how long till this show makes it onto the network???
i hope soon. i enjoy it every week, and tink it would fit right in on espn or espn2.
I think it is a pretty good show too. I could see it ending up on ESPN 2, but maybe at around midnight.
Big john McCarthy will go back to refereeing soon!
Royce Gracie comments on Lyoto and BJ.
MMAyou.com: Which of the new generation of fighters do you enjoy watching?
Gracie: Man, the last two fights that I saw and I watched and I told everybody, “that was a school on strategy” was Lyoto Machida against Tito Ortiz and BJ Penn when he fought in the same UFC. Man that was a school in strategy. Both of them! BJ Penn and Lyoto man. The fighters that they fought, they’re very tough, they’re very good, they’ve been in the top game for a while but those two just pulled out strategy man. A lot of people don’t use strategy, they just come in and duke it out, be a tough… But those two on that night they showed strategy. That was a school in strategy right there. I appreciate that.

Interview with UFC Champion Royce Gracie
Florian needs to lose his “aahs” and “uhms” when he’s speaking.
I want to see Diego Sanchez vs. Thiago Alves. That fight would be fireworks. Winner gets Fitch/GSP.
Although I think it would be a great fight, Diego will have to get another win before it happens. If Koschek wins his next fight. Diego vs Kos II will be a possibility.
Diego Vs Kos II is a fight I would love to see. Also Alves Vs Swick would be interesting.
Koschek WILL NOT beat chris Lytle, still I would book Kos vs. Diego 3 Next. After all, Diego just got back to his winning ways, so a fight against Kos on a 1 fight loosing streak is still a possibility in my mind!
Diego vs. Alves would also be very appealing.
I just hope that someone knocks Swick out in his next fight…I realy cant stand him as a fighter. I have never found him to be exciting!
diego vs kos 3 has to be made. there was alot left on the table after their last fight. diego looked great against luigi imo. he couldnt come close to taking luigi down and still dominated him. thats the difference between guys like diego and matt hughes, diego is able to evovle as a fighter while hughes cant. if that was luigi vs hughes a week ago, luigi would have won easly. he had a great takedownn defense and hughes cant do anything unless on top an hughes cant take people downn as easy as he used to. serra will dominnate hughes imo, but i think hughes realizes this and will probably retire after his recent knee injury.
I highly doubt Serra will dominate Hughes, simply because Serra can’t dominate anyone. Yes, he did beat GSP, and I have to give him credit for it, but he got raped in the second fight. Every fight he had in the TUF season went to decision, and all were boring. I still think Lytle won the Finale, but I am not a fan of either. Serra hasn’t subbed anyone in about 6 years, and Hughes has done very well against good BJJ guys with poor wrestling. (Royce Gracie comes to mind)
Unless Serra somehow makes that fight a boxing match, I see him losing via GnP or decision.
good stuff
i still don’t like diego at 170… i think he’s a better fit for 155… as much as i hate kos, i think he’d dominate diego again…
I don’t think he would be able to make 15. That being said, I think Kos would win too.
155, obviously he can’t make 15.
the female broadcaster looks really awkward. haha.
Kos sucks. Diego lost there fight because he didn’t fight Kos. Kos didn’t earn that, it was given to him. That is diego’s falt. Not anymore. The man is back and understands that you can leave this sport as fast as you Kos is a great wrestler, but not a great fighter until he shows it. You guys must watch his training and not his fights.
