Huh? What is there to hate? He's like the Berry Sanders of MMA. Very humble.

Fedor/Rashad and GSP are my favs because of that.

If Rampage has his head on straight, he will kill Rashad.

Alot of people underestimated Rampage in this fight because Wandy had beaten him twice before, but the first time they fought Rampage had beaten Chuck Liddell right before the fight. So on the same night he beat Liddell he had to fight Wandy. He had Wandy down and bloodied when the ref had them stand up and Wandy took him with the knees.

The second fight was right after Rampage became "born again" In the fight, Rampage decked Silva in the first round and later scored a takedown and had Wandy in trouble at the end of the round. Rampage scored another takedown in the second round, but Silva got back on his feet and knocked Rampage out with knee strikes to the head for the second time.

Rampage was not as well conditioned in Pride as he has been in the UFC.

As for Mir vs. Nog, Nog looked old and ineffective. I was suprised at how many people thought he would beat Mir easily. Nog looked bad against Tim "Giant P_ssy" Sylvia the last time he fought and if he wouldn't have caught Sylvia with a submission, he would have lost that fight. The fight before that he should have lost to Heath Herring, but Herring for some reason let him get back on his feet despite knocking him crazy. Nog hasn't looked good in awhile.

Now, I have to laugh cause if Frank thinks he is going to trade punches with Lesnar he is sorely mistaken. He was very lucky in the first fight that the ref stood them up when Lesnar was pounding his face. He will need to find a way to get the match on the ground and submit Lesnar if he wants to win.

Nog is a shell of his former self..I think those two attempted murders by Fedor and Sapp basically destroyed him. He's almost blind looks about 45 and he's only 31. Then again Mir was almost killed by a motorcyle... So I couldnt pick.

Lesnar will own all (maybe save Fedor but I wouldnt bet on this fight). The first real elite athlete MMA has had at HW. Mir is so fucked next time.

Well honestly, most of it's because he's a Spartan. But outside the ring, he's fine. Inside, his dancing and kissing his hand then touching his crotch...that's what annoys me. It's not like Forrest and Stephan where they get hit and smile because it woke them up, he acts like a little punk in the octagon.

But there's no denying his ability. They say he's never tried a submission before and he's a great wrestler, blah blah blah...I want to see him go up against a well-rounded BJJ guy. Then again, take a look at the last few light heavyweight champions and none of them are submission guys.

oh well.

Was there even a sub tonight?

For the record

wand = cry
nog = cry
forrest = lol

Let's be real now, the first two fights were nothing but comeptitive. A loss is a loss, anyone can be beaten. Page had some major flaw in his striking game silva masterfully exploited; he did get his ass kicked in the final moments. Soccer kicks and stomping were irrelevant (2nd fight), seeing how it was Silva's hook that opened the floodgates.

But now that Page evolved into a much more technical boxer, there is no going back. Props to Juanito, as much of a douchebag he is for trying to sell out on his old fighters. Also, I am a type of a guy who tends to value current state fighters in question are more than what past records say.

Quinton looked good to me tonite, I honestly had some doubts with his training at Wolfslair. Glad it all worked out, now I feel someone who was deserving a win finally gets it.

Yet to see the whole rashad fight, but man that was some vicious GnP! So that's 2 out of 2 for me tonite, both of my boys won. Awesome!

Anyone? How bout Fedor or Evans?

most people don't like him because during TUF he was showboating in the fightg. Hell even during the fight with forrest he grabbed his crotch and blew a kiss at forrrest this was while forrest was winning.



until recently he has not been humble.


can't wait until him and Rampage go at it. should be a hell of a fight. long as rampage keeps his head on straight (and out of jail) it should be great. if not Rashad is going to make short work of him.

Mir's boxing looked good, his striking is much more technical than Brock's. But Brock has that whole super human speed and strength thing going for him. Nobody his size should be able to move like that, dude is a true freak of nature. I will say it's gonna be an interesting fight. Brock isn't going to rush in balls to the wall like their first fight. And I could only imagine how pissed off he is. He could win it with strength alone. His Hammer Fists might look sloppy and ineffective but they hurt. Mir and Randy both said so. He also broke Heath's eye socket with a single punch *ouch* Brock might just be the HW champ for a LONG time. If Mir can't beat him nobody can. Kongo would get killed as would every other HW UFC has. And Brock's still has a lot to learn. Will be scary as fuck to see what he can do in 3 years lol.

Page needs to win one more to be #1 contender, the LHW division is super deep, I dunno maybe even 2 wins. I'd like to see him fight Machida. If Page Vs Evans happens it'll be great. As Quniton would say "Black on Black crime" Evans looked GREAT his striking is very quick, his combos were nice too. Forrest is a tough SOB with a ton of heart so for him to tap from strikes means Evans hits hard as fuck. Evans is looking better and better each fight. if Page can't beat him I'm not sure there's a LHW who could. Chuck has a punchers chance, Wandy same as chuck. I think Shogun is finished. Machida is interesting and might be able to do it.

Or maybe Evans will remain the champ and stay undefeated until he retires. If he keeps improving that could very well happen. Dude is just so fast and so strong.

I'd like to see Anderson Silva vs Rampage or Evans =) He's moved up to 205 once (and demolished James Irvin) so I'm sure he could do it again =)

Edit: Oh... Luis Arthur Cane is one to watch too I think. He's incredibly vicious and quite talented as well.
