Randleman is an interesting case. He has all the raw talent and power in the world, but he could just never seem to put it together consistently. if you look back at his career, you'd be hard pressed to find another fighter who's fought as many of the top guys in mma as Randleman.

apparently sherk just hired a lawyer 2 weeks ago, and their team is still getting an independent analysis of the samples that came back with roids. No matter what the decision will be made on those samples, sherk can't just take a test now and claim he wasn't on the juice franca's suspension was upheld as expected so he's done for the next year

Sherk filed for an extension, so the commissions decision which would have happened today, won't happen until October.

Curran beat Ledbetter by UD, he'll be a problem for Faber Filho beat Doerkson by 1st round stoppage due to strikes Condit beat Larson by a sick lookin armbar, looked like it was goin to snap

Filho wanted to fight for a title which is why he's in WEC. I can understand why they may not want to fight their friends, yes it is a sport, but it can lead to someone getting hurt seriously whether its intentional or not. i might not agree with it, but i won't criticize fighter for not wanting to fight someone he is close to.

i would expect sometime after Anderson Silva loses the MW title. Filho has stated in different interviews that him and Silva are great friends and train together, and that they won't fight each other.

WEC event on Sunday evening on Versus. Paulo Filho vs. Joe Doerkson for the MW title Carlos Condit vs. Brock Larson for the WW title WEC put on a great show last time they were on TV, so i'm definitely checkin this one out. Good to see Filho back fighting tho.

i agree it essentially comes down to preference. i have had the chance to actually train (very little :laugh: ) submission wrestling, so i'm kind of partial to submissions myself on that note UFC needs to sign Aoki to their lw division, he could be one of the only fighters the crowd won't boo when it goes to the ground:laugh:

i prefer grappling to striking when the two competitors are at a high level. seeing two world class bjj is pretty interesting, like a physical human chess match.

i agree, BJ's biggest problem is that he relies on his talent too much and doesn't come in the best condition in some of his fights. if he ever gets that under control he'd be damn near unstoppable. on another note anyone know where Shinya Aoki is goin to sign?

BJ may be the most talented LW in the world right now, but i can't rank him #1 because rankings imo, rankings should be based on accomplishments and not talent. At LW BJ hasn't done much in a very long time except beat a past his prime Jens Pulver

theres a youtube clip of Karo and Sokodjou competing against each other in a Judo match from a few years back. Karo beat him despite the weight disadvantage, goes to show how great Karo's judo is.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4395&zoneid=13 i hope he ends up in the UFC, only 23 years old and already holds KO wins over Lil Nog and Arona. Unlimited potential in this kid.

i don't see this card being worth the money. Liddell and Shogun's matches will be entirely one sided. Neither Forrest or Jardine are anywhere near the levels of the guys they are facing. Sanchez vs. Fitch will be good if Sanchez remembers to actually fight. Tyson Griffin is always good for an exciting fight. this card is the type i'll find on a stream, but won't pay for.

hopefully we'll get to see a lightweigh grand prix for the title now tho.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4359&zoneid=2 Sean "The Chemically Enhanced Muscle Shark" Sherk :laugh: all jokes aside, with all the positive and mainstream coverage MMA has been receiving, the last thing we need is this sport being linked to steroid abuse. edit: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=4358&zoneid=13 Franca tested positive too.:doh: Pending appeals both will be suspended for a 1 year under the current athletic commission (although only Sherk is appealing)

this is why alot of people who have followed the sport for a long time, hate The Ultimate Fighter. the winners of those shows are often spoonfed opponents and built up to be better than they actually are. The only fighter who wasn't spoonfed was Diego, other than that, all their winners have had cans for their couple of fights in the UFC. Bisping is a good fighter who needs to be tested, the fact that he was almost submitted by Elvis Sinosic tells me alot more about Bisping than any of his wins thus far. that being said Bisping could very well lose against Hamill. Bisping by all accounts is the better fighter, but Hamill is ridiculously strong and has great wrestling. i could see Hamill winning a very very boring 3 round decision.

Shogun's people are saying that he'll be fighting Forrest Griffin at UFC 76, if true then R.I.P. Forrest Griffin. lol

the last time Jardine was in the cage, this happened: now he gets to headline a PPV. makes perfect sense.:doh: i usually don't get upset about ufc matchmaking, but this match if it happens will really bother me. there is no possible justification for this bout to happen

http://ufcjunkie.com/2007/07/13/ufcjunkiecom-exclusive-chuck-liddell-vs-keith-jardine-to-headline-ufc-76/ i swear if this happens, i will find away to slap the hell out of Dana White and UFC matchmaker Joe Silva :doh:

it should be noted that this is a pre-rendered clip of gamplay action, and that the final version of the game may not look like this, but if it does :notworthy :

i see your point, but Pride i've accepted the fact that Pride is dead. UFC will use that acquisition to get most of their fighters and bring them to UFC or the WEC, but i don't think we'll see the proposed "superbowl" of MMA ppv, or another pride ppv for that matter. i can call it a unification bout because u have the two champions of each org. facing each other. both are familiar with the cage so it shouldn't be a problem. the worst thing the UFC could do is keep multiple titles for any 1 weight division. that is a major reason boxing is the way it is now. there 20 champions for each weight-class. the UFC has it right, keeping one title or champion, per weight class

apparently something happened, not exactly sure what, and now Wandy vs. Chuck is off :doh:
