He needs a ground game. He can develop one and that needs time.
I think Soku could tear up alot of the UFC LHWs right now, but i do agree he needs IMO 2-4 fights until he comes over. Soku>Arona.![]()

Silva calls out Forrest, disappointed by the Chuck fight. This was on his website, but his site is down right now.

and Chuck wants Shogun...not retiring...

I don't get why he wants Shogun. If he wants to fight in Dec, he should be fighting Wandy.
i agree they talked about fighting each other and now they are gonna fight other guys![]()
UFC is for flamers.

"MMA is all washed up"
http://www.moynihanins ute.com/
This is an officially recognized week of mourning for white trash sports fans. All Confederate flags will be flow at half staff at trailer parks around the country. Chuck Liddell is officially washed up. Yeah that’s right the Ice Man got dropped again by…by…let’s see…some other hillbilly…what’s his name…does it really matter? No it doesn’t matter unless of course you’re white trash.
For years white trash sports fans had little to be proud of. Sure there were “athletes” a plenty in “sports” that involved the combustion engine and of course there were always the fishing champions. Those “sports” are pretty much all locked up by white trash. But it’s been years since a member of the white trash demographic was a champion of any sport that required you stamp out your cigarette before the actual compe ion. Trailer park people are not exactly known for staying in shape. So Chuck Liddell was their man. Now that he’s done it’s back to NASCAR and Bass fishing.
I’m glad he got his ass kicked. Maybe now we can finally relegate MMA to where it belongs. In the gutter. Let’s face it, Liddell was the star attraction in MMA. I couldn’t name but one or two other guys in the sport. And why was the Iceman so popular? Because he knocked guys out with punches. You know, like they’ve been doing in boxing for like 2,000 years. Punches not gay leg locks. No one but a kweer wants to see some guy tap out with his face up against some dudes nads. No one cares about obscure martial arts like Brazilian Jew- su or whatever they call it. It’s boring and extremely gay. No cares about wrestling or Muay Thai. What got people jazzed up about Liddell was that he was aggressive and beat the crap out of guys with punches.
Boxing is the only manly combat sport out there. That’s just the way it is. And please spare me this business about who would win a street fight. You know who wins the street fights these days? The guy with the bigger gun. That’s who. So shut the up about street fights already. I’m tired of hearing about MMA taking over boxing. That’s bull . The biggest gate ever in MMA was Liddell vs. Ortiz at around $5.5 million. Not too shabby but not even in the top 20 gates of boxing. DeLahoya vs. Mayweather gated over $19 million. MMA is bush league filled with no class bums. Liddell is a bum, a drug addict and a drunk who couldn’t cut it in boxing or wrestling at a second rate college. Keep in mind he’s the cream of the crop.
MMA is for trash. In the porn world it would be a step below bestiality. I don’t care how many people watch it. It will never rise above the ranks of WWF or NASCAR. I don’t like it and am not impressed with the athletes. The only time its interesting is when you have a puncher and I already get that in boxing. Every wash out I know with a crooked nose is talking about MMA. When you can’t cut it in a real sport start pumping up obscure sports. I remember all the pussies that wilted during doubles in football. Two months later you’d see them in a bar wearing a rugby club jersey talking about rugby being the superior sport. Yeah right. MMA is no different. It’s for guys that couldn’t cut it in boxing and really, really enjoy the aroma of some dudes nut sack. MMA? No ing thank you.

Set the TIVO for Springer tomorrow. Arlovski to appear on Jerry Springer as a bouncer (I didn't know Springer was still on?)

Hooked on Phonics jokes, the ultimate crutch of an unfunny people during the mid-90s. Way to bring it back! You should also consider adding "Alrighty then" and "I've fallen and I can't get up" to your sig.
I would have guessed Pussyface due to the fixation on sexuality.
but it can get forrest by shogun, jardine by liddell, kongo by cro cop?
Nevada Boxer Dies After Fight In Southern California
http://www.mmanews.com/boxing/Nevada...alifornia.html
September 24, 2007
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Boxer Jackson Bussell of Reno, Nev., died a day after collapsing at the end of a six-round bout. He was 28.
Bussell died Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department said Monday. Police are investigating and an autopsy is planned.
Bussell was admitted to a hospital Thursday in grave condition after a fight in Calabasas sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission. He collapsed in the ring immediately after the bout, which ended in a draw with Javier Garcia.
Nope...can't see it happening...Rich can't knock him out or submit him. He'd have to hope for a decision...
Hamill's knee injury not as bad as expected...wants a rematch with Bisping on Dec 29th...

Hendo has one fight left on his UFC contract, wants to stay at LHW despite the UFC wanting him to move to MW. I'm surprised he was only signed for 2 fights...

HENDERSON: ONE FIGHT LEFT ON UFC CONTRACT
Former PRIDE Middleweight (under 205 lbs) Champion Dan Henderson confirmed today that has one fight remaining on his current contract with the UFC.
Henderson, who lost a le unification bout with UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson earlier this month, indicated he could be ready for a return to the Octagon by November. Though UFC officials are said to be encouraging the former Olympian to move down to the promotion’s 185-pound division, Henderson indicated he would like to remain at light heavyweight.
Henderson (22-6) defeated Wanderlei Silva for the PRIDE middleweight crown in February, becoming the first mixed martial artist in history to hold les in two weight classes simultaneously. He still holds the PRIDE welterweight (under 185 lbs) le and could conceivably square off with UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in a pay-per-view main event in the near future, provided Silva defeats Rich Franklin at UFC 77 in October.
Forrest vs Wanderlei not likely for UFC 79 because of the cut on Forrest's forehead...

Are you talking about Hendo or Silva?
that article was hilarious. "It’s for guys that couldn’t cut it in boxing and really, really enjoy the aroma of some dudes nut sack." Classic smack right there.
Nevertheless, I'm disappointed that Shogun lost. It makes me think MMA is about whoever lands the lucky punch or lucky choke.
Still, I can't help but watch in anticipation of someone losing their teeth or having their arm twisted off. As soon as they allow broken bottles and chains we'll really see the sport take off.
j/k
When you consider the FACT that most of the guys in the UFC have never attempted a boxing career, it's an ignorant point on his part actually. It's the same point that Floyd Mayweather tried to make...it's failed. As are the -type jokes...
Shogun lost because he wasn't in shape...he never had a chance with his cardio at that level. There's definitely no such thing as a "lucky choke"...certainly not Forrest choking Shogun. He got that choke due to total exhaustion...
Hendo
