The first match was pretty good. I can't think of the fighters but the Black dude got busted open. Seem like he keep bleeding and bleeding.

As far as the Shamrock and Ortiz fight goes, I'm still in disbelief that the ref called it. After he called Shamrock got right up and was ready. That was the match me and buddy was looking forward to. I believe Ortiz would have won either way, but I wished the match could have continue.

The last match of night was decent at best. Seem more like a striking match then anything. Sylvia's reach was the advantage in that fight I think. Arvolyski (I can't think how to spell his name) was doing good with his kicks to the knees and legs. I think if continues to work the legs he could have come out on top. Overall I give UFC 61 a 7 out of 10.

The fight with the black guy was the best. I absolutely hated the 2 main event fights. If I wanted to watch what Arlovski and Sylvia did I would watch saturday night fights on HBO, that was just ridiculous.

Were we watching the same fight? Although I believe Ortiz would have KO'D him in the second, Shamrock got screwed. UFC 61 was a ripoff.

Shamrock allowed Tito to take him down and do a vicious elbow-after-elbow attack... at the end of the fight (when they called it), he practically wasn't protecting himself.

He would have lost either way -- he's an old man now. His prime time has gone.

ortiz against matt hughes would be a great fight,but the weight difference would probably stop this one.

I didn't watch the fights, but still have some thoughts.

First you guys are talking about Yves Edwards vs. Joe Stevenson I assume. Yves is not the same fighter he was a couple of years ago.

Shamrock vs Ortiz (may), I repeat (may) have been a worked match. I would have to see it to feel confident in saying that. A worked match is one that isn't a real contest. It's fixed so to say. Shamrock's long history in pro wrestling, he was a wrestler before his first UFC fight and the fact that most of his fights in Japan were worked along with the over the top way that he tried to put the fight over leads to suspicions. i could be wrong though....

Hughes is way too small for Ortiz, but neither are close to as good as the champ Liddel or Vanderlei Silva of Pride fame who was introduced during the show. Vanderlei may have trouble with the UFC steroid test though. Seriously, Pride doesn't test and it's no secret that Wandy as he is called has "juiced" in the past.

No way Andrei Arlovski can stand and bang with Tim sylvia. He HAS to get that fight to the ground to have a chance.

Something most of you may not know is the an old friend of mine Joe Jordan who use to live in Jenkins and now fights out of Iowa was on the untelevised undercard. He lost but at least he got there.

My buddy Jason Coomer fought and won on the same night on a pro card in Corbin Ky. and then spent most of the rest of the night throwing a few back with the shows special guest Kimo.

Tito has already beaten Silva when they fought. Tito just can't beat Chuck because IMO he's scared of him. But, Tito did beat Silva.

[Gotch]

True, but when they fought Silva was far from being the fighter he is today. Remember Vitor Belfort also beat him and no way on earth does Vitor or Tito beat him today. IMO
