Bisping is gonna kill this fucker.

I love "Dangerous" Dan Henderson but I love RAMPAGE more..

Can't wait..

Is the guy fighting Bisping the deaf guy from the Ultimate Fighter a few seasons ago??

Also, WOOOOOOOO @ Cro Cop and Houston Alexander being on the card..

ummm no? there have been a lot of instances where dana has been untruthful, but Id think on this its def. for a purpose. Dana would be pretty dumb to give that news out to somebody so he could go and tell people such as yourself. then again maybe he hasnt signed and hes just going to announce him in order to pressure him into doing it. Fedor is supsed to be there today so you probably did see him and thats cool as hell.

If they announce Fedor, his first fight may very well be against Arlovski. I know Andrei and he tinks that theyre trying to get rid of him and they think fedor would kill him and if that were to happen then UFC could use that as a reason not to resign him.

Would anyone give Arlovski a shot at beating him? Glass jaw and all..I would guess no.

Predictions for tonight:

Anthony Torres Vs. Jess Liaudin
Naoyuki Kotani Vs. Dennis Siver
Tomasz Drwal Vs. Thiago Silva
Gleison Tibau Vs. Terry Etim
Houston Alexander Vs. Alessio Sakara <--- Potential Fight of the Night
Marcus Davis Vs. Paul Taylor
Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Cheick Kongo
Matt Hamill Vs. Michael Bisping <--- Potential Fight of the Night
Quinton Jackson Vs. Dan Henderson

Fedor-Arlovski would be a good fight for the UFC. UNLESS, by some freak accident Arlovski wins and they never get to set up Fedor-Couture (at least not with the prestige it would have). I could see them going straight for the big match up rather than risking a freak loss by Fedor.

Arlovski has the potential to beat any heavyweight in the world, but he's been mad timid since Tim "The Big Slow" Silvia KO'ed him..

Also, my picks are the exact same as yours, Mercury Bullet..

Anthony Torres Vs. Jess Liaudin
Naoyuki Kotani Vs. Dennis Siver
Tomasz Drwal Vs. Thiago Silva
Gleison Tibau Vs. Terry Etim
Houston Alexander Vs. Alessio Sakara
Marcus Davis Vs. Paul Taylor
Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Cheick Kongo
Matt Hamill Vs. Michael Bisping
Quinton Jackson Vs. Dan Henderson

Going with Dan but I could easily see Quinton getting the W at the same time.

Rampage/Hendo is a toss-up, can't wait for it

I just watched this on setanta in the uk

i wont post results.

I just came back from the show. Conned my way from a £50 nosebleed seat to a Row AA ringside floor seat along side the press. Met Brandon Vera and Ross Pointon. Oh yeah, Cro Cop is the biggest waste of space in the company. I'll need to see the tape to see if Hamill did anything other than a few takedowns with zero follow up against Bisping. And that main event sure dragged in the building.

Davis vs. Taylor is easy match of the night.

Pointon came across as quite big headed on the ultimate fighter, what is he like in real life.

I agree that Cro Cop was terrible but from watching on TV i thought that bisping was lucky to win.

Great comeback from Davis, wanted taylor to win being a local lad.

Hey guys, howe about not spoiling this for the American fans eh??

Also, they are showing Forrest Vs Tito on Spike right now.. Awesome fight..

sorry dude, my bad

Fuck Rob, I really can't believe you just did that..

Fuck..

I am sitting here watching a two year old fight waiting on the show..

Kinda sucks knowing the outcome before it's even been aired..

WOW I avoided spoilers the whole fuckin day.

Me thinking espn.com wouldn't spoil the PPV I deiced to click on the MMA headline, and low behold they went a head and spoiled it. FUCK THEM

Also I didn't read Rob's post.

I'm really pissed right now though. I saw this with 5 mintues before the show too.

FUCK

Damn..

honestly thought you guys would have got it live
sorry

No..

It is coming on RIGHT NOW..

:(

It's all good, just frustrating..

:(

:wavesad:

So far Houston Alexander KO'd Alessio Sakara in 1:01 of the first round..

Marcus Davis won in the first via armbar..

Lol Yves Lanvigne or whatever his name is loves seeing people get beat up.

Houston Alexander fight shouldn't have went that long on the ground. The English guy should have won the fight went Marcus Davis went limp on the ground

Terribe Ref

If you logged on to the internet for a show that already happened then it's your own fault. I didn't even post all the fight results when I could, and should have. All this spoiler shit is just that. Stay offline for half a day if it bothers you.

Pointon was in the halls with all the fans. Seemed ok. Vera seems like a very cool dude though. Dunno why this surprised me. I saw Huerta too but I didn't even click that was him.

I thought Hammill won live but I've watched it on TV since and think the 2nd and 3rd rounds are close enough that it's not a robbery or anything. I can see why they gave Bisping the decision because Hammill did 2 takedowns in each round and then was out boxed convincingly.

I thought Davis was dead but it was a hell of a comeback. Great little fight.

What the fuck ever..

You are saying that every American fan, which last time I checked was the primary market for UFC, can't discuss an event just because two people have already seen it??

It's a common courtesy, not only with sporting events but movies, etc..

No. Discuss whatever you like. Just don't cry when others discuss stuff you don't wanna see. Well unless you are gonna not post about The Ultimate Fighter for 5 days until it airs in England or the PPVs that air 1-2 days later. You won't. So let's not be a baby about it. As for movies, if I didn't want say The Bourne Ultimatium spoiled, I would avoid reading any thread that could possibly have the ending in it. Don't make this America vs. Britain either.

See the difference in me posting about the Ultimate Fighter is, if you, someone I respect, and enjoy posting with asked, I would mark every spoiler.. Same thing I do when discussing movies still out out the theater or Raw, when I use to watch wrestling..

It's fine if you and Danny want to discuss it but is it that hard to type "SPOILER" before the post??

So I guess Gonzaga took CroCop's warrior spirit?

Cro Cop has had some low points before.. Saddens me he's having one right when he comes to the UFC..

LOL @ the knee to the balls

Also I wouldn't really care if it the main event was spoiled for me buy a British Tpww poster, because it's only fair since wrestling and all other shit is always spoiled for them.

But the man(espn.com) screwed me over.

Truthfully, I expect a higher level of respect amongst fans than what the fans get from somewhere like ESPN..

Not really but I don't see the point in it to be honest. I think it ceases to be a spoiler when other sites report on it including the UFC site. To be fair though, UFC isn't spoiling the U.S based site.

I didn't think mine was too bad but I'll apologise anyway. I still think people should just stay clear for a few hours though.

Well, I am sitting at home, by myself watching this due to the guys I usually watch PPVs with being at work and my girl being outta town.. I just wanted to discuss it as it was happening.. As I said earlier, it's not a huge deal just kinda frustrating..

What the hell at Hammil coming out to "Born in the USA"?? LOL is he trying to play up the heel role because Bisping is a local boy??

LOL
