jtval 0 #1 October 6, 2007 Who's your pick? Franklin V Anderson Silva Sylvia V Verra McDonald V Okami Bonnar V Schaffer I think Silva will Still be champ. Rich is a great fighter but whatever happened in his 1st fight with the spider was strange. Maybe he was hurt and fought anyway...I would like to see him actually fight this time but I think Ace will lose again. I think Sylvia walks away with a win. Purely based on his size. I really dislike him but 6'8" is hard to handle. I don't think we're going to see another Couture-styled beating. McDonald Wins. I wouldnt bet money but I've only seen a few fights from each and I remember more of Mcdonald. So based solely on that I think McDonald wins. Okami has fought some bigger names in the UFC so He may be seasoned to go the whole distance more-so than Mcdonald. Bonnar V Schaffer....I haven't seen Bonnar in a long time. I think I saw Schaffer once. Bonnar was too comfortable in the shadows of Griffin, though. I'd like to see a good fight. I'll have to wait until sunday to watch though, and it'll drive me nuts.

Ed Herman, Chris Leben, Rich Franklin??? Okami? Fought Franklin and Swick and Singer....I think that MacDonald has fought more of the Cream of the Crop of that Division. Vera is going to take Sylvia Out....He is probably the next champion of the HW division. Franklin and Silva is going to be a good fight. I think Franklin under estimated Silva the first time, but will come prepared this time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don'tknow much of Okami but I can swear I remember hearing him getting props as underrated by Rogan. I've never seen him win Quote Vera is going to take Sylvia Out....He is probably the next champion of the HW division. man, I hope you're right. I don't like Sylvia. He's a big guy who IMO is lucky alot. (No, I don't wanna try to take him out.) Quote Franklin and Silva is going to be a good fight. I think Franklin under estimated Silva the first time, but will come prepared this time. Yea, I don't know wtf Franklin was doing. It was the same time that hughes lost to GSP. They both walked in the ring and stood there until they woke up on the floor. I AM THRILLED that Serra's team won 2 in a row against Hughes..My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murrays 0 #5 October 18, 2007 I think Silva will beat Franklin again but I think Franklin will make it a lot harder this time.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #6 October 18, 2007 ME too. Silva's Mui thai clinch is fucking dangerous. I'd bet Rich trained his ass off to get the fuck away from it. (I may have spelled MUI incorrectly)My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #7 October 22, 2007 SPOILERS BELOW:: Maybe I missed it but did Okami and Mcdonald fight? After a sad turn of events Franklin will no longer go by the moniker "ACE" it will be "Spiders bitch." It was sad to see Rich get beaten so badly, again. In the first fight he was getting over a broken ankle and hand. this time he said he was 100% and was beaten pretty badly in front of his home audience. Spider is a great sportsman, though. (So is Rich, Duh) I know why I don't like Sylvia. His foghts are boring. That dude is 6'8" and he just lays there pushing Vera against the fence. in the last 2 minutes of the fight he started getting excited/exciting, but I was already day dreaming about airplanes and skydiving. This event didn't have me on the edge of mey seat like the last two(or was it 3) but I didnt expect to be. Thats why I didn't stay home and watch it live. Did I miss anything?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjunken 0 #8 October 22, 2007 The Vera fight was a joke. I don't think that I've more pissed. It was so boring. UFC 76 was a lot better. The Franklin fight was ok but didn't last very long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #9 October 22, 2007 Yea. this card wasn't packed with crazy fights. Actually I'm kinda glad. It was getting expensive. Every once in a while I need to stop buying the damn show. This was that time. I think the hughes serra fight will be a good one. I don't wanna say it but I think Hughes will win. I'd like to see serra win. Hughes is getting his ego challenged in the series. I doubt it will effect his fighting but he's turned out to be a pompous dbag.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #10 October 23, 2007 I have to say that I think Matt Serra will lose to Hughes. I like Matt but think he got lucky against GSP. I don't think he'll get lucky twice in a row. Tim Sylvia. Unless he is pressed, he is boring to watch.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinagirl 0 #11 October 23, 2007 You know I was beginning to like Serra but after a couple of episode, you come to realize he is as much a pompous ass as Hugh. So...I'm still not sure who I want to see win. It's good just to see them beat the shit out of each other!!! As for UFC 77...it definitely was not as good as the last 3. It was sad to see Franklin lose but you can't deny that Anderson Silva is hella good. Every fight he has been in has been awesome to watch. He uses so many different techniques when he fights. As boring as Tim Silvia was...I'm glad he beat Vera. Couldn't stand that pussy!! And no Okami & MacDonald fight...which sucked because I was looking forward to it.~Built for Abuse www.skydivethefarm.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #12 October 23, 2007 Bonnar. I know theres alot of fans of his, I don't dis like him. But where has he been? I've heard rumors but I couldn't find any facts. He had trouble in the first round but came back strong to win.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinagirl 0 #13 October 23, 2007 Bonnar and Shafer was a good fight...I thought Bonnar was going to lose on the first round but he had a good comeback. Turns out, Okami & MacDonald did fight. It just didn't air. WTF!?!?! I would of rather watched that then the other two. Okami won....~Built for Abuse www.skydivethefarm.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #15 October 23, 2007 Thats the rumor I heard but why isn't there any report on that? ( I'm sure its because it would fuck up the reputation of the UFC)My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyD 0 #16 October 23, 2007 QuoteThats the rumor I heard but why isn't there any report on that? ( I'm sure its because it would fuck up the reputation of the UFC) No cover up. He popped. So have a couple others recently. They will also be suspended. All the UFC shows are sponsored by the state athletic commissions - just the same as boxing. The pre-fight urinalysis tests are administered the same and the suspensions for positive tests are handed out in the same manner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
