Should be an excellent card with 3 big fights. Definately going to order this one. My picks are in bold.
BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk for the Lightweight belt.
Wanderlei Silva vs Keith Jardine
Lyoto Machida vs Tito Ortiz (Tito's last fight in the UFC)
Thiago Silva vs Antonio Mendes
Wilson Gouveia vs Goran Reljic
It's certainly gonna be wild, plus we have Elite XC's CBS debut the Saturday after this (on the 31st) featuring Kimbo's bout against James Thompson.
These next two Saturdays are going to be pretty sweet. Heck, we even get Indiana Jones on top of that! Woot!
my picks
Sherk
Silva
Machida or Ortiz (could go either way easily)
Silva
Gouveia
Dont forget on VS Jens Pulver is fighting Uriah faber. Its been a while since I have looked forward to a fight as much as this one. I think its June first and free.
The Faber/Pulver should be a helluva fight. June 1st on Versus at 9pm.
bump....this starts in about 45 mins
It's time.. woohoo!!!!
BJ Penn is hands down one of the best all around fighters today. He just owned Sean Sherk tonight.
The way it looks, Penn is going to step up and make the challenge to GSP.
Over all was a good night of fights.
Sherk just couldn't handle Penn tonight. The jabs of Penn had Sherks face mangled.
WTF was Ricco doing in Tito's corner tonight. Have they been training together.
Helluva card. Very happy to see Wanderlei destroy Jardine. Was impressed with Thiago Silva's g'n'p. The Tito/Machida fight went as expected. That was a sweet triangle into arm bar by Tito. If he would have stayed in the triange, I believe he would have tapped Machida. I was actually wanting to see him win. Expect to see Tito in EliteXC soon. Very impressed with Relij's and Carwins UFC debuts.
It looked like Sherk hurt his right hand in the fight against Penn. But that left jab of Penn's was destroying Sherk. It landed every damn time.
I knew for awhile that, if Penn won, he wanted to move up to welterweight. He's held that belt before. GSP beat him once by a split decision, but this is a different Penn. First GSP has to beat Fitch at UFC 87. That fight wont be easy at all. If he wins, expect to see the GSP/Penn fight late this year or early next year.
Also dont forget on 05/31 Elite XC comes on CBS primetime. Also, what could be fight of the year, the WEC featherweight (145lbs) belt will be the line when Pulver challenges Faber live on Versus.
If you like MMA, I suggest you all get this ppv, Affliction:Banned, on July 19th. One of the most stacked cards Ive seen. The best HW, Fedor, is fighting former UFC HW champ Tim Sylvia.
This will be a good couple of weeks for fights, like you said, you have Pulver/Faber on Sunday I think and the Elite XC on CBS next weekend and fights last night.
Nice avatar.. I felt sorry for Jardine after that KO. Wandy is a BEAST! It's about time he got back into the game after his unfortunate losing streak.
Jardine was out for about 6 mins. Rumor has it that he may not fight for awhile. Time will tell. Wanderlei has always been a favorite of mine. The two times he fought Rampage in PRIDE, he dominated him. I want to see Silva/Liddel 2.
Pulver/Faber preview is on Vs right now.
That could be fight of the year.
