Shamrock thought he was having a heart attack. he asked his corner to throw in the towel.

You got the Takada/Coleman fight... I thought Frye/Yoshida had a bad smell to it.
nah Yoshida is underrated. he took Wanderlei to a Split Decision.

Yea, I don't buy it. I mean thats possible, but so is the fight being rigged and that is just a lameass excuse. If he really thought he was having a heart attack you think after the fight he would have immediatly went to the hospital, or have the doctors check on him instead of congradulating Fujita for what seemed like 10 mintutes.

i buy it. the fight looked legit from start to finish. ken gassed real fast. he was getting pushed around in the corners towards the end.

edit: let's not forget, Ken's juicing up could have played a significant factor.

I didn't see the fight, so I can't really comment it. I was hoping Franklin would pull it out because I like him better, and because that was his last fight on his UFC contract, and if he won that pretty much meant a guranteed extension.
Silva/Franklin2 I like both of them, but Silva's probably the best middleweight in the world right now

About Fedor having an open contract. It kinda makes you wonder about what Couture real motives were for retiring. It couldn't have been money. I read he had like a 15 million dollar deal with UFC. He was the 2nd highest paid fighter in UFC, and now that its been revealed Fedor has an open contract, he coulda fight Fedor. Very strange.
Weird. I thought he left to fight Fedor. I must know the whole story. I don't think Randy'd run from a fight.

Yeah, appears he just gassed... He was dominating the fight until that point.

Ah thanks. I thought the match was this Saturday, so this is the first UFC thing I've missed in like almost a year. 🙂

No, I mean, maybe it was fixed, maybe it wasn;t, but I'm always going to have my suspicions about that fight. I doubt the juicing had anything to do with it, it would be one thing if Ken's body wasnt use to it, and that was the first time he juiced, but he's been roided up since UFC 2.

i knew Akiyama was a good fighter, but not enough to knockout Denis Kang in ROUND 1

2007 = TOO MANY UPSETS

and im calling it now, 2008 will be have much more upsets.

mma is unpredictable. too many ways of winning.

God I hope not.

Spoiler:
Serra's team is just dominating!

Hughes is going to be pissed all next episode.

UFC 78
Main Card
Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans
Thiago Silva vs. Houston Alexander
Joe Doerksen vs. Ed Herman
Ryo Chonan vs. Karo Parisyan
Frank Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher

Undercard
Chris Lytle vs. Thiago Alves
Jason Reinhardt vs. Joe Lauzon
Luke Caudillo vs. Marcus Aurelio

What'cha think?

I see Rashad & Houston winning. I want Chonan to win but I'm not sure he's still that good.

You're welcome. Brock Lesnar has been signed to UFC. Human Weapon is going to be focusing on Sambo(used in MMA by greats like Fedor & Arlovski) this Fri on the History channel. Kimbo Slice makes his EliteXC debut on Sat. on Showtime.

AND BROCK LESNAR GOES FOR THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTOP OF THE OCTAGON, wait.....what this.....HE JUST GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE FOR REAL AND HIS UFC CAREER IS OVER FASTER THAN HIS NFL DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

😆 He's a former great amateur wrestler & he's got 1 MMA fight under his belt. I'd like to see him do well

Sokoudjou vs Machida @ UFC 79

it's not confirmed, but it's in the works.

should be an epic fight. Both are underrated top contenders who have the potential to be LHW champions in the near future. i gurantee these two will face again after their bout in 79.

Does anyone know what Franklin is going to do, is he going to resign with UFC, retire, fight for another orginazation?

right now there are no answers. UFC has a horrible MW division. i'd like to see Marquardt vs Franklin.

I'd like to see a Machida/Franklin rematch...
