UFC, etc.

so do u fellas watch the ultimate fighter USA vs UK atm?? im no UFC expert but im going for USA team!!! and i hope "Money" does well!!!

Couple things:

UFC has confirmed that Mirko Cro Cop will be fighting at UFC 99 in Germany.

Herring is out with an injury so Cheick Kongo will be fighting Cain Velasquez instead at UFC 99.

Andre Arlovski will be fighting Bret Rogers at the next Strikeforce card (Lawler vs. Shields) on June 6.

Cro Cop.. meh don't really care. I think fighting Kongo will be a HUGE step up in competition for Cain much like the Carwin/Gonzaga fight. Arlovski/Rogers should be a good fight since both like to strike and because Andre has a glass jaw. I wouldn't be surprised if Rogers KO'ed Arlovski tbh.

Agreed. God I hope Cain wins, I'm a Kongo hater. Rogers winning will not be a huge upset to me either.

Good win for team USA last night. It was a poor fight overall but a wins a win.

You mean the "Ginger"? That cracks me up how the UK guys call redheads "Ginger". I guess he was gassed because he was sick when he first got on the show. Oh well. Next episode looks interesting with douche bag Bispin spraying that one USA fighter in the face with water. hahahaha..

hardly anyone does mma over here

to be honest i'm surprised we've came over and got a 4-3 lead

i thought we'd be lucky to win 2

wait until it really takes off over here

Cant wait for UFC 100 to see Henderson pound Bispin.

Hmm.. be careful there. I think Bisping's got Henderson.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Either way, watching 98 over the weekend

 

[915stag51]

I hope Lyoto takes it, but I doubt it...

 

[Karma]

although both past there best, I think hughes/serra will be a great fight...some real bad blood between those two

 

[bumblebee]

Hmm.. be careful there. I think Bisping's got Henderson.

Naw! Bispings been hiding out in the UK and has been fighting lesser fighters as of late. Hendersons a top proven fighter(pride). If it stays on the feet Besping's got the edge but I think Henderson will try to get it to the ground where he has the edge. Either way i'll be watching.

Same here.

Really? I'd be surprised to see that. Of course I'm still convinced that Bisping lost to Hamill though, and think Bisping is kind of a loud mouthed ********* so I may be a little biased.

You probably mean since he returned.. because overall Henderson is 4 - 2 in the UFC and he also won the UFC 17 MW Tournament.

I'm taking Henderson by KO.

And I'm taking Serra.

Evans and Machida is a tough pick. Should be an interesting fight. If Evans sits back it may be boring, but I dont see that happening.
