**DizzzeeJungle** · 10-12-2009, 06:06 PM

what is this? looks kind of dodgy ...

**Plankton** · 10-12-2009, 07:38 PM

It looks like Dustin Hazelett is replacing Carlos Condit to face Paul Daley @ UFC108. Hazelett vs Daley is a fucking awesome match up.

I really like Daley's striking, he's very technical, but Hazelett is also very technical on the ground and is pretty loose standing up. I don't think many will know Daley since he's racked up most of his victories in the Cage Rage and EliteXC/Strikeforce promotions, but he's up there for sure. Should be an interesting fight.

My picks are

BJ PENN
Cheick Kongo
John Fitch
Clay Guida (I hope!! Fuck florian!)
Stefan Struve

I hate how everyone is writing off Cheick Kongo. He needs to smash mir in the face and then thats it, I just hope it doesnt hit the floor.

Has anyone seen how big frank mir is now? scary! Hes obsessed with brock!

**Suloh** · 12-12-2009, 06:20 PM

Sanchez
Kongo
Fitch
Guida
Struve

**badr** · 13-12-2009, 12:54 PM

what a great fight by struve!!

WAR Guida!!!

**Birt** · 14-12-2009, 07:32 AM

It was a good night of fights.

I also liked my picks, if only I had some pennies down.

**Deej** · 14-12-2009, 09:02 AM

I didn't expect Mir to win so quick

**badr** · 14-12-2009, 11:16 AM

sanchez got fucked up.

PS: UFC 110 in sydney sold out... wanderlei vs bisping

UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi, going to see who's on the card there before i splash out for tickets...

I was furious. I made the mistake of waiting until Monday to try to buy tickets because I don't have the Internet switched on at home yet. Scalpers are charging a mint for the tickets.

Mir v Carwin for intermin HW title likely in march!

It appears the wait for a heavyweight title fight for Shane Carwin has finally been set, except it will be for an interim title, as current champion Brock Lesnar remains on the mend. Carwin will now likely face Frank Mir in an interim heavyweight title match at UFC 111 on March 27 in Newark, N.J.

The rumored bout has started to take shape sources close to the negotiations disclosed to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday night. Possibility of the bout was first reported by AOL Fanhouse.

The likelihood of this fight came about most likely in two parts following the UFC 107 weekend that just past. First, UFC president Dana White said the company was looking to make a decision in the next 6 to 8 weeks about the future of the title with Lesnar still sidelined.

**Suloh** · 19-12-2009, 12:40 AM

110 has a decent card. Really looking forward to the sotoropolus v stevenson match, sotoropolus has some amazing bjj but hes not the same calibre of a fighter that stevenson is. Will be a good test for him though

**Birt** · 20-12-2009, 07:24 AM

Is anyone here going to 110?

I am going to make it to an event next year, one of my little goals.

**Brendon.gl** · 20-12-2009, 10:09 AM

was going to but its sold out now

I'm going to 112 in Abu Dhabi, no presale yet :/

spun out, it sold out in a day in NSW.

**badr** · 22-12-2009, 08:30 PM

Anyone NOT rooting for Rashad VS Thiago on Jan 2nd?

The statistics are shown there is nothing but mass support for Evans in this fight.

I'm sorry, but T.Silva is going to make Evans put the lotion in the basket.

**voi** · 05-01-2010, 09:48 AM

Dana White said Diego Sanchez was the most busted up fighter he'd ever seen. Is he right? That's Jon Fitch after he lost his five-round fight against Georges St. Pierre at UFC 87. Sanchez' nose looks broken, his lip was split and he suffered a cut on his forehead that's nearly the entire length of his eyebrow. B.J. Penn is a dangerous man

dayyumm yo!

**Suloh** · 05-01-2010, 01:42 PM

fuck thats nasty, mir got pretty badly beaten at the 2nd lesnar fight. marvin eastman got the worst cut ive ever seen though.

Joe Rogan made me LOL when he said it looked like a goat's vagina.

Still makes me laugh to this day.

Oh and this too.

Classic UFC.

Oh and since i am posting I didn't mind the one on the weekend kept me entertained.

**voi** · 12-01-2010, 10:47 AM

Hayy guys is there any place in Perth that shows the ufc live? pubs etc?

Thanks

**Suloh** · 24-01-2010, 07:58 PM

**badr** · 24-01-2010, 09:25 PM

Coutoure vs Coleman coming up *yawn*

at least after that its stacked

UFC 110- Nog VS Valasquez, Wanderlei VS Bisping
UFC 111- GSP vs Hardy, Mir VS Carwin (two belts)
UFC 112- A. Silva VS Belfort, Penn VS Edgar

**The Biz** · 24-01-2010, 10:54 PM

Less than a month to go before 110 now. Getting ridiculously pumped.
Those ads they show on ONE send me into hysterics each and every time.

Lol @ Birt. That 'goats vagina' line is the funniest thing I've ever heard on any kind of sports commentary.
Now everytime someone gets a mean cut, Beastman's gaping maw always seems to get referenced.

on a strictly muay thai basis right now, but when Im in perth during the day I fancy (if im ok after tattoos) to get some grappling in. ADCC will be over run with idiots after UFC 112 so I'm waiting for summer to start my belts. I'm excited!

**discount** · 25-01-2010, 04:47 PM

See how money situation is, but I want to make an effort to go down to New Jersey in March for GSP v Hardy.
And obviously will get tickets for ufc 113 on May 8 in Montreal, Shogun v Machida and Evans v Rampage

**Suloh** · 25-01-2010, 05:57 PM

the rumour mill is going around on this one, then again they want two belts at the AD event (112) so maybe not.

Would be a huge fight though, would rampage get the win? Rashad seems to have taken a page out of GSP's book and started the whole LnP thing.

**Deej** · 25-01-2010, 09:51 PM

Rampage and Rashad talking shit to each other on TUF was fuckin hilarious. IF YOU ARE FEELIN FROGGY THEN JUMP!! hahahaa. I'd like to see Rampage powerbomb him for the win.

**badr** · 27-01-2010, 03:54 PM

I think Cigano is going to fight the winner of Carwin/ Mir

OR

He'll fight Valasquez if he beats big nog and then the winner takes on the winner of Mir/Carwin.

Fuck the HW division for the UFC is S T A C K E D.

In other news, Werdum is being fed to Fedor. No more pussy footing needed Fedor needs to fight Overeem for the strikeforce HW belt.

Fedor is GOAT, seriously... fuck GSP with his LnP and Anderson Silva.

**discount** · 27-01-2010, 05:44 PM

well nothing is confirmed yet, but the card so far is still pretty good in my opinion

Champ Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (for light heavyweight title)*
Paul Daley vs. Josh Koscheck*
Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira*
Marcus Davis vs. Jonathan Goulet*
Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. Matt Mitrione*
Alan Belcher vs. Patrick Cote*
Jeremy Stephens vs. Sam Stout*
T.J. Grant vs. Johny Hendricks*

**badr** · 27-01-2010, 05:51 PM

was cote's last fight anderson silva? Sheit hes been out a while, he should be fighting bispind I reckon but this looks like a great match up for him.

**Plankton** · 27-01-2010, 06:01 PM

It will be good to see Cote back, he's got a nice style standing up. His fight a couple of years ago with McFedries was pretty intense.

**The Biz** · 27-01-2010, 07:21 PM

Some awesome match-ups on that card.

Machida v Shogun 2 will be good, I think Machida will come better prepared this time which will make for an even closer fight. I'd hate to have to judge another 5 rounds with these guys.

Daley v Koscheck should be exciting too, both very explosive fighters, with incredibly big mouths. I tend to like the 'heel' personalities so I'm hoping Kos gets the W here.

Nog vs Griffin. This is little Nog right? Either way I can see another embarrassing defeat for Griffin, prompting another tear fueled run to the back. Run Forrest, run!

Kimbo vs Meathead Mitrione. Not the biggest Kimbo fan in the world, in fact, not really a Kimbo fan at all, but this HAS to end in a devastating KO. I NEED to see Mitrione get his lights turned off, after that shit he pulled in the TUF house, what a tool.

This card even has some fucking insane prelims!

Belcher vs Cote and Stephens vs Stout are both potential FOTN winners here, even underneath the stacked main card. All 4 of these guys work their arses off every time they fight, so I'd be going out of my way to find both these fights if they don't end up airing on the main broadcast.

25 days until 110 in Sydney! Bring the pain!

**badr** · 28-01-2010, 04:04 AM

Two belts on for UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi: A. Silva VS V. Belfort & BJ Penn VS Frankie Edgar

huge! Hughes vs Renzo Gracie too!

**The Biz** · 28-01-2010, 04:49 AM

Haha, that's awesome. It's their first ever outdoor event, isn't it?
I'm glad Vitor is getting his shot soon, he seems like the only middleweight who can truly challenge the Spider right now.
Hughes vs Gracie will be interesting, but probably not very exciting. Let's see if the farmboy can go 2 from 2 against the Gracie dynasty.

**badr** · 28-01-2010, 05:02 PM

Yea its in the ferrari world stadium on yas island, so its not REALLY AD, but close enough... I'm buying tickets when they go on sale, its predicted to sell out.

**badr** · 30-01-2010, 07:24 PM

Thought I'd share the BJ Penn RVCA add for his latest frost tee.

talking heads \m/

**The Biz** · 31-01-2010, 12:16 AM

Whenever I go on record with my fight picks, I always do dismally.
With that said, here goes, my picks for UFC 109.

Couture def. Coleman
Marquardt def. Sonnen
Swick def. Thiago
Maia def. Miller
Serra def. Trigg

Interested to read your pics badr, you seem to be the man around these parts.

**badr** · 31-01-2010, 03:36 AM

Cotoure VS Coleman
Marquardt VS Sonnen (via RAPE)
Thaigo Alves VS Mike Swick (has good record against AKA guys)
Jim Miller VS Damien Maia (love anyone from Wand Fight Team plus Jim Miller wants to roll with him lol)
Matt Serra VS Frank Trigg (Trigg will give up his back)

**The Biz** · 31-01-2010, 04:11 AM

It's not Thiago Alves, it's Paulo Thiago.
And it's not Jim Miller, it's Dan Miller.

**badr** · 31-01-2010, 02:00 PM

my bad

never seen paulo thiago fight cause he's been on undercards before. I just like how the top end of the WW division has three guys from one team that are unwilling to fight each other, so if thiago wins this it might pull down AKA a notch or two.

Same issue with having Big Nog and JDS in HW's top 5.

Dan Miller wants to roll with Maia he will lose. I still believe it was a stupid move on Maia's end to just walk up to marquardt whos a bigger stronger guy with longer arms who KTFO him.

**The Biz** · 31-01-2010, 02:10 PM

Who is the third guy who won't fight his mates? It's Kos, Swick... and who else?

That Marquardt/Maia fight was crushing. I was looking for Maia to pull out another submission of the night,
and what does he do? Runs face first into Marquardt's fist, haha.

Waiting for Strikeforce: Miami to get capped and uploaded now...

**badr** · 31-01-2010, 02:53 PM

John Fitch is the other AKA WW guy.

I'm considering doing a parlay bet on this, aside from Serra vs Trigg everything else seems like a certain win..
