no one is talking about the TUF finale last night?


the diego/guida fight was the best fight of 2009 so far, maybe the best LW UFC fight ever imo, it was such a great brawl

solid card....guida/sanchez could be foty.....look for sanchez to fight penn/florian winner for title shot



very possible that vitoe belfort comes back to the ufc to challenge spider for the mw belt

[burton2019]

also heard from a reliable source that kimbo is already out of the tuf10 house...apparently he got picked early and got beat

[Biggin]

that is huge news

i hope its not true, id really like to see kimbo become a better fighter, hes got the hands if he could work on the rest.


i heard the vitor news as well; dana really wants a MW contender.
so vitor said no to mossaui at a catchweight, but wants to face the most dangerous man on the planet?
it would be a match of the best skilled strikers ever i think, both men are amazing with their hands.

but doesnt vitor have a fight in august?

[burton2019]

yeah belfort fights jorge santiago at afflicition III on 08/1

[Biggin]

[Biggin]

that card looks promising


i like:

fedor
mousasi (and I fukkin HATE babalo, hes dirty, and hes overrated as hell)
vitor
heiron

i like yves to beat the rock, pedro has to be in his late 40's now.

and then yves to beat buentello, i think paul is very one domential and yves is a big dude who can handle him on the ground.
