    Sherk looked awesome. Not boring, imo.

    Silva fight was stopped a little early.

    Nog looked like total crap and overweight.

    One of Nog's, like, gimmicks is his chin. The guy's taken so much punishment in his career and never been stopped that he' probably going to get to go longer than most in a bad postion.

    No they didn't stop it because they didn't want Nog to lose, so they let it go.


    And Nate I think was just SO disapointed that he just sat there. Not saying he wasn't hurt but he wasn't pounded on THAT badly.

    That sucks :fire !!!!!



    It wasn't THAT great a card anyway Nog/HH was really good other then that Sherk rolled up Hermes with ease although he ate 4 or 5 really hard kness to the chin. The other fights, don't even waste your time.

    Great???!! How? All it was,was Silva threw a flying knee that Nate caught finally wrestling him to the ground. Nate almost getting caught in a triangle, Silva revesing position and then pounding him out. What was so great about it?

    Yeah, it wasn't too great. It was what I expected...a Silva victory. He did what he had to do to defend his title, but it wasn't a back and forth epic, I can tell you that. Better than Rashad/Ortiz though. Man, I hated that fight.

    I didn't really like any of them except HH/Nog, and I thought Sherk/Franca was alright. The sheer dominates of the ground fighting was impressive, albeit a little frustrating at times, impressive none the less.

    Another real stacked card.
    Nearly all of Prides cards were ****ing quality. some of those Gps and Final conflicts were the best MMA cards in history.
    I reckon 2005 was the best, the middleweight Gp was great, especially the last Final Conflict 2005 with the Fedor/crocop match on it.
    Phenomonal.

    Actually I did order it and tape it watched it when I got home. With this job 3-11 I wont be able to be online for UFC events anymore so ill just pay for it and watch when I get home :twisted: Was a decent card though I wasnt buying into this being the greatest card ever it was even close to the best UFC cards ever.

    Nog's legs and head where lifted, dazed as hell yes, KO'd no.

    Yeah there is a 99.9% chance he'd Heath would've finished him off if he'd gone in, but he ****ed up and McCarthy made the right call (as usual) of not stopping it then.

    A draw? who would have thought that, well Jimmie we'll have to continue on another fight I guess. I'll miss Mercer
