No way o beats Liddell. It will be a 1st round KO.
Never say never...I'm being hopeful of course, but I think o is being counted out more than he should. And he's a tempting pick with those odds...
and some Crocop news...
http://www.vecernji-list.hr/home/index.do
Hmmmmmm...so either Crocop is coming to the UFC, or Dana gave him a sweatshirt and he cares so little about it that he wears it into poor neighborhoods while he does community service...
Should we expect an announcement at 66 this weekend??? I hope so...
The weigh-in is on e TV on Friday night...between Unleashed and UFC All-Access with Chuck Liddell.
Cro-Cop in the UFC... my little heart is all aflutter. In anticipation of seeing him beat the stuffing out of Tim Sylvia, that is.
My picks:
Liddell
Griffin (by decision, after they beat the crap out of each other for three rounds)
Bisping
Leben
Okami
Alves
AA (of course)
Perosh
Marrero (just a hunch about that one)
Crocop WILL be there on Saturday and has signed with the UFC...

Run Timmy!! Run while you can!!! haahahahahahahahahaha

Forrest
Bisping
Okami
MacDonald

AA
Perosh
My picks in bold.

Andrei Arlvoski vs. Marcio Cruz
Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine

Eric Schafer vs. Michael Bisping
Yushin Okami vs. Rory Singer
Tony DeSouza vs. Thiago Alves

Looks like the UFC will be announcing the signing of Heath Herring too!
UFC has been making some huge moves lately!
Main card preview...

Dana White audio from prior UFN 8...
http://ocregister.com/ocregister/spo...le_1381274.php
Rampage, Herring, Salaverry, Faber, and Rob McCullough have been signed. (Dana said that Rampage was the centerpiece of course)
They haven't made huge announcements about any of them yet...Rampage was casually mentioned on Inside the UFC last week...
I didn't think Herring was official yet. I am stoked about Ivan Salaverry's return to the UFC. He will definatley be making waves in his division.
Dana White mentioned him as being "part of the deal" with the other guys...they just haven't made a big deal of it yet... (were you able to listen to audio in the link above?)
Herring announced here today...
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...articleid=3183
That's what I was referring to earlier today. I just listened to that link. Thanks. Looks like the UFC is getting very aggresive with expanding their organization.
Ah, gotcha...
Rampage and Randy Couture were both on Beatdown Radio...Rampage is nuts...he cracks me up...
http://www.sherdog.com/news/radio.asp?id=116
I think once he gets a couple of years on him, Faber is going to be big in the UFC.

Pre-fight Liddell - Ortiz:

Lots of pre-fight videos are up....weigh-ins are live on e tonight...
Do you think size will be an issue? He's naturally smaller than most lws. I can't wait to see him fight!
Holy !
UFC is making noise. Real noise. More entertainment for me. I am absolutely exstatic to see the likes of Rampage, CroCop et al compete (and possibly dominate) the paper television tigers.
I love watching Griffin fight, dont get me wrong theyre highly entertaining, but theyre not exactly...technical or the best display of MMA fighting ability.
I am anxious to see Forrest fight. I think many people underestimate him, which kind of surprises me after his performance against o. He trained in Athens, GA to get where he is, but he progressed and now trains in Las Vegas. Due to his switching camps and being surrounded and training with a much larger pool of MMA talent, you will see Forrest improve and be a force in his division.
damn i was gonna buy the fight but last night my buddy gave me free low level tix to tonights mavs game. i wasnt gonna miss that. i guess i got to watch the gay ass limewire version...
just one hour away....
