Roy Jones Jr. is on his way to kick your ass :laugh:

the main event better save this card, its been pretty bad thus far

i don't know how Tibeau makes 155

i can't remember a fighter losing this much blood

lytle is leaking alot of blood

good win for Griffin, not that exciting though. i thought these two would put on a better fight

its time to retire Eye of the Tiger for entrance music

this card may not have the biggest names, but the matchups should provide some damn good fights.

my UFC 86 picks: Joe Stevenson vs. Gleison Tibeau: only thing Joe has to worry about is Tibeau's size. Tibeau is one of the biggest LW's around. Joe has the edge standing and with submissions and should be able to grind out a decision victory. Stevenson by Unanimous Decision Tyson Griffin vs. Marcus Aurelio: this has fight of the night written on it. both guys push a hard pace and neither has ever been finished in a fight. Aurelio has had some trouble wiht wrestlers in the past, but Griffin may want to keep it standing since Aurelio is slick as hell with his subs. i think this goes to decision with Aurelio pulling off the upset. Aurelio by Split Decision Josh Koscheck vs. Chris Lytle: its actually pretty amazing how far Koscheck has come in his striking. When he was on TUF, he looked lost standing. the training at AKA has paid off because his striking looks natural now, not as defensive as it did. That said he shouldn't stand too long with Lytle as Lytle can end it in one shot. This could look alot like Lytle's match against Hughes. with Koscheck getting the takedown virtually whenever he wants to. Koscheck by TKO, 2nd Round Patrick Cote vs. Ricardo Almeida: Striker vs. Submission artist. Cote's only hope is to keep it standing, as his sub defense is not the best and he's facing one of the best submission guys in Almeida. Almeida would be foolish to trade hands with Almeida, and if he does Cote will end it with one shot. Almeida should just relentlessly go for the takedown and get it into his world. Almeida by Submission, 2nd Round Rampage vs. Forrest Griffin: Griffin is a testament to how far you can go on heart. he's well rounded, but not dominant in any area of MMA. Rampage isn't taking him lightly and he knows how hard Forrest can work. Cardio shouldn't be a problem for either, although we know Rampage can go 5 full rounds, we've yet to see it from Griffin. Rampage would be wise to stay away from the knees and watch for Forrest's leg kicks. Forrest would be wise to stay to the outside and use his reach to keep Rampage at a distance. Forrest doesn't have the best chin, and Rampage has KO power in both hands, i expect Rampage to connect on his chin and finish it with ground n pound. Rampage by TKO, 3rd Round

most definitely, but when i hear rampage saying he doesn't respect Forrest's punches, i don't think that means he'll just go in reckless. i interpreted that comment to mean that of all the problems Forrest may present, having KO power isn't one of them.

i don't see why he should respect Forrest's punches. Rampage has taken punches from much harder punchers than Forrest. its not like Forrest has 1 punch KO power.

i can see that if GSP wins, i don't imagine moving up would be worth it to him to fight Fitch. i see Alves beating Sanchez to secure his title shot, hopefully he makes weight.

i can see the pic fine

why is Rich moving up to 205 when Anderson could be there full time pretty soon?

i think brawling would be to forrest's disadvantage. he has to maintain some form of technique. if he goes out and tries to brawl, Rampage will drop him and finish him. If Jardine could put Forrest down with a shot, i'm certain Rampage could do the same. Forrest's best bet would be to try and potshot rampage from the outside and hope Rampage gets careless.

1. Forrest probably does have better cardio, but both can 5 rounds so it shouldn't be a deciding factor. Forrest isn't aggressive enough to make Rampage expend the amount of energy he would have to in order to gas. 2. Forrest doesn't have much KO power. he has decent technique, but power has never been his strength. his best shot is to catch rampage with a knee or three. i can't see forrest ko'ng rampage with a punch 3. Rampage biggest weakness is knees from the clinch. Rampage can take a helluva punch, knees not so much. Rampage has only been tapped once i think and that was to Sakuraba. he doesn't have much bjj technique, but he has proven that his brute strength can get him out of alot of dangerous spots 4. Juanito & Rampage hooked up shortly after or before Rampage became a born again christian. that type of mentality is good if the fighter believes in it, because thats really the only opinion that matters. if rampage truly believes it, maybe it helps him mentally.

theres a good chance he moves up for a fight against Hatton. before saturday's fight i would've thought it was too much, but i think Pacquiao would cause some serious problems for Hatton

Wandy's not as defense oriented as Machida is. Machida defense is sound and he doesn't take enough risks to be hit by a spinning backfist from chuck. i don't think Chuck would be able to take Machida down, his takedown defense is pretty good. i think Machida would win a boring but convincing decision over Chuck. UFC 86 Countdown is tonight at midnight

if chuck beats Rashad, i think he should fight Machida to see who gets the next shot (even though i think that fight would be incredibly boring as both are really counter-punchers)

i don't think he should get a shot after Rashad, but it would be easier to justify if someone other than Rampage were champion. if Rampage is still champ, then there really is no justification, especially considering how deep the division is.

that title shot was apart of Dana's plan of pumping up Chuck's legacy by letting him avenge all of his losses, i honestly don't think Dana expected Rampage to defeat Chuck. UFC needs an official ranking system, instead of just going off the minds of Dana White & Joe Silva

no way in hell should Chuck get a title shot if he beats Rashad, going 2-2 in a division that is as stacked as LHW should not be good enough for a title shot, especially if Rampage still has the title considering he's finished Chuck twice but knowing Dana, he'll find a way to justify giving Chuck a shot.

i can't remember an interview with so many casual f-bombs being dropped "that ****er was fast" "he was just too ****ing fast" :laugh: :laugh:

its over. Pacquiao KO'd him in the 9th after beating him all fight as if Diaz offended his family. Pacquiao is pound 4 pound king
