Anyone else going to be watching the UFC fight tonight?

onlooker · 05-26-07, 04:08 PM

I might go out to a friends house to watch it, if not, I may have to order it here. I want to see this one, and not sure who I want to win. I just want to see a good match.

Will be watching. Can't root for Rampage though.

Big Razorback · 05-26-07, 05:01 PM

For sure

UFC is better than boxing!!!!!!

I cant wait to watch Lidell kick that ASS!!!

onlooker · 05-26-07, 05:03 PM

Was just watching some of the previews on ufc.com, and Rampage did take some hard licks from Chuck in their first fight. This guy looks like he can take a punch. I'm really starting to think Chuck Liddell is going to be in big trouble in this fight.

Everything I've read and seen, suggests that chuck was out of shape last time.. The only thing is, he cant get slammed...

Im watching it, hope Chuck creams him tonight

bigboydan · 05-26-07, 06:09 PM

I'm I the only backing Rampage tonight?

BigBollocks · 05-26-07, 06:12 PM

I'll be looking forward to hearing how Liddell did. Impossible not to support that man...

My

is backing him, otherwise I'd like to see Liddell take him this time.

Never got into it

That's tough to do. You have money on Rampage but you want Chuck to win

You want to lose your money. Must be nice to be independently wealthy

I guess you bet with your head and the value....

Chuck is obviously a better, more confident fighter than when he lost to Rampage. I get the sense from supposedly knowledgable MMA folks that Rampage may not be the same fighter after suffering a couple of hard KO's. When a fighter's had that chin cracked a couple times...... We'll see. I may stick some change on 1st round KO for Lidell, last I saw +350 ,

Only a small wager with friends at work. Will root against Liddell but not feel bad (or lose much money) if he wins.

ESPN is sure taking notice, launching a new MMA section. Today's poll shows most ESPN.com viewers more excited about the UFC (37%) then the NBA (30), NHL (12) and Indy (11) this weekend. That's actually pretty impressive.

Congrats! Rampage is the light heavy weight Champion!!!

Dumb_lucK · 05-26-07, 11:28 PM

Though, was Liddell Down for it.. before the ref intervention it looked as though he would have recovered.. perhaps a hasty jump on the ref! BOO!! wanted to see more of a beating then a min 44..

homedog · 05-26-07, 11:34 PM

Lidell got his ass whooped.

Dumb_lucK · 05-26-07, 11:42 PM

I don't disagree.. However I would have liked to see him get more of an ass whooping rather then a whole minute and change fight..

Glad I didn't have to pay to watch that fight!

onlooker · 05-27-07, 02:42 AM

Liddell was out. He went limp after the elbow I think it was. The ref did the right thing to jump in.

Liddell got caught with a hard shot, and had no chance after that.

bigboydan · 05-27-07, 06:58 AM

I think the ref did the right thing too looker

Dumb_lucK · 05-27-07, 07:46 AM

you gotta admit though.. it was a short fight.. hell I seen more action from 2 chicks going at it wednesday night after a few beers.. hell they got more punches kicks and submission holds in.. Brutal..

I guess I expected a little more out of Liddell

bigboydan · 05-27-07, 08:24 AM

Heres an interview before this fight last night. Rampage did tell everyone not to blink.

Big Razorback · 05-27-07, 09:15 PM

Boy was I wrong

Lidell should retire.. Plain and simple.. He can not compete with the best in the UFC, and he will be unhappy with anything less... What a waste of pay per view bucks.... BLAH

I watched the highlights (the whole fight?) on ESPN. How can Rampage and Chuck both be 205 lbs? Rampage looks twice his size.

I like seeing Martial Arts go mainstream but I think it's a miracle that someone hasn't been killed or put in a coma. They should make a rule where if the guy is on the ground due to a knockout you can't beat his face.

I think Rampage has it in muscle Mass, Chuck has it in the belly mass.. he's got quite the pot there! One too many keggers down at the pub I gather!

The highlights, yah it was the whole fight!
