. Though i think he is a young fighter that will deff get better. So like Bisbing it’s not a bad thing that he’s working his way through the lesser fighters, all of the protected will have to stand up and be counted one day, there seems to be a lot of bashing on this site, but do ANY of the fighters get to “pick” their fights? I doubt it. Maybe some fights get influenced by hype which results in certain fighters getting what they want.. Bottom line for me personally is that we get to see good fights all in good time…
You can’t tell me you’re not all looking forward to Couture Gonzaga tonight… Then Henderson n Rampage…
I just can’t wait for W.Sylva to get in the mix….sick shiz
Guida is up 20-18 through 2 rounds.
Supposedly, we all thought Guida won against Griffin as well.
GUIDA WINS UNANIMOUS DECISION!
GO CAVEMAN!
Yeah GUIDA iz da MAN!!!
Hell ya, go Guida!
Man, a impressive performance by Thales, what a beautiful armbar finish in round 1.
Can you say Submission of the Night?
“Mr. NC-17″
You watching this fight live, bud?
I’m 2 for 2 so far. Keep it coming baby. Just like me!!!
I got a friend actually there, and he is in the 2nd row, and his phone has a camera on it, and it records up to five minutes, so after the first round he sends it to me, so I am catching some undercard bouts =p
Must love phones.
is there anyone out there that will stand along side me and think koschech and gonzaga will come out victorious
I Hope “The Real” Frank Mir shows up, I really miss THAT Frank Mir in the Octagon.
Mir won’t b breaking nobody’s arm 2nite though.
I dunno he could snap Hardonk’s arm, that would be great.
I really hope the cameras show Brock Lesnar right before the Couture fight tonight.
Mania, too bad you dont live in Cincinnati, you could of joined me when Rich Franklin throws an American Fighter Debut Party, its going to be sweet.
whats the whole story behind the old mir and new mir i know he was in a accident but thats it
NC - 17: Who’s fighting now? Mir? or babalu” and if u got any new info please keep us up to date. That awesome that u got to c some of the action, I know aurelio lost, but how did he look?
I almost ate my words…THE REAL MIR IZ BACK!!!!
NC - 17: Who’s fighting now? Mir? or babalu” and if u got any new info please keep us up to date. That awesome that u got to c some of the action, I know aurelio lost, but how did he look?
Mir via submission in round one!
John, Babalu is up now.
Hey I Bread, guess what happened?
Mir won via Kimura.
Go Figure.
THE REAL FRANK MIR IS BACK!
Mir just won with a kimura in the first. babalu is next.
Mr. NC-17″ what was the time and round mir had won in
Nevermind, they just posted Frank Mir gets the win by Kimura.
Anyone know whats goin on in the babalu fight?
Nevermind, they just posted Frank Mir gets the win by Kimura.
Anyone know whats goin on in the babalu fight?
Not up yet. Stay tuned.
ELW I just checked Sherdog to see the offical time of the bout, Mir won in 1 Minute and 17 Seconds.
nc-17, THAT WAS WEIRD…WE SAID THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME!!!
wHO WINS….SOBRAL OR HEATH?
I SAY bABALU WINS BY SUB IN THE SECOND ROUND.
A TON of money is coming in on Gonzaga the last few days, and today, and has gone from underdog to favorite. Couture went from being a -160 favorite to a 150 dog. That takes alot of money to move lines like that so we shall see if the late money is the smart money. Let’s hope it’s a good fight either way.
awesome
Bread, Babalu really needs this win, and I think he wins with a Round 1 Knockout, Simple put.
He needs this more than ever, and I really want him to win.
Randy LOVES b-ing the underdog! His time to shine!
I think heath has upset potential. Dunno which Babalu will show up to fight.
idk babalu is a great fighter or once was a great fighter before liddel and lambert but i doubt he will ever get a title shot again look at the lwh division its stacked but hey u never know he is a very tough guy he did go 3 rounds with fedor so anything can happen
Babalu is exactly like a GSP, you never know what fighter is going to show up. You can get the Babalu that wins 11 straight, or you get the Babalu that shows up, and decides he wants to stand and box with a boxer in Lambert, it makes no sense.
Babalu is great though, BUT this is a MUST WIN for him, if he loses he might be in WEC.
NC 17: What is your boy saying about the guida fight? did he deserve the split decision win, or did he get it because the judges had screwed him out of other decisions? Was it the war that many off us expected? I really wanted to c that fight on the main card!
Babalu went straight for the takedown, Babalu not looking very impressive right now as I can tell on this.
MrNC-17, I thought this would b a nite of the old-schoolers….Randy,Mir, and Babalu…that’ll suck if he loses!
John he said Guida deserved the Unanimous, but only got the split.
I feel racism towards Clay Guida, considering he is one of the few cavemen still alive.

i really appreciate the updates. im stuck down the beach on my laptop with my girl. no ppv here!
Come on Babalu…I don’t care if the fans hate your tactics…get the win!
cdubb at least you are at the beach with your girl, there is no better place than that my friend.
NC17: thanks for the updates!
anybody givin koscheck a chance? GSP is the ultimate example of an MMA skillset, but he’s prone to lapses of talent….so what do you guys think? this is one of the fights i’ve been lookin forward to since it was posted….not a huge fan of either of them, but i am a fan of a good bout, and this has the makings of one.
this is cool but isn’t there a radio feed anywhere we can pick up like listening to a ball game…or the old time fights?
JDub I have Koscheck winning.
I think he will blanket GSP to victory, and you know what I hope he does.
this is cool but isn’t there a radio feed anywhere we can pick up like listening to a ball game…or the old time fights?
No.
BABALU WINS ANDACONA CHOKE!
BABALU IS ALIVE!
