Gene Kiniski Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 So are you telling that Machida and Danielson shared an apartment at one point? That's epic. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 In a good news/bad news situation... Big Nog is injured () but gets replaced for his UFC 119 mainevent against Frank Mir with Mirko Cro Cop. While I am going to miss it in all likelihood this is a much more interesting fight to me, and will allow us to see if Cro Cop really is worthy of hanging with the high up heavyweights following his lacklustre previos outings aginst the like of JDS, Kongo and Gonzaga, and whether his recent wins have been purely down to opponents of a low calibre.

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 In a really good news story, MMA is being legalized and regulated in Ontario. That first show at the Rogers Centre is going to have a great atmosphere. There are reports that UFC has put a hold on the stadium for March 26, and other reports (seemingly only from mainstream media, not MMA media) that GSP/Koscheck might be held back a few months for that show. It's probably not the right business move to do that because the first show will sell out regardless of GSP involvement, but it'd be one heck of an atmosphere if they did do that.

Enter Blue Guy Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Man, if it wasn't for "Toronto" prices, I'd be all over this news. The first event in Toronto will break ticket price records, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Yeah but surely the 500 deck will be cheap. I mean, you won't be able to see a single thing and might as well be at home/in a bar, but they can't charge too much up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Lesnar/Velasquez is official at 121, with Shields/Kampmann and Ortiz/Hamill as the co-features. Card looks wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie913 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 So i'm going to be at the UFC Fan Expo in Boston on Friday and Saturday, then at UFC 118 Saturday night. I'm fucking jazzed. Friday can't come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Dana White said that Silva/Sonnen 2 will happen and it would either be on a New Years Eve event or on a February event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I don't know that UFC should be running New Years' Eve, I think a lot of their audience will be looking for other things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie913 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yeah, Breen went on a whole rant once about how New Year's Eve events would never work in America as they do in Japan do to the cultural differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Meltzer suggested on his podcast yesterday that there's a huge announcement coming for UFC fans in the UK, but wouldn't say what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 And in other news, Belfort/Okami will main event the Germany show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MIL Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Couple questions from somebody looking to catch their first live UFC show in over fifteen years... 1) What time does the show start? 2) Who should I be betting on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 10pm ET .. The main 2 fights my money would be on couture and Penn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Couple questions from somebody looking to catch their first live UFC show in over fifteen years... 1) What time does the show start? 2) Who should I be betting on? Show starts at 10, but a couple fights will be shown on Spike starting at 9. Bet on Couture absolutely, Penn's probably the next most likely to win even though he lost the first time around, beyond that Joe Lauzon's maybe the only other name where I'd be significantly surprised if he lost.

Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Bet on Toney. It's going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Reuben Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yeah, the easy bets tonight are Penn, Couture, Lauzon, Maia, Miller, and I'm hoping I'm not underestimating Maynard when I throw him in that list. EDIT: I mean, Florian in that list. I'm assuming Maynard won't be able to handle Ken-Flo's striking. Kenny to win. If you're looking for value, bet on Davis.

Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 At this moment, ESPN Streak for the Cash participants have the following opinions: 93.4% expect Florian to beat Maynard 70.5% do not expect a first-round Randy win 98.2% do not expect Penn/Edgar to go the distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 The best part is that it was one of the least clean takedowns you'll ever see, anyone with an ounce of takedown defense would have been able to avoid it.

9 to 5 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 As I said on MSN about the Couture fight: its like playing UFC on the 360, and the second player isnt at his joypad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
