2nd was more of the same until a knock out that came from nowhere. Dan Henderson won a decision. He did well on his feet but was very nearly caught in a knee bar at one point. Did what he had to do against a very strong BJJ fighter. Rich Franklin looked good at 205lbs too. KO'd Hamill with a kick to the gut. Seriously he did! |

Rashad Evans is easily one of my favorite fighters all of a sudden.
Dear Dana White, Please retire that sad sack of old washed up shit now please. Thanks |

I'm shocked Liddell wasnt ready for this fight. With all the intense training he must have did.

Agreed. Once Chuck was forced to pressure and make the first move, he was taking more punches than he was landing. And then it was the same thing that got Chucks head smashed into Joe Rogans lap.

Well, it's the most legitimate option for the title, and between them they have beaten Shogun, Rampage, Liddell, and in Evans case, he never really lost to Tito.
Are there 4 bigger names at LHW (besides Silva.... when he is there) you can beat to make it to the marquee fight? And if not, who the fuck have you got to destroy? |

Well, When Wanderlei or Bonnar can KO Liddell, then I will have no arguments.
Forrest is the champ. And as a result has to fight the top contenders. And both Wand and Bonnar aren't even close to that right now. |

Yeah, and Lesnar beat a contender in his last fight, and with Mir and Nog tied up, who else is there in the division? Kongo? He has been avoiding Lesnar since BEFORE the Herring fight.
The Heavyweight division is completely uncomparible to 205 right now. Fact is, Lesnar is legitimately the strongest available challenge for Couture. As for 205, the division is so deep with quality fighters with strings of results behind them that the fight has to go to the top contenders. Without any real established contenders left in Heavyweight, it goes to the next best guy. So yes, I do realise that Brock is fighting for the title with only 3 previous pro fights. I also realise he is a monster, with massive drawing power, and a massively dominating victory over one of the divisions biggest players. Do you realise that Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight divisions in UFC right now are so vastly different that your arguing point might as well been about bass fishing? |

Ummmm and lets see who could Randy fight that would be legitimate in the Heavyweight division???? who has beaten two contenders and was gauranteed a title shot? Fabricio Werdum? forget about him? And herring is one of the biggest players?! WHAT!? Hes won only 2 of his last 5 fights. He beat Brad Imes and barely beat Kongo via split decision. He fucking lost to Jake Obrien! He was in no way a "big player" So Wanderlei hasnt beaten a contender? did he not just KO Jardine in his last fight? Or did you not consider Jardine a contender? Jardine didnt knock out griffin or beat Liddel.... Oh wait he did both of those things! Last edited by Reavant; 09-08-2008 at 11:54 AM. |

Jardine, who lost to Houston Alexander in between those fights? If losing to O'Brien affects Herring's legitimacy, then beating Jardine is no coup, by your reasoning.
Wand, who lost 3 on the trot before that? Wow. a 25% win average over 30 months. I don't think so. You can argue Werdum, but he comfortably lost to Arlovski last year, and has since beaten Gonzaga, who other than one peachy headkick to CroCop. has never beaten anybody worth mentioning, and Brandon Vera, who is now at his more comfortable 205. So that is one guy. Who I don't think is really, anymore eligable than brock right now. Any more? |

At light heavyweight, Rampage should have gotten a rematch before anyone got a title shot. And it pains me to say it but if didn't, it had to be Evans or..... Machida. I know I've said it. I feel awful really. Maybe Forrest can kill him though.
By the way, Tito Ortiz must have the biggest smile on his face right now. Griffin, Evans and Silva are all huge rematches now and they just lost a huge star in Liddell. Let's face the facts, his career is over. You'd still get something out of Tito. |

Tito's style of fighting promotes longevity in the fight game. Chucks style only works when ur fast and hes slowing down a lot. If this last fight with evans took place with a chuck from a couple of years ago Id say evans would have been sleeping. |

If it took place in London like it was meant to, it would have been Evans sleeping. Unlucky for Chuck it didn't.

The difference in training and motivation in Herring pre and post Jake O'Brien are very well documented. He stepped up after that fight to be considered a contender. Jardine and Greg Jackson openly admitted they knew Houston Alexander is a fast starting, hard hitting one dimentional fighter. Jardine just lost. The article is on Sherdog somewhere. Not winning many fights because you haven't had many is much different from not winning many fights because you keep losing them. I don't doubt Wand, being a legend with a solid record only needs another win to put him in line, but he hasn't got it yet. Arlovski being a top 10 Heavyweight means that that loss mattered and matters. It was his toughest opponent to date, and Werdum lost. Just because a guy leaves the promotion, doesn't mean his record vanishes. You can talk about Vera beating Mir, and fair enough. It is his best win. But we all know How lucky Frank is to even be in the position he is now in. He sucked pretty bad the 2 fights previous. Fact is, Rob is right about the LHW's, Wand needs another win. As for the Heavy's, Randy's biggest conflict is about money, they have to put him in the biggest draws to make the right money for him to fight. I think Lesnar is quite lucky getting this fight, but he wouldn't have got it had he not been nearly as dominating against Herring. Werdum I don't think would represent the top guy in the division. Lesnar could. |
