Watched it at my buddy's house....every fight was great (with tito/ortiz being a little slower than the rest). don't like tito too much, glad the iceman took him out..
 
ppv only.

yep, all the fights were awesome!

thought they stopped the ortiz fight too early but it was inevitable...:(

yeah i think they always stop it a little too soon. i like both tito and lidell, but too bad it had to be one or the other.
 
Awesome way to close out 06. My boy Liddel came up big again! Im stoked to see who they put infront of him next.
 
indeed great fights...but I am freaking excited for february for CRO CROP...he's AMAZING, can't wait for him to fight in the UFC. He needs to fight and beat silvia like NOW!!!
 
Thanks for the fight link...great fight...I think it was stopped a bit early as Tito looks like he wasn't in any "real" peril. However, Chuck looked to me to be the better fighter. He was going to win anyway.

Cheers,

Brad
 
I don't follow much UFC, and on the rare occasion when I do, it's always the Matt Hughes fights, as he and I go wa-a-a-ay back to junior high (wrestling) and high school (he and my sister had a thing...).

Don't have cable, though, so I usually have to rely on internet to see his stuff. Our friend Job usually posts them on his MySpace page.

Here's a good story: A few years back, my friend Chad and I were walking into a bar (Cobetto's) back in Hillsboro, Illinois right when Matt was leaving. Matt and Chad were on the wrestling team together, so, naturally, they started talking trash, which led to an impromptu wrestling match. There was this blindingly fast fury of tangled limbs rolling all over the sidewalk, ending when Chad pinned Matt in less than a minute. He never lets us forget about it. :lol

That's a CRAZY story. If they were on the same time, why would they talk trash to each other; did they hate each other/ Matt Hughes was the champion for a LONG time (I always thought he was a pompous a$$, seems I was right). Glad he lost to JSP though.
 
Oh, don't misunderstand me ... Matt's a great guy, and the trash-talking was totally amiable. :lol Chad and Matt genuinely like each other, and are great friends. :D The wrestling match was just for kicks. It's how smalltown boys have fun.

As for the pompous ass thing, well ... nah. Matt's ****y, certainly (you have to be, to get into UFC), and he's very stoic. But I've never witnessed any behavior from him that would lead me to believe that he's pompous.

He's moved back to Hillsboro (pop. 4,000-ish), and he helps his father take care of the family farm. In addition, he's used a good chunk of his UFC winnings to make improvements to the community there, mostly geared towards the kids (playground equipment, tutoring, athletic program improvements), and he donates quite a bit of his personal time toward the town's young people as well.

So, yeah, I'd call Matt a pretty upright kind of guy. :rock

maybe the way I see him is a result of the prompotions from the UFC. The things he says in interviews and such don't put him in a good light, IMO and all the people I watch UFC with. Good to hear that he isn't like that in real life...

Yeah he was in some deep ****. Trust me Liddell's hands are like bricks, even though Ortiz was taking most shots on his arms in the flurries at the end of the first and then the final one that got the fight stopped, punches get through and they hurt. Watching it on TV may seem like, "oh he's just blocking them left and right", but when you get hit like that from a heavy handed striker, they ring your bell pretty good still. I watched Liddel train on a few occasions since I used to train at John Lewis's school back home in Hawaii, and Liddell and Lewis are best friends.

I also can't wait to see Arlovski climb back up to a title fight. That guy is awesome to watch.
