Wow I forgot about that TKD kick that Salmon tryed in the first. That was a hilarious attempt that only missed Rashad by 6 feet. Maybe 7.

I’ld never forget Manny’s quote during the TUF series..”I’m hungry”, dude is a monster, never gets fed enough.

#14, the karate kid-kick, was one in a million, and an unforgettable UFC moment.

I will always remember Salmon different from how everyone else remembers him. Everyone remembers him as the one who got knocked the f*** out by Rashad….I will always remember the the first strike of his during that fight. The goofy kick that he did….and Joe Rogan was making fun of him too. I swear I rewound it a million times laughing my ass off.

For fans of the TUF alumni- Sammy Morgan (competitor from season 2 on Matt Hughes’ team) will be fighting Ti legend Chung Le in the Strikeforce event on November 16th. Bobby Southworth from Chris Leben’s tireade fame will also appear on the card. Non-TUF but UFC punching bag and fallguy Sean Salmon will face Denis Hallman on that night as well.

nate diaz would have finished off manny, he got lucky when his shoulder popped out it was a legitimate way for him to lose the fight he would have loss anyways

Thanks for the heads up since you gave me the tip to pursue it. I think a Henderson-Silva title fight is likely what we will see next as it’s the only fight that makes much sense without them bringing in outside talent or moving Filho from the WEC. He has to sign a new contract first which could drag it out.

Right now Lightweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight are all available for early 2008. I think we’ll probably only see one title on the line at each PPV event for a while after they got burnt on UFC 72 and UFC 78. Welterweight probably won’t happen until after hockey season so they can have GSP’s title fight in Montreal.

Great work Kris on breaking the story.

The Hughes/Serra card may be the best card of the year and I heard when I was out in Vegas, that Dan Henderson might fight Anderson Silva for the title, but that was from some meathead wearing a Sean Sherk Affliction shirt at the Voodoo lounge at the Rio t.

Not a reliable source.
