Slacky McSlackAss Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Disappointing card, real happy for keeastman's boy Rick Story though. He looked solid in his Alves fight and had one hell of a chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I just want to say I'm a big fan of the Ultimate Fighter's "Cold Steel" Chuck O'Neil. Tough son of a *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebowski Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 So Story is calling out Fitch now. Keast, can your boy hang with Fitch's wrestling? Story says it is the next logical fight for him, but the problem is it isn't the next logical fight Fitch. Fitch has been known to take any fight in the past, but recently he said the only fights that make sense for him are GSP or Penn. I think I agree with him. I could also see Fitch getting Condit if Condit beats Kim. Story might be better suited for Ellenberger, Kim (regardless of a win or loss to Condit), or if he wants a big leap, Koschek. It will be real interesting to see how Marquartd-Johnson and Kampmann-Howard play out too. I think in both of those fights how the winner looks will be as important as winning in the stacked welterweight division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Would be interesting if Story could stop Fitch's tds. How about Diego, is scheduled to fight anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Helwani wanted to be a "Mean Jean Okerlund" type of interviewer in pro wrestling, and Rampage has been on WWE Raw at least once (that I can remember). Those interviews have a lot of that WWF feel to them. Good ****. So Story is calling out Fitch now. Keast, can your boy hang with Fitch's wrestling?Story says it is the next logical fight for him, but the problem is it isn't the next logical fight Fitch. Fitch has been known to take any fight in the past, but recently he said the only fights that make sense for him are GSP or Penn. I'd like to see Story vs. Fitch. Fitch, you're a top of the line fighter, easily, but in such a thrilling sport that people pay good money to watch, you are one of the only reliable opportunities we get to drop a deuce during a PPV. You just had a draw, a draw. Yes, the UFC is desperate for a WW contender, but they'd be showing their desperation giving you a shot right now. They'd rather shelve GSP until one of the other WW prospects breaks through, or Nick Diaz comes over, or perhaps GSP even moves up. All instead of having to give you a title shot. Luckily, BJ Penn is a gentleman and will wrestle you again. I don't know how he chose that over watching paint dry for the next 5 months, but he did. GO BJ!

Destino Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Jakes Shields should fight Jon Fitch. Rick Story should get Josh Koscheck. IMO. Fitch and Shields each lost to GSP once and as such want to earn a rematch. Kos has lost twice and as such is a gatekeeper at the moment. If Story wants to get into contender territory he needs to get past the gatekeeper and then fight the winner/loser of Fitch/Shields IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I don't ever wanna see Fitch fight GSP again because Fitch's skillset hasn't changed in anyway that would make me believe he could challenge GSP. Personally, I would prefer to see BJ vs Shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuels Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think he could still compete at LW. he's not beating Edgar, but i'd favor him against just about everyone else at 155 I think he could if he is in shape to push the action and not try to counter Frankie all fight. If he went after Frankie like he did Fitch in rd 1 getting the takedown and even had his back I think he could win. But he would have to be in great shape and very agressive. I think he would beat every other lightweight easily including Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) He fought Fitch to a draw. Saying he has no future is a little much. BJ vs Aldo would be a vicious fight. He wanted to retire and didnt because he got a draw. He hasn't had the passion needed to be a champ for a long time. How many times can you say "if he was in shape" or "if he dedicates himself" before it becomes obvious that he's not a champion anymore.

The problem with Fitch-Shields is the possibility of a Shields victory. What then? No way he gets back to the title after one win. Shields needs to go down a couple rungs further. Good call on Diego, Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I was out of town but I got to see the fights. Pretty weak card overall but on the bright side some of the younger guys really proved themselves. Rick Story and Travis Browne both beat very good fighters. The fans that were booing Rampage/Hamill were retarded. Yeah, Rampage didn't finish but he was coming at Hamill hard and beating him down. Hamill is just tough. He's never been put to sleep before and Rampage was landing clean with a lot of those combos. I really hope Rampage's hand is ok because he's back in shape now and I'd like to see him fight again before the year is up. I think Story has more than earned a fight with Fitch. Six straight wins in the UFC and he just beat Alves who's only other losses in the last five years have come from GSP and Fitch. I say make it happen and give the winner the next title shot, assuming Dana is still working on making Diaz/GSP happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Rampage's hand is ok because he's back in shape now and I'd like to see him fight again before the year is up. I think they were booing because Rampage was in with a clearly overmatched opponent, and he never really opened up. He basically sat back and countered whenever Hammil got close. Rampage kind of just seemed to be going through the motions in that fight IMO, he knew he was in no danger of losing and just put it on cruise control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Man, The Reem vs. Werdum and Barnett vs. Rogers is finally happening. When they moved the card ahead I got real depressed. Thought with all that time someone was bound to get injured in training. Carwin vs. JDS in a couple weekends? All about the top of the heavyweight heap (minus Cain and Brock) in the next few weeks, will be very interesting to say the least.

styx491 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for condensing the summer dates, that makes me really excited for all the MMA events like every weekend. Also: http://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-137-fight-card-updates?changeRegion=1&fb_comment_id=fbc_10150206031177092_16704968_10150206032082092 UFC President Dana White’s tweet Wednesday afternoon was short and sweet – “U wanted it! U GOT IT!!!”What the fans wanted was a showdown between UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and the STRIKEFORCE welterweight title holder, Nick Diaz. So on October 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, the UFC 137 Superfight becomes a reality. Unbeaten since 2007, St-Pierre has taken on and beaten all comers, barely losing a round in the process. Since regaining his title from Matt Serra in 2008, he has turned back the challenges of Jon Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Josh Koscheck, and Jake Shields. But this fall, he will face off against the man many believe has the style to dethrone him, Shields’ longtime training partner Diaz. A proud native of Stockton, California, Diaz, like GSP, has not lost since 2007. Along the way, the UFC vet has defeated Frank Shamrock, Scott Smith, Mach Sakurai, KJ Noons, and Paul Daley, and with his world-class striking skills and jiu-jitsu game improving with each fight, he is on track to shock the world on October 29th.
