I can't believe Rampage could do something so retarded. What was he thinking?

The spear is stupid honestly. It's like a weak version of Florida State's helmet and it screams Steve Spurrier.

Machida beat him in a decision. I didn't see the fight, so can't comment.

Machida had a big weight advantage in the fight and it was clear that Penn didn't have much endurance due to all the extra weight he was trying to put on. Penn still gave him a tough fight, probably the closest Machida has ever came to losing.

The uniform is fine. The face in the helmet must stay. I don't like the Florida State and GB Packer helmets.

My Predictions

Rampage over Hendo (UD)

This will be a close fight, but I see Rampage getting the better of the standup exchanges. Rampage didnt have to do a whole lot to get back into fight shape and has looked better than ever as of late.

Cro Cop over Kongo (1st Rd KO)

Mirko has a chip on his shoulder and he has always responded well after losing in the past. Hes trained with other elite strikers such as Remy Bonjasky for this fight and I think we will finally get a chance to see Cro Cop showcase his superior standup in the octagon

Bisping over Hamill (2nd Rd KO)

Bisping has an advantage in almost every area except pure wrestling. Even if Hamill gets a takedown Bisping has a good enough ground game to contain and possibly submit him. If the fight stays on the feet Bisping should have no problem disposing of him.

Sakara over Alexander (1st Rd KO)

Sakara has professional boxing experience and is a much more techinical striker than Alexander. People forget that Alexander was rocked by Jardine before landing all of those hockey style uppercuts.

Davis over Taylor (UD)

I think it will be a close fight with Davis getting the upperhand in the third round.

Silva over Drawl (1st Rd KO)

Should be a short exciting fight with lots of big shots being landed early by both fighters.

Tibau over Etim (2nd RD Sub)

I think Tibau will take Etim down and have his way with him. In Etims last fight he was getting dominated on the ground and managed to pull a standing guilliotine at the end of the round. Dont think he will be as lucky this time.

Siver over Kotani (2nd Rd KO)

Kotani has not looked good in a while and Siver will keep the fight on the feet

Liaudin over Torres (1st Rd Sub)

Liaudin has been improving a lot lately and this seems like one of those fights thats there to get him over with his home crowd.

Thanks as always!

Anyone think that maybe we should start some kind of MMA fantasy league in this thread? We could do it "pick em" style, where instead of drafting fighters, we just choose the fights, and after each PPV/fight card, we tally up everyone's points (e.g. 5 points for correctly choosing the winner, or something like that)......Or is this just a stupid idea and I should just enjoy the fights?

For fantasy MMA, go to mmaplayground.com, it's already got everything you said and much more.

The real problem are the black shoes. They look awful.

I can't believe Silva won the way he did. Dominating Leben is one thing, but to KO Franklin in the first round is really impressive.

I think Franklin will TKO Silva in the 4th or 5th and Sherk shouldn't have a problem with Florian.

I'm looking foward to Fitch / Hironaka and Okami / Starnes on the undercard, should both be very interesting matchups.

Just got back from watching UFC 63 and I must say that it was a very good card all the way through. There was excitement from the very start, especially with Pulver getting KO'd early in the 1st, I don't think anyone expected that. Hughes Penn II was a great main event and overall I feel I got my moneys worth tonight.

I believe Liddell will beat Silva. Silva lost to Tito Ortiz who got KO'd by Liddell so I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the iceman puts the axe murderer to sleep.
