UFC 71 was absolutely fantastic.
What did you think about Keith Jardine's pummeling by unknown Houston Alexander?
Those upper cuts actually had Jardine off his feet.
Brutal.

Absolutely nothing.

Assuming the question was addressed to me, which it probably wasn't.

i love watching MMA..nothing better than a stunning knockout (like cro-cops on wandy in the pride open-weight tournament) or a wonderful display of ground control/submissions (the early gracie...saku etc)

gotta admit that i do occasionally fast-forward the action if it's going nowhere

I really enjoyed seeing cro cop being walloped at UFC 70.
Destroyed by a lights out head kick of all things.

For the last year Cro Cop has been in the top five and the poster boy for strikers in MMA. He has got cocky and i think definetly under estimated his opponent. Cro Cop of two years ago wouldnt of let his opponent even get near him like he did in UFC 70.

Not the best looking line up, but you never know what treasures might be unearthed.
I still can't get over that Houston Alexander guy.
The crowd was booing him at close quarters when he came in and he'd been written off on all the MMA forums.

btw, which kunt gave this thread a 1 star rating.

gave the thread a star boost cmn

in praise of my favourite tafy mod i reopen this great thread!!

UFC 75 is around the corner and is destined to be a cracker

i predict:

Rampage will be destroyed by Henderson

Cro-Cop will hammer the crap out of Kengo (due to his pathetic show against Gonzaga)

Hamil/Bisping will be an absolute cracker! if hamill can take him down early he'll get the decision but if it stays on the feet bisping will knock him out

great article here....the tide is turning folks!! MMA is the future
Telegraph Blogs : Sport : Gareth A. Davies : September 2007

This Autumn promises to be a special one for British boxing, yet this Saturday 17,000 fight fans will flock to the O2 Arena in London Docklands to see not the sweet science, but the Ultimate Fighting Championships. It will be as big a fight night in London since the days of Frank Bruno

UFC is certainly exploding in popularity. In the US the UFC - where combatants use a mixture of boxing, kickboxing, Greco-Roman wrestling and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu - has become as much a staple of the US sports fans' diet as gridiron, basketball and baseball. Such is the UFC's appeal to 18-35 year old males that more traditional sports like boxing are attempting to copy the league's combination of hard rock, great looking girls and super-sleek 21st century presentation.

"In America, we've gotten to the point where when fight fans are gathering around the water cooler on Monday and ask their buddies 'Did you see the fight Saturday night?' they are talking about the UFC," said UFC President Dana White. "I'm a huge boxing fan, we were delighted Ricky Hatton accepted our invitation to train for his last fight in Las Vegas at our private gym, but the UFC as a company is bigger than boxing as an entire sport in the US right now."

There in lies the problem, how can you have a sport run by one company. UFC can't really be taken seriously until it branches out and becomes a set of rules rather than an all in one outfit. Although I quite like the fighting, the set up and promotion is a little too similar too close to wrestling for comfort.

he is the Pride FC champion in TWO weight divisions boris!!

Henderson knocked out Wanderlei Silva in their last fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he is like a younger, stronger, smaller randy couture. the bookies have him at 10/12 to beat Rampage so i'd reckon that it is a good vindication

you've really got to go and watch the Pride FC boris.....it was the greatest fighting show on earth......far far far better than the UFC (as is being proved now in their relentless efforts to sign all the Pride FC stars)

again........the company that owns UFC; ZUFFA, bought Pride FC which was the greatest show on earth. Pride in now dead

i dearly hope that a new organisation will rise to challenge the UFC 'cos all their seppo bullshit and their dumbass booing fans really piss me off
