UFC 86

[Bigga]

As a deposed champion, SDB, Rampage has the right to try reclaim his crown. Most fights have been that way, I think.

Like I said, Si, it was the damage to Rampage's leg that stopped him reaching Forrest. Remember, he spent all of round two on his back to give his leg time to recover. All that time and Forrest virtually did no damage to him! That's what I was surprised at. Remember the arm bar attempt? Rampage pick him up like nothing! Forrest has his limits on the ground and his strategy was to stick and move, which he got away with.

I like the fella, but I can't see him as a legendary champ. Jackson, yeah, if he gets his head out of his arse, cos he has 85% of what's needed. Just no ju-jitsu. He can put up a decent defence, but that's it.

 

[SBD]

Round 2 was a shocker in that neither could do anything on the ground

I cant see Rampage getting the next shot as automatic rematch's are few and far between, thats why i like the idea of those four fighters having the match up's i meantioned and the winner gets a shot but the way the UFC works is they either want the belt on Chuck or maybe even Anderson Silva with him coming up

 

[Bigga]

Is Anderson seriously considering going up a level? Bad move. He's an absolute natural at the weight he is and don't think he'll go up. Down, maybe, but not up.

As for automatic shots, well Forrest offered it live on TV, so now it's Jackson's option to take it.

 

[SBD]

Yea on July the 19th the idea is he will fight at 2 weights but the main reason is the Affliction PPV is the same night (hopefully Mr Giz can tell us a site its on) so the UFC are doing a free tv card in the hope you wont buy the Affliction PPV

Gonna be interesting to see how Fedor looks against Sylvia

No it won't. Sylvia's a big guy, but he's slow. Brandon Vera only got beat cos he was smothered. Sylvia has no true fight game. Even I know Fedor will move around him!

 

[Bigga]

In fact, SBD, do you know if the Afflication show will be on a free site, somewhere? I can watch both, that way!

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Fedor hasn't been particularly busy of late though, I hope he smashes Sylvia

Big men in underpants slapping each other is even gayer than Philbo.
