Its still 3 weeks away, got me all excited thinking its this weekend for some reason.
Why in gods green earth is Goran Reljic (7-0) vs. Wilson Gouveia (10-4) onn the main card? Soukodui vs. nakamura should be on their instead
Thiago Silva is the next big thing in the UFC
“Thiago Silva is the next big thing in the UFC”
I certainly hope so. He is one of the most underplayed talents in LHW right now, but this fight could send some signals, that is if he wins of course.
He just hasn’t really fought anyone that most fans would know other than Houston Alexander. Obviously, Houston is not as tough as everyone once thought he was, hence Thiago is not receiving as much credit as he might have if Alexander beat Irvin in convincing fashion.
It was suppossed to be Silva vs Rashad Evans on this card until they moved him to UFC 85 as the main draw - then Chuck got injuried. That was going to be Silva’s fight to fire him up the ranks. I would have loved to see Thiago destroy Rashad.
Though he hasn’t fought anyone that tough in the UFC, coming from the Chute Box Camp shows that this kid has the skills. I can’t wait to watch his progress after this fight.
I am a huge Thiago Silva fan, I hope he is careful though because although his opponent isn’t very well known he is dangerous. I watched his fight where he defeated Kiril (Fedor’s protege). Even though he won by doctor stoppage he looked good and has been riding a big winning streak. I really like Thiago and I am hoping that his opponent doesnt play the “spoiler role” that night, but Antonio Mendes is going to make a good impression and be a solid addition to the UFC’s most stacked division.
I love Goveai but come on, throw that fight on the under card. I do not wantt o see him fight a 23 year old croation ju jitsu fighter. Wilson is just going to knock his block off. Hopefully he ends it quickly so that there is a chance of the Soko vs. Nakamura fight being aired, as well as Rusimar Palheres’s fight.
No Sh*t …
Flat out, for those of us loyal fans who’ve purchased every pay per view for the past 10 years or so .. we should get the under card fights included as well …like it used to be!
Your screwing your fans out of great fights!… Look at how many fights on your greatest knock out compilations are under card fights ! P L E N T Y …And thats what we pay for, to see them when they happen. Not on spike 6 months later for free!
4 - 3round fights and the headliner is bunk compared to years back when you’d see 6 or 7 fights ! I guess you lured us in, now we’ll have tyo deal with the bare minimum.
BONG!
This is why I stopped buying the PPVs. You are absolutely correct. Unless you split it with a few people I feel as though I’m paying for half a show.
The only reason they don’t show prelims anymore is so Dana can milk people out of more money selling them on UFC on demand. even the dvds aren’t gauranteed to have them.
They don’t show all the prelims because the UFC purchases 3 hours of satellite time for each PPV. I agree they could be more efficient like WEC and skip all the build-up between fights (we already bought the show, they don’t need to keep selling it). But for the UFC to get, say, 5 hours of satellite time would drive costs way up, which would then be passed on to the consumers.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS PPV.
Lets go BJ!!
WHAT ABOUT THE AFFLICTION CARD!!!!!ITS IN ANAHEIM JUST 30 MINUTES AWAY HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
BJ
Wanderlei
Gouveia
Machida
Silva
Salaverry
Sokoudjou
Clementi
War Machine
Tan
Wellisch
Great card! Can’t wait, go BJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya BJ won. Thank God school is out in Hawaii or no one would be in class, they would make it a BJ Penn holiday. BJ is still a trash talking crap artist using the steroid thing as an excuse in case he lost he would have blamed it on that. No respect for him still. Sean Sherk is a good family man, Penn a spoiled rich kid. So all of you Sherk haters can blow.
Sick card looking forward to see war machine and sokoudjous fights also…
people can say what they want but the ufc definately stacks its cards with great fights
the big 3 are all great fights, but im also very interested in seeing how soku recovers and seeing what shane carwin is all about. the ufc despereatley needs some fresh,young talent at hw. even the guys who arent w/them are gettting old.
Go Sherk!!
LoL! All these BJ BJ BJ!!! Comments and one random “Go Sherk” HA! Talk about being in the minority! You guys all know how i feel so nothing need be said pimps! Cant wait!
I second the go Sherk motion.
dont worry sherk, theres no shame at all for losing on 3 best welter weights, matt hughes,GSP,Bj penn.
losing on those 3 guys is not a sahme at all
this is true!
I know it’s already been said…. But Sokodjou not on the main card? I really like the UFC and generally are happy with their decision making. But they certainly missed the bus with Sokodjou.
Etim vs Clementi would be good on the main card too.
fair shout! Didn’t Clementi fight on the 83 card too!
I agree. Clementi has won 5 straight fights, 3 in UFC. You could also make a case for Soko being on the main card, and I want to see if Carwin really is the Next Big Thing in the HW division, other than Lesnar of Course. Just from his Sherdog page Reljic looks like he has a nice submission game, but the UFC would have been better off saving him for a European card.
bad ass card, can’t wait to see it on ppv!
Is the muscle carp going to have less strength and look smaller because lack of his additional ‘help’
No and No. Someone wanted to feed the “steroid” hype machine and say awhile back that he was much smaller in some photos. Same as always at the weigh-ins. Ripped.
ripped, but smaller.
no. the guy didnt need the roids. he is still a stellar athlete. GO SHERK. BJ is way to over rated.
I’m not sure that BJ is overated and i think he will win. However, i think people are generally rulling Sherk out a little soon. The guy is still capable of winning this, and it wouldn’t suprise me if he took the fight on points. I think people just don’t like the guy (me included kinda) as he’s not know to finish fights.
Finishes them as much as BJ does. The ones he hasn’t are guys that aren’t ever finished.
I totally agree, I am so sick of BJ, plus the guy has a huge attitude, he thinks that everyone owes him something. Sherk looked just as big a week or so ago. His answer to how he failed the test is very legit, and it does happen all of the time. I work for a pharmaceutical company and have friends in the lab, they say that it is more common than you think.
I’m glad Rashad is not on the card, talent or not, the guy is a prick. Clementi on a roll, think he can keep it going?????????????
Rashad was never on this card, he was on 85.
As I said in a previous thread…..go to UFC and download the photo of Sherk at the weigh in at UFC 73 and then download a photo of him at last nights weigh in.
In both photos he is striking the same pose. You will see clearly, at UFC 73 his muscles were fuller and rounder, generally more pumped.
Look closely and compare each muscle group. The obvious difference is in his traps, pecs and triceps.
Pretty sure it’s safe to say the UFC isn’t very good at arranging the cards, well not for the hardcore fans anyway. lol
GO MACHIDA!
I have to disagree with many of you. This card does not look stacked to me. Gouveia and Mendes on the main card? Really? I’m finally starting to see that 12+ PPVs and several Ultimate Fight Night cards a year is spreading things too thin. I’ll watch it because I love the sport, but I won’t buy it.
Funny how in one of the preview videos, Sherk says BJ is not the real champ because he didn’t beat the champ. Uh Sean, you won a vacant title too you tool. I don’t think he would beat a prime Jens Pulver. I don’t even think he would beat a prime Caol Uno.
lol……………very good point Pat
You do realize that there wasn’t a champ for him to beat as the UFC had restarted the LW division, right? You don’t see a difference.
let me think………….uh no!!
neither had to beat a defending champion regardless of the circumstances
Agreed. I always felt Sherks title would never be legit until he defended it multiple times.
Let’s all assault the ufc page with demands Wilson Gouvaia; or whatever his name is, who cares; is put on the under card. I’m fucking serious. We’re payin gthese guys salaries by buying these $45 PPV’s and maybe we should have a little say in who we get to see for our $. You know when you break it down, you’re paying $9 to see each fight, and for my $9 I don’t want to see fucking 205 lbs.: Goran Reljic (7-0) vs. Wilson Gouveia (10-4)! Right?!
There’s three undercard fights that would be better fights than that. I don’t have to name them cause we all know.
I’m serious people, let’s do this. If we could get spike to show another hour maybe we could get them to not show a “ehh?” fight.
If you want a say, then just don’t buy it. That’s the best way to show your disapproval.
Can we get through this just once without the same ol’ cry-baby antics?! Look at it this way…. Almost all of Reljic’s fights have been ended by sub. Wilson has a high level of ending fights early. Chances are this fight will end early which means
A)It will be an exciting fight with a clear finish
B)It will open up time for other fights to be aired, probably an undercard that also has a shortened fight time due to a finish.
I would also like to see Soko but think Nakamura will be a tough finish. That would eat a full 15 fight time on a UD. If Soko gets another highlight reel KO, we WILL get to see it. They will fit it on the broadcast so they can get hype going on him again.
Thiago will also be opening up some air time for us. Bank on it.
I can’t wait to see Wandi tear Jardine apart. Also, when it comes to the cards…The fans should be able to have some sort of say. Like if they had the fight club members or fansite memebers vote on the top “x” fights that they’d like to see and rank them. The UFC doesn’t necessarily need to use the infromation but at least they’ll have a pulse on what the fans want to see.
gouveia is on because hes fighting reljic whos meant to be the real deal. tito and sherk to ground and pound machida and blow job penn.
I’m taking Jardine over Wandy. Jardine has been improving whereas Wandy looks to be getting old and tired (if his last fight with chuck is any indication). As for Tito, we can only hope that machida woops his ass on his way out the door. GO PENN!
Tito is a great guy I think, show some respect, I hope he goes to EliteXC that will be UFC s main competition soon!! I will follow Tito and Couture wherever they fight. UFC refs suck lately, let em fight for christ sake
this isn’t the Ultimate Faggot Championship. Karo was ripped off and so was Alexander even though that was a great superman punch!!!
So did I . . . oops.
Jardine
Silva
Clementi
This is gonna be one fucked up night!!Thiago will rule. So will BJ. And of course, my man Jardine!!!
I wish Sok v. Naka replaced either the Gouveia or Thiago Silva fight on the main card (or at least have it be the swing bout. I also wouldnt mind replacing one of those fights with Etim v. Clementi. Both of these should be much more competitive than the two on the main card.
How the hell they gonna do this to SOko? Rediculous.
Can’t wait for Penn to win in dominating fashion, becoming the second person ever to finish Sherk, which will hopefully hype up a fight with the only other person to have done it.
go tito !!!!!!!!
GOOOO TITO!!!!!!!!!!
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
Tito is going to kill this kid! Other winners:
BJ
Jardine
Thiago
Tito sucks!!!!
Amen, Tito hasn’t won a fight since 2006. He can only beat a washed-up Ken Shamrock.
I wouldn’t go that far, but he’s no top 10.
Sherk is has great cardio but Penn has the skills, I know Penn will submit sherk. As for Tito and the dragon, it could go either way, I hope the dragon gives Tito a new face!!!!
yes bj bj bj!!!!
BJ Penn!!!
Machida
Wanderlei
Go BJ!
WE ALL KNOW BJ IS GOING TO KICK THAT DRUG USES ASS
I pick Sherk, Jardine, and Ortiz. Tito was 1 of my favs until his fight against Evans. Stop bn a puss and do what made you famous. Get this guy on the ground and POUND his ass. Jardine plays his cards rite he will b the next 205lb CHAMP. Shrek is a animal. Kick ass Guys
I know I’m alone on this, but Im calling a Sherk victory. I just think cardio will come into play in about round 3 and Sherk wont let up.
C-war you are not alone Sherk is going to withstand BJ’s 2 round flurry and control him in the 3rd and 4th, if it even goes to a 4. Im seeing Sherk pound him out ala just like Matt Hughes in BJ and Matts 2nd fight…
You’re supposed to start drinking when the fight starts lol
Everyone loves a good bj
Tonight I hope to enjoy a bloody BJ.
You sick fuck.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Not so much huh????
One word…Fedor!
One punctuation mark . . .?
BJ Penn via submission in 1
Wanderlei via decision
Machida via decision
Reljic via submission in round 2.
Soku via TKO in 1
Thiago via TKO in 2
Etim via decision
Yoshida via submission in 3
Toquinho via decision
Jason Tan via decision
Correction: Etim via Sub and Carwin via TKO
Also, be prepared for Penn holding the RNC after it is stopped. He looked pretty fuckin serious at the weigh-ins.
Is it just me or is it everyone.
The Tito thread is ruining my access to mmamania.
It’s preventing me from seeing all the previous threads, which I want to post on
That being said: -
BJ Penn via TKO in 2 (easily)
Wanderlei via cut stoppage
Tito via split decision (I hope…still got to love Tito)
Thiago via TKO in 2
Automation: I have the same problem wtf is going on??
If it is because of the Tito thread, then Mania take that shit out, please.
That said. These are my picks.
BJ via 1st round sub!,, Sherk .vs. BJ = easy win for BJ
Wanderlei via tko 3rd round
Machida via KO 2nd round.(yes I really think jacob’s getting KO’d).jaw-tap.one punch drop!
Gouveia via decision
Silva via TKO early 2nd…
same here, The thing with Tito messed up the rest of the main page.
Typical Tito.
who wants a bj when you can get a rj
LMAO!
in my best Eddie Murphy impersonation- “Nasty muthafucka”..lol
If BJ can take Sherks back within 2 rounds he’ll win by rn-choke. BJ will gas after 2 rounds and Sherks insane cardio will give him the title by points, split decision.
bj penn rnc
jardine tko (strikes) + (fight of the night)
wilson gouveia submission
machida tko
thiago silva tko
