That reminds me, I need to run out and get tickets.
The last one I went to I got for free. Someone just gave them to me. Oddly enough everyone around me goes "I got mine for free too". I think they were just trying to pack the Honda Center.

Do you think Forrest has a chance? For some reason I think he does, a pretty good one. I've just never thought that highly of Shogun, but I've always been proved wrong. I thought if anyone could beat him Overeem could, and he got demolished. I don't know, I'll be pulling for Forrest.

[EddieP]

rua should take care of buisness..chuck is gonna **** up jardine:beerbang: i thought overeem would have done better myself,rua made quick work of him in their second fight.........

[EddieP]

ok come on guys we need some chatter at least,, no interest in 76???????????? like all the favs and dirty as my underdog,, last chance sanchez...............i would like too see chuckie cheese loose again,,but to jardine its not very likely...........rua debut:beerbang: i cant wait......... more than likely i wont be betting anything still going to watch:beerbang:

[BlazerAndy]

I might make a drunken play on Keith Jardine tomorrow night before the fight. Chuck pissed me off so much in that Rampage fight. I also do like Diego Sanchez. I ******* hate Jardine, but I do think an upset is at least possible. I won't have a problem if Chuck knocks him the **** out though :fire: :gulp:

[V3r1f13d]

I really think Forrest has a better chance of the upset than Jardine. I think they both lose though.

I didn't get tickets, and gave my free parking pass to a friend. I'm just going to watch from home.

[V3r1f13d]

Mostly looking forward to Nakamura vs Machida

I hope Nak uses his same entrance music as he did in Pride.

[EddieP]

tavares down to plus 120 at betus, rua down to minus 300.............rua dropped 100 bucks, v3 you might be onto something,,, would be a decent upset thats for sure but it could happen..............

[EddieP]

I might make a drunken play on Keith Jardine tomorrow night before the fight. Chuck pissed me off so much in that Rampage fight. I also do like Diego Sanchez. I ******* hate Jardine, but I do think an upset is at least possible. I won't have a problem if Chuck knocks him the **** out though :fire: :gulp:

andy jardine will be exposed tonight, houston knocked his ****en head off,chuck should have no problem, you know as well as me anything can happen, so dont let me talk you out of anything,, should be a nice night of fights.............i have the itch to bet but i dont have much money.........will be a last minute thing if i do,, will post offical picks if i play................good luck everyone:beerbang:

[yukoncornelius]

Not a whole lot to bet on with this card. With that said, this is one of the strongest cards the UFC has had in a while. I would jizz my pants if I could see this live....

Every televised fight is incredible...

My televised fight picks are - Chuck, Shogun, Tyson Griffin, Lyoto, Jon Fitch

I really like Fitch, in my opinion he is stronger (huge WW), has better wrestling, has better striking, will not get submitted. Shogun making his debut is amazing by itself. Tyson Griffin and Tavares are both top 5 LW's. Fitch and Diego are both top 5 WW's... both of those fights should be ******* WARS! Chuck/Jardine - should be a war, someone is getting KTFO. Nakamura making his debut is awesome, hes a great character. I want Nak to win but Lyoto should outpoint him and probably be a boring fight, unless Machida decides he wnats to finish a fight for once lol.

The dog with the biggest value is Keith Jardine, yes Keith Jardine. If jardine can work his strong leg kicks to throw Chuck off, he might be able to open up some nice shots.

If Shogun loses, I'm gonna cry... I just hope Rua is ready for the change in UFC rules. Forrest Griffin doesn't have balls by taking this fight, hes just smart. He didn't want to fight Machida becuase he woudl lose, so by fighting Shogun its a win win. If he loses, he lost to a top 2 LHW fighter in the world, if he wins, he looks incredible. I think Forrest definitely has a shot to win, but I still think Shogun will pull it out. I hope Rua wins in devistating fashion and sends a message to fans out there.

As far as some of the undercard fights... Saraiva has some value at +155 simply cause of his jiu jitsu. Omigawa at +265 has vlaue too, I don't believe Wiman is good enough to be that big of a favorite.

The day of dogs was earlier this week with K1 Heros, I still curse betus for not opening that card up.

[EddieP]

i was just about to say where the hell is yukon when you need him:beerbang: yukon you really think tyson can win this fight??? this tavares is one bad dude......i liked tyson from the start until i saw a tavares fight on spike last night.......... ok we agree on shogun,machida,and chuckles.........dont know what to think about sanchez right now, at first i liked him,now im not so sure......when i start changing my mind i know im ****ed..........really itchy to bet:beerbang:

[yukoncornelius]

Tavares is a bad dude for sure... he was VERY impressive in his last fight. In my opinion Griffin is stronger, hes also very slick on the ground, and he is very hard to submit. Striking is somethign we'll have to see, but Tyson is looking to prove something tonight.

Diego sounds ready more than ever tonight and has really talked about pushing the pace big time. Fitch is just a bad matchup, plus Fitch is one of my favorite fighters :)

[EddieP]

i havent seen much of fitch........ but tavares, the guy calling the fight last night compared him to a young vitor belfort,, that it self is one hell of a compliment.........sanchez really dissapointed me against koschek,, it s one thing to loose but he didnt even try to do anything in that fight and looked very tenative the entire way......we saw how good kos was his last time out:beerbang: i hate that cocky ****:bang: gsp brought him back down to earth real quick

[EddieP]

tavares just seems like his upper body is so much stronger,arms like a light heavy for christ sakes..........i dont think he will get subbed by say an armbar or kimura,,,,,,, just like rampage, dont look like you can just twist this guys arm,he is too strong........damn it should be one great night of fights..........cant believe rua is down to 300 from 400........ that worries me big time.........
