Show starts in about 5 minutes...

I'll post prelim results AFTER the show incase they have time to air them. Should be a GREAT event tonight.

Is this the one in Northern Ireland or is that the next one?

HUGE NEWS: Winner of Chuck/Rampage WILL fight Dan Henderson (PRIDE 185 & 205 Champion) next.

[Gabriel]

So I guess the PRIDE deal did go through, and Zuffa's not too worried about keeping it alive. Either way... Liddell or Rampage against Dan Henderson will be a hell of a fight.

Kalib Starnes d. Chris Leben by Unanimous Decision.

As long as they continue to bill Henderson as a PRIDE fighter, and don't unify belts or pull any of the WWE/WCW garbage, they should be fine then.

HOLY CRAP!!!

HOUSTON ALEXANDER D. KEITH JARDINE BY FIRST ROUND KO... WOWOWOWOWOW

I'm in the same boat as you Biggz , so far my predictions are way off. I just hope Liddel can get the win tonight

Karo Parisyan d. Josh Burkman by unanimous decision

Din Thomas d. Jeremy Stephens by armbar in the 2nd. (Stephens tried to argue with Big John but he saved your career pal)

All I can say is wow to this event..... quite a few upsets tonight

2007: Expect the unexpected.

[Toe]

Jackson beating Chuck should not be considered an upset, he is a highly skilled fighter who had already beaten Chuck before!

Chris Leben should have won his fight against Kaleb. Chris was far more active and Kaleb only seemed to be able to do anything with 5 seconds left in any round. When Starnes had Leben down, he couldn't do anything with it.

[Gabriel]

Jackson over Chuck is definately not an upset, but it was being built up by the UFC to make everyone just assume that Chuck was going to walk out with the win. With that kind of buildup, it wouldn't suprise me to see lots of people consider it an upset.

[Docpepper]

I knew Jackson was a hell of a fighter but I wanted Chuck to get the win tonight. Both guys are great and maybe they'll be a chance of a another meeting between the two so I can actually watch the fight.

I did pretty terrible predictions wise

[Tits McGee]

Usually the challenger for a title fight is always the underdog.. thats the way I was seeing it before Chuck got KTFO.

A couple fights seemed a bit off with the reffing. Martin/Salaverry seemed a little premature.

Edited May 27, 2007 by Tits McGee

[ACCBiggz]

Salaverry was out from the slam, no fight was premature... the only one that was questionable was what took them so long to stop Alexander from destroying Jardine, lol.
