    Remember that you're talking to a type-A here, so 6 for 9 is just an okay performance on my part ;)

    As always, it was a pleasure watching UFC and posting with you mookie. :)

    I'm somewhat surprised we didn't have more people in here with the event being free. But a good night overall, regardless.

    Hamill didn't do anything when he got Bisping down, if he'd done just a little, he would have won...though Bisping really didn't do much offensively, and the split decision was a fair assessment, but come on 30 - 27?

    Kongo with the improved ground defense, and even was agressive taking Cro Cop down, but it was Kongo physical dominance that Cro Cop couldn't deal with in the end. Looking forward to Kongo's continued improvement

    haven't read anyone's posts yet, been waiting for this next fight, Rampage vs Henderson...my head tells me Dan, but my instinct says Rampage, if he can come in as focused as he did with Chuck. Hope it's a great fight, being the first ufc/pride championship.

    wow, first round down with Rampage and Dangerous, some haymakers that didn't land, great mui-tai knees by Dan to Rampage's outside left thigh, impressive ground defense by Rampage when Dan got side control.

    end of two, quiet at the start, not to impressed, and a little surprised at Dan's inability to do damage when he had side control, Rampage threw some great forearms/elbows/punches to the body for the short time he had top control on the ground

    better third round, dan still has nothing when he has control on the ground, a great exchange of blows on their feet at the start by both fighters, Rampage some light damage on the ground, but Dan great reversal and kamora attempt, I'm thinking 2 -1 Rampage so far

    four to Rampage, controlled Dan the entire round, nice standing exchange toward the end by both fighters.

    4-1 Rampage, Dan needs a tko of some type

    oops, meant 3-1 Rampage last post, but after round 5, the best round of the fight, Dan finally got agressive, took chances, and I loved the Rampage didn't back down, even though he had the fight won. Both fighters hurt each other at least once this round, Dan caught Rampage twice nicely, both fighters took some shots, Dan showed some nice ground and pound, and Rampage showed some more great ground defense...Rampage 4 - 1.

    205 is seriously loaded with talent, there will be no mediocre opponents contending for the title anytime soon.

    great fight, loved all the different aspects each fighter brought to it, I think Dan was too conservative in his approach, though it he would have kept up the mui-tai knees to the outer leg for the 2nd and 3rd rounds, it may have been helpful for the end of the fight.

    nice picks, releash. :) i think i just had the main event spoiled by my old buddy, LBC, unless he's joking around...i'm not going back to check the rest of this page in case cropdustress has been in here.

    alexander by submission is going against the grain, but you almost had your cote submission last time so you never know...

    enjoy the show! :)
    Yeah, I wasnt here til just now. and I didnt spoil it for you this time :D

    But oh man. Cro Cop :( :o

    :D funny stuff.

    i guess you were watching the west coast feed, beachdweller? seems as though everyone has taken off, probabaly to watch the show again. :) good point about dan's knees. he was getting a lot of power into those from such an odd angle. could have paid off in the fourth and fifth.

    great final round. i really enjoyed that fight, but it was frustrating watching kongo try for the takedown in the clinch against the fence. he usually throws some very nice elbows in that position and i think he could have done a lot of damage there. still, quite a performance by cheick kongo to outstrike, and especially out kick, mirko cro cop.

    hey! quick question about being in the clich against the fence.... how come they split up Mirko and Kongo so often when they were in that position, but they'll let Randy Couture stay in it for a full 5 (boring) minutes?!? :confused:

    crap, if Bisping lets this go to decision, he's going to lose on points.

    HOLY FUCKING COW!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe BISPING won by split decision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't believe it either... i know we were cheering for Bisping... but I think Hamill got robbed on that decision.... :(

    Where is CEG tonight?? I guess I'm gonna have to be girly without her .... GSP was looking HOT tonight. And Henderson isn't bad either ;)

    Good morning guys!! sorry i wasn't here last night.... I logged on before the show to see if you guys were 'warming up' - but then i saw LBC's posts about the Cro Cop fight and quickly left again so as to not ruin any more.... :mad:

    hehehe... yah, i got all giggly when they showed GSP.... who were those guys he was with? ;)

    heheheh . . .duran duran is terrible entrance music not matter how old/young you are! :p

    hamill and bisping was a strange fight. I guess hamill wanted to prove he has a standup game but like beachdweller said, he probably lost because he kept letting bisping back up from the ground. I smell a rematch!

    as always gsp was looking gorgeous in the crowd. he was sitting with brandon vera. i'm not sure who the other guy was ...mookie will probably know. although they all had too much clothing on . . .we need octagon boys!!! ;)
