Certainly does!!

Apparently there is a deal being worked out for Liddell versus Wanderlei Silva (the champion of Pride). Silva's a beast and I think he'll take out Liddell if they get to fight.

No, Silva has never fought Sapp. Although I think it would be funny to see 200 lb Silva against 370 lb Sapp... big guy chasing the little guy all over the ring....

Totally lost track of UFC - used to love watching it.

Last time I saw it ''The Iceman'' Liddell was champ.

Is Matt Hughes still champ at his weight? He seemed to win every time I watched him.

The next Hughes-George St. Pierre match will be outstanding. GSP will win this time. He learned a whole lot from the last fight. He also learned alot from beating Penn.

Penn is like a rubber man, which is what Hughes had a problem with in their first match. I can't stand Hughes, but I would rather see GSP beat him for the title than see another GSP-Penn fight. Penn hit him with one punch in the entire match and broke his nose, other than that he didn't do anything. I was actually disappointed in that fight.

I'd find it flattering if someone hard rubbed against me.

Was watching UFC all the time whilst at work these past two weeks, shame to hear Liddel beat Sobral, I was hoping the latter would win. That de Wees fight on ultimate fighter was different class though, couldn't believe how much blood was pouring out of him, I've watched UFC occasionally over the years and always been disappointed by how little blood would be shed. I missed the show yesterday for fuck sake, I'm liking it, I want to see what all the fuss about Pride etc is as well

Pride's pretty good. Has some really good fighter's Wanderlei Silva, Mirko Crocop, Aleksander Emilianenko, A.R. Nogueira, Phil Baroni, Kevin Randleman, Takanori Gomi, and a lot of real good Japanese fighters.

If you haven't seen it before, they fight in a boxing ring and not a cage. If the fighters get caught up near the ropes, they stop it, move them to the middle and put them back in the position they were in before the stoppage.

If you like UFC, you will like Pride.

Pride is occasionally on Spike TV isn't it? I think I've seen it on the shedule but not for a while

How did the fight between Griffin and Bonner turn out? I remember watching the first one, did the second live up to the hype?

i really like pride when i get the chance to see it... here in uk they hardly ever show it on tv... sometimes they have it on eurosport..
but the pride audience understand the fights better... they are much more respectfull of the fighters , like when on the ground... when working positions, the pride audience know what's going on and you hear them respond when a fighter for example gets half guard or passes to the side..

whereas the ufc audience seem only to like a fight if it involves striking... they don't seem to understand the technicalities of ground fighting...
they want to see 2 people punching the shit out of eachother...
there's nothing wrong with that but it's not the only way to fight and certainly isn't the smartest

Totally agree with you on the audience. Much more knowledgeable in Japan.

Just read on the UFC website that Bonnar failed a steroid's test after the match with Griffin. Here's the article

The following is a new article from UFC.com

Bonnar Tests Positive, Faces Suspension and Fine
By Thomas Gerbasi

On Wednesday, a complaint was filed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission against light heavyweight contender Stephan Bonnar, citing a positive test result for the banned substance Boldenone.

Bonnar was tested after his three round decision loss to Forrest Griffin at UFC 62 on August 26th. Boldenone is an anabolic agent which was also one of the substances former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett tested positive for after his title-winning effort over Randy Couture in March of 2002. Barnett was subsequently stripped of his title by the UFC and suspended by the NSAC.

“Obviously, we need to wait and hear Stephan’s side of the story, but the UFC wholeheartedly supports the commission’s continuing efforts to keep this sport clean and to protect the athletes,” said UFC President Dana White. “I hope this is the type of news we never have to hear again in professional sports.”

Bonnar has until September 26th to respond to or dispute this complaint in writing, and then a disciplinary hearing will be set. Bonnar faces a fine and suspension from the NSAC.

I'd rather watch them a day later and for free than pay $50 bucks and watch them live.

how can this channel broadcast a PPV for free, just wondering?

yes lets all hope Ken pulls one out of the bag and shuts Tito the fuck up.

C'mon people I know Ken is loud and some may find him a bit OTT and his best is clearly behind him, but how anyone can cheer for Tito is beyond me - hes a classless punk. Fuck him

I don't think too many of the people on here are cheering for SCAMROCK, you may be the only one. Tito may be arrogant, but you have to have an attitude to be an effective fighter.

dunno about that mate... yeah tito is mouthy... but only as part of his fight persona... seeing him on the ultimate fighter as a couch changed my view of him... he was an excellent coach who got in there and trained hard with his team, he genuinley cared about each member of his team and did his utmost to help each one improve.... training each one as an individual and giving really good corner advice in the fights.

Ken spent the whole time trying to bully and dominate his team... was a shit coach ( a body builder for nutritional advice?! )
and his corner advice was just shouting... suck it up! knock him out! and shit like that... no sound tactical or technical advice throughout the fights like tito gave...

the guy with the crazy eyes has gone...
actually... the fight finished quick but i think it's cos the winner ( cant recall his name ) was good.. he was going for a kimura or something then switched to that triangle... and the triangle was sunk in deep, even when getting slammed he kept
