    mais, bien sur! it goes without saying! ;)

    ...no tanner shirt yet. i'm beginning to agree with releash more and more that someone in the post was a tanner fan...:D you didn't get your fightclub shirt yet!?! if we're both still waiting by the 19th, there's something up!

    maybe we could all get matching "hughes sucks" tees? ...wouldn't really be relevant to the event, i guess....

    "poor ol' montreal!" :D

    heheh... i knew you really meant "us"... fighters? pfft... :p

    hughes sucks tees?? i love it! by the way canada post is running, it seems we might both be going topless! :eek:

    actually i just checked, and it looks like the fight club tees are on back order...

    i was also reading the forums, and trying to get some info on pre & post fight parties... it looks like there's something planned, but i can't quite pick out the relevant info from all the threads! at a glance, it looks like the pre party is sold-out... and the post party is at a club somewhere.... it's exhausting just reading about it. makes me want to get a case of beer and go back to the hotel room! :D

    i'll keep trying to filter through the posts...

    wooooohooooo montreal here we come!!!!!!

    i'm so excited for this. I've been off work for the 2nd day in a row now (damn cold/flu) and have trying to find out where gsp's after party is going to be, but no luck as of yet. I didn't even know that there was a pre-party so i'm not that upset that it's sold out. We should setup a pre-party at a club on cresent (close to where you guys are staying), or on st. denis (i've heard of some really good clubs around there), ofcourse, after the weigh-ins. Then saturday i'm goin to take a trip down st. catherine to do a bit of shopping and then get hammered before we go in for the fights. Going to be so much fun, there are 6 of us going down, but i think only 3 of us really like to party.

    edit - hey mookie, you might want to change the ufc 85 fights. I just read on ufc.com that shogun has to withdraw, he ruptured his ACL in his left knee and will require surgery.

  • i'm certainly down for a couple of pops after the weigh-ins! :)

    sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, so i hope you are feeling better soon, leafs. you'll be good to go for the 19th, though!

    ceg, my mailman is still passed out from the triangle you suggested...:D i thought someone would have called a doctor by now!

    change made. :)

    that's too bad about shogun. i was really looking forward to the match with chuck. that certainly blows what would have been a huge main event in london.

    i hope his surgery goes well, and that he can come back strong.

    ya it was going to be a great fight. Unfortunatly the only matchup i can think of for Chuck now is against Bonner, which i don't think will be nearly as good of a fight (anything can happen in the ufc though).

  • yeah, i was kind of mulling over who is available at 205, too. bonnar is out with an injury for a while...he was supposed to face hammill at the next fight night. then there are a number of guys competing over the next couple of months, especially at ufc 84...

    wilson gouveia is really the only one i can think of who is available, so who knows? like you said, anything can happen...they may just take chuck off the card and try to put together another headliner.

    edit: was just reading that they plan to announce a replacement "shortly", so chuck will remain the headliner i guess.
  • i was waiting on a journal entry from evan on his site. he finally put one up, and i'm in tears over here. i'm so happy for evan...

    that's an incredibly inspiring story... a truly strong person, both in body and mind.

    i'm grateful that he came to the realization that strength and happiness comes from having people that love, respect, and support you, and from having goals to achieve (as big, or small as they may be).

    a good reminder to everyone, whether you're dealing with addiction, or not!


    i wanna be on Team Tanner!! :o:)

    wow! thanks for the link mookie, that was an amazing read. I'm very happy for Evan and wish him all the luck in the world. I'm actually pretty impressed that he would take a fight with Okami in that condition, i mean Okami is no joke, especially for a comeback fight.

  • oh cool, GSP is going to pounce on sore back boy in MTL...

    This should be interesting,
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

  • Liddell vs Alexander would be a standup war. But they will probably give Chuck a can now that Shogun is gone.

    ya but houston is fighting in the next fight night on the 2nd, so i don't see that happening. If bonner can get healed up in a month i can really see them putting him in the cage with chuck. All depends on what his injury is.

    09/19/05, 05/09/06, 05/10/06
  • that's going to be a gooder...alexander vs. irvin. actually, that whole card is stellar! :) unbelievable, really.

    i can't remember what the injury was for bonnar...ankle or foot, maybe?

    thanks to you guys for taking the time to read evan's journal entry. he may have lost the fight to okami, but he had an important personal win that he really needed that night too and it sounds like he got it.
  • leafs4everleafs4ever Posts: 833
    i just read that bonner's injury is a torn ligament in his knee, so he is out for atleast 6 months. So it looks like he out of the running for the fight against chuck. By looking at the upcoming cards and the lightweight fighters i think you may be right with gouveia mookie. He's on a 4 fight win streak with a KO over lambert in his last fight, maybe it's time to move him up to face a big name.

    Wow, I had no idea Evan was in that rough of shape only a few months ago. Congratulations to him for having the courage and determination to make his come back. He may some work to do to get completely back into fighting form, but anyone with that amount of willpower can achieve so much with a little time. :)

    yep, well said. :) as leafs said, okami is a top MW, so if evan can take this loss and find something positive in it, then it is an important life learning experience for him. one that i hope he can take with him to keep using that willpower you mentioned, and be even better next time. congrats to okami, though, as he fought well and was the better fighter on saturday night. :)
  • IF they ever change their archaic rules in Alberta and the UFC comes, Im there for sure.

    i thought it was legal in alberta, cree?
  • so i was watching the 82 show again earlier, and was thinking about a possible okami vs. silva rematch for the title some time in the future and started thinking about how many of the guys on the 82 card had fought each other before. indulge my ufc nerdiness, or simply skip to the next post not made by me...:D it's me wasting my time really...

    anderson silva - lost by dq to yushin okami, defeated chris leben, and if roan carneiro had remained on the card...defeated roan carneiro

    dan henderson - if akihiro gono had remained on the card...defeated akihiro gono

    heath herring - lost to evan tanner, defeated evan tanner, lost to jake o'brien

    chris leben - defeated luigi fioravanti, lost to anderson silva

    evan tanner - defeated heath herring, lost to heath herring

    yushin okami - defeated anderson silva by dq

    jon fitch - defeated luigi fioravanti, defeated diego sanchez, and if roan carneiro had remained on the card...defeated roan carneiro

    jake o'brien - defeated heath herring

    luke cummo - lost to josh koscheck

    luigi fioravanti - lost to chris leben, lost to jon fitch

    josh koscheck - defeated luke cummo, defeated diego sanchez

    diego sanchez - lost to josh koshcheck, lost to jon fitch


    ...that's a lot of crossover...
