Kevin_Baxter 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Who is going? I'm in Vegas right now I'm pumped for the fights!This will probably be the biggest pay per view in the UFC history.The undecards fights, eh not so great. But Leben vs McDonald should be goodplus the return of Arlovski.The biggest news of UFC 66 is the annoucment of Mirko Cro Crop the the heavy weight divisionof the UFC. In case you haven't been following the UFC also bought out the WFA and the remainingcontracts of the fighters. The UFC has announced they picked up Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's contract.They also have signed Heath Herring, Razor Rob McCullough who is an awesome striker at LW. Jason Miller,Ivan Salverry, were signed as well.07 Will be great for the UFC, This year the "The Ice will be broken". If Quinton Jackson comes back with his heart and mind in it, Chuck Will get schooled like he did the first time. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I hope Tito gets destroyed... I hate that guy Link to post Share on other sites
ol'number7 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I hope Tito gets destroyed... I hate that guyditto.Does anyone else give Pe De Pano (Marcio Cruz) a shot against Arlovski? I took a small shot with him at 4-1. Also can't wait for Cro Cop, although I think he is better suited to Pride because they tend to stand fighters up faster than UFC does imho -- if he gets a shot at Silvia, he could potentially win via murder Link to post Share on other sites

I find UFC more entertaining and unpredictable. Link to post Share on other sites
thelivewire 0 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It should be a great fight. Ortiz has looked great against Shamrock and Lidell is a monster. Tough to call. Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks man... Liddell is running out of people to fight.Rampage Jackson is coming to UFCand so is Cro Cop ... w00t! Link to post Share on other sites
KONGOS 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It was a good fight. Even though it seemed inevitable that Liddel was going to win either by TKO or KO, I think the ref stopped it too early. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I thought it was fairly boring. Once Lidell dropped him in the first round Tito ran away for two rounds except for his one attempt late in the second round to take Chuck down which he got out of pretty easily.

Canuckickstan 2 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I was watching this half drunk with a friend and we decided to buy tickets for the one in Feb. CroKop is my favorite fighter from Pride. I gotta find a hotel now !! Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 It was a good fight. Even though it seemed inevitable that Liddel was going to win either by TKO or KO, I think the ref stopped it too early.I agree, the point the ref stopped it at should NOT have been a stoppage. Anybody know why that donk was ref'ing instead of John McCarthy? I guarantee he wouldn't have stopped the fight there. Even Randy Couture on the commentary was saying "he's not hurting him, he's not doing any damage with these shots"...then it gets stopped.He easily COULD have stopped it in the first round when Oritz was on the ground getting his face pummelled, but didn't (not sure why Chuck didn't keep punishing him there either...).Weak stoppage at that point in the third though, like you say, was inevitable though. Chuck outclassed him from the opening bell. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 overall, though, I think they let the fights go longer lately.Even Herb is learning.with the depth UFC is getting now, I wish we could have more "big Name vs Big name" per card.There just aren't enough events per year to get them all in.,So many matchups I'd love to see.
