“I would have rather seen Liddell vs. Jardine”

Uh…can we finally have Chuck fight a legit challenger? Seeing Chuck vs Forrest or Jardine or anyone other than elite dudes at this point is so frustrating. Liddell is 37 now and it’s kind of now or never when it comes to the dream matches we want to see him in. No disrespect to Jardine…he’s a tough dude for sure, but he almost got KO’d by Bonnar. Main event fights shouldn’t open with lines where one dude is +500.

“Some of his stand up calls were ridiculous, however. UFC can indeed be blamed for that.”

“UFC Mania: BJ Pennâ€™s girlfriend, Tori Paver, is hot”

And here I was thinking GOMI was BJ’s b*tch.

Even if knees to head were legal, those strikes would still have been ILLEGAL, as no-one allows blatant shots to the spine and back of the head. The DQ call was absolutely correct, and HERB was absolutely excellent in handling it, not least giving a freaking interview in the cage on live TV. Some of his stand up calls were ridiculous, however. UFC can indeed be blamed for that.

Any gate numbers for EXC yet? Crowd wise they sure came off a lot better than WFA, IFL and bodogFIGHT, but Shaw also is all for papering for TV(I so assume he’s smarter about promotion AND papering than IFL though).

MMA Critic: Who are you arguing against with your constant mentions of EliteXC not being anywhere near UFC in attention and popularity? You mentioned it about fifty times in the event thread, and here it is again.

Definitely too soon for Rampage – Liddell, but then again it could be the only way(if he beats Liddell) to be sure to tie Rampage to a longer deal.

Out of all the people at the Muskegon event, why did they pick Cletus, the Slacked Jawwed yokel? Why!?

What is the build up you speak of for Iceman/Rampage II? It’s been 3 1/2 years coming. I guess you’re right when you’re talking about TUF noobs not knowing who the guy is. That could be rectified by letting QJ do color commentary on a UFN special.

We shouldn’t dignify Frank Shamrock by speaking about him. The rule change happened 7 years ago. He was in sidemount. Renzo would have bludgeoned him with knees to the head if that fight was in Pride. Also did Frank not notice that they were wearing gloves. Gimme a break. He’d stand no chance with Renzo under real Vale Tudo rules.

I agree Liddell/Rampage II is waaay to early to be happening in May…but then again with Sherk out until July, GSP defending in May and both Sylvia and Silva (at that time) making title defenses…it seems the UFC has little else to offer in ways of a title shot.

Two articles about Mosley? Zzzzzz. That was some ugly shit.

It never ceases to amaze me how barren Mosley’s resume is, seriously
