    that's an awsome fight that i can't wait for.... i'm a fan of both guys so i don't know who i'm going with. Clay will come out like a bat out of hell but i wonder if mac might catch him in an arm lock or choke.

    :eek: UFC 184? :D is GSP still champ!?!?! :confused:

    yup, he defeated fitch in a 5 round war which is now considered the greatest fight of all time. Then went on to beat bj in less than a round with knees to the head (yup the ufc added these when they saw how big of a success dream has become). And finally ended the year out by beating anderson silva at 185 with the exact same flying scissor heel hook that chonan beat him with and all watch in awe... GSP is now considered the greatest of all time, sorry you missed it buddy

    i meant to say thanks before for indulging my preview, leafs! :D

    +1 on ninja. that would have been a great fight. it probably would have meant a little bit of submission attempts too. as it "stands" ;) i can't see too many times in these matches where we'll see the ground unless someone is desperate.

    i'm also interested to see and hear the reaction after the carano vs. young match. kaitlin has good muay thai, and her wins have been dominant with knees and high kicks. she won 3 of 4 of those fights against fighters who were fighting in their first night of mma, though. (kaitlin had won one mma match against another debut fighter prior to winning a hookn'shoot three round, one night tournament.) that's why i think this will be or could be fight of the night and surprise some people. there's bad women's mma and there's bad men's mma. same with the good matches. women can be every bit exciting and every bit as technical as the guys...sometimes moreso. as i said, gina's the most technical striker on the card, in my opinion. that's how i think she wins this match, through much better technical muay thai and more experience facing the more experienced fighters. her hands are also way better from what i have seen.

    that's a good idea about having baroni as the opener. as much as i dislike him, he always comes to fight and put on a show. i hope i'm wrong about the HW's but i just haven't seen much from the HW division in EliteXC or any of their partner organizations other than antonio silva and the odd "guest" appearance. brett rogers is undefeated, but the fights i have seen from him have been kind of sloppy despite the wins.

    in any case, a free show on saturday night! :) should be very interesting...

    the best part of this is that we get a free show on saturday which means 3 weeks in a row of fights... This show has a lot to live up to though with how good ufc 84 was, i hope they can deliver.

    hey guys, silva wrote a new blog and it was a good read so i thought i'd post it up....


    Wand comments on knockout win
    “I was under a lot of pressure”


    Wanderlei Silva left the octagon at UFC 84 redeemed. Coming off three back to back losses, the former Pride champion simply walked through Keith Jardine and in 36 seconds was already celebrating the knockout. Back at home, the fighter made a point of updating his blog, on which he wrote of the feeling after his first win since his UFC return.

    “My greatest joy was without a doubt to be able to bring happiness to those of you who never gave up on believing in me. My true friends, now we have been redeemed. I spent the day reading and re-reading the messages from you on the internet. You have no idea how happy I am. I am certain any fighter would love to have fans like you. I went through three hard months, training for this fight, and it wasn’t just once or twice that the messages from you uplifted me and stimulated me to keep on training intensely. This fight was decisive. I was under a lot of pressure. I had to win by all means. But at these tough times I could see you guys were with me. To have the affection of you guys on my side is an honor, it is priceless. I was very moved and felt like crying after the win. Thank God I cry from happiness. At that moment I thought of all of you excited by this so long-awaited moment!! Now you can also talk to me on myspace (myspace.com/wanderleisilva.com). Here I’ll be able to get to know you better. I haven’t the words to thank you enough for the strength you have given me. Let’s beat our chests and celebrate with much joy, because this victory is ours!! Thank you so much.”
