UFC 71

[Fenixgoon]

i think rampage is going to win. chuck's striking is great, but rampage can stand AND go to the ground. i'm pretty sure chuck has a good ground game (in addition to an awesome takedown defense), but rampage comes off as being a bit more diverse, so i'm giving rampage the advantage.

tito is a POS. randy's humiliation of tito proves it (i dont remember what UFC # it was though). rampage would stomp tito in the ground.

I'm confused it's supposed to start @ 7PM PT, but Sherdog already has results for half the fights. Is it not live?

you haven't seen a fight yet? that means it's delayed, hummmm would be interesting to find the results for chuck vs rampage before it's shown on the PPV and bet somebody.

 

[waggy]

sherdog hasn't had any updates for like 20 minutes but it has me wondering how big the delay is. They're showing the fight time total as about 9 minutes, if you factor in breaks between matches and the fighters entry. It must be about what 30 minutes behind?

i was hoping josh what's-his-face would win, but i'm thinkin parisian (sp?) had a lot more experience (not sure about fighting styles/diversity)

 

[Marinski]
