[ShahHouman]

i normally dont get too excited for these events but for some reason i'm reeeeally lookn forward to this one....2 main matches are st pierre vs matt hughes and silva vs liddel

im rooting for st pierre cuz i think matt hughes is a lil too c0cky

and i like liddel but im rooting for silva, that dude is a badazz mothafka lol

wut do u guys think?

[Persian]

Ill take silva over liddell and GSP over Hughes...its gonna be a kick ass card...and in a few days...HMC vs. fedor to ring in da new year. But goddman verizon doesnt carry the PPV...


PS: I created a thread about this card as well...and tried talking MMA in the community a while back...but we dont have much of a base here...oh well...you,me, babak australia and Sam Van Dam can discuss

[ShahHouman]

college ftball thread doesnt get much love either but we're havin a blast in there lol

[ShahHouman]

haha that was hilarious...he does that tito ortize esque headbob...liddell didnt flinch...then liddell flips him off and wandy goes ape sh!t... I cant wait for the staredown...

[Sam van Dam]

silva over liddel in the first round, TKO with a right hook then ground and pound

i want GSP to win, but i have to pick matt hughes, becuase the winner fights matt serra, and serra and hughes have unfinished business


edit: o shit manny gamburyan is fighting too, great news, if he didnt dislocate his shoulder he would have been the next ultimate fighter, nate diaz aint got shit on manny or karo

[Sherwin]

I hope it will be GSP over Hughes because I personally think GSP is a humble dude unilke Hughes. Plus GSP is overall a better fighter so there you have it.

As for the Silva I think he is going to take Liddel down. The Ice Man has not been the same since the Rampage Jackson loss. It just seems like he lost his confidence and ora of invincibility. Now people are no longer afraid of him and it shows.
My picks
GSP over Hughes
Silva over Liddel

This is going to be a GREAT main event.

[Sam van Dam]

so GSP and liddel both won. i didnt watch it, i saw on the website, those of you who saw it, how was it?

Great event. Chuck is back although I think that Silva needed more time to adjust to UFC. GSP is one of the best fighters alive, pound for pound, what a technical fighter he is. Manny is back, a short and quick finish, I think he broke the guys legs...go Armenia.

A fighter I really like is Luke Cummo...the dynamite geek AKA Silent Assassin, looking forward to his next fight in march!

im not that big on this stuff so honestly, it was kinda dull

liddel won by decision and the rest of the fights were tapouts, ehhh,that's ok, but u prefer to see a knockout,u kno?

was it me, or did silva seem winded so much quicker than liddel? my friends were like "nahhhh man, he got punched in the nose" but wtf does getting punched in the nose hav to do w/ runnin out of gas? or do i just not know cuz i've never been punched in the nose?

Getting punched in the nose does wind you... no doubt...and not only that...Silva was getting bombs thrown at him...the reason he didnt completely gas was because of his cardio training (silvas cardio/training is second to none)...I have a lot of respect for silva though, he could have taken it to the ground and worked some of his black belt BJJ...but he did what he promised to the fans and tried to deliver a knockout. Liddell tried to play the clock at the end...

[ShahHouman]

i got ya...i didnt kno he said that but that's cool of him to do that, i wanted to see a knockout too, gooz thing i didnt pay for ti and watched it at a bar lol

[RahmanRezai]

Damn that fight broke my heart. I wanted Silva to win so bad! The thing with all the fighters that come from Pride (silva, shogun, crocop) is that they are used to the ring and not the cage.

I promise if this fight was in a ring and Lidell couldnt back away in the first round, Silva would have killed him.
