UFC 73 - Stacked....

The title of the card says it all....

Anderson Silva - Nate Marquardt
Tito Ortiz - Rashad Evans
Sean Sherk - Hermes Franca

Plus Steffan Bonner, Kenny Florian, and Frankie Edgar....

That one is only about an hours drive from home but I'll bet it would be better on tv. Not sure what to do yet. Would like to see it in person as it's a pretty good ticket.

On Ultimate Fight Night?

Speaking of Kimbo, I read that he has begun training for MMA out of Randy Couture's camp. So we may see him fighting some of the big super heavyweights soon.

Yep, he was against Ray Mercer. He won.
 
I assume you guys watched the UF5 Finale ...

Diaz won the contract, as Gamburyan dislocated his shoulder trying to shoot on Diaz. Penn submitted Pulver. Best fight was Gray Maynard knocking himself out while slamming the shit out of Emerson. I was pissed.

If Gamburyan hadn't dislocated his shoulder he would have won the contract. I think he would have ended up knocking Diaz out...

Yes, Gamburyan was looking the dominant fighter and won the first round pretty easilly. Shame it ended like it did, I would have liked to see the smarmy faced Diaz get knocked out!

The Penn / Pulver fight was good too. BJ looked class at 155, god knows why he is looking to go back up to 170, he could dominate the 155 like Hughes did the 170.

BJ knows there is more money to be made in the Welterweight Division. Fights against Hughes, GSP, Sanchez, or Koschek will get him bigger PPV bonuses than fighting someone like Sherk...
 
Anyone throw out a good link? All the torrent sites that have are locked to me. Mainly the Ortiz fight ... NO SPOILERS!!!
 
I don't think Gonzaga has what it takes to beat Couture. Couture will retain the title. Nothing was proven by the CroCop fight. It was just a damn fine kick that won it. GSP to win by KO and Huerta to submit Cane. Don't really care about the other fights, but it's a kickass card.

I agree the Gonzaga-CroCop fight only proved that CroCop is still susceptible to a quick knock out, just like it was proven when Randleman KO'd him with one punch.
