The PRIDE of UFC....

[Surfah]

If any of you guys missed it earlier it looks like they're streaming the replay right now at the link I shared above. Just starting.

Spoiler for Condit:

I love Carlos. I have been a big fan of his since the WEC where he flat out dominated everyone. Glad to see him get back on his game. I am surprised the ref stopped it so close to the end there. I thought that Rory was very gracious there in defeat. It's not easy to sit there and own up to getting your ass kicked. Same with Mac Danzig in the prelims. I hope they rematch Wimer and him. That was a good fight until Yves blew the call.

The crazy thing about Chuck and Rich is that Chuck was dominating that first round, he was mixing in kicks, he even took Rich down. He looked very versatile, but I said to Will during that first round "Chuck looks slow and sloppy with his standup, and he is keeping his hands way down"

Rich said it best when Chuck gets you hurt he over commits. To be honest that was not even that hard of a punch, the fact that it KO'd Chuck should be enough for him to realize its time to hang it up.

Chuck has now lost 5 of his last 6 fights, with 4 of them coming by Knockout. His only win was the decision over Wanderlei. Granted the guys he has lost too are no joke Shogun, Rashad, Rampage, Rich and Jardine.

His lip was nasty too.

That was the best UFC I have watching. 3 really good fights, a KTFO. I am all in for 116, Lesnar destroys Carwin.

These crappy cards all seem to deliver. I thought it would be a horrible night of fights but it was a really fun night. It had it all, horrible stops, knockouts, action packed decisions.

Condit looked great in the third. CroCop looked great in the third. Paulo looked like a gatekeeper. Chuck, even though he won the first round looked slow, real slow. That dude needs to stop like now. He's been knocked out cold too much and risks some serious damage. The only fight i could see is a Tito fight.

The UFC on Versus in SLC seems to be in jeopardy.

The UFC on Versus in SLC seems to be in jeopardy.

Jeopardy? It has been moved to San Diego because of poor ticket sales.

Yeah officially canceled. Its bullshit do not put a crappy card with the following fights:

Jon Jones vs Matushenko
Okami vs Mark Munoz
Gomi vs Joe Stevenson
Jake Ellenberger vs John Howard

That is your main card are you kidding me and then you put it on a Sunday and you expect it to sell out. Dana White is an idiot if he thinks that.

[fusnik]

Whoa, hadn't seen the official announcement. What did they expect though? Its a Sunday card no huge names, or course ticket sales will suck.

Wow. What an embarrassment.

TUF 11 Finale

MAIN CARD
Keith Jardine vs. Matt Hamill
Court McGee vs. Kris McCray
Aaron Simpson vs. Chris Leben
Spencer Fisher vs. Dennis Siver
Jamie Yager vs. Rich Attonito

PRELIMINARY CARD
John Gunderson vs. Mark Holst
James McSweeney vs. Travis Browne
Josh Bryant vs. Kyle Noke
Brad Tavares vs. Seth Baczynski
Chris Camozzi vs. James Hammortree


I was hoping McKinney or Uscola were going to get matched up with Yager and make him quit again. Oh well.

I think Court wins and Jardine beats Hamill

Funny how this is a better card than the crap they tried to throw at us in Salt Lake.

[Coach McGuirk]

Spoiler for UFC TUF SPOILERS:

Attonito stops Yager. Yager seems to have zero cardio. First round he looks good. Round 2 looks like he can barely stand up. If it would have gotten to round three, he would have passed out.

Maybe UFC thought it could pull off a profitable Sunday fight after Utah showed prima facie evidence such an event was possible. Two months ago, fans filled EnergySolutions Arena during an extremely rare Jazz Sunday home game. Apparently, though, attending Game 4 in an NBA playoff series is easier to justify for many Utahns than turning out to cheer for a bloody, face-bludgeoning match.

"It seems like the UFC thought Mormons would simply set aside their religious beliefs for one evening," wrote Darren Wong at Bleacherreport.com. "And to their great surprise, that just didn't happen."

Give me a damn break. Plenty of talk about sabbath day observance, but not one mention of the fact that it's a POS card. Give us a decent product, we'll go.

[Coach McGuirk]

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Court freaking man handled McCray. He did pretty much whatever he wanted. He was pretty emotional afterward.

[DrumNFeather]

That Jardine fight was just sick...tons of blood.
