all the good names are gone		2008-08-09 09:42:09 PM

My guess... Brock Lesnar gets his ass handed to him again.

Mixolydian Master		2008-08-09 09:43:14 PM

I'm with ya there. Send his ass back to the WWF so all these wrestling nuthuggers will go away.

Ashyn		2008-08-09 09:53:02 PM

The guy was a college wrestling champion, not like he doesn't have any experience related to MMA.

True, but he doesn't have much MMA experience... tonight is only his 3rd fight

And GSP should win too...

Earguy		2008-08-09 09:59:38 PM

There's a UFC PPV up against the olympics? Doesn't seem wise.

Herring's not much of a finisher, so he's not in danger of a repeat of the Mir fight.

I'd rather pay to watch a UFC bout than swimming preliminaries.

awfulperson		2008-08-09 10:16:12 PM

Damn--87 years of UFC. Seems like it was just yesterday.

anyone who ever appeared in the wwe is clearly bad at fighting for real otherwise they wouldn't fight fakely! especially alleged "gold medalist" kurt angle. or ken shamrock. or tank abbot.

Until 2006 or so, there was a hell of a lot more money in pro wrestling than there was in MMA.

Hell, Kazushi Sakuraba was a pro wrestler too.

Interesting thing to note: A few years ago, the crowd would've booed and shat all over the first round of Maya/McDonald.

Mixolydian Master		2008-08-09 10:34:35 PM

damn, that was a great fight between maya/mcdonald

They both had rear naked chokes on each other, full mounts, triangles

StopArrestingMe		2008-08-09 10:35:25 PM

Sopcast?

Thank you sir (or madam, too lazy and drunk to check).

Florian is dominating Huerta.

FTFY

The U-87 is a fine microphone, useful in many recording situations.

Wait... UFC-87?

gruffgoat		2008-08-09 11:08:49 PM

Roger Huerta just got out stratergerized by Kenny Florian

shackelford		2008-08-09 11:10:18 PM

Will the ladies still love Huerta??

coachwdb		2008-08-09 11:13:19 PM

Will the ladies still love Huerta??

After the swelling goes down.

coachwdb		2008-08-09 11:18:01 PM

WOW! Emerson clocked Gamburyan in the first 10 seconds. Lights out.

markhwt		2008-08-09 11:19:09 PM

Good stoppage by the ref, Emerson was limp as can be..

the biggest redneck here		2008-08-09 11:19:45 PM

He still doesn't know where he is, but he sure is happy as hell.

markhwt		2008-08-09 11:20:36 PM

I meant Gamburyan...
I probably shouldn't say limp in a UFC thread or some stupid farker will start in with the gay jokes.

M0nk3yK!ng		2008-08-09 11:21:53 PM

He's gonna cry in the locker room though!

coachwdb		2008-08-09 11:25:17 PM

Well, this will last one round, then on to Lesnar.

gruffgoat		2008-08-09 11:25:46 PM

I didn't realize Pierluigi Collina was fighting in the UFC

suicide		2008-08-09 11:29:14 PM

Mixolydian Master

thanks for the link.

RevMercutio		2008-08-09 11:37:36 PM

Kongo playing the villain and blowing off Rogan was tremendous.

hartman5000		2008-08-09 11:39:22 PM

haha, I could picture Brock at the top of the Donkey Kong tower.

HardRocker488		2008-08-09 11:41:33 PM

Lesnar not using his old wrestling music?

/"Here Comes the Pain"
//Doesn't really care about the rest of the card

coachwdb		2008-08-09 11:41:42 PM

Lesnar looks like a freakin' monster.

markhwt		2008-08-09 11:41:44 PM

I hope Herring gets rocked. I haven't liked him since he started whining after he got beat by Jake O'Brian.

the biggest redneck here		2008-08-09 11:42:30 PM

Lesnar is still a big boy sans 'roids.

hartman5000		2008-08-09 11:42:42 PM

Herring over Lesner by submission in round 1, like the Mir fight.

deadpo3t		2008-08-09 11:42:48 PM

that is a large mammal

HardRocker488		2008-08-09 11:43:39 PM

Holy shiat its the Undertaker

But what does Heath's hair resemble??

WWE owns it. Plus it's been 4+ years since he's used it.

the biggest redneck here		2008-08-09 11:45:27 PM

hartman5000: Herring over Lesner by submission in round 1, like the Mir fight.

Yeah, I think this will always be Lesnar's weakness, no matter who he beats in MMA; he'll always be the guy who started WAY later than his opponent, which leaves him open to getting caught making stupid "rookie" mistakes.

hartman5000		2008-08-09 11:46:11 PM

shackelford: a white Mr. T, sorta.

the biggest redneck here		2008-08-09 11:46:18 PM

81" reach is simply insane.

markhwt		2008-08-09 11:46:44 PM

It is surprisingly just a mohawk It doesn't look to be dyed this time.

HardRocker488		2008-08-09 11:47:55 PM

I want to see him botch a SSP again

/I know this isn't WWE
//Just being an idiot

RevMercutio		2008-08-09 11:48:00 PM

hartman5000: Herring over Lesner by submission in round 1, like the Mir fight.

Herring hasn't beaten a non-freakshow fighter (i.e. Giant Silva) by submission in years. I don't think he taps Brock.

Lesnar by decision.
