Raoul Duke Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 AMIR WINS AGAIN!!! Ha ha!! CB whines after he taps. You gotta love that! Overall, a pretty boring show. Best fight was probably Diego/Luigi or that eastman/McFedries quickie. And now.... only two weeks til FORREST vs RAMPAGE!!!! Go Forrest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverforge Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) So sad...I was happier watching Amir win in a quick fight that did little more than showcase Amir's craftyness and CB's arrogance than I was in watching Forrest and Bonnar in an epic battle. For once in the TuF series I had someone I wanted to see win, as opposed to an asshat I wanted to see lose. Erm, guess I got both this year Time to hit the creative forum and see if anyone is willing to make me an Amir sig Other than that yeah.... Tanner's beard deserved to win, it was that bushy. I find renewed faith in Grove, he showed some pretty nice overall game, crazy knees and what appeared to be an honest to God desire to win Most of the other fights were fairly blah, though I wish I could have seen the battle of the Matt's Anyone know who won that? Btw-nice job on the updates Johnny. GSP-Fitch is gonna be the BEST PPV of the year without doubt. Edited June 23, 2008 by Silverforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverforge Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Matt "????ing" Brown won his fight via TKO Nice! Thanks for the info I like Arroyo too, but I think he's FAR too reliant on his ground game and hasn't found that ability to "dig deep" yet. Brown on the other hand doesn't have the pure skill that Arroyo has, but has tight strikes and a bad attitude. I think Brown could make an impression for a while...but if pretty boy Arroyo toughens the f*ck up and works on his stand up he has a chance to make a real impact in the future.

Silverforge Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ok, so I bit and payed the $1.99 for the Brown/Arroyo fight. Seeing as they are both guys trying to really break their way in, it was worth the $2 Brown is hella tough, and has good all around posturing for sure. Arroyo I think is letting his own skill get to his head. He showed lots of solid stand-up in the first minute and a half then gassed out and fell apart when he realized how tough Brown was. That's the way I saw it at least. Brown was defiantly the better fighter, and I think both could make the televised fights in the near future. Have to say though, looking at how beat up both of them were after the fight...I'd hate to see them fight a GSP, a a Fitch or even a Diago. Though to be fair Fitch would probably just pick them apart and then choke them out, at least they'd avoid the scars That's the beauty of this sport though, watching fighters evolve GSP vs Fitch is still going to be the best fight of the year, kills me because they are my two favorite fighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 GSP vs Fitch is still going to be the best fight of the year, kills me because they are my two favorite fighters Yep, looking like this could be one of the best. But I'm sorry, bro. Roger/Kenny will probably steal the show for UFC 87. Or maybe even Franklin/Henderson. And dude, I'm already in the process of making an Amir sig!! You can wear it too when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good call, the henderson/Franklin fight should be a beast Who do you predict betwwen Roger/Kenny? I'd put my money on Roger but Kenny has some nasty nasty elbows, gonna be a good one as well.

Pfizer Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) I think Fedor is going to smash through Sylvia at the Affliction show. Sylvia has no ground game. Once he gets tripped (cause fedor will try for it the sambo throw) Sylvia will be in trouble. Fedor has crazy ground and pound. Like when he was tearing into Big Nog and his head was bouncing off the floor. It will be like Big Nog vs Sylvia. Sylvia will do well keeping him at bay, but once hes gets close it will be lights out. Edited June 23, 2008 by Pfizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Nice!! And good call, the henderson/Franklin fight should be a beast Who do you predict betwwen Roger/Kenny? I'd put my money on Roger but Kenny has some nasty nasty elbows, gonna be a good one as well. I'm gonna go with my boy Roger on that one. He's one tough S.O.B. Kenny's damn good too, but I thin Roger will win by TKO or decision. I am worried, just because Kenny's got some serious skills. Just added to UFC 88: Karo Parisyan vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida James Lee vs. Tim Boetsch Meh. I hate Karo, but Boetsch could be entertaining if he fights like he did against David Heath. And I agree with Pfize. Fedor should crush Sylvia. As long as he can get in close. Once on the ground, Sylvia's murdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So no Franklin/Henderson anymore at UFC 87. Guess it was just a rumour. Now it's Henderson vs Rousimar Palhares at UFC 88. That kinda sucks. http://www.intheguard.tv/site/1/newsNews.php?id=129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverforge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 That does suck, Franklin/Henderson would have been sick. Will be interesting to see how Silva does at 205, just watched Franklin/Silva 2 again and I couldn't get over how strong Silva looked when he was holding Franklin's head in the clinch. I wonder if he'll be able to manhandle a larger opponent in the same fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me think he's gonna mess up Irvin pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the ability to do so, but what I am gonna be watching for is how he handles bigger guys. That and his chin, I can't remember him having to withstand too many huge shots, getting rocked and working through it. Hopefully Irvin is game and turns it into a proper battle. I like Silva but it gets almost depressing watching him absolutely destroy people while he looks like he's contemplating what colour to paint his house I was so excited at the end of round 1 vs Henderson, then Wham! Silva's back to making superstars look like amateurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
