Right on slayer, I just thought you were trashing on his skills. I see now you are basing it on his record (which doesn’t match his skills) I still think he would tap Swick out, and I think it would be an insult to put him in there with Leben (though I was impressed with the change Leben underwent before his last bout, he looks much better than he used to)

scotchydow, we may not agree on Lytle, but I knew we’d find common ground somewhere.

I am with Vamp here. I think the only reason the UFC is acnowledging the PRIDE light heavy, and middlweight titles is pomotional value twords Henserson. PRIDE is dead, as much as it sucks it;s true. I also agree about “Kimbo” Slice. The guy throws bombs, but get him in there with a true MMA fighter (compareable in size) he will loose. I think Antonio Silva would trash him.

Fedor v Couture could still happen in 2008 (not in the UFC of course). That would determine the #1 HW. Dana won’t strip Emelianenko because he will no longer acknowledge him.

Kimbo is to MMA what Butterbean was to boxing. I think he’ll do great against MMA guys that just do stand-up. Get him on his back though and I’ll bet he resembles Kongo a few fights ago.

He’ll do really well at Elite-XC and may even win their belt, he just doesn’t belong in the same sentence right now as Fedor though, in my opinion.

really could care less about titles. fedor isn’t even one of my fav fighters but untill someone beats him i still think he’s the man. i don’t easily forget the guys he’s fought and beat. yes… there are guys he has not beat like couture, sylvia, gonzaga, arlovski. but there are guys couture has not beat also like fedor, big nog, crocop.

good point but that title should no longer belong to him cuz it was property of PRIDE and now PRIDE and everything that is pride besides the fighters all belong to Dana and the Fertitta’s…dont be to surprised to see him stripped of that title

fedor would destroy kimbo slice. to even think he has a chance against fedor is crazy. fedor beat mark hunt not to long ago. mark hunt has better stand up and just as much power as kimbo. quick sub for fedor over kimbo slice. not every champ has lost: fedor emelianenko.

The post fight comments backstage by Diaz were something along the lines of:

“I’ll f***ing beat the **** out of Noons…”

I could definitely do without the dancing girls and Goldberg is just the worst at doing interviews. You can tell he’s not evening listening to the fighters, but to the producer telling him in his earpiece to get to the clip. I actually hope they keep him since he’s so funny to laugh at.

Every Elite XC event seems to have a problem. The first event I watched, Frank Shamrock got DQ’d for throwing rabbit punches. The 2nd one was in a stadium that seated 100,000 people and maybe 10,000 showed up (many of them receiving free tickets). Now this one where we get 2 stoppages due to cuts and the co-main event ends in 19 seconds.

Despite the setbacks, I still think more MMA is more gooder.
