They are the coaches of TUF season 6 and are fighting on the finale.
Besides, the UFC has so many fighters this is part of the problem until they can get PRIDE straightened out. So many fighters will have huge gaps in fights now.
That makes sense.
Excellent thread.
Note Cage Rage 22 will be free on www.proelite.com
SHOXC will be free
UFC 75 will possibly be free
WEC will be free
And of course all UFN nights are free. Plenty of opportunities for new people to check out what MMA is all about.
Also September 15th will be a EliteXC event but the details are sketchy right now. I will follow up with this.
Lots of good free MMA coming up...
Edited to remove Chuck vs Wand...wtf??

added for UFC 76:
Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia
Marcus Aurelio vs Clay Guida

Can somebody explain the rankings to me?
Why is Couture the #5 HW when he's the champ?
Why is Cro Cop ranked #3 and Gonzaga ranked #6 after Gonzaga knocked his ass out?
I don't get it.
No kidding I thought Quinton Jackson was the champ in the LHW why is he # 2?
Those rankings are from MMAWeekly and they're for worldwide MMA, not just the UFC. Many of the top Pride guys haven't fought since Dec/Jan, so they're somewhat left in limbo as far as rankings go. They're also based on the opinions of dozens of MMA "experts." There is no official ranking system...several sites do rankings. MMAWeekly is the most commonly referred to though...
When a nobody beats a guy that's been top 3 for years, he's not guaranteed to be ahead of that guy. It's based on your whole body of work, not just your last fight...
Randy Couture has had one recent fight at HW in the last few years...and his most recent HW fights before Sylvia (who sucks) didn't go too well. No way anybody can say he's the #1 HW in the world RIGHT NOW.
He's #2 behind Shogun, who is a Pride guy that should be making his UFC debut later this year. Shogun also destroyed Rampage like Rampage has never been destroyed (although Wanderlei Silva's 2 wins over him were pretty devastating too), so it'd be hard to rank him ahead of Shogun...
Rampage vs Shogun
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4t...uinton-rampage
Most "UFC fans" don't have a clue who Shogun is...
First off, those are not official rankings.Just one website.
The UFC is not the only MMA organization so rankings are very hard.
Couture just came out of retirement and previosuly fought at LHW. He has yet to defend his belt. How long you have had your belt and how many times you have defended it is a huge factor. Should Couture defend his belt against Gabriel he will probably be number 2. Fedor has held his belt for so long that he deserves his spot. But, should Randy win his next two and Fedor does not fight until 08 like rumor has it, I would argue Couture should be number 1 and Fedor 2 but that’s far down the road.
Same goes for Rampage, should he defend his first le fight against Dan Henderson (who holds two belts) he will be number one. I am assuming LEONARD got his ranking from mmaweekly.com who has Shogun number one, he would then go to #2.
These ranking will be a bit of a mess for a year while everything gets sorted from the PRIDE UFC merger.
LEONARD and I must have replied at the same moment...hah...
I won by 2 min's... :p
If Rampage beats Hendo, I have no issue with him at #1...especially since Shogun hasn't been himself his last few fights. I'm still waiting for pre-dislocated-elbow Shogun to show up...
You're right though, rankings are a mess at this point. Rankings are pointless for the most part anyway unless they're official and used to determine le shots...but that'll always be Uncle Dana's call IMO.
What do you think about my comment about Fedor being #2?
And by the way, Cro Cop is a MMA God who has fought 20 times more than Gabriel has. He has been around for quite some time and beaten the best. He simply for whatever reason throw out a clunker fight every 5 or so fights. Its just the way he is.
So thus the rankings...
Added:
-Luke mo vs TBA @ UFN 11
-Chuck Liddell vs Keith Jardine @ UFC 76
3 more wins from Randy and Fedor not doing much and I'd definitely be fine with Randy being #1.
Hopefully Randy beats Gonzaga and we get Randy vs Fedor for New Year's Eve, or early '08.

Chuck Liddell vs Keith Jardine @ UFC 76
I will wager $50, real cash, that fight does not happen.
I hope you're right!! I have ZERO interest in it...I'd rather see him fight somebody like Thiago Silva (Wand's CB teammate). An undefeated up and coming fighter that we need to see more of...plus the UFC loves storylines. Wand Silva fighting Chuck to get revenge for beating up his teammate...lol...
Chuck said he'd like to fight in Sept AND Oct...Dana needs a headliner for 76, which Chuck vs Jardine could be. Chuck would most likely get through that fight with no issues, then fight Silva in Nov...
It won't happen. No way. That guy is great and I respect what he does. He admits he is a rumor site but that guy throws so much sh-t against the wall....
I never check it anymore.
MMA is weak. I'd blast every one of those fools away before they could get a finger on me.
Fascinating.
so you pick shogun to beat machida?
what?
ufcjunkie?
