    that's certainly understandable. i think a lot of people are kind of indifferent about this one. definitely not my favourite on paper, but we'll see how it pans out.

    edit: although i am very excited about the prospect of nogueira possibly winning the HW championship. :)

    Yeah, it's more of the Brock v Mir fight and the undercard. I don't like Mir at all, but am hoping he kills Lesner. That would unfortunately keep him around though, and disappoint me. It's a lose, lose situation.

    I want more Houston Alexander haha He has no ground game, no submission game, but I like seeing him knock guys out. I was there when he treated Jardine like a red headed step child. Was awesome.

    They need to get him in there with another puncher, or even Marvin Eastman, depending on how he does tonight. That would be a cool fight. I think they're both in the same division, but not positive.

    The Ultimate Fighter BS that's gonna hold up Rampage fighting forever is a pile of CRAPPP also... has me pretty pissed

    nice. :) good on ya to find it!

    great performance fom tyson there once again. he landed numerous clean shots and had that right going from the beginning. i was really impressed with tibau's ability to take him down, but griffin was equally impressive getting back to his feet. tyson's hands looked great.

    ..and man, does tibau have a chin or what!?! :eek:

    ...beautiful guillotine finish for ricardo in his return as well. nice for him to get a win under his belt for his confidence. i look forward to seeing what he can do now that he's back.

    horn vs. marquardt coming up...could go either way. two excellent fighters with a lot of experience could make for a great fight, but their styles kind of clash a bit i think. that could make it a snoozer. i hope it's not, though!

    i'm surprised nate was able to dominate jeremy like he did in the first. quite an immediate turnaround from his back to the standing guillotine in the second. impressive win for nate.

    better night than i thought so far...

    well, that was a questionable stand up and point deduction at the beginning. i didn't even hear a warning and it looked like only one hammerfist to the back of the head. the fight could have gone totally the other way if it had stayed down.

    frank took some serious shots and was impressively cool to hang in there to get the knee bar. good on him.

    at least brock showed that he is in there to fight. i'm intrigued about his next few fights and how he will progress while he continues to learn. maybe a little too aggressive, but he still looked like a beast on the ground.

    I'm calling bullshit on the Mir fight. Since when do we stand guys up, and give no warning??

    +1 over here. :confused:

    ...but then...wow! what a comeback by nogueira. as always he comes back to win the fight. what a quick takedown and what a slick guillotine!! he almost always goes for the armbar from side control. i bet that's what tim was expecting. beautiful!! nogueira is the champ and he challenges randy couture to come back and fight him. i've heard werdum is next, though...

    nogueira! :)

    too aggressive and too close to be vulnerable as well.
    i liked Brock's effort though.

    i think this next prize is based on a few events, so i'm confident you'll pull a nogueira, lbc. :D

    congrats to ceg once again! dominating the fight league! she called the eastman martin decision too, if i recall correctly. i'm going to have to start believing in those decision predictions! :)

    good to see a few of the pre-lims. boetsch looked suprisingly good on a few days notice, chris lytle looked overwhelming in his fight, and for some reason nakamura decided to stand and trade with rob emerson for the entire fight. i thought he'd be going for the takedowns starting in round one. aside from the knee, it was basically a boxing match. damn, i wanted to get some points on that one!

    overall, though, i must say i was pleasantly surprised by this show. i think maybe it was because my expectations were low. it turned out to be a good one...especially with the nogueira win!!!

    Just got in from the bar and I thought the card turned out pretty good. I didn't do too well on my picks, yet again lol. But on the bright side I was entertained for the whole card.
    I thought Brock was pretty good, he did what i thought he would do and really showed his power and wrestling skills. But then Mir did what i was afraid of and caught Brock in a bad spot and capitalized. Still, with some more training and mainly experience, he really could be a force.
    Nog was awsome! I really thought Tim was going to drag this fight out and get another decision, but then nog comes from way behind and catches Tim in the choke, amazing.
    Anyways, it was a good night of beer and fights so i'm off to bed. Congrats on the win, and very good picks by all of you.

    good to hear it was a good night. :) i'm still in shock about the finish to the nogueira sylvia fight! awesome is right.

    as gsp would say, "don't let this loss put you down. come back man. " :) it seems ceg is intending to hang on to that title!

    Hey everybody!! I'm back from ice fishing! great trip... the weather was beautiful... the fish were biting a bit.... i caught 2 perch and one decent sized pickerel.... i also caught a bit of a hangover, and very little sleep... ;):D

    The Wintersleep show was very good, as always... a bit of a different vibe this time though... the crowd was bigger than ever, and i missed that real band/crowd connection we were getting with the smaller shows... still fantastic though.... i have a feeling these boys are going to be making it quite big in the next while.... :)

    So.... WOW! sounds like it was a good UFC show afterall! Am I ever suprised by the results of the Fantasy League!! hahahha.... i never would have expected to beat out mookie on this one... i ended up 8/9 on the winners... not too shabby... :D



    and oh. btw.....














    we're going to MONTREAL!!! I'm looking at our ticket order confirmation right now..... Section 119, row T. Not quite where we wanted to be, but it was hard to find just the right seats, when they don't tell you which sections are which prices... i should have called on the phone.... oh well.... like mookie said, as long as we're in the building!!! and we are! :D
    ~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~

    UFC 83 press conference will air live at 10 a.m eastern on all four sportsnet networks in canada and will also be streamed online for those who may be interested and away from a tv at that time. :)



    Monday’s UFC 83 Press Conference Airing Online
    MMA Junkie.com
    February 3, 2008


    A press conference that takes place tomorrow to in Montreal to announce UFC 83 will be available to watch online.

    The press conference, which takes place at Montreal’s Bell Centre, includes UFC President Dana White, as well Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra. UFC welterweight champion Serra will meet interim champ (and French-Canadian) St. Pierre in a title unification bout at UFC 83. The trio will officially announce the event’s April 19 date and Montreal location during tomorrow’s event.

    The press conference, which takes place at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT, will be streamed online and available for free at Yahoo! Sports and UFC.com.

    In addition to the press conference, Serra and St. Pierre will take part in an autograph signing from 1-3 p.m. local time.

    Tickets to UFC 83 are currently available as a pres-sale to UFC fan-club members, and the tickets go on sale the general public later this week. However, fans attending the autograph signing can also purchase tickets during the two-hour event during a special two-hour pre-sale.

    UFC 83 will be the first-ever event in Canada for the Las Vegas-based fight organization. The UFC announced its intentions of holding two previous events in the country, but plans for the shows were eventually scrapped due to scheduling conflicts.

    In addition to St. Pierre vs. Serra, UFC 83 is expected to include Rich Franklin vs. Travis Lutter, Michael Bisping vs. Charles McCarthy, Marc Bocek vs. Mac Danzig, Joe Doerksen vs. Jason MacDonald, and more.
