Do you watch UFC?
 

Its on right now (spike tv). Do you watch it?

Ain't got Spike but I love the UFC.

When I can, yeah.

As much as I can. Aaaatss some good stuff right theeere.

What channel's it on in the UK?

Bravo. Practically some UFC on every night.

Oh cool, I'll take a look.

I enjoyed the Ultimate Fighter program.

Franklin is the man...and so is that vampire dude..i forgot his name Koreslev or somthing like that.

Randy fucked that guy up/

I like it. I don't watch it regularly, but if I happen to come across it, I'll watch. Chuck Liddell is a scary dude.

I know I'm late on this (don't wander in the sports forum much) but I love the UFC. I'm actually planning on doing some MMA fights in the next few years. I was a nationally ranked amatuer wrestler in college. I know a few guys that run a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym about an hour away from here. Might drive up there and get some training in every now and then. Should be fun :y:


Also, the "vampire guy" with the fangs on his mouthguard is Andrei Arlovski.

Know any one that broke a bone in a match? Does that happen often?

I love UFC. Its on all the time. Spike, Fox sports , Bravo. Its great. I'm starting to recognize the fighters by names. I think i'm really loving the Welterweight champ Matt Hughes.


What happend to Hoyce Gracie(sp)? I luved that guy.

Not as often as you'd think. Tim Sylvia tore a bicep and broke his elbow badly a few fights back and you get the odd broken nose or cheekbone now and again. Injury rates are far less than boxing.

Royce Gracie is still around. He does the odd Pride fight now and again. His brothers are still about too.

Royce Gracie is a MMA God

Yeah Tim Sylvia was caught in an armbar and the guy (I think it was Frank Mir) broke his forearm. You couldn't see it until the replay, but it was nasty

UFC is blowing up right now, and with Boxing sucking lately it's the best thing going

Andrei Arlovski

BTW, Chuck Liddell is the man

Randy Couture

Anybody watching the PPV tonight? I just ordered it, can't wait for it to come on actually. Gonna go grab some beer and I'll be set.

yeah, but only on dvd. don't think we get bravo here :'(

Ah man what a card!

Liddell just beat the fuck out of Horn, and Horn kept coming. Took 4 rounds before Horn admitted that he couldn't see anymore

Couture wins with a tap-out

Diego won

The last fight they showed which happened earlier in the night, BEST FLYING KNEE EVER. The guy got knocked stiff

Best flying knee? Better than Kenny's?

But, COUTURE :love:

Yea seriously, best flying knee ever.

Match of the night for me was Trigg v. St. Pierre. I really wanted St. Pierre to win going into the fight and HOLY SHIT did he win big. I am so pumped for St. Pierre v. Hughes 2. Oh my god that is gonna be a sweet fight.

The pics don't do it justice but....

which led to...


http://69.46.29.2:8080/absoluteig/ga...in137UFC54.jpg

the guy was knocked stiff, oxygen tanks, the board was brought out

But more importantly, Chuck Liddell dominated Jeremy Horn

I think Diego Sanchez needs to scrap the next few months worth of training in favor of some charisma, sportsmanship, and overall mic skills lessons.

Rogan: Walk us through the closing part of the fight
Sanchez: I look pretty good, those sponsor shorts look pretty good on me. Oh, I broke his eye socket. Go buy a Nissan.

LOL what?

I like to watch whenever I find it on.

Irvin was getting beat before that wicked knee attack.

St.Pierre was freaking phenominal. Chuck Liddell wasn't to far off either. Can this dude even be hurt?

Forrest Griffin could be the biggest star ever. His stupid arse joke promos will quickly put a stop to that though. I would be shocked if he trades punches with Ian Freeman and comes out standing.

This is the rumored card for UFC 55

Doesn't look too spectacular so far. I'd like to see Tanner v. Loiseau and Griffin v. Freeman, but that's about it. I guess it depends on who Bonnar is fighting also. I guess they want to hold off on Franklin and Hughes defending their title until after TUF 2 (starts tonight btw for those who didn't see the hundred thousand times they mentioned it this weekend).

I enjoy Pride, far more.

Catch bits and pieces of it on Bravo.

I'm a big John MCarthy fan. Go John!

It's a definate that Franklin and Hughes aren't fighting until after the series finals. UFC wanted them to fight each other but it's not gonna happen. Franklin can't drop to 170 and they are good friends on top of it.

UFC is the goods. Unfortunately I don't catch it often enough and since I no longer have Piarated Cable and am far too cheap to buy PPVs, I don't see it enough. It's far, far better than Boxing. I still like boxing, but MMA is leagues better.

How many different weight classes are there? and who's the champs in each?
I know Franklin, Hughes, and Arlovski..is that it?


They should put in chicks in the octagon as well :shifty:

Arlovski is gonna dominate until Mir comes back

UFC is gonna ride Forrest for a while, until they can set up a Griffin vs. Liddell fight...and possibly Couture vs. Bonnar

I think it'll be a long time before we see Griffin or Bonnar fight anybody like Couture and Liddel. As it stands right now I think either of the TUF guys would get slaughtered by the top names.

The current champs are:
Heavyweight - Andrei Arlovski
Light Heavyweight - Chuck Liddel
Middleweight - Rich Franklin
Welterweight - Matt Hughes

I was kinda disappointed with the first episode of TUF2 tonight. How the hell can you show up for the show 20lbs over your expected weight. I don't care if you don't expect to fight for a few days, at least get within 10lbs of the weight you need to be. They always say these guys are supposed to be the best of the unsigned, but it always looks like 2 or 3 of the best unsigned guys thrown in a house with a bunch of people who have little to no experience at all.

I dont know about ' hurt ' , but Horn made him pass out in there first fight. Horn going 4 rounds with Liddel shocks me. I have alot more respect for Horn now. I've always thought Horn was a little soft.

I watched Hughes vs Trigg 2. Trigg had hin 3 times. Couldnt put the guy down. I mean Trigg really fucking had a victory. He had a rear naked choke position on him that he wasnt able to complete. He caught Hughes off guard and put him to the ground and gave him a pounding when Hughes paused for a moment to argue a low blow. Hughes still manage to survive and get a rear naked choke on Trigg. Hughes is amazing.
