KARO PARISYAN INJURED FIGHT SCRAPPED.HOPE LAMBERT/MCDONALD GETS PROMOTED TO THE MAIN CARD.

Comment by ViolentMike
2008-09-05 14:09:59

I hope Pellegrino and Tavarez goes to main card. Speaking of which, the odds to the undercard fights are now on BetUs. Here they are:

116 Thiago Tavares -300
117 Kurt Pellegrino +200

10:00p
119 Tim Boetsch -500
120 James Lee +300

10:00p
122 Dong Hyun Kim -450
123 Matt Brown +275

10:00p
125 Roan Carneiro -110
126 Ryo Chonan -130

7:30p
128 Jason McDonald -170
129 Jason Lambert +130

I see Pellegrino having better than a 33% chance at beating Tavarez. I was hoping to get Stun Gun at like -200 but that would have been a dream come true. So I just did a parlay on Kurt/Stun Gun/Liddell. That parlay is paying out at a little over 4-1. I don’t have much available money in my account right now because it is all tied up between this UFC event, NFL football week 1, and BROCK LESNAR!

To win, or risking?

ALSO, for NFL I am liking (with the spreads) Jets, Patriots and Eagles

Stun Gun is apparently the only nick name cool enough to be mentioned in the weigh in results.

I think Shogun has the perfect skill set to beat Machida, agressive, good striking, well rounded take down and jiu jitsu

They should get Wand in there and get shogun-Rampage II. No point in Wand stomping on rampage a third time. Such a shame though, this totally fucks up everything.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Friday announced that the scheduled bout between Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida for Saturday night’s UFC 88 in Atlanta has been scrapped.

Little information is known, as the fight was little more than 24 hours away from the bell. The UFC, however, did indicate that a last-minute back injury has forced Parisyan to withdraw.

Karo should be thrown out of the UFC. He is bad in every way for the sport.

Comment by Gord

He had a panic attack and faked the back injury. How the hell did he injure his back? He should be training light the last week before the fight.

I personally want to see Mike Patt vs. Tim Boetsch promoted to the main card because I think that fight is going to be an incredible one.

Also, Pelligrino vs. Tavarez is a do or die fight, so that should be good as well.

Does anybody else think that Jason Lambert will not make weight?

Comment by Chase
2008-09-05 14:49:45

It’s not like he was huge for 205, he had alot of fat on him, I see him making weight, And hopfully he’ll be a force in this division.

Comment by belfort_fan

His man-boobs are the only reason to watch him. They make me want to give him a dollar.

LOL PW, HE looks like he could drop to 170, and even then he’d probbaly still have man tits.

I order EVERY PPV, The you invited 8 or 9 buddies over, and It turns into a 5 dollar event, I always here people complaining about the 45 dollars, Guess some people don’t have many friends …

Comment by cmon
2008-09-05 16:01:40

Maybe they are too busy to make friends because of all the working to pay for $45 dollar PPVs every month.

Go to a bar and don’t get crazy with the drinks. I have yet to spend $45 at Buffalo Wild Wings and I usually get 4-5 beers and food.

I think I am going to be the only person on these threads to say…Rashad will out box Chuck to a UD win.
Dan TKO R2
Rich TKO R2
Kampmann UD
Stun Gun TKO R1 (I am assuming this gets bumped to main card)

Can anybody who watched the weigh-ins tell me, did Hammill appear to have a significant size advantage against Franklin?

no but Chuck looked like shit.

Comment by b.w.
2008-09-05 20:30:41

BRANDON. it was hard to tell from the video and alot of them looked pretty gaunt from the cut. it will be alot easier to tell tommorow night when they stand face to face after rehydrating. and chuck did look like $hit, but he always does. it still a little shocking when he takes off his shirt and he has that fat hanging from his gut. he then usually goes out and puts on a great fight.

people that buy the ppv are the ones to keep everything going, so keep that for yourself.

Comment by Chadx23
2008-09-05 20:40:04

I wouldnt go that far….but as a Chuck fan, if Rashad wins convincingly….there would be no more reason for me to route for Chuck anymore. I hate it when the older guys go out in shame, and if Chuck loses to Rashad, that will be shamefull

Comment by The Matt King
2008-09-05 21:55:50

Come on guys… Chuck aint gonna lose to Rashad. I’m sorry if you’re a Rashad fan, but it’s time to chalk up a loss, even with Chucks beer gut. I do keep hoping at every weigh in that we will see a huge, ripped Chuck, but it never happens :( Even with a loss here, he’d still go down in history as one of the greatest.
