the semi-finals & finals of Dream's LW tourney are early tomorrow morning 5am(est) the card is as follows:

this fight never got out of the center of the ring. the same result would've happened in a cage or ring

i don't even think Fedor broke a sweat in that fight

wow Fedor just destroyed Timmay is 36secs

http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/07/18/controversial-andrei-arlovski-interview-watch-it-here/ ^^^^must watch interview with Arlovski, pay close attention to the last 20secs though. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Okami broke his hand, so he's most likely out of the next shot. since he wasn't hurt, i think Anderson will fight Cote at UFC 88

Silva himself said he does not want the LHW title. he thinks 205 is the division for Machida to get the title he won't go after the title unless Machida gets a shot first and loses.

Lindland decisioned Negao Babalu decisioned Whitehead Barnett ko'd Rizzo Arlovski just TKO'd Rothwell Fedor and Sylvia bout to start in a few minutes

Anderson Silva wastes no time. lmao good night

complete bull****. thats like soccer kicking someone on the ground and being declared the winner. wrong is wrong, and that decision was damn wrong. Anthony Johnson showed alot of class in the post-fight interview though.

Dalloway just pulled off a peruvian necktie, never seen that in a MMA match. i've seen it in grappling matches, but not MMA, impressive

my predictions (the most reliable on ExtremeSkins of course ) UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin: Irvin had a lil trouble getting to 205 during weigh-ins. Silva doesn't look that much different, definitely carrying a lil more around the chest though. this fight comes down to how fast Silva remains at 205 and whether Irvin can land that perfect shot to test Silva's chin. Irvin has said he's willing to take two shots to land one, not a smart strategy at all. Silva is to precise and will be long gone before Irvin can land his one shot. Anderson Silva by TKO, 2nd Round Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy: i don't trust anyone who's last name can be a first name :mad: . Vera is still talking **** as usual, but Andy is essentially a hand-picked opponent designed to get Vera a win. anything less than pure domination by Vera will be bad sign for Vera. Vera by Submission, 1st Round Hermes Franca vs. Frankie Edgar: Franca returns for the first time since the suspension. the layoff will probably make him a little tentative in the 1st. Edgar is great fighter, but he belongs in the 145lb division, hell i don't even think he cuts more than 5-7lbs to make 155. Franca has more power, but Edgar is probably has better technique on the feet. on the ground, Franca has some pretty good bjj, so Edgar may not want to wrestle with him too much Franca by Split Decision Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson: two of the better prospects in the WW division. Burns comes off his surprising submission of Carneiro & Johnson comes of the sick KO of Tommy Speer. next to Alves, Johnson may be the biggest WW in the UFC, he has great speed and power. i'm thinking Johnson will use his wrestling in reverse to keep the fight standing and end it with strikes. Anthony Johnson by KO, 1st Round Jake O'Brien vs. Cain Velazquez: two wrestlers, Cain is better. Cain also has better strikes. this could be a bit of bore if they get into a wrestling match Velazquez by Unanimous Decision C.B. Dalloway vs. Jesse Taylor: similar fighters, they're about even standing, slight edge to Dalloway in the wrestling. i think Dalloway will find a way to get a decision victory Dalloway by Unanimous Decison Affliction: Banned Fedor vs. Tim Sylvia: Timmay will look to keep it standing, Fedor will look to get to the ground. Timmay has good takedown defense, but Fedor is very explosive in the clinch, and usually finds away to get the fight to ground somehow. once it hits the ground, Fedor has the best ground & pound in MMA, and is very good at applying armbars. Timmay should try to keep him at bay with his reach and work the distance as long as possible. its a 5 round fight, and Timmay will have to adjust to fighting in a ring as opposed to a cage. that could hurt him a little in defending takedowns. Fedor by Submission, 3rd Round Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell: this is Rothwell's first real test against top competition. Arlovski's been training boxing with Freddy Roach so i expect his already powerful punches, to be refined with better technique. Arlovski by TKO, 2nd Round

Gamboa just scored one of the best knockouts of the year (edit: i found a .gif) people better get used to that name, he's goin to be around for awhile in this game

Yuriorkis Gamboa, one of the best prospects in all of boxing, will be fighting on ESPN2 tonight

damn, i hope Rampage gets his **** together. on another note, UFC Countdown: Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin comes on tonight at 11pm(est) on SPIKE the card on saturday is a full 3hrs, and with no title matches, i'm assuming we'll get to see almost every fight on the card. Dana White = Vito Corleone of MMA

i watched this fight on ESPN2 last night. just before coming out for the 11th, he collapsed against the ropes. this particular fight didn't seem abnormally brutal. he's been in alot of physical fights in the past though, and has probably sustained alot of carryover from those fights. i hope he pulls through this

Timmay better be drilling armbar defense

i'm mad i wasted my time watching that Toney/Rahman fight

espn2 has a pretty good main event tonight in Oscar Diaz vs. Devlin Rodriguez. that has the potential to be a great fight

maybe Chuck passed him some of his personal stash:

a couple of interesting points from Anderson's interview with Sherdog: to be as talented as he is, he still is grounded in reality. as much hype around him as it is, and justifiably so, he isn't buying into it

he should do some time for the stupidity of running in a truck like that

maybe we'll get lucky and see a double KO so they can both retire

for a drunk writing, that was pretty damn coherent lol. good story hope Kang can rebound from his last couple of losses, he's usually an exciting fighter if nothing else

i would hope he was only talking about Light Heavyweights :laugh: he probably wasn't though :doh:
