All in all, I found myself longing for Pride Fighting, UFC really dropped the ball on this one, most of the fights were lame. Cro Cop vs. unknown and useless punching bag, Anderson Silva vs. unprofessional fat feck who can't make weight for a title fight.

Couture is un-retiring and will face Sylvia at UFC 68. He signed a 4-fight deal for the Heavyweight division.R0nald0 said:
The best rating that PPV could get was decent. Spent the $40... certainly wasn't worth it....Dr. Dwayne said:
So any predictions for the Sylvia-Couture fight??

I can see the headlines:
Old man Randy Couture gets beaten up as daughters watch in horror - again.
Certainly the most likely outcome.....Dr. Dwayne said:

Yep, shame really. Is tarnishing his rep by taking these fights. you never know though, Sylvia is shit enough to be beaten by a 40+ yr old!RedCanadian said:
I live in England and the UFC fights are all free - even if they are a day late. We only get the PPV's though - no fight nights etc
Some other decent fights on this card here's the televised lineup:
Tim Sylvia v Randy Couture
Matt Hughes v Chris Lytle
Rich 'Ace" Franklin v Jason MacDonald
Renato "Babalu" Sobral v Jason Lambert
Drew McFedries v Martin Kampman
There are more 4 more fights on the undercard:
Rex Holman v Matt Hamill
John Fitch v Luigi Fioravanti
Gleison Tibau v Jason Dent
Jason Gilliam v Jamie Varner
Tim Sylvia v Randy Couture
Matt Hughes v Chris Lytle
Rich 'Ace" Franklin v Jason MacDonald

With that many fights it might be worth it to order on PPV. They usually end up showing them all. My DVR might not have enough room to hold it, though. Too many United games (mine) and too much Dawson's Creek (my wife's).RedCanadian said:
Dawson's Creek?? Please tell me she doesn't make you watch it.....Dr. Dwayne said:
she tries and so I make up funny theme songs and she tells me to go away, that or I flatly refuse to spend time with her while she's watching it. either one works.RedCanadian said:
Yeah good plan, I like to use the mock commentary system where you replace what the characters are saying on screen with completely obscene remarks.... at that point she tells me I don't have to watch it..... works every time....Dr. Dwayne said:
UFC 68: THE UPRISING this Saturday
So, who's going to watch it?
I'll be at the local pub.

What a display from Randy. Total domination and you would think he was 30 and Sylvia was 43.MS MSP said:
yeah!!LFC2IDIE said:
c'mon Randy!!... i hate that sylvia
What a performance by Couture!!! total Domination!!!Some great fights on the card - good to see Rich back to his old ways, cant believe Randy..... what a feckin legend!! I bet Dana is chuffed to bits to see Sylvia knocked off the top spot - reckon its gotta be UFC 73 - COUTURE VS CRO COP - dont get me wrong Randys game plan against Timmy was spot on but against Mirko he's gonna be up against an A+ striker with a great TKD defence - if he tries something similar against the Croatian it aint gonna be pretty......
I was shocked and surprised as to how well Couture did.
Just goes to show how shit Sylvia and the whole UFC Heavyweight division is.
I hope Randy doesn't rush to fight CroCop because I think he'll get killed.

Agreed.... the Pride heavyweights are in a different class... If he fights CroCop it will not be pretty.....MS MSP said:

GSP let me down big time...too bad as I had the other picks right.
UFC 70 this Saturday on Live on Spike for all us Canadians and Americans....
he completely underestimated serra.... should kick his arse next time
hell ya, Cro Cop is fighting, Andrei is fighting and Bisping! will be a great card
Definitely a great card!!
Yeah.... what the feck happened there??? GSP should easily have been able to out strike Serra if he wanted to keep it standing..... bizarre?!?!
Anybody here about Big *** come over to the UFC - Dana says theyre gonna give him a top fight straight away - should be great!!
Who?
BigNog
Not sure who you are talking about...... Fedor??Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - seriously gooooooood!!
Nogueira.... very good. Never heard of him called that before.
did anyone else think Cro Cop wasn't going to get up after he was KO'd? Was I seeing things, or did he actually walk out at the end? I thought he broke his ankle and leg/knee.
Cro Cop looked like shit and then left himself completely exposed..... reminded me of when Kevin Randleman knocked him out....
I haven't seen that particular fight. To me, it really looked like that kick was destined for Cro Cop's ribcage and at the last second, the dude lifted it. craziest knockout I've ever seen.
You should see him get one-punched by Randleman....
