Mania, u never answered my question as too your personal prediction for the Penn/Stevenson and Gonzaga/Werdum fights….just curious cause you just feed us the news and rarely offer opinions.
[quote comment="271675"]Penn. And i actually like Werdum. Call me crazy.
John email me when you can. I tried but you never responded.[/quote]
YeAH i NEED to start checkin my e-mails. i am in college so I tend to use my college E mail, I will give you that address on the contact link of this site, you hit me up on my school adress because I check that one all the time…sorry!
I would have LOVED to have been at that photo shoot, or anywhere with Rampage and Mayhem for that matter. Constant laughs and good times minus the punches to the dick.
man ole man.Rampage is mos def a cool cat. i thinks thats why ppl like him. he laid back and cuts ups and has a good time. he steps in the cage and then he got his game face on.gotta love that guy. i like chuck and all, but that impression was great…lol
UFC 80 is now just hours away. 26 hours and 39 minutes away if you want to get technical, yet still, there is not the usual “buzz’ surrounding this event.
Sure this event lacks blockbuster matchups like Chuck Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva, or GSP vs Matt Hughes, but it is still a UFC event – which means top quality fighters. UFC fans that pick and choose which PPV’s they order will more than likely pass this one by, but the hardcore fans will buy it, since they buy them all, no matter what.
Many times, its these types of cards, those that are lacking the blockbuster and hall of fame type names, that provide for the most excitement. The UFC 80 card reminds me a lot of Ultimate Fight Night 10 as well as the TUF 7 finale, and I can only hope that UFC 80- turns out similarly. The two cards were both lacking the big names, and many internet bloggers were doing nothing but dissing the cards. UFN10 and TUF 7 Finale ended up being two of my favorite events of the year – they were full of excitement!
Ultimate Fight Night 10: The main event was Stout/Fisher 2. That fight was more than memorable. A standup battle at its finest. Who knows, Penn/Stevenson may end up being a very memorable scrambling type fight, ala Diaz/Sanchez. Jon Fitch was also on the UFN10 card against Roan Carniero. This would be what was considered the “featured bout’ that occured before the main event, the equivalent of a Gabe vs Werdum. The rest of the fights on that UFN card seemed pathetic. They were:
Drew McFedries vs Jordan Radev
Anthony Johnson vs Chad Reiner
Gleison Tibau vs Jeff Cox
Pete Spratt vs Tamdan McCrory
Luigi Fioravanti vs Forrest Petz
Jason Black vs Thiago Tavarez
That night of fights was great. Many of the fights ended quickly, and we got to see more fights than usual. Everyone remembers McFedries nearly killing Jordan Radev in the octagon, followed right up by a 13 second Anthony Johnson KO. This event also featured the unveiling of Thiago Tavarez, where he looked stellar in his performance against Jason Black.
TUF 7 Finale: The TUF 7 was pretty recent, so I’m not going to go into much detail, but NOBODY was complaining about that card after the event. The main event featured 2 Top 10 LW fighters, Roger Huerta vs Clay Guida. This was the Fight of the Year! UFC 80’s main event featured the TOP TWO LW’s and could provide for the same level of excitement. And who would have predicted that War Machine vs JRock would be discussed as possibly the fight of the year? There were zero blockbuster names on that card, and look how it turned out. Besides the opening fight, Barrera vs Saunders, every other one was phenominal and ended before the end of the third round. What else can a fan ask for?
And now back to the up-coming UFC 80.
BJ Penn vs Joe Stevenson: When the cage door closes on the two, they are both going to come running to the center of the octagon, and the pace should stay like that for at least two rounds. Then the question about BJ’s condition will be raised, but he looks to be in the best shape of his life. The only way I don’t see this fight being exciting is if BJ gasses and Stevenson goes Sean Sherk on him for rounds 3, 4, and 5 to win a decision. But even if that were to happen, Stevenson will be looking to end the fight, and BJ will still be working his world renowned guard.
Gabe Gonzaga vs Fabricio Werdum: Their first fight when the fought was actually exciting. If have only seen Werdum fight once, against Arlovski, you haven’t seen the real Werdum. Werdum has never been finished in a fight, and Napao has never been submitted. Both of these fighters want to end this fight. This fight will be exciting on the feet and on the ground. Look out, this could actually be a surprise pick for Fight of the Night…
Marcus Davis vs Jess Liaudin: I have not seen Marcus Davis in a boring fight since his TUF days. Jess Liaudin also likes to bring it, and word has it that he wants to KO Davis. If this is true, then look out – someone’s wig will be getting peeled back in this one!!!
Wilson Gouveia vs Jason Lambert: I have been touting Wilson for a while now. He is extremely talented, and it appears that he wins his fights effortlessly. Meanwhile Jason Lambert earned himself the nickname “The Punisher” for the right reasons. He likes to take his opponents down and pound them out. Wilson has crisp standup and a world class guard. These contrasting styles may make for an outstanding fight
Kendall Grove vs Jorge Rivera: I have found all 3 of Kendall’s post TUF fights to be entertaining. His muay thai is great, and he likes to finish. Jorge Rivera may be a stepping stone, but I wouldn’t call him that to his face. Jorge is a tough guy with standup background. I picture this looking like the Grove/Belcher fight or the Grove/Cote fight, both of which had me on the edge of my seat.
Of the undercard fights, I am rooting most to see Paul Kelly vs Paul Taylor (fought Marcus Davis at UFC 75 in the Fight of the Night) and James Lee vs Alessio Sakara. There has been a lot of hype surrounding James Lee on the internet before and especially after his 30 second win at PRIDE 33.
So what I’m saying is – don’t sleep on the UFC 80 card, you may regret it. You don’t want to be that Maniac that signs onto the computer Sunday morning kicking themselves in the ass because they didn’t cough up the money for the PPV. There are definitely fights on the card that have the potential to be memorable, even though its not filled with blockbuster names or Top 5 competitors.
So you now know how I feel about the event, how do you feel?
[quote comment="271709"]Haha, I was watching this yesterday. So funny. Especially the Chuck impression.
Stuff like this makes me more and more excited for TUF7.[/quote]
Between Rampage and Forrest TUF 7 is going to be non-stop laughs. If they can round out that show with some decent fighters it can be the best season yet.
[quote comment="272020"][quote comment="272006"]Mayhem Miller is a joke, Liddell Will beat rampage if they meet again. That fight is bound to happen[/quote]
Just like Tito and Babalu will beat Chuck, Franklin will beat Silva, Hughes will beat St Pierre. Ever heard of having someones number?[/quote]

dude i am a fan of chucks,but the only way he will ever beat rampage is maybe with a ball bat,and it would still be close.
lol funny chuck impression…Chuck has the ability to beat Rampage I think, but it will never happen. I think Rampage gives Chuck more problems mentally tban anything, I still think Chuck looked nervous in their fight, Anyway will be great to see Rampage vs Forrest lol I cant wait for the staredown
ha rampage is the bomb. when he came back home to memphis me and one of my friends went to a family party of his and the first thing he says is who sre all these whit people SHIT the popo mu st be here

You’re probablly right thats of course if Rampage can overcome the mental part of it. But Remember Chuck did beat Wandi but Wandi Destroyed Rampage twice and Hopefully we will see part three within the next couple of years. All I’ve got to say is Rampage better stay out of that clinch.

Rampage Cracks me up
that why I like the champ. Great attitude. Same with Mayhem. My buddy peepee tagged me the other day just like that. I was BS.
That vid was great. Loved the impression. I hope Rampage was sticking his gut out, I can’t imagine him looking like that in between fights.
CLASSIC!!!!!!!!

The “I just won” Chuck impression was a riot. I nearly blew water on my screen here at work.
The Chuck impersonation was the best ever, almost as good as Serra impersonating Hughes.
HAHA I like how Rampage was wearing the Affliction Shirt after the photoshoot.
I wonder what Osiris execs have to say about that. That Chuck impersonation is priceless. HAHA
