I like Saunders for the upset at +185.

**brooks85** · 05-07-09, 11:16 AM

struve better bring his A game, Stojnic is a brick wall.

**girth brooks** · 05-07-09, 04:13 PM

Ben "the killer B" Saunders is brutal!! This is hands down fight of the night...

**The HOFF** · 05-18-09, 10:07 PM

Mirko Cro Cop vs. Mustapha Al-Turk

**The HOFF** · 05-20-09, 02:26 AM

Heavyweight Heath Herring will not compete against prospect Cain Velasquez at UFC 99 on June 13 due to an unspecified injury.

**The HOFF** · 05-20-09, 12:24 PM

Veteran heavyweight and once again rising contender Cheick Kongo (14-4-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) will replace Heath Herring (28-14 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and fight Cain Velasquez (5-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at next month's UFC 99 event.

**Bread** · 05-20-09, 12:49 PM

Oh my!

**brooks85** · 05-20-09, 03:07 PM

going to be great fight, I usually always go with the veteran but Cain gets the vote. I see endurance being the key here and Cain will push 15mins, especially after his last fight.

**Riot** · 05-20-09, 04:20 PM

Man , Cain would have destroyed Herring, Gerring is to much of an Old school fighter. Fricken A , i wanna see the new line on this one. Congo has been an animal since his upset loss to herring ... wow just wow. Off the top of my head, i say Cain TKO's him, but i would risk a little on Congo to win the same amount that i would if i laid alot on Cain. I dont see this being as lopsided as people may think. Cain will def win if it goes to a decision tho, hes a better wrestler and will look to take the fight to the ground. We have seen no one test Cains chin yet, should be fireworks tho.

**The HOFF** · 05-31-09, 10:21 PM

BetUS

Cain Velasquez +130
Cheick Kongo -170

Man, I'm frazzled. I looked at the thread title UFC 99 Rumors/Discussion, thinking that was what they were naming this iteration of UFC fights. Then I thought about it, Discussion? That sounds pretty tame even for the UFC twink Dana White. I know, that's not what they're naming it. Carry on.

**girth brooks** · 06-01-09, 02:29 AM

Okay here is my take on this main event, Franklin vs. Silva. Do you think Rich cringes when he hears Franklin vs. Silva? All kidding aside, this fight should be good. Rich is upset at his last decision loss saying he thought the judges were going to steal his wallet too.. Wandy got smashed prison yard style by Page and really hasn't looked that great since he fought in Japan, where they didn't drug test.. I see Rich pounding Silva with kicks and putting Silva against the cage. If you watch the Chuck fight, he picked apart Silva when he had his back to the cage. I like Rich alot and I think he stops Wandy in the 2nd round. He is too much for Wandy and somewhere the Spider will be laughing holding his belt and moonwalking..

very weak card. I would not order that.

Most UFC cards are a joke. this weekend check out the card strike force throws out there. Affliction 3 will be another great one.

**girth brooks** · 06-01-09, 03:49 PM

A weak card? Franklin vs. Silva, Cro Cop returning, Cain vs. Congo, Swick vs. Saunders, Hardy vs. Davis, Spencer Fisher, Paul Kelly, Paul Taylor... What else do you want before they blow their wad on Ufc 100? It won't even hinder your Saturday night if you watch it live! If they added the Shamwow guy vs. a hooker would you buy it?

**Riot** · 06-01-09, 04:15 PM

if its a sweet tranny obese hooker discussing politics with Matt Hamil , count me in

Who cares about Franklin and Silva? who gives a shit about a washed up CroCrop?

**Bread** · 06-03-09, 09:08 AM

Like mentioned, considering this is #99, right before the huge #100 blowout, I think the card is pretty good.

I'm expecting some REALLY exciting fights from Swick/Saunders and Hardy/Davis. If one of those isn't fight of the night, I'll be surprised.

Well at least it is better then the snore fest they called "UFC 98"

Hey! You are totally disrespecting UFC 97 by saying that!!! The horse shit boring card of UFC 97 totally triumphs over UFC 98 in terms of shittiness.

**Bread** · 06-03-09, 01:24 PM

Yes 97 took the cake. I thought 98 was pretty good, but I also won good $$ so my view could've been slightly skewed.

Just a tad bread just a tad. actually 99 doesn't look that bad after i took another glance at it. Kongo saved it.
