this is a great card!!!!!! this is one ufn i am really looking forward to!!!!
the only thing i dont like about this card is that karo gets telivised again!!!!! wtf look at all of his fights they all go to a boring decision!!!! he really doesnt have anything good or new in my book!!!!! i hope alves throws it into him!!!! and gets him back to where the boring fights are THE UNDERCARD!!!!
i’m more excited about this card than UFC83 to be honest. PLUS its free!! When the hell are they going to let us bet on H Alexander or Manny G ?!? Odds still never came out for them!! WTF!!
Mania, will the weigh ins be broadcast on the internet?

WHAT??? You are out of your mind. I am by no means a fan of Karo, in fact, I root against him in every one of his fight - I can’t wait to see him get KO’d. But the fact of the matter is that he brings excitement to every one of his fights (except the Gono fight) and has one of the most unique and entertaining styles. Everyone of Karo’s fights have been on the main card of PPV’s or the main event of an UFN. Karo fighting on the main card of a UFN card is actually a step down for him. Any mma fan should be happy that they get to see a Karo fight for free. Especially against an underrated Thiago ALvez who WILL be looking to KO the Heat.

WTF - I think you are insulting a lot of fighters by saying Karo deserves to be PPV only. This card has everything on it from new blood, veterans, guys who have fought for a title (unlike your beloved Karo) fight of the night winners and guys that have pulled off big upsets. Karo is one dimentional with great Judo and no finishing skills.
Man…I hope there’s going to be more than 5 fights televised because that’ll be more commercials than I can bare. It’s a 3 hour telecast!!!
All kidding aside it looks like a great card. Personally I’d pass on a Karo fight as well, I’d rather watch Manny or Clay. I enjoy watching Guida fight. He’s an animal that never stops going forward. I saw his fight with Huerta again yesterday…Every time I watch I hope the result changes but no luck!!!

I did not say, please re-read my post. I did not say that he deserves to be PPV only. I said that a non-main event UFN fight is a step down for him. This is actually his 3rd UFN fight. First was the main event against Diego, which was his only loss in years. Then his next fight was on a UFN as well - he was coming off of a loss. Karo was the WW #1 contender until Fitch beat Wilson. But then again, that was just something that Dana said in post fight interviews, so we’ll see.

Again, please re-read my post. I express my dislike of Karo a couple of times in my post. I hate karo as a person but enjoy watching his fights - rooting for him to LOSE.
THE POINT OF MY POST was to say that the original poster is dead wrong. He thinks that Karo should be fighting on the undercard of an UFN??? Karo is a Top 3 WW in the UFC. Why would he be on the undercard of a UFN. Plus, Karo has had Fight of the Year on at least one occasion.

I think you meant to say: except against Ryo Chonan.
Gono vs. Karo would be a great fight.
Watch the young Pitbull from AKA take one step closer to breaking into the top 5 by upsetting Karo…. I cant wait! This event features a bunch of fighters that I truly enjoy watching:
Joe Lau
Kenny Florian
Nate
Batman
Houston
Karo
Alves
Edgar
and its all for free. What more can we ask for? Take away all the damn commercials and that 10 minute previwe of the Jet li/Jaackie chan movie that will air in the middle of the broad cast and its a perfect night.
Any word on how many fights will air on the 1st episode of TUF 7?

Karo on the undercard of a TUF event? Comical!
kimbo Slice’s opponent for the CBS Card:
I hear rumors of 2 opponents for Kimbo at the CBS card:
#1: Ron “H20″ Waterman: This would be a great fight for Kimbo because we would get to see how he matches up against a veryy good wrestler. Striker vs. Grappler is what mma was built on, and we have only seen Kimbo face Brawlers so far. I think Waterman would make a great opponent for Kimbo because I would be really impressed if he could stuff Ron’s takedowns and keep the fight standing. Ron Waterman’s game is actually very simular to Jeff Monson. I think this would be the 1st opponent that I would be impressed by Kimbo if he could beat.
#2: Another Brawler, James Thompson. This does littel to show us Kimbo’s progress as an mma fighter. Thompson is the same type of fighter that Kimbo has been facing accept, he is probably a little tougher and he has a lot of mma experience fighting in Cage Rage and PRIDE.
I would prefer to see him face Waterman, but either fighter would be the best opponent he has faced so far.

Apologies. I read it again after my post. I just don’t think it is a step down for Karo. He is under contract to fight in any event, UFN or PPV, televised or not. Top 3 WW? GSP, Fitch, Hughes & KOS IMO are top of the pile at present then maybe Karo. He WAS No1 Contender but isn’t anymore.
Manny Gamburyan really got lost in this event.
Fighters from his season of TUF are all getting big fights but not Manny. I dont really care since Manny has not shown the ability to be exciting except for when he broke Mohr’s leg. But its funny to see all his cast mates get Big Fights while Manny gets Jeff Cox. Think about it:
Nate is fighting Batman
Lauzon (who manny beat) is fighting Florian in the main event
and Maynard is fighting Edgar.
Manny is getting treated like the red headed step child out of the bunch. Maybe that will teach him to stop laying, praying and dry humping his way to wins.
New Quote from Dana white about Fedor and Tim Sylvia:
A quote from UFC President Dana White:
“”We want to make the fights the people want to see,” White said. “If there is a fight that we can make for him that people really want to see, then we’ll try the best we can to get that done. We’ll see what we can do as far as (signing Emelianenko) goes.”

Wanderlei Silva’s response to Rampage calling him the “Chump Murderer”:
A quote from the blog of Wanderlei Silva:
“i’m always watching out for the comments here (in the blog) and in PVT (portaldovaletudo.com.br). for my surprise i saw that someone changed my nickname from Axe Murderer to Chump Murderer, but what i have to say is that the nickname is only aplied to one person because the only chump i fought was Quinton (Jackson). That’s old history: “who beat forgets and but who get his ass kicked wants revenge”. what i have to say is that this fight is gonna happen again soon, but IS GONNA BE HARD TO HANG HIM ON THE FENCES. i think it’s strange for him to talk like this on the internet because he had a lot of oportunities to talk this to my face when we met in vegas. He said that i dont look to him eye-to-eye, off course I don’t! I don’t like him, i really dont! I think he’s a chump and a idiot. We cant forget to say that he is a tough fighter but i think that fight can happen sooner than everybody imagine, cuz i dont know if he can win his fight against Forrest.”
Aleksander Emelianenko gets a new opponent
Source:Mix Fight M-1 - Mixed Martial Arts
Alexander’s opponent’s name is change…againPublish date: March, 28, 2008
Finally one fighter stepped up to accept the challenge and fight against Alexander Emelianenko in a superfight come April, 3. It’s going to be Chute Boxe Academy representative Silvio Santos (5-2) whose height is 189 cm and weight is 115 kg.
What organization in Mix Fight M-1? Is it the new M-1, that dumped Monte Cox and is now owned by Fedor’s manager?

Yeah I thought that was funny as well, its probably true also.
Wanderlei has really been impressed with Forrest and its interesting to hear him saying that Forrest may beat Rampage.

No worries UKmmaBoy, my bad as well. Number 3 is as high as he CAN be ranked. GSP and Fitch are ahead of him. I think that Kara is ahead of Kos for sure. I would put Karo even with Hughes. Also, we can’t forget about Serra, not too many champs are left out of the Top 5 of the division. Does the belt guarantee him a top spot?
So in the end, I would say that Karo is Top 5 in UFC WW for sure.

I think Rampage would beat Wandy if they go at it again. Rampage is clearly a different fighter than he was back in PRIDE, and his style addapts well with the cage.

Manny should win this fight easily, but if he goes the distance with this nobody, then I’m going to dust off “British Prostitute” and reattach it to him.
They aren’t even televising the two best fights on the card: Din Thomas vs Josh Neer, and Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard.

Yeh absolutely…TBH with you, i didn’t even read the post that was being referred to (which i guess was yours) I was really just talking about the pple who talk BS in general..
The debate is great, that’s how i learn things…I will come on here and post something brash like MrX will beat MrY and someone else who has looked at the situation from another angle will point out something I never thought of which is cool. And I don’t know half as much as some of you so that happens to me a lot lol…
The ones that really just annoy me are the ones that take up screen space with BS…hate talk basically[quote post=”5588″]Wanderlei has really been impressed with Forrest and its interesting to hear him saying that Forrest may beat Rampage[/quote]
Do you think he meant it genuinely though or was probably just a come back of sorts, I’m thinking it was the latter. But as you say one way or the other we need to see Part3.. in the cage (Wandi vs Page)[/quote]
ToeLock: if you watch the bonus material on the UFC 79 Nemesis DVD, Wanderlei actually talks about how tough of a guy Forrest is. He thought he was a nobody when he fought Shogun, but now he has a ton of respect for him and talked really well about Forrest
Yeah the hate talk and sensless fighter bashing drives me crazy

Cool…I’ll ave to check that out, though I’m behind in DVD’s so not sure when I’ll get round to it. But I guess it was the former then

Oh and forgot to say thanks Mania for the response!! after is better than never
I think i’d like to see the Clay Guida vs. Samy Schiavo rather than the Matt Hamill vs. Tim Boetsch? Am I alone here?
Guida may not always win but, its fun to watch him fight!

[quote comment=”395175″]the only thing i dont like about this card is that karo gets telivised again!!!!! wtf look at all of his fights they all go to a boring decision!!!! he really doesnt have anything good or new in my book!!!!! i hope alves throws it into him!!!! and gets him back to where the boring fights are THE UNDERCARD!!!![/quote]
WHAT??? You are out of your mind. I am by no means a fan of Karo, in fact, I root against him in every one of his fight - I can’t wait to see him get KO’d. But the fact of the matter is that he brings excitement to every one of his fights (except the Gono fight) and has one of the most unique and entertaining styles. Everyone of Karo’s fights have been on the main card of PPV’s or the main event of an UFN. Karo fighting on the main card of a UFN card is actually a step down for him. Any mma fan should be happy that they get to see a Karo fight for free. Especially against an underrated Thiago ALvez who WILL be looking to KO the Heat.[/quote]
I think you meant to say: except against Ryo Chonan.
Gono vs. Karo would be a great fight.
Watch the young Pitbull from AKA take one step closer to breaking into the top 5 by upsetting Karo…. I cant wait! This event features a bunch of fighters that I truly enjoy watching:
Joe Lau
Kenny Florian
Nate
Batman
Houston
Karo
Alves
Edgar
and its all for free. What more can we ask for? Take away all the damn commercials and that 10 minute previwe of the Jet li/Jaackie chan movie that will air in the middle of the broad cast and its a perfect night.
Any word on how many fights will air on the 1st episode of TUF 7?[/quote]
Go Karo! Throw his ass into the next week. Pitbull, isn’t that a rapper from Miami? LOL! You know I had to mess with you john.
good card!!! and it’s freeeeeeeeeeeee!

Tiago Alves does look like the Brazilian version of PitBull “the cuban rapper”…. I would like to see there pictures on a spit screen.
BTW, Tiago is winning that fight!
[quote comment=”395259″]Manny Gamburyan really got lost in this event.
Fighters from his season of TUF are all getting big fights but not Manny. I dont really care since Manny has not shown the ability to be exciting except for when he broke Mohr’s leg. But its funny to see all his cast mates get Big Fights while Manny gets Jeff Cox. Think about it:
Nate is fighting Batman
Lauzon (who manny beat) is fighting Florian in the main event
and Maynard is fighting Edgar.
Manny is getting treated like the red headed step child out of the bunch. Maybe that will teach him to stop laying, praying and dry humping his way to wins.[/quote]
That is very surprising. The kid looks to be a helluva fighter, albeit a mental midget. I like his relentless, push the pace style, however I just can’t get past that blowup he had on TUF. Every year their’s someone who seems to forget that their going to be on national tv (and then highly critiqued on numerous blogs.) Wonder who the nutbag will be this year?
