Tito tries to be the Muhammad Ali of UFC. He's a very good fighter and was an excellent coach on the Ultimate Fighter, so once he drops the Ali shit, he'll have 100% of my support instead of like 70% of it.

Sanchez is a good fighter, but god damn I just hate him to death. It's the god damn mustache and Jeri-Curl that drives me insane. I can't wait for him to fight Hughes, Hughes is just going to manhandle him.

Hughes/GSP 3 will also be a great fight. Hughes underestimated GSP second time around, just like BJP did against Hughes.

I hope BJ sticks with 155 this time around. He is going to wreck Pulver at UFN and hopefully get a shot at the belt. Melvin Guilliard is a rising star in that division. HW power at 155.

I'm glad this topic was made. I'm a huge MMA fan and I applaud the choice to bring in Quinton Jackson, Mirko CroCop and Heath Herring from Pride Fighting. I also appaud the fact that Joe Lauzon(who kicked the shit out of Jens Pulver) is sponsored by Jake Bannon's (of Converge) Death Wish Inc.

What do you guys think of the upcoming Slyvia Vs. Couture fight? I'm down with it but I thought Brandon Vera deserved the shot. I also think CroCop's legs will eventually take over the division.

word.

Are you saying he's gonna kick ass or get his ass kicked?

I think he will win. He's fought heavyweight a good portion of his career. He's been there. Slyvia is just a shitty fighter.

i think couture is going to get killed. he looked really outmatched in his last fight and probably hasn't been training as much as sylvia because he "retired". also, he's got to bulk up to get into heavyweight shape which takes time. his age has caught up and that's not a good time to be fighting the champ.

mirko is going to end someone's life.

Sylvia will beat Couture. People don't understand that in these past few fights he has fought defensively with a strategy to just keep the belt. Andre is a great fighter and it takes stuff like that to beat him. Sylvia is underrated. He'll beat Couture and then lose to Cro Cop.

You just said it. He has fought defensively with a strategy to keep a belt. He brings no killer instinct into his fights. He's shitty, not a good fighter at all. He got lucky in Arlovski fight 2 and neither him or Andre wanted to win number 3. Jeff Munson didn't stand a chance and it was Sylvia's chance to showcase his fighting abilities. Instead, it was like a sparring match with a big couch that didn't involve any good action. Couture, like in all of his fights will bring the action. Age will also not be a issue in this fight just because Couture is in better shape than Sylvia. Everybody thinks he stopped training but that's his career. He stills trains with his younger developing fighters and camp. Word.

I'll give Couture a chance but I'm sure his comments about Sylvia fighting without heart will bring out more of Sylvia's old offensive style. The way I see it in my head says that Sylvia has a 70% chance of winning this fight to Couture's 30%. I personally think it was smart (not cowardly) of Sylvia to fight defensively against Arlovski because Andre is a great striker. But back to Couture, Sylvia has the reach advantage and can still hit hard if he needs to.
I'd also like to add that your band is awesome and I really like the album.

Word. Either way, I'm looking forward to the PPV. Hopefully, they give Franklin and Hughes decent opponents like maybe Mike Zwick and Karo Parysian. Maybe even Diego Sanchez and thanks for the band comment, it means a lot.

I've said it once I'll say it again, as much as I like Couture, I don't think he has a shot. I've discussed this with my brother for hours, but I think Couture is already a step behind not having fought HW in years. Not to mention Couture showed in his last couple fights with Liddell he couldn't handle his heavy hands. If he can't handle Liddell's heavy hands than he'll have just as much if not more with Sylvia. Not to mention if you want to look at past opponents Sylvia easily handled Ricco Rodriguez after Ricco submitted Couture. Everything that Couture would have going for him, Sylvia has shown he can handle. I'm not a huge Sylvia fan, but I think he is currently the best HW in UFC. Not counting Cro Cop as he hasn't fought yet.

Franklin is fighting Jason MacDonald in his next fight. MacDonald is the one who has won his last 2 fights against Ed Herman and Chris Leben. I think Franklin is going to destroy him personally. MacDonald is lucky he beat Leben as he was getting his ass handed to him in that fight. Also Franklin supposedly was very sick leading up to his fight with Silva, so I think we may see Rich Franklin on the warpath. As for Hughes I think they are going to be saving Diego for a fight against St. Pierre. I mean they could go with the plan similar to that of Tito and Forrest and have Hughes fight the up and comer in the division to show he still belongs. Yet, it all comes to the bottom line. A St. Pierre/Hughes rematch is going to bring a lot of money. I think Hughes may get Thiago Alves as his next opponent.

[YouMadeTheScene]

On a side note I'm surprised Pride got a hold of Mac Danzig before UFC did. UFC is trying to bolster its lightweight division, and Danzig would've been a good addition.

[FinchBulldog2]

Swick vs Franklin would be nuts. They would have to be the number 1 and 2 contenders after this next card, right?
