Sorry about showing the sig, but there's a line in it that kind of says it all about WWEliteXC.

I want UFC to have competition, but from a real promotion, not a bullshit mma/pro wrestling company.

Was on a beer run Saturday night and ran into him! Got a picture and all. :) I'll post it up later if i can.

Absolute gentleman.

Also got a pic with Dan Hardy. Really pleased to get that one as he had a great fight. A really sound lad as well.

I hope this doesn't mean Gary Shaw is going to get away without being investigated?

Really why? Is he laughing at the fact that he'll never even get as much as a mention from UFC cause he sucks balls and is really overrated? Is he laughing cause he was scared of Nick Diaz and didnt wanna fight? I guarantee this much. Nick Diaz and Eddie Alveraz will have several fights in UFC before Dana White even thinks about KJ Noons during his morning shit.

Hopefully UFC sign (or resign) Nick Diaz, Eddie Alverez, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, and Rua.

no the fbi will investigate him. dana raised a bretty big stink.

This could be a good thing for Kimbo though. I mean, there must be thousands of people confident enough to fight him in his yard now.

Maybe him being a huge pile of shite was all a bluff until he got back to the bigger leagues of garden party brawling.

I'd doubt some of those names. Robbie Lawler for example was being paid an insane amount of money and he isn't gonna get close to it in the UFC.

I'm kinda hoping UFC goes after some of their women..

Mainly for Gina..

I'd like to see Nick Diaz back in UFC also..

I think there is a chance for Diaz. No chance for Gina though unless they try women in the WEC. Very slim chance though.

That makes me sad.. I mean, at first I was skeptical about womens MMA but some of those bitches can fight for real..

Plus, Gina is super hottt..

dana hates womens mma

I don't think he hates it. I'm thinking that he believes he has enough trouble right now getting male MMA regulated and taken seriously and trying womens MMA only makes it harder right now. Plus the gap between the best fighters and the others is massive. Severe lack of competition.

Im pretty sure I heard him say women have no place in the octogon

i dont feel like looking for the interview though because it would have been from a year ago i think

I have a place in my pants for Gina Carano..

Ready, fuckers?!?!

Diaz seems like a shoe-in considering he's one of the most exciting fighters there is and his brother is tearing it up in UFC right now. I would love to see Diaz vs GSP. How sick would that be. GSP would most likely win, but I think he'd take a beaten in doing so.

Diaz wouldn't even get a fight with GSP. He has too many losses on his record to talent not close to a title shot like the pussy Armenian and Dirty Diego.

Oh I found a link to the Hardy vs. Gono fight but there is no sound (Japanese feed) so if someone wants it, I'll link.

Along those same lines, I can get pretty much any MMA fights, so if anyone has any requests, holler at your boy and I'll see what I can do..

http://mixedmartialartvideos.com/

Usually has all the PPV fights up the day after the show

Yah duh. I mean he'd have to string together some victories first, but i dunno if you know this or no, but Koshchek is in line to get the next title shot at GSP if he wins his next two fights which are like 2 months apart now. I'm just saying, Dana is gunna want to get some new fights going and that division is close to recycling the same fights as long as GSP keeps winning. Plus Diaz vs GSP = ratings.

Kos has to beat Thiago Alves first..

1 - Alves vs. Koscheck fight is winner gets title shot. If Koscheck wins, he doesn't even have to take the December fight to get the title shot although he probably will. He is getting a shot regardless though.

2 - I don't think Diaz can take the top guns at 170lbs to be honest and I wish he could. I think Alves, Serra, GSP, Koscheck and Fitch would beat him right now. And I wouldn't bet on Diaz against Matt Hughes or Diego Sanchez either. Paul Taylor, Marcus Davis, Mike Swick and Chris Lytle would all favour their dances too although I think he would probably beat them.

imo I think Diaz could beat Serra, Lytle, Davis and Swick. I think he would have trouble against guys like Sanchez, Hughes, Koscheck, and Fitch, though I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibility for him to beat them. I don't think he'd be able to Karo, Alves, or GSP though...

Also...

Saw that yesterday..

That'll prolly be the best UFC card ever..

STACKED card

It will be sweet..

I'm taking Forrest, Nog, and Rampage..

Nog, Rampage, and Rashad for the upset.

I don't know why, but I can see Rashad winning. I love Forrest though

Rashad is the man.. I've liked him ever since TUF.. I just see Forrest and him banging it out with Forrest getting the better of him.. Prolly go to a decision..

Rashad, Nog and Rampage

Rashad, Nog and Rampage. I love Forest to death, but I think it'll go the distance and Rashad is a more precise fighter to me.

rashad, nog and wanderlei

anyone ever think about if mir beats nog and lesnar beats couture??? THAT WOULD SUCK

Is the title up in the Lesnar/Coture fight?

Yeah, Lesnar/Couture for the title, Nog/Mir for interim. Then Winner/Winner for the undisputed at a later show.

Holy shit.

see what i mean!

Thats not what i read. I read the opposite. I read that Kosh wasnt guaranteed a title shot if he beats Alves and that his 2nd fight could still derail him. And the 2nd fight is still on for sure.

Diaz already gave a good Karo a very close fight which I personally thought he won. Kayo has been shit since really.

I don't think he would last with Matt Serra at all. Serra's jujitsu is certainly stronger as is his power. Diaz isn't going to be able to do those stupid half ass jabs to him. Also I think he'd struggle standing against Lytle and Davis.

What? Diaz would murder Matt Serra.

Serra has been stopped twice in his career and one is arguably the flukest KO in the history of MMA and the other was against the arguably the best welterweight ever.

Diaz isn't gonna knock him out and his jujitsu isn't better than Serra's so although he might, I very much doubt he'd submit him. Serra also won big fights and Diaz has pretty much lost all of his biggest fights.

I love watch Nick Diaz fight but I can't see him being a top guy ever really. Serra already proved his worth.

an 8 year old hits harder than Diaz.

Whether or not Diaz could win those fights, they would still be entertaining as hell to watch

Also my picks are Forrest, Big Nog and Wanderlei

'Shad, Nog, and Wand

Griffin, Noguiera and Rampage.

Griffin, Nog, Wanda

goodbye

First of all Rob, you're severly overrated Serra's BJJ. As far as in ring MMA, Diaz has shown way more and way better BJJ in his fights. See the Sanchez and Parisyan fights. Aside from a fluke tko ( imo ) on GSP, who's Serra beat? Lytle, ok, but Lytle wasnt nearly as good as he is now.

Diaz has beaten, Robbie Lawler via knock out. He banged the shit out of Gomi and then finished him with a gogoplata and i refuse to believe marijuana had anything to do with that. If anything it worked against him cause i mean what retard would go into the ring with Gomi stoned off his ass. He shoulda got the decision against Karo.

Serra's BJJ isnt built for MMA. Sure i think if Serra and Diaz were to enter a BJJ tournament, i'd probably give the edge to Serra. But we're talking about MMA. Whole nother ball game. Serra would get worked over badly by Diaz if they fought.

Serra V Diaz would be an interesting fight, it could really swing either way imo...Diaz's problem is he either seems to on (really on) or really off. If he can fight at his best imo he'd beat Serra, but I can still see it going to Serra just as easily.

I actually think Diaz's problem is he tends to fall in love with his stand up game. He has great BJJ. But sometimes he just stands and trades punches for 3 rounds.

That's definetly another problem. I think he still thinks he's incredible for standing and banging against Lawler (Knocking him out certainly didn't help that either).

Sorry what fights since the Lawler fight has Diaz stood and traded for 3 rounds?

And his BJJ didn't beat Parysian or Sanchez so it wasn't that great.

In all seriousness, I love Nick Diaz but he hasn't come close to looking like a world beater since he lost the two previously mentioned fights.

Nate Diaz on the other hand has looked better and better.

It isn't on for sure. Koscheck says he'll do the fight if he is injury free. Anything can happen this Saturday. The commission could give him a medical suspension for a cut or something.

Or what's now known as 'Pulling a Shamrock'

Getting headbutted is called Pulling a Shamrock? Isn't that a Liverpool kiss (or something)

Well the rumour is maybe he didn't get headbutted. Maybe he gigged himself to get out of the fight because he was getting half the money Kimbo was. He did demand more money the morning of the fight.

I don't believe this though but the rumour is out there.

I'd still love to see the cut. Or just hear a bit more from him about it than the predictable garbage he said on TV.

There is more to it than meets the eye. (NPI) If it was as honest as made out, there wouldn't be so much silence on the matter. I think Ken is lucky with the outcome of the fight, because had Kimbo done as expected, the MMA media would have been firmly knocking on his door seeking answers.

Affliction are stupid for not making this deal happen..

I don't know if i even believe that happened.

I doubt it. His cut is legit. How it got it is another story. I don't think he fucked it up anyway purely because I can't see Ken Shamrock refusing $250k.

how are they stupid? the stipulations of the deal are that theyd have to stop promoting fights and only certain fighters were going to be bought up anyway.

It would be horrible if UFC ate them up.

Im glad at least someone in the business has integrity and cares about the fighters

I can see your point but, they already had to cancel a show due to the money not being there.. I can see that happening again.. They have the chance to be a sponsor to the biggest MMA promotion ever, instead they are gonna end up a t-shirt company who failed at being a contender in the sport of MMA.. Then even those fighters who UFC is interested in right now, will be just as unemployed as the fighters they are not interested in..

p.s. don't get me wrong, I hope they do well, cause competition is great for the sport of MMA as a whole.. The better the comp is, the better UFC has to be to remain on top.. I just don't think they'll be able to contend in the long run..

UFC would be stupid for taking those huge contracts. Affliction have maybe 2 more shows in them before them go under.

affliction only had a plan for 3 shows anyway. I think they were just trying to open the door for other companies but with this elite xc fuck up, its not lookin good

How can you not totally love that guy??

This is the Ferrall interview with the Affliction guys..

Super anti-UFC.. It's funny cause Dana even said that Ferrall used to be all on UFC's nuts (which he did cause I used to listen to him on Sirius) until EXC and Affliction offered him more money.. His loyalty is bought and sold.. I used to like him..

looking foward to Koscheck/Alves tonight the most. Koscheck is a cocky mother fucker, but I always like his fights. His personality makes his fights so much more entertaining

Unfortunately, I think he's going down

Thiago is gonna push his shit in..

Thiago Alves, the wrestler killer

Silva apparently is a paintball nut.

and owns a pair of Tazz slippers.

Make you predictions..

Yet you have a bebo? :p

Bebo has managed to make the uploading of pics near idiot proof now! :p

LOL I met that blonde tart too in Rococo's or something. I was doing some drunken body popping and she loved it :D Blind bitch.

Them two fellas were absolute gentlemen.

Managed to turn what was quickly turning into a very shite weekend a very memorable one! Just wish i could have said or done more than the obligatory thanks Dan / Chris and good luck in future for the class they showed! :)

Oh sweet Jesus. I'm holding a Smirnoff ice in the Lytle pic! Please believe me when i say it was for me mate :P
