I was happy with the two fight's endings.

Really? I wasn't. I think it sucks that dude KO'ed himself and the other guy was shouting and bragging like HE did something. I thought it was pathetic.

UFC 97 Picks:
Anderson Silva vs Thales Leites
Chuck Liddell vs Shogun
Cheick Kongo vs Antoni Hardonk
Steve Cantwell vs Luiz Cane
Denis Kang vs Xavier
David Loiseau vs Ed Herman
Jason McDonald vs Nate Quarry

Professor X will get the upset over Kang.

It's not every day you see a guy Lindland himself. Who knows, maybe that guy would have finished by kimura had the knock out not occured. I agree with the excessive celebration being totally uncalled for.

The good ole Lindland self KO!!!

Yeah but that's the thing: who knows what the outcome would've been. So winning like THAT shouldn't have beeen cause for celebration. If it were me, I would've been disappointed to win like that. I wouldn't have been celebrating and posing like I just accomplished something. iunno.

I think it's pretty sad that he didn't even have enough power to break his arm. Don't get me wrong i'm glad the dude didn't have his arm broken but 99% of the fighters go all out on submissions once the fighter doesn't imediately tap. I gurantee he was trying his hardest or damn close to it and the dude wasnt even hurt when he got up.

Damn, it just goes to show you that big names will always het paid more. I think the winner should always get paid more than the loser unless something really unique happens in the fight.

Just as far as the top level guys: Rashad, Machida, Rampage (first fight was in Japan with NO drug testing *hint hint*) so we'll see.

 

[kobayashi93]

Oh okay.

Spoiler

Unfortunately this main event is a little lame. IMO it's a terrible style matchup. I never liked the striker vs submission matchup. Leites can't stand with Silva, and Silva will not enter Leites' gaurd.

I know it says spoilers in your results post but you use the spoiler tag here but not for the results??

What a boring ass main event....

One thing is clear to me...Silva can't create his own fight. He depends on his opponent to come to him which I find very disappointing for a guy with his skill set and attributes. Looking to counter your opponent is great, but hell if the guy can't even get in toe to toe with you, take that as a sign to go in and drop some bombs on him. geez.

Secondly, it's also clear that chuck's card has been punched one too many times. that hook didnt really hit him on the button and it still knocked him senseless. sad to see one of my fave fighters go.

I'd be pissed if i paid to see this UFC.
