    true, true, then the test will begin! ;)

    i couldn't have been happier with tonight and with how the gsp fight tunred out anyway, so to have the fantasy thing going on as well just made it all the more interesting.

    did anybody get bonus points for a fight? it's tough!

    nope, my best pick was Manny by Leg Lock in the 1st round... :cool:

    i wish you could see the detail of each other's picks!

    hehehe.... i think Couture should change his nickname from The Natural to "Macho Man"... :)

    speaking of, it would have been nice to have randy's commentary during the silva liddell fight. with him having trained with wanderlei and fought chuck three times, it would have been nice to hear his perspective.

    also, natural still sounds good to me...:D

    yeah, i know what you're saying...but how can you pick a DQ?!?! that would take some fortune telling abilities...i don't think i could bring myself to pick a dq, too tough! :D

    edit: nice work with the 27!!! i looked over it again and i tied with the georges st-pierre hughes fight at 20, so two at 20. you kicked my butt for highest score! i wonder how lbc did fight by fight...hmm...:)

    i was close to all 4 on my Liddel/Silva.... i picked a Split Decision... i was actually rooting for Silva towards the end to that the fight would be even closer!! :)


    ok mookie, i'm off to bed to try and sleep.... :D thanks for a fun night! hopefully one day soon we will all be able to watch an event together in person *cough*montreal*cough* ;):D

    the fantasy league is awesome!! thanks for setting it up for us, mookie!! :D

    now we have an official way to track our picks... i may rock for now, but wait until Releash gets back... we'll all be in trouble!! :p:)


    Aww man there's a fantasy league??? Wish I had known about it. I dunno as many of the fighters as you all do. The first 2 matches...I knew Melvin and thats it haha.

    I have to say...YAY Chuck!!!! He fought soooo well! Gave me a few scares but pulled it out in a HELL of a fight!!! I knew he would let himself lose 3 in a row. He's too much of a competator for that.

    Canada Represent!!!! Yay Georges!!!!! I was worried about how he'd do as he only had like a month to prepare for this fight. I'm so happy for him...he dominated that whole match...it was AWESOME to see.
    That said...I have to say I was a little disapoointed in Steve Mazagotti (sp) tonight. I thought that a) Georges shoulda lost a point for the shots to the back of the head...he was warned at least 3 times....and maybe both fighters brought back to their feet like John McCarthy likes to do. and b) Georges shoulda been warned for the punch he gave Hughes while Hughes was on his knees....and c) Matt Hughes asked Mazagotti 3 times how much time was left and Steve didn't answer him...I've seen Refs tell fighters so I thought that was a little unfair to Matt. I dunno how the rules work but I never saw Matt say I submit so I was surprised when the fight was stopped.

    I don't think a) or b) had any affect on the outcome...George was so dominant that even if they had been stood up after the punches to the head George woulda still ended up on top of Matt.

    The only thing is the end...I felt really bad for Matt cause I know if Matt knew there was only 8 seconds left he wouldn't have tapped...he woulda let George break his arm and came out and tried his best in the third round.

    I am a Georges St.Pierre fan and am estatic. I just would have liked to have seen a cleaner fight is all.

    indeed! montreal!!! :)

    great night tonight, so try to have a good rest. i'm too excited to watch the show again.

    also, you may be the only person other than the guy who does pre-fight predictions for mmaweekly that picked a decision in the liddell silva fight!...just so you know you're probabaly in about the top 1 % or so for picking any kind of decision!

    i must say too that i earned a lot of respect for both chuck and wanderlei tonight too. both guys came to fight like they always said they would. years of waiting for the fight and it's not a letdown...that's an accomplishment to live up to so much hype, talk and speculation about what a great fight it would be.

    Yes, actually just like that. :D Great match, Wanderlei took it like a champion.

    Funny when GSP took his pants off, the two girls beside me at the bar instantly commented pleasantly on the whole shorts thing with raised eyebrows...

    heh...seems to be a universal thought process.
    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.

    hey ACCBootlegGoddess, i will send you an invite tomorrow so you can play in the next one. :)

    i was starting to get worried about a possible point deduction with all the warnings, but the severity and intent weren't enough to warrant a point being taken away...although, as you said, it was three warnings. i think i was too caught up in georges having dominant positions i wasn't paying attention to the smaller strikes! :D it's legal to punch to a down opponent, so there was no worries on that one.

    that's a good question you bring up about asking for the time. i've heard referees shout it out before, but it's usually only during nuetral action that i can recall. i'm not so sure they're allowed to tell a fighter caught in a submission how much time is left because i'd assume that would constitute influencing the outcome of the fight?

    i must say i was happy about poetic justice that georges finished him with an armbar, especially. perfect! :)

    edit: on second viewing i would more likely say he was saying tap, then i'm tapping at the end.

    so, how did everyone's picks turn out? i was 8/10... :cool:

    ranked 53rd in the fantasy... damn, i was so hoping for that t-shirt.... :p

    edit: Mook, you took a big leap in the standings... you must've had that GSP fight dead on!! :)

    hey, you failed to mention that's 53rd out of 17,873!!! :eek: that's pretty impressive, ceg. congrats!!

    i had 91st, so i'll give myself a tiny pat on the back. ;)

    also, i just looked at the top 20 and you were only 34 pts. away from winning a t-shirt!

    That was one of the worst PPV's I have ever paid money for. Talk about shitty fights. Other than Lidell/Silva the whole night was shit fights.

    Won't be shelling out cash for a UFC PPV anytime again soon.

    the sanchez and sao match was terrible, but other than that, i thought it was great. the two main matches, especially!

    to each their own, eh? most people seem to be giving it rave reviews, so i'm just surprised that you thought it was that bad.

    did you at least win some money? :)

    Matt was on his knees. I thought it was illegal to hit an opponant if he's on his knees because he's in an unstable position or something. Perhaps I was misinformed.
    Poetic Justice it is! I love it!

    Ohh thanks for the invite :D

    Ohh thanks for the invite :D

    only when we're talking knees or kicks. punches, elbows and shoulder strikes are legal. you can only knee or kick to the body when the fighter has at least one point down.

    no worries on the invite. it was fun tonight, so it will be an added bonus for the shows. :) i forgot, though, that i need your email address to send you the invite, so if you want to pm me, i can do it up!

    edit: after watching the fight again, i clued in that you were talking about the knees georges threw to matt's chest in the second. those are legal. anything from the neck up is not, so he is free to throw a knee or kick to the chest, stomach, arms, shoulders, or legs in that position.
