Hells yeah! She was in more sporty attire this week! We’re getting ever closer to that sports-bra and thong outfit that we’ve been waiting to see.

On a side note, please replace John Anek (the host); I don’t have a good reason why…he just gets on my nerves.

Props stinky.

If Thiago wil be ready by december, why not just fight Machida then? This week, I read an interview with Machida’s manager saying Machida will probably return to action in December or January. If thats the case might as well just postpone the match up with tHiago.

But I wont complain if its Franklin vs. Machida either!

it will be either-

machida-franklin ufc91

machida-shogun ufc91

or

machida-thiago ufc92

gauranteed!

franklin has 7 days to answer and then it is up to shogun.

I dont want Shogun and Machida to fight at this point in time! Dont want to see either loose. I am a big fan of Thiago, but he can afford to loose at his young age.

I think Thiago and Shogun both have the style to beat Machida… theyre going to attack Machida and put him up against the fence, neither guy is going to stand in front of Machida and eat shots all day like his last few opponents

I dont disagree, I just dont want shogun fighting Machida coming off a long lay off and 2 bad knee injuries

Franklin McNeil is a boxing writer that made the transition to MMA. In the 1st couple of MMA Live Episodes, it was obvious that he was really green and didn’t really know what he was talking about. I doubt he even watched any of the TUF episodes he was critiqueing. He got better quick, he’s beginning to grow on me. HOWEVER, today he blew it when he said that Chuck needs to be able to take a punch.. then Florian in a graceful way explained that no one would have been able to withstand that punch from the 4oz glove Evans was wearing…lol.

McNeil still blunders here n’ there, but he seems to really work at learning the MMA game and all the fighters from different organizations. I sincerely think he’s an MMA fan now.

I agree THORAZINE, I was like “get this guy out of here” but he has improved over his sixteen or whatever webisodes. I agree as well about talking about Chuck’s chin…he was a boxing commentator, he should know what a punch like that would do to ANYONE’s brain!

I also don’t like how no one wants to offend any of the fighters…”no one came out a loser at the UFC event”…what is this, tee-ball? Speak your mind! If they can pick a winner then they can pick a loser. I thought it was either Chuck (getting knocked out like that was really bad) or Hamill just because of the perception that he has no fighter’s spirit.

I have the exact same feeling about Franklin as well…when he said that I had to laugh, come on, its not that Chuck doesnt have a chin, dude’s taken some good shots before, but if you leave an opening to take a hit like Rashad threw, then your goin down. PLus, he contradicted himself because at first he was saying some time ago that Rashad’s standup game was underated, well its either one of two things Franklin…1,) Chuck doesnt have a chin anymore, or 2.) Rashad’s got some power? Which is it???

Obviosuly its the 4 0z glove and taking a full overhand right, right on the jaw.

i liked how Kenny made a jab at Hamill’s trainer for throwing him under the bus.

I think Josh Neer will probably win. Either that, or he will be Nate Diaz biggest test so far. Remember Josh Neer beat Joe Stevenson and i’m pretty sure, that fight sent him to the light weight division.

Boo! Hoo! Rashad, nobody like you!!! He said the nipple twist was a secret thing in there camp. And it was a shout out to GSP? Couldnt they find something better to do??? Makes me think theres real “sugar” in Rashads tank?

Comment by RyanHobbs
2008-09-12 00:51:28

I don’t Rashad was makng himself out to be a victim. He was just clarifying. A lot of people were talking about it.

Rashad could have done whatever he wanted.. people are just mad at him and wants to dislike him for exposing their “Champ”..

It was really nice to see the tribute to Evan Tanner at the beginning, it was a very classy move.

That’s more than the UFC has done for him. They stuck a “RIP” image on screen for 3 or 4 seconds before Unleashed the other night. I think he deserves a lot more than that. I know these things take time to put together, but they could have at least done an all Evan Tanner episode of unleashed or something. But who knows maybe that’s still in the works…

maybe they have something planned for the next PPV.

I would think something would HAVE to be in the works. And to do it the right/classy way, it will take a little time.

Rashad had a good point. He did a little celebration but if he was knocked out Liddel would have done the wide arm sprint around the cage and no one would have called it showboating.

I do think it’s funny that he is “respectful” to Chuck but he said that he was hit harder in practice than Chuck hit him in the ring. Way to sneak that in…

SugarTits was a classic line btw DBG

I don’t mind someone bragging and celebrating when they win. It’s good to show that you worked hard for something, it was worth it, and you are glad you did it… makes others want to feel that.
