Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yeah as much as I want to see this, I won't be. Might avoid spoilers and watch it Sunday morning, but most likely I'll just miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 to 5 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Taping it I think. I would watch, but I need to be up for a far bigger sporting event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRossWalker Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Six hours' gap between the scheduled end of GSP/Hardy and kickoff for Burnley/Blackburn, surely that's ample sleeping time? Unless you have a ticket to the latter, of course. Not sure if I'll be watching it, personally. I need to be up at 9, and if I go out tomorrow night, it won't happen. If I stay in, I'll have an early night and wake back up for it, otherwise I'll be watching Sunday afternoon, spoiler-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 to 5 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I lose an hour because of the clocks going forward, somewhere. And I will be drinking during both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_ewing88 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) For the GSP/Hardy fight, for some reason, I don't like either of them, but if there is anybody right now that could take GSP's title, it's Hardy. He's won seven straight (two straight decisions, but against Davis and Swick), whil GSP hasn't fought since July, so a little rust there, IMO. For the Mir/Carwin fight, I honestly hate Frank Mir to death. He's arrogant as shit, he's an asshole, but he CAN back his shit up. I mean, there was the 1st round knockout of Kongo bck at UFC 107 (which I never even saw coming at all) and the TKO win over Nogueira at UFC 92. For Carwin, he's 11-0 (3-0 in the UFC), including a 1st round knockout of Gonzaga back at UFC 96. I know some of you might jump on me for saying this, but I strongly believe that whoever wins this fight (i'm pulling for Carwin) is gonna go on to pretty much get knocked out by Lesnar. Lesnar has already beat Mir before, yet Carwin does scare me. So, for me, i'm going Hardy and Carwin to win their bouts. Just don't be suprised if the winner of Mir/Carwin DOES go on to lose to Lesnar for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship in the near future.

Thrilla Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I lose an hour because of the clocks going forward, somewhere. And I will be drinking during both. I'm cramming it all into Sunday, footy match in the morning, Rovers/Burnley, travel to Leicester, watch UFC on delay, bit of SHIMMER, Kebabs, WRESTLEMANIA!, celebration at Undertaker beating Michaels. Good times. And I'm really hoping Carwin punches Mir right in his big mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Will be downloading it, and watching it tomorrow. Should be good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikevandam Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I hope (and that is one big hope) that Carwin will pound the tar out of Mir. I hate Mir with a passion. Even more than GSP. True that he can back his mouth up. But that doesnt clear that he is a grade A+ Arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Drags Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 So is it 2am or 4am or 3am tonight? Stupid clocks going forward, I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRN Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Shane Carwin, holy uppercuts Batman. Also, Rousimar Palhares almost pulling a Renato Sobral! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've always said UFC doesn't hold much interest for me, beyond any fighters with pro-wrestling connections and any Aussies involved but I've really been getting into it lately. Mainly thanks to the One Digitial sports channel. I've seen highlights, retro stuff, previews and the full UFC 110 and Vera vs Jones. It's all been rather exciting.

SRN Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Dan Hardy has rubber ligaments. This. It was insane seeing St. Pierre just crank and crank on that armbar and Hardy just rolling out of it. Insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Despite that I have seen people bitching saying "GSP didn't finish the fight" It wasn't like he didn't try, everytime he Kimuraed or armbarred Hardy he really sinked it in, and he couldn't make Hardy tap... wow Also Carwin's knockout of Mir was bitter sweet to me. I loved the finish, but I want to see the third Mir/Lesnar fight so Mir will stop bitching about it and we could have just said "that's it, Brock is better thank you Frank." But I feel that Carwin will do the one thing we haven't seen yet in the unification bout, test Lesnar's chin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Lesnar/Mir III WILL happen eventually. Either Brock will lose the belt and it's a ready made main event... or Frank will work his way back up to contention and get a title shot. I don't see the possibility of Lesnar holding the belt for years to come AND Frank Mir falling out of the title hunt completely. Will not happen that way. I'd actually put money on the third fight now being saved as a way to use them as coaches on a future season of The Ultimate Fighter. Could you imagine a whole season of Team Brock (guys with athletic backgrounds and little to no MMA experience) against Team Mir (Guys who are striclty mixed martial artists)? That would be a great way to spend a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Lesnar is a very private person who would almost assuredly never want to coach TUF with all those cameras around for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great way to spend a season. If you could get Brock to agree to it, that season would be HUGE! But you think that Brock would be willing to move to Las Vegas for the amount of time required? I love the idea, apparently TUF12 could be GSP coaching against the winner of Kos/Daley, so we would be looking to either TUF 13 or 14 before it happens (Damn you MPH ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Potato Head Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 TSN is reporting that UFC 115 might be held in Cincinnati instead of Vancouver. Not seeing it anywhere else yet, no idea if TSN's 'source' is legitimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyrey619 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm not sure how fair Palhares' suspension is (90 days for those that are unaware). Yes, he did keep the sub on 5 seconds after he tapped, but the ref never really made much of an effort to break it up. Palhares' apologized after the fight saying that it wasn't intentional, and X-rays on Drwal showed there were no fractures. So yeah, I'm kind of baffled on that decision.
