UFC 102 ponderings!!!!

Well the Couture vs nog fight lived up to expectations with both fighters giving a good slug fest although every time randy gets hit now he goes down and you think he's done for,good fight though.

The Silva vs Jardin fight went exactly as i expected although i thought Jardin was gonna nick it with a ko victory just because he is so bloody difficult to figure out where his punches are gonna come from.

Marquardt vs Maia well poor Maia i felt for him because he is so good on the ground but like joe said it always starts on the feet and on the feet marquardt was much better,bang one punch and Maia did a flip onto his front and was clearly done,Marquardt will now have to face hendo to see who gets silva next,could see Marquardt beating hendo though.

The countdown!!

Just seen the UFC 102 countdown!!! man i love that show,no matter who's fighting it always gets me pumped and i cant wait for the action to start,bring on tonight's match ups and lets have it!!!

UFC 105

Bj Penn vs Diego Sanchez will not happen at UFC 105 in the uk, but now we will possibly see Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson instead in manchester, england,an interesting prospect for the british fans.Not sure which one i would rather watch but i think i would plump for the lightweight battle if pushed.

Rampage as MR T!!!!!

Rumours abound that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson the former ufc light heavyweight champ has been cast in the role of Mr T in the new A-team film,weather the rumours are true or not remains to be seen but me for one would like to see him in that role, Don't know about his acting skills parse but he always comes across on screen as a likeable humerous guy, so hopefully he can portray B.A in a good way and do well in the role, More to come when there is definite news.

UFC 102

So UFC 102 coming up this weekend and i cant wait the big 3 obviously are Big Nog vs Couture,Jardin vs Silva and Marquardt vs Maia all of them have the potential to be great fights.My predictions are Couture win by GNP in the third, Jardin win by tko in the second and maia win by submission in the second.Come on chaps lets have a good one

Tito vs Mark Coleman

Its official Tito has signed to fight Mark coleman, now don't get me wrong Ive never been a huge Tito fan because of his big mouth but i know he is good for the ufc because he gets a lot of coverage but i think he is gonna whoop Colemans ass,Tito had some of the best stamina in the game and I'm betting he hasn't lost it,in fact he was renowned for his gas tank. Tito victory by GNP in the second.

Anderson "Fatboy" Silva

That's right!!! Fat boy!! apparently Silva is thinking of moving to heavyweight to gain new challenges, not sure that the right move for him, i can see him hitting 205 permanently no issue but even the smallest heavyweight is probably Randy Couture and he weighs in at around 225.Skilled or not if someone the size of Carwin or Lesnar decided to rush him would he be able to put them down like he did with Forrest?.Well if he is gonna go north i reckon light heavyweight should give him more of a challenge,i just think he doesn't want to face his buddy and fearsome fighter Lyoto Machida.

Rumours of ufc 105

There are strong rumours going around that at ufc 105 in manchester, england, Bj penn could well defend his title vs Diego Sanchez,This would be brilliant news for all the british fans as there hasnt been a decent fight in england since Rampage vs Henderson at ufc 75 but apparantly Bj wasnt happy when he fought there at ufc 80 as the attendance wasnt brilliant so he didnt get as much cash as he was hoping for,Despit all this though its a bigger venue then the one in birmingham at ufc 80 so hopefully his sponsors can sway him with a bit of extra cash,be good to see that fight.

Shane Carwin vs Brock Lesnar????

Apparently Shane Carwin has been pulled from his fight with Cain Velasquez and pencilled in to face Lesnar at ufc106.Apparently the ufc were worried that no suitable opponent would be found to face lenar until the end of the year or later so Carwin has been drafted in.Good news for Carwin,he is perhaps one of the heaviest hitters in the game and it will be good to see Brock take a punch from this guy,also he is a good size about 250 and ripped so I'm all set for this one,dunno why just wanna see Lesnar take a beating like the dufus he is.

Vitor is back!!!

The phenom!!!!! Can he be a force this time round,only time will tell,he is up against a tough opponent in his comeback fight,Rich Franklin wont hold back and has good all round skills so we will have to see but Vitor has looked terrific in his last 2 or 3 fights so bring it on!!

UFC 102

Is it Randy vs Nogeuira NO!!! is it Jardin vs Silva NO!!!

It is Nate Marquardt vs Damien Maia I'm most excited about, Marquardt has been improving no end and he is up against a bjj phenom in Maia who is undefeated,A battle of top middleweight contenders and i cant wait,whoever wins should be next in line for a shot at Anderson Silva.

Marquardt has been there before but i think he is a much better fighter now, but personally id like to see maia get in with the Spider.We shall see.

Tito is back!!!!!

So Tito Ortiz is back in the ufc,never thought i'd See it happen personally as him and Dana never got on.But he is back now and looks like he will be fighting Mark Coleman come the end of the year, although he has already been badmouthing Coleman saying that he cant wait to beat him so he can face some decent fighters....Ahh you gotta love Tito and his mouth, the ufc hasn't been the same since he left.Welcome back Tito.
