Also, about Lindland, I forget where I herd this, but it was an interview with Lindland and he said, that back when Lindland was fighting in the UFC, Dana was pushing for Rich Franklin (one of Dana’s posterboys) to be champion. Lindland said that since he would have crushed Rich, Dana wouldnt let him fight Rich or something like that. Thats what the falling out between him and Dana was about. Enough with the baby shit between Dana and fighters. Grow up Dana, Im sick of hearing about his personal problems with fighters.

Just get me everysingle top 10 fighter in the world. He acts petty sometimes.[/quote]

That makes total sense. I figure that is why they don’t have Paulo in the UFC yet.

Jason MacDonald at UFC 77.[/quote]

Good looking Mania, I dont know how I missed that.

Round 1: Cro Cop
Round 2: Kongo
Round 3: Kongo

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

Can you imagine if this fight took place in Croatia? Cro Cop would have won a unanimous decision 30-25 across the board. If Bisping gets 29-28 for his performance in England, I’d say that’s about right for CroCop in Croatia… I REALLY HOPE that this isn’t what this sport has come to, but this Bisping/Hamill fight has me really upset.[/quote]

I hear ya. I was sitting at home thinking Bisping just got his first lose and to his fellow TUF 3 opponent. I was smiling from ear to ear. Then I hear Bisping’s name and I started laughing at the t.v. I couldn’t believe it.

The thing I thought was the best was Bisping’s deminor before the results. You could tell he looked defeated. When they called his name it looked like he had just won the lottery. “I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it!!!!!!!!!” Running around the ring and then saying Hamill should go back to wrestling. That was disgusting. I can’t wait to hear his first statement after the fight knowing about 90% of the people who watched that fight thought that he lost. I bet he says something like “The judges scored the fight in my favor so there is nothing I can do about it. I know I won that fight fair and square.”

When do you think CroCop broke his rib? You could tell his aggression went way down after the first round. I mean he pushed the action in the first no doubt.

I have to take back what I said in my previous post about CroCop maybe stopping the fight in the first. Kongo did reverse the mount right at the end of the round.

MMAFAN1981: I’m not sure if John is on there, but I am, and I’ve been doing pretty crappy since I bet the house on Kendall Grove against Cote as my ’sure shot pick’. Go figure….. I got most back with a Kongo win…

But anyways, UFCMania actually has a Fight Camp on MMAplayground, so all us bloggers on this site are all grouped together in a fight camp![/quote]

I did the exact same thing. I have gone downhill a little bit because of the Grove/Cote fight. Although I did miss the Kongo/CroCop fight.

What do you think about that fight? I thought that CroCop took the first but then definitely lost the 2nd and 3rd. The first round was close but with the take down and the mount I had to give it to CroCop. You never know if the fight would have gone 1 min longer CroCop may have stopped it. I doubt it but he was in the mount and beginning to throw some punches from the top position.

Thanks for writing this John. I have been super buisy at work today, and really didn’t have much time to surf the site much today. Of course I feel the same way… And I appologize if it appeared that I was trying to have a 1 on 1 conversation – I was actually hoping to get MORE opinions on the LHW division.

MMAfan1981, I initially wrote it to John because he had asked me the question in an older thread, and I wasn’t sure if he would read it or not, so I also put it into a newer thread. Especially since I didn’t think too many people care about the predator…lol, j/k

Kang would be a great addition to that division. zuffa owns the WEC, so y the hell do they have Paulo Filho fighting in the WEC, when the UFC is in desperate need of a high caliber 185 lb fighter like him?

Also Dana and Lindland need to kiss and make up because he is at the top of the 185 ladder, and he is needed in the division.

Imagine how much better the 185 lb division would be if we had:

Anderson Silva
Dan Henderson
Paulo Filho
Dennis Kang
Matt Lindland
Okami
Bisping (cutting weight down to 185)
Rich Franklin
Nate Marquardt (even tho he was completely outclasses by silva, then again who isnt)

That would be a decent division. Filho is already a ZUFFA employee, so there should be no trouble getting him over to the UFC[/quote]

Very true I didn’t even think about Lindland. I mean seriously why is White not pushing for him to come to the UFC? Did they have a falling out or something? To have Filho and not bring him to the UFC is ridiculous.

That list would definitely be a stacked 185lb roster.

John you need to check out http://www.mmaplayground.com this is a really cool site for UFC fans that are knowledgeable about the sport. It shows a lot of the future pairings for events up to UFC 77. They should have 78 up there soon I would imagine. Plus they have contests where you pick the fights: who is going to win, how they are going to end, and in what round, etc. They have seasons of 10 UFC events and who ever has the most points racked up actually wins money. It is a pretty neat little site. You can also wager fake money for every fight. You may already know about it but I thought I would put that out there.
