After several delays, UFC President Dana White this week finally revealed his “major” announcement that Lorenzo Fertitta was shifting his focus as casino mogul to a full-time hands-on position as UFC owner.
If that wasn’t big enough, the promotion drops another bomb that had the entire mixed marital arts world buzzing: Anderson “Spider” Silva will take on James Irvin in a light heavyweight showdown during the main event at UFC Fight Night 14 on July 19.
We can view this move in two ways:
- White and Co. get to stick it to Affliction MMA by running a FREE show the same night as the promotion’s much-ballhooed pay-per-view (PPV) debut.
- It gives casual fans — perhaps those who don’t order PPVs — a rare opportunity to see arguably the most dominant fighter in the world today strut his stuff before a massive nationwide audience.
Regardless of how you feel, it is possibly the beginning of Silva putting another stamp on what is likely a legendary career. If he can do what Dan Henderson did overseas in Pride FC, for example, holding two belts in two separate divisions simultaneously, well, he will indeed be the man.
It’s going to be interesting to see if he will be as quick at light heavyweight as he was at middleweight. Silva has stated that he walks around at about 215 pounds when he’s not training. Therefore, weight should not be much of an issue.
And if it makes him even more powerful and dangerous … watch out.
The possible fights he could have at light heavyweight right now are monstrous. Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson are all dream match ups, which would more than likely generate unreal interest and profits.
Let’s remember: This move up in weight is only temporary. In fact, if all goes well he could still defend his 185-pound title and headline UFC 88: “Breakthrough” against Yushin Okami in September.
In this sport, of course, not everything goes according to plan. Irvin could very well shock the world and upend the Brazilian — he can’t be overlooked.
Irvin may have had some ups and down in the past year, but he’s a dangerous fighter nonetheless. He’s not a top 10 205-pound fighter by any means, but when it comes to striking he can hold his own.
The most exciting aspect in this fight is the fact that someone’s getting knocked out. Irvin has no ground game that I’m aware of, so of course he’ll be looking for the knockout. And Silva can destroy Irvin on the ground as well as striking.
On paper, it’s a fight that Silva should win nine times out of 10. But again … never say never in MMA.
As for middleweight competition, if Silva fights and gets passed Okami he will essentially cleared the middleweight division. Guys like Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping are still nowhere near the level of Silva right now.
It’s all about going down as the greatest fighter ever for Anderson, and if takes him to move up to 205 then so be it.
Put simply, Anderson Silva is well on his way as establishing himself as the greatest fighter to ever step foot inside the Octagon. And the only way to do that is to continue fighting the best opponents available, whether it’s at middleweight, light heavyweight or who knows, heavyweight.
Nothing he does at this point would be too shocking.
Enjoy the run while you can folks … it maybe years before we ever this reign of dominance again. Silva is a legend in the making.
MMA news and notes
UFC 2009 video game first trailer to debut tonight: One of the most anticipated video game trailers this year — UFC 2009 — will finally be revealed tonight at 1 a.m. ET on Spike TV. If the teaser trailer that debuted at E3 earlier this year is any indication, this could be best MMA-themed game ever. In addition, having an MMA game is important tool to help the growth of the sport — fighters will soon become household names.
DREAM 5 Lightweight Grand Prix Finals set for July 21: This tournament is single-handedly bringing the Japanese MMA scene back up to the forefront. Although it still has a long way to go in terms of being back in the mainstream of the country, it’s still a great start. The final four match ups were announced this week and all of them have the potential to be instant classics. Tournament favorite Tatsuya Kawajiri is going against the dark horse, Eddie Alvarez, and the sickest submission fighter in the world, Shinya Aoki, is looking to add an MMA legend in Japan, Caol Uno, to his hit list. Picking a clear cut winner is tough. Many fans are going with Kawajiri to win the whole thing but I think that Eddie Alvarez (my tournament pick) can win this fight as well. It’s going to be a special night come July 21.
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 7 Finale quick picks:
- Kendall Grove
- Diego Sanchez
- CB Dollaway
- Spencer Fisher
- Matthew Riddle
Let’s end this week’s edition of Throwdown by saying that it’s officially time for Kazushi Sakuraba to retire from the sport. There is no longer any benefit to keep fighting if you continue to end up in another fighter’s highlight reel.
Just ask Matt Hughes right now.
One must give credit where credit is due: Melvin Manhoef is the real deal and I still don’t understand the reason UFC or Elite XC executives have not signed this animal to a contract already. I understand he’s signed with K-1, but that hasn’t stopped any fighters before and I can see him causing some serious damage in the middleweight division in either promotion.
Next week in the Throwdown we’ll begin to highlight the three main fights that will headline UFC 86: “Jackson vs. Griffin” on July 5. We’ll begin with a potential fight of the night battle between Marcus Aurelio and Tyson Griffin. It’s a fight that could have some serious implications in what is already a stacked UFC lightweight division.
Until next week folks, I’ll see you right back here in the Throwdown!

His wins over Franklin and Henderson will be much more impressive than a win over Irvin.. That’s just how I feel.
ATTENTION!
Tito Ortiz will be sitting in the front row tonight at the TUF Finale. I will post what TIto said he was going to do to Dana white tonight:
“Dana is going to get a SLAP!!! This weekend. I will be front row and walk up and slap him! just watch when I get kick out, you will know why. THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dana is my BITCH!!!!”
-Jacob Ortiz
I saw it too lol. Jenna wants Tito’s baby so I wouldn’t slap Dana if he intends to have kids lol.
BTW, did you see the mess of Mrs Couture in her first fight?? OMG lol
Yeah, happy to see Yoko Ono Couture get busted up!
Tito said he will walk up to Dana at tonights TUF Finale and slap Dana right in his face. Tito will be sitting front row tonight.
Anyone think Tito will actually do this?
No he’s a pussy.
As much as I’m a fan of Silva, I still cant see him being dominant at LHW. Theres still about 4 MW fights, Okami, Hendo rematch, winner of Cote/Almeda, and Bisping. Then he would have definatly cleared out the division. I think Irvin is a perfect opponent, Irvins got a decent enough name. Not like Vera who chose a no namer. That said, I hope the spider does well at LHW.
I think your off, Okami is the only dude Silva needs to worry about. Cote and Almeda could try to fight Silva but I think they’ll end up looking like Leben there. Also its interesting cause Hendo could fight Silva at LHW too, making the fight more explosive and giving Hendo a better chance. Beside that point I’m sure Silva will continually defend his belt against challengers but they should throw the challengers against Franklin first so that way they don’t waste Silva’s time lol
ha if he does that would be amazing
Dude Dana won’t even let Tito in the building. Remember when Nate Diaz fought in TUF finale. Dana wouldn’t even let Nick in the building to corner him. If Tito has already announced this I gaurentee we won’t see Tito’s face tonight.
wrong bnf, you need a license to be a corner, he didn’t have one. he was there just not able to corner. this is a ridiculous comment from a smart guy, you see randy cornering all the time, that would be the guy they wouldn’t let in!
You might be right, but I remember Nate being upset and actually talking sh%t about it on the mike. I assumed it was due to personal issues. Why would Nate call out the UFC if it was their fault? And I still don’t think we will see Tito there tonight.
I also remember Nate saying they wouldn’t even let Nick in the building. What is that all about? You do have a point about Randy. Funny how the camera guys are instructed to not even show his face.
Jenna’s vagina is the size of the vagina that Jacob is. To simplify — both are HUGE vaginas.
I hope Dana knocks Tito out!
anderson is great, The greatest? no, not yet. Not even top 3 …(yet) He has beat franklin 2 (he just has this guys number) One could say beating HENDO was impressive, but seeing hendo through out his career in pride, I gotta say he def wasnt the usual HENDO im used to seeing. One more dominating win over him would certainly do it for me! as far as his other wins, yes hes beat most in his division(no real true proven standout though except HENDO IMO).
I just dont think hes beat those “legendary” mma guys yet that are at their peak still like the GSPs, the BJ penns, or the lidells, quintons, machidas, or wanderleis to really be considered top dog. Much respect to what he has done so far though, but he needs to fight some of these guys to cement himself now not later. Marquardt, franklin, etc ARE not wanderlei, lidell, machida like competition so time will tell!
In case you are wondering what i mean when i say not even top 3 or 4 (yet)etc im talking about fighters that have dominated for an immense period of time so top 3 or 4 im refering to WANDERLEI (dominated for years) NOGUERA and FEDOR!! yes, FEDOR!!!!! HE DEF HAS PROVEN more …key word (so far). Even if some of you dont agree just because he hasnt fought in 1 1/2, you cant take away who hes beat so far! (hoping he doesnt lose to sylvia as im saying this LOL)
But i really do hope anderson continues to win so he leaves no doubt. Hes by far one of the most exciting fighters out there right now.
Irvin is a good solid 205 pound fighter, a win against him in IMO could warrant the spider to fight in both weight classes.
irvin is going to knock him the fu#$ out. i promise this. Anderson silva is way overated, (he cleard out the whole division) he hasnt even touched to bases of the division.
By stating that Silva is over-rated, you have essentially destroyed any credibility you may have once had. That was possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
I agree! this guy does not know his mma
Silva is over-rated??? Nobody in the UFC has managed to make it past the second round with Silva. Not even Dan Henderson, the guy that took Rampage the distance. Chipdog obviously knows NOTHING about MMA.
it’s funny how you said ” everyone ” i could see if he’s fought all of the top 10. you still got Okami, mcdonald, horn , bisping, tanner. Then you could say he is bad ass.
Let me start by saying that I too expect Eddie Alvarez to win the Grand prix.
Also, props to Anderson for Taking this fight. Although he is in a class above Irving, Irving is still a dangerous Dude. I expect Silva to dominate, of course, but I will put it tou this way, I give IUrving more of a chance to beat silva, than I do Forrest of beating Rampage.
Not Only should the UFC sign ManHoeff, but they should sign more Dutch Kickboxers in General. Those Dutch dudes are Muy Tai specialists. I would love to see dutch guys like Manhoeff, Overeem in the uFC. UFC lacks Dutch fighters, get on that Dana!
Wow have you ever seen an Anderson Silva fight? I agree that there are still fights for him at 185 cleaning out the division takes more than what he’s done (not taking anything away from the amazing feats he has accomplished and not mentioning the amount of money he has made me!). But He will destroy Irving and will continue to destroy any one put in front of him at 185.Okami, Cote and Bisping will all fall to him if given the chance to fight for the title. Gsp at 185 will be the most interesting match-up but will have the same result. Point is Anderson will dominate 185 for the next 2 years easy if he stays there. His bigest tests will be hanging with the likes of Chuck, Wandy and other top 10 light heavies.
I think Silva is one of the greatest fighters around and that he’ll beat Irvin but I am going out on a limb and saying that Okami is going to beat him. Again I think he could take Okami but I’m just calling an upset there. Okami is almost like the Machida of the MW division. But he’s still ranked number 4 in my book as a MW.
uhhhh franklin, lutter, marquardt, franklin, henderson … i think i listed all, and in the right order. And don’t forget that he knocked out the punching bag (chris leben) in under a minute. I really hope you’re joking
maybe chipdog just hopped from the houston alexander bandwagon onto the irvin one after their last fight. but what your are saying is Blasphemy, It’s Madness
Nobody in the tournament can beat Shinya. Expect him to submit/smother his way to a tournament victory.
Caol Uno is going to do it, and he’s going to win the tourny IMO.
Kick him into the well.
I’m the biggest fan of silva, ever since his times fighting in Brazil for MECA, or out there in cage rage - where he delivered the sickest knockout ever IMO against Tony Fryklund- and Pride - where he was the receiving end of the sickest submission ever IMO against Ryo Chonan -
But, it’s still a bit hard to think that he’ll be able to walk through a division, without losing with guys like liddell, rampage, wandi, machida (unlikely to happen, because I highly doubt they will ever fight). We can still expect fights against GSP and Penn.
If he delivers it, then the ufc will have to build him a statue (did i spell it right?). He will be the best fighter, EVER, and not only in the octagon. (IMO, the best fighter to ever set foot in the octagon is chuck liddell)
I agree with everything you have to say, so thanks for making it so that I do not have to type it myself. haha. Chuck is my favorite of all time, but I am not sure if he is the best ever, other than that, spot on.
On a side note, if Chuck could beat Rampage someway, and then defend the title against Jardine (to avenge his loss) and Wandy for a second time, then I would say that he would go down as the g.o.a.t.
That is asking a bit though.
Cristiano do Brasil: Bom, eu concordo com a maioria do que voce falou. Mas tenho um pergunta por voce…como um cara do melhor pais do mundo vai dizer que alguem do EUA eh o melhor lutador do UFC??? Aquele cara nem sabe lutar no chao. O Aranho Silva eh dez de brigar tanto de pe quanto no chao. O Liddell faz de tudo a nao ter que lutar no chao. Lembra daquela primeira briga entre Liddell e Couture? Couture consegiu ganhar por derrubar o Liddell toda vez que ele consegiu ficar de pe. Tambem, agora que o Liddell tem pessoas com habilidades de brigar no 205, ele ja estah perdendo muito. Bom, de verdade, eu so queria te mostrar que eu sei falar sua idioma! Nao tem muitas opertunidades pratica-la! Falou
RedDog- vc eh maluco cara! Eu sou Americano mas pra dizer que o Liddell nao sabe lutar no chao?!! vc sabe de nada, ele era lutador de luta livre no faculdade meu, ele sabe lutar no chao, mas ele tem maos de tijola! Vou dizer isso. . .Liddell derrobou Wanderlei, quem chegou a ser geracao 6 no chute box. Silva so chegou a geracao 2! como pode falar que ele eh muito melhor que Liddell sem eles lutar?? Eu acho que nove vezes de dez Henderson Ganha Silva, Silva foi sorteado muito nao perder quando estava monteada no primeiro round. TOMA!
outra coisa malandro. Melhor pais do mundo??? ta brincando?? Vc realmente acha Brasil tem os melhores lutadores, que vergonha! Shogun perdeu o Forrest!! tambem acho que foi engano, mas foi esse mesma orgulho do Shogun que fez ele perdeu. Rampage esta lutando melhor na divisao que todos. . Americano. BJ Penn sabe lutar em todos os divisoes, Silva ainda nao mostrou isso. Vamos Ver, mas chega com esse Brasil eh o melhor de tudo besteira. Adoro Brasil, mas voces enche muito saco cara.
Haglnuts….Estava querendo encher saco mesmo! Mas so para debater um pouco…eu sei que o Liddell fazia luta livre na faculdade, mas isto nao quer dizer que ele sabe lutar bem no chao! Voce nao viu a luta entre ele e o Couture?? Liddell nao conseguia fazer nada para defender o derrobado. Alem disso, Liddel eh velho demais. Alem disso, Todo mundo tem Silva em primeiro lugar nas listas de melhor lutador do mundo. Alem disso, nem tantos Brasileiros lutam quanto americanos mas mesmo assim, tem tantos brasileiros que sao campionatos das divisoes. Ha alguns outros que um dia podem ser…Thiago Alves, Thiago Silva, etc.
Era uma brincadeira eu falar do Brasil como o melhor pais do mundo…mesmo assim, voce tem que se calmar um pouco e tenha orgulho de seu pais. Eu nem sou do brasil mas eu amo mesmo aquele pais. Por que tem tanta raiva dele?
haglnuts…take some pride in the country where you served your mission, it wasn’t all that bad was it?
I guess I feel like starting some debate tonight. I want to send a challenge out to everyone who knows more than me about MMA. I am going to throw my cards out on the table too. I have been a big fan of the sport for the past two years (I do not claim to be any expert). I get FIGHT! magazine and love this site. I check it every day. I have a buddy who is training right now down in South Carolina, and this is my favorite sport. I do not have years and years of knowledge under my belt.
My challenge is to those who claim the Affliction card will be a huge deal - why should I watch that instead of free UFC? Here is the way I am looking at it now. 1) Since I have been a fan of MMA I have only heard about Fedor, how he is considered one of the top pound-for-pounders in the world, how Randy Couture wanted to fight him, etc. 2) I haven’t ever heard too much about / seen any of his big fights (maybe point me in the right direction, I’d like to see some solid Fedor proof that he is one of the best in the sport) - therefore currently he seems like a lot of hype to me until I gain any further knowledge 3) I know that Anderson Silva is the real deal, I have seen him dominate huge names in MMA (and couldn’t believe when he bested Dan Henderson)
So ultimately why pay for an unsure thing when I can watch a sure thing for free? I am just looking for legit conversation - nothing else, thanks.
Go to youtube and type in Fedor! That said, I won’t disagree with you too much. I will be getting affliction, but I’ve been into mma for 10+ years, and order every ppv. I don’t believe affliction will do mor than 25,000 ppv’s, nor do I think they’ll make any money! They aren’t marketing it right, and realistically have 2 “names” that casual fans will know. Fedor ISN’T one of them! You are a perfect example as to what I’ve been talking about all week, a fan for 2 years and only have “heard” of Fedor. All these guys that argue what a draw he is, don’t realize that most people have no idea who he is! He hasn’t had a meaningful fight in a couple years and is not marketable to the US fans (sice he doesn’t speak english). I also feel the addition of megadeath is detrimental to the card, from a hardcore fans standpoint!
Those who say I’m negative or just a ufc fan…wrong! I love dream, and watch the elite shows too (the cbs show was terrible)! I’m very critical of the sport I love, and call it as I see it!
theTRON: Recently, Fedor’s fame is based mostly on hype as he hasn’t fought top talent in a couple of years. His hype is based on his 28-1 mma record and for having defeated a who’s who of mma heavyweights. Some notables are: Babaloo Sobral, Minotauro Nogueira who is the current UFC HW champ (he beat him twice and they fought to a no contest a third time), Kevin Randleman, Mirko Cro Cop, Gary Goodridge, Mark Coleman, and on and on. If you want to see a fight that demonstrates how impressive he is, check out
http://www.gofish.com/player.gfp?gfid=30-1001517
especially at 1:08 into the fight. I was very impressed with Fedor but he seems like he’s been avoiding top competition of late. I don’t know if it’s him or his management but to me it’s about constantly proving yourself. He’s finally stepped back up to fight Sylvia, finally! Now we can better judge just how good he really is as Sylvia just came from the UFC. With all that said, I’ll be watching UFC Fight Night 14 and catch the Sylvia/Fedor fight at some point online. Hope this helped in some way.
I think to compare Silva and Fedor would be hard. Their weights and styles of fighting don’t really match up well. Silva is a technical striker while Fedor can just throw some hard punches and has some solid ground skills where Silva is still a little iffy on his wrestling. Anyway your right that Afflictions first card won’t be a huge draw. Fedor is not that marketable yet so his first card will be to give him credibility. Fedor beats Sylvia the number 5 HW in the world and he gets his cred back. It also makes him the best HW currently because not only did he beat Sylvia then he also beat the current HW champ in the UFC. And this is where the big draw comes from. I think if he beats Sylvia Couture will be his next fight and Affliction is willing to pay the money to make it happen. Affliction may not have done a good job getting this card well known but once Randy is in the scene it will happen like clock work. I guess though I’ve avoided convincing you to watch the Affliction card over the UFC one but I say whats the point of watching any card when you can just find the fight on the internet for free? So do what you want, I’ll be watching the Affliction fight, I know what Silva is going to do and thats dominate
What you do is order the Affliction card, invite people over and have them pitch in for the fight, and DVR the UFC card. When you get about 10 people over to watch, that gets it doen around 5 dollars a person, So I have no idea why some people complain about the PPV cost unless your a loner and don’t have friends that have the same interest as you. Or maybe just don’t have any friends !
Come on man, why does this always turn into bashing? “Maybe just don’t have any friends!” I specifically put in my post - LOOKING FOR LEGIT CONVERSATION. Caps may make it easier to read I guess. Didn’t see any points on why Fedor is worth my time - which is what I was looking for. I will wait for a response with more substance. Thanks though!
who exactly complained man? the guy asked a legit question, and obviously hasn’t watched mma for that long. He was curious where to watch fedor fights and asked about affliction. most people on;y know silvia, arlovski and babalu, so I persona;;y thought it was a valid question. Of course you’re probably one of the mullet sporting guys with tons of metal heads excited for megadeath. Invite your friends and split the costs, and enjoy your concert liddell-gsp!
If anything Manhoef is a great marketable fighter, even if his ground game is somewhat suspect, he is the perfect fighter to adopt a sprawl and brawl style.
Reminds me of Wanderlei when he first was coming up in PRIDE, just dominant power and aggression.
Hoping Manhoef comes to fight in the UFC, very exciting fighter with a lot of years left in him to learn defensive ground game and become a great(er) MMA fighter.
Irvin has KO power in his strikes Anderson has close but not there. Irvin will win this fight just like when i said Irvin would more then likely beat Houston. Irvin is under-rated by far and should prove it soon enough. Hopefully his injuries are healed and hes 100%for this fight otherwise it wlll be a bad night for him.
lol, I like Irvin, but his chances of winning this fight is slim. you young guys need to realize that Anderson silva cuts to 185. He won’t be under sized, and will do just fine a lhw. yes, anything can happen, but Houston Alexander is a one trick pony, and couldn’t carry silva’s jock!
you young guys?????? pfff
Get off my lawn you whippersnapper.
irvin will come out looking strong and bully him a bit but will eventually get caught and probably go down in the 1st rnd maybe second rnd. never bet against the spida he wins this 9 times out of 10
Fellas I have to tell ya I have a feeling Irvin might come out on top of this one. I think Silva is going to go into this fight thinking its nothing more than a place setter but a guy like Irvin has nothing to lose. He has fast hands and knock out power from both hands, elbows, and knees. I think Irvin is the best pure striker Silva has fought thus far in the UFC and if he takes him lightly it might be a short night. Believe me Silva better take this fight to the ground sooner rather than later…
Silva was eager to box Roy Jones Jr. Why do you think that was?
Maybe because he’s confident he could hang with him! Irving will pose no threat to Anderson. My personal opinion is that moving between the weight classes of 205 and 185 either way is the easiest of any and has the least effect on fighters performances. i don’t think speed changes much between these divisions neither does cardio for Silva. This will be a typical Anderson Silva fight in that it will be stopped within 2 round with his hand being raised. No surprises here. If you’re looking for an upset look elsewhere.
AGREED 100%
silva should have picked a less dangerous lhw to start off. bonner or hammil, big names but strikers, i think irvin wins this and then goes into the title mix
Silva is going to get Overpowered and Knocked the F out.
Silva is going to get KTFO.
Been a while lads!
This is great news for me, as I would love to see the spider tested against the likes of liddell, rampage, wand etc….
I have to say however I really think liddell is a certainty in that fight as im not sure anderson could knock him out with hands and would rely too much on the knees, which would take him right in to danger city!!!!!! One outcome there a liddell knock out, exciting fight though, i really hope it happens!!!!
the ufc has to become versatile like this in order to get the fights the fans want and the ufc needs with the likes of affliction putting on decent fight cards aswell now!!
how about, GSP vs Penn, Liddell vs spider, Rampage vs Wand, Bisping vs Franklin and so on,,,,,oooooooh it would be Grrrrrrrreat!!!!
i like james irvin and the sandman is probably the best tagname in the business.i remember the film well scary geezer.the sanmans muay thai is good very powerful but watching him train and fight its very stodgy compared to silvas fluidness silva 1st round ko.and the reason the ufc wont sign manhoef is because he fought cyborg in cage rage and after 1 round they both were shot with there hands by their sides just throwing shots and hoping for the ko melvin won due to cyborgs exhaustion but its a bad advert for the ufc to have guys with tat cardio.its makes guys look like glorified brawlers(not that manhoef isnt skilled)
your guys’ names should all be “I heart Anderson Silva!” lol, why was this article only about this one guy? I thought these articles were normally about several upcoming fights? What about Monson/Rodriguez? What about the finale tonight?
Whats with all the one liner predictions? I guess it’s all part of being a devoted fan, but like most of you, I’ve been watching UFC (admittedly almost only UFC) since the beginning. Everytime I see a post that simply says “—– is going to get KTFO” it puzzles me. After all the fights we’ve seen, I don’t get it. Sure, half of us turn out to be right. The other half, wrong, and still making predictions. I know it sucks to have to put together more than five words to make a point, but surely we can have a more thorough debate. Why can’t you all be more like your big brothers (ViolentMike, MRnc17, Kevin).
Oh yeah, Irvin will get KTFO!
No way, Silva will get KTFO!
Yes, I’m responding to myself, pathetic, huh?
So, you’ll be tuning in to the Affliction card just to hear Megadeath perform Sweating Bullets?
I will be absoluteley be watching the Affliction fights, muting the volume during Megadeth. The “almost only UFC” qoute is only to honestly state that I have only recently been introduced to the grander world of MMA. That is in large part to this most informative website.
i believe the same thing for st. pierre right now that he will be as dominant as silva. a fight between them would be real intresting. i wanna say st. pierre would dominate with the wresling but thats what people said about hendo too.
hey kevin, what is ur link in ur name suppose to lead to?
for some reason u give me the impression that you are kevin Iole from yahoo
