I'm glad I didn't pay to see this. All thay hype for <2:00 of the title bout.

I remember the first one with Tank Abbott and David Tua. KTFO

Thats why you go to a bar broadcasting it over 10 flat screens.

That sucked though. The iceman is melting.

Yes the Rampage vs Chuck fight was short.

I thought that was one of the better PPV they put on in a long time. Every fight was entertaining and not boring. To bad the next couple of PPVs are really worth anything.

I enjoyed it. All the fights were entertaining...and the Iceman vs Rampage was short...but what happened was the exact opposite of what most people thought. The only one who gave Rampage the win before it happened was Randy Couture...everyone else there said Liddell would win.

and it left you with something to look forward too...Rampage vs Dan henderson. Read today that Dana White said that Iceman will be up against Vanderlei Silva finally as well. WOOWOOo Good stuff on tap.

Kalib Starnes' win paid my rent for next month and then some , thank you Kalib.

I'll put my money on Dan Henderson when his fight with Jackson fight happens. Anyone who's watched MMA prior to the reality show explosion knows what Herdson brings to the table. Henderson destroyed Silva, and Silva destroyed Jackson twice.

...and Chuck destroyed Wanderlei...so the circle goes.

I agree though, it was a card full of good fights. The ones that did go to the judges at least were unanimous, I hate it when there's no clear winner more than a quick knockout.

I thought it was a pretty good show. Not one boring lay & pray decision. The only fight that went the distance was Caro & Burkman, which was still a pretty good fight.

Never pick against Couture. iirc, he's picked the winner in every fight for the last 2 events (including Gonzaga & Rampage).

Jebus · « **Reply #7 on:** May 29, 2007, 09:07:10 AM »

Couture record on picking who will win over the year is something like 40-15. Man I have to start listening to this guy. I did think Rampage was going to win but I didnt think he would win that quickly.

Chris Leben V Kalib Starnes went the distance too, only one that was really a close-call IMO.

Will be interesting to see what Henderson will bring, they're talking about who is next for Chuck, Dan or Shogun since Wandy is still with pride.

Just to clear things up, remember...
Chuck is 0-2 against Rampage
Rampage is 0-2 against Wanderlei
Wanderlei is 0-1 against Tito
Tito is 0-2 against Chuck
Rampage is 0-1 against Shogun
Shogun is 0-1 against Babalu
Babalu is 0-2 against Chuck

Clear as mud?

I had Starnes up 2 rounds to 1 on Leben. Didn't think it was really that close in the first. Then Starnes sealed the deal with the reversal in the third.

Tito has to fight Rashad Evans. If he loses, there's a good chance we won't see him anymore... unless you watch IFL.

Pretty sure the deal was just finalized with Zuffa's buyout of Pride. They'll be doing a bunch of mixing & matching, superfights, other good stuff. The only part that sucks is they still don't have Fedor

Jebus · « **Reply #10 on:** May 29, 2007, 01:34:18 PM »

on sherdog.com they are reporting that Chuck next fight will probably be against Wanderiel (sp) Silva.

Zuffa did buy pride that is why you are seeing alot of them coming over to UFC. Dana White wants to make a point he has/had the better organization.
