I had no action on this card, but I was pretty excited to see it.

Kudos to Edgar for winning his fight. He had a great gameplan. On paper it made a lot of sense to bet Sherk. Everything that Edgar does, Sherk does better. Nice to see Edgar use footwork to win. Smart kid.

Serra and Hughes fight was pretty lame. It went about how I expected it to go. But I think Serra needed to go for broke a lot more with his punches. I guess it's tough due to his lack of reach. Hughes looked horrible. I hope that he does get rematches with GSP and Alves, I would do very well on those fights.

Machida is a freakin beast. It's funny, even though I didn't have any action on him, I was very nervous for some reason. So glad to see him get the KO. Rashad did not seem to have a gameplan which is odd coming from his camp.

People are speculating that Machida vs Rampage will be a good fight. I definitely disagree. I see Machida destroying Rampage. Machida is way too quick and has fierce leg kicks, as well as head kicks. I liked Evans against Rampage if they were to fight. And even though MMA math doesn't always add up. I see Rampage bringing nothing to the table.

Rampage can only win by getting inside on Machida, and I just can't see that happening. It's a VERY one sided fight imo.

I was close on Evans vs Rampage leaning towards Evans but as disappointing as I thought Rampage was vs Jardine at least he seems to be trying to adapt his game, work more on wrestling etc. I thought Evans would've had the best shot in the division vs Machida but really didn't seem to have much of a game plan which like you I expected coming from his camp.

Any fighter can lose on any given day if he gets ko'd or submitted. I don't see Machida getting submitted, for some reason I just don't. His chin has never truly been tested, so obviously that is the x factor. If he gets hit square, that's when we will see. But it is sooooo hard to hit that guy square.

The truth is, the only guy that can compete with Machida is Anderson Silva. And because they are friends, we won't be seeing that fight. When Chuck was in his prime he might have given Machida a good fight. But Chuck had nowhere near the accuracy that Machida does.

Not sure I agree with Rampage adapting. Forrest took his title with leg kicks and he almost lost to Jardine when he didn't even check the leg kicks. Also, Jackson and Evans have said that they were setting up their game plan for the later rounds but didn't make it, I don't think it's fair to say they didn't have a game plan when the fight was ended halfway through the second.

Silva and Machida will fight. It's already been discussed and Dana White said "fighters fight"

Rumors are Rampage and Rashad will coach TUF and Machida will fight Shogun. WTF?

Dana posted somewhere on Sunday or Monday that Rampage vs Machida was next then the next day he posted a pic of him and Shogun and said "big things were coming" he hasn't confirmed anything yet either way.

Why can't they have Rampage fight Lyoto in September, when the TUF will debut, and then Rampage fight Rashad in December when TUF's done?

If Rampage loses to Machida then beats Evans it will be tough to give him a title shot again so soon.

Wow. They played up Dave Faulkner big time, and he ****ing sucked. It seemed like he wasn't even a fighter. Maybe he just wanted to try out MMA to see if he liked it or not.

Bisping is kind of acting like a bitch.

They just announced Rampage and Rashad as coaches but haven't confirmed Machida vs Shogun yet.

At this point has Shogun really earned the spot?

I think he's still trading off how dominant he was in pride. I can't say decisioning an over the hill Coleman and KOing an over the hill Liddell is enough of a test to say if he's championship material.

He has good technical skills, he just needs to take care of his cardio. If he fights Machida it'll be a 5 round fight and if he isn't in shape, he's going to get finished.

Anyone else leaning towards Rashad vs Rampage?

he didn't decision Coleman, he tko'd him

i actually phoned up to order it...then they mentioned the price for the HD version was $59.99

I hung up and found a handy link online.

Laptop w/ hdmi + 50" plasma....did the trick

“Kimbo Slice” will be among the 16 heavyweight fighters to join the 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” according to Yahoo Sports. The Spike TV reality series starts shooting this week in Las Vegas.

It would be sooooo awesome if they brought Seth Petruzelli back and made them fight to get in the house.

Just wow!!! No wonder there not having a fight on show. Pulling out all the gimmicks to get renewed I guess. Maybe they can get Canseco on the show for Slice to have a shot at winning 1 match. He will deffinatly be in the last fight of the first round. I actually wouldnt be suprised if he gets "injured" before he can fight. Win/win for Dana I guess, he gets big ratings, and the guy that has the most name recogntion among casual mma viewers gets crushed. I just wish you could bet on TUF matches with all the Kimbo money that would pour in.

Don't worry, Kimbo money will pour in on the finale. Just seems they are selling the integrity of the show in desperation to get another contract. Rampage vs. Evans with Kimbo on the show just seems like it will get people to watch for the wrong reasons.

I think all this has to do with Dana talking out of his ass when Kimbo was in EliteXC, trying to bury their top draw. Now he's following through on it to not make himself a liar, but regardless of what happens on TUF, I'm sure Kimbo will be on the UFC roster, and having prominent fights on cards, after the show.

I like the Slice thing for both sides. It generates ratings for the UFC and it generates respect for Kimbo. I don't get all the hate for the guy. He was nothing but humble, calling himself a puppy in the MMA world, never claimed to be a world beater and just took a ridic amount of money to be the face a company, which anyone would've done. He gets my respect for going back to the bottom as opposed to side shows in Japan.

I hope he knocks some people out to shut the "purists' up. And this coming for a guy that loves jujitsu the most in MMA

I dont think people dont like Kimbo personally just how he was marketed as a legitimate MMA fighter. Plus being involved in the whole "paid to stand with Kimbo" fiasco was really shady and makes mma look really bush league. I think the only one who was mad at the money Kimbo was making was Dana White. Make no mistake though this isnt about Kimbo trying to prove himself as a legitimate MMA fighter its about money. Even though we will probally never find out for sure he is getting a nice chunk for this. 0-2 with less than a minute of total fight time in the UFC is my prediction.

I thought Dana was Mr Principle. You think he gave Kimbo a fat paycheck to do this just for ratings? Hmmmm
Exactly right. Thats why I am shocked that this is actually gonna happen
Also, I'll give action on that bet if that's exactly how you want it.
If I am gonna bet it I want a little more than 1 minute total though. That was a prediction not a invitation for a bet. I ll take an even money bet that he goes 0-2(the first round fight and probally the TUF finnale) and the total combined time of those 2 fights are less than 3 minutes. Bet is void if Kimbo doesnt fight twice unless his one fight goes over the 3 minutes. Kimbo has no ground game, no takedown defence, no gas tank and no chin. I really cant see him doing anything against anyone who is competent.

from the names i have seen i like Marcus Jones to win it all

I don't ever, ever bet sports, but I would consider taking this bet, although it's weighted in my favor. All he has to do is win one fight, lose one and go more than three minutes, or lose two and go more than three minutes total. I'd take that

from the names i have seen i like Marcus Jones to win it all

Its your call. Like I said I wasnt looking to bet just stating a opinion. The terms are very favorable to you concidering we havent seen the competition yet and they could easily have a tomato can to put in with him in the first match. And before anyone else tries to jump on this this only Applies to Mr. mexico.
