Today is the day, Get ready to rock.
I can’t wait!!!. Right now I’m indulging in the UFC classics box set 1-4. When there were no rules. Teeth are flyin’ Have fun, keep cheerin’ for your favs and can’t wait to hear the big talk after it’s over. Cheers All!!! Trishaaaaaaaaaaaaa
GIDDY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Trishaaaaaaaa
I was just watching my tape UFC 2, Boy things have changed.
I must admit, I like the more recent UFC as apposed to the Royce time period (1993ish) Even though there were really no rules then I find that it has evolved into a much bigger sport now. I would really like to know the real deal with Dana. (Vince McMahon kinda traits.) Please forgive me if you are a fan of his. Just referring to Randy’s phone conversation about his retirement and the way he has been treated. Was it just his time and now has regrets about the respect he has been given. I don’t get it.
Yeah It has become a huge event. And WWE crap is all fake trash.
Ahh Crap Tim Sylvia won. Jusy waiting for the Anderson/Franklin now. Come on ACE
Well that didn’t pan out for Franklin at all. 1:o7 in the second round. You have to admit even though Franklin didn’t win, Silva rocked as he always does. Alot of action in the third fight. Silvia put on a good show tonight even through all of the boos. I am pumped now ready for more fighting!!! Well UFC 78 should be good too. Chow. I agree with you when you say WWE is trash/crap I was merely comparing a couple of things that Dana has said and done(only through comparison. I could have said someone else it’s just he came to mind. I completely know the difference between UFC the sport and WWE the comic.
tim shut that idiot vera up!,the spider proved he is on another level,WOW!,kalin starnes should never enter the octagon again ,he fuckin turtled big time,gurgel looked like he was wearing a hallowen mask in franklins corner!,they gotta put on better shows than this .
Oh Well, I honour Anderson is the Champion.
Starnes skull was showing. He should have never went back out for more punishment! As a fellow Canadian he has alot to learn. Stephan/Schafer fight was just okay(Bonnar is not really one of my favs; although good fighter) Good action in the Robinson/Gurgel bout. Beyond recognition. Was that Gurgel?LOL Silvia/Vera was interesting to watch. If I had a big tree leaning on me I wouldn’t know what to do either(couldn’t imagine Silvia even attempting to go down to 205. No way. (Nice illegal kick buddy) Silvia/Congo? Okay then. Franklin/Silva; I would have thought Franklin would have performed a bit better than that. Not only for his fans but he is a good fighter. Just not as good. The polls were close at 47% Silva 53% Franklin. Sorry Franklin fans. He will fight again though.
Can’t wait for UFC 78 on Nov. 17th and 79 in Dec. Don’t be too sad anyone another time another fighter for these guys. Cheers
starnes looked like he did’nt want to be there even before the gash,silva is a great fighter but to destroy franklin that easy again!!!,good to see bonnar back again,even though he said no i believe vera will fight as a lhw next fight.
I agree. Silva is truly a great fighter. I would like him to fight someone that is an even challenge for him or someone with a little more to offer Silva. Bonnar has an interesting style doesn’t he?
Doesn’t seem like anyone has anything to stay after this PPV!!!!LOL
I thought it stunk and 78 looks worse,when your putting a ppv on monthly it’s only a matter time before the talent pool runs thin,how the hell is bisbing and eavans a main event ppv????????????
True. It would be nice to have one play on Spike for a change. Yah never no jer, they might just surprise us with somethin’. To lessen the cost to you, do what I do have some friends over, split the cost, have some beers, it makes it more interesting when your buds are routing for someone else. I play darts in my games room if there is a dull moment! LOL Come on jer, chin up. Do what I do I buy or borrow past fights to get me through to the next card. Cheers guy.
