http://www.*****************/showthread.php?p=26245#post26245 holy ****..I've never realised how much bigger Ortiz was compared to Evans This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Anyway as far as I'm concerned... I don't give a **** about the event...just a couple of fights... Anderson Silva vs Nate Marquardt Antonio Rodrigo vs Heath Herring and that's about it really... Ortiz vs Evans doesn't matter in my book (I'm tired of Ortiz) Sherk is a great fighter and all but...don't care about his fight vs Franca. I'm just looking forward to see fights like Jackson vs Hendo Couture vs Gonzaga Crocop vs Kongo... I just can't help myself...I really don't like the ufc , I'm missing pride...big time. It's kind of a childish reaction on my part but I can't help it. I'm just being honest here. the only reason why I'm interested in Silva vs Nate is because I used to watch some of Silva's fights when he was still in Japan... Only reason why I give a **** about gonzaga vs couture is because I wanna see a possible gonzaga vs crocop rematch. Only reason why I actually give a **** about jackson vs hendo is because I get to see a part of what I used to like about pride fc , even though these two are fighting in this lame ufc org now... I don't like ufc's format , I don't like the org's style , approach , production , commentators ...I don't like Dana White.
Agreed Boxingcar but the bottomline is UFC is going to here for a while.Unless you fancy watching Hero`s you dont have much of a choice.As for the Evans Tito match i honestly cannot see what the big deal is.Evans has never shown me anything for me to think he could hang with the best light heavies in the world.Iv always thought his way too small for the weight and should drop down to at least middle.As for Tito stick a fork in him the boy is done.
For some reason, this card is missing an X-factor. I dont care though, I just want Fedor to become a player and Cro-cop to regain his glory. So they can fight agaist the elite of the UFC, like cotoure.
It's time to stop crying over pride, put down your soother and enjoy the UFC most of the good fighters are coming over anyhow and we can now have a "unified" champ in all divisions, I really don't know what all the wimpering is about.
Evans is not small for LW he fought at HW during TUF at around 220. 205 is perfect for him, cutting from 220 to 185 is way too much if even possble.
I am so looking forward to this event, a deep well put together card with some top quality fighters. I also like the americanisd production of the ufc. Sherk looks amazing and nog looks like he meens buisness. Evans is very underated, he's got a lot in his locker and i fancy him to kick tit's ass, depending on how muchtit has left in him.
I agree boxingcar, my heart is not in ufc like it was with Pride, youse can keep saying get over it all you want, but i'll never be truly impressed with ufc, just soem of the match ups i'll want to see.
I will never understand how fans of a sport can be so attached to one organization. Were you a fan of Pride, or a fan of MMA? I am a fan of MMA, and would love to see the great match-ups no matter where they happen. Trading elbows on the ground for knees and vice versa is no big deal to me. You can kiss foot stomps and soccer kicks to the head on the ground goodbye, and I don't think that they reflect well on the sport anyways. I love brutality, but when you have that in a fight, it leans away from being the MMA sport that it is today and gives everyone who is against it a big reason to oppose MMA. The only thing that I would change is allowing BOTH knees and elbows on the ground, and would still like to see stomps, and soccer kicks to the head of a downed opponent left out. Either way... I sure as hell don't get caught up crying about what rules it is under, and what organization the fight is taking place at. I want to see great fights, simple as that. The UFC is where it is at right now, so you should be a huge fan of the UFC and thanking them for giving us these fights. Crying over MMA organizations like that makes about as much sense to me as crying about whether Oscar vs Floyd was for the WBC title, or the IBF. I mean... I simply wouldn't have wanted to watch the fight if it was for the IBF organization!!:-(
exactly, as long as they give you the fights we want I don't care if it's Pride UFC or Bodog.It's time to toughin up MMA fans and stop the pouting :dead
