kool cant wait 4 da fights is the tvu player going to play this live??
It should have Eltz, yeah. The only way they may not is if they show the Mayweather-Hatton fight which I will also be checking out.
Also to those who haven’t noticed we have launched a few new features here on UFC Daily. The first is our brand new forum. accessible at http://mmafrenzy.com/forum.
We have also launched the “MMA Newswire” which resides in the right sidebar. It is going to have the latest news stories from the entire MMA world and is the place to check for “breaking” news.
i know i think it is going 2 having the boxing match which will be a good one thanx kris
OFF the subject but I hope Hatton beats the **** out of Mayweatyher Jr. Jr. is a pompous prick.
????What is TVU????
I’m at a hotel that doesn’t carry SPIKE. does anybody know if i can stream it online?
Search Google for TVU Player. It’s a program for your computer to watch streaming shows and events (including sports).
I am rooting for Hatton as well but it has the makings of a good fight, I just hope it delivers.
Search google for TVU. There’s a channel called “MMA-TV” that may have it. It’s not on TV until 9 though.
i like mayweather jr even if he is a prick its going to be a awsome fight lol well back 2 mma
oh and it looks like goulet won im perfect thus far lol
Yeah Goulet won by sub in round 1.
I’d much rather see a good fight no matter the winner. I am very slightly for Hatton since he’s the underdog but there’s really no reason I’m rooting for him other than that.
Also for those who didn’t notice (it’s posted in the MMA Newswire) Sean Sherk has reportedly been stripped of the lightweight title.
Another one-rounder. Roman beats Price in just 23-seconds. Too bad we didn’t get to see him compete on the show but this fight could definitely be squeezed in tonight.
damn roman won i dont like the guy 4 some reason good fighter but he reminds me of manny and i wasnt a big fan of manny because manny was always winning on the show lol and was beating all the good fighters
now im 1-1
It’s hard to say if I like him as a fighter or not but he sure seems to have a heart for the sport which is always great to see.
I got no side bar, but I am happy about the decision to strip Sherk. It’s the only way for the UFC to stay reputable. You know Dana will give him a QUICK title shot though.
im 2-1 now with matty boy winning
Why was Sherk stripped of the title? I obviously am not doing my part on “keeping up”. lol
Not sure how up to date you are but he tested positive for steroids after UFC 73 and was suspended for one year. That was reduced to 6-months this week (he can fight in January) but the positive test is why they stripped him of the title though he will likely fight the Penn-Stevenson winner in Spring-2008.
hey kris can u help me find a tvu or sopcast channel of the fianle live because in hawaii we dont get it live and i would like 2 watch it live lol
It should be on MMA-TV on TVU but the event won’t start for 30 more minutes.
but the boxing match is on that channel 4 some reason ill check again but
well im 2-2 now and the finale is starting soon and i cant watch it live nooooooooooo lol
I’ll check it out as well…
so what happened to the Serra/Hughes match? Thats about all I wanted to see…wasnt it supposed to be the main fight tonight?
Yeah it appears they’re not showing tonights event and are showing the boxing match instead.
Soup Bones – Before the show started it was rumored that they would fight on the finale but they’ve always promoted it as happening in Dec. at UFC 79 until Serra got hurt and had to pull out.
damn i gues i have 2 wait now this blows thanx kris
No problem. Try it every 15 or so and see if they switch to it but it hasn’t started on there last I checked.
people are talking about there watching it but i cant see it
well im 3-2 now
damnn i want 2 watch this live but oh well im 4-2 now
Decent fights so far on TV. Saunders won his pretty handily (though it was a decent fight) and Sotiropoulos looked dominant as most expected.
lets go J-ROCK
whos winning rllins fight?
Hasn’t started yet (it’s just coming up now). They threw in the Mandaloniz win before it started. I’m hoping they show Roman’s win as well but we’ll see.
ioh i had a feeling they where going 2 throw a prelim
For those not watching Dana is going to make two major announcements: one tonight and one tomorrow. Tomorrow is likely to be the Forrest-Rampage announcement so tonights is up for grabs.
so he is going 2 announce the tuf coaches towmorrow then??
damn i cant beilive it damn jrock loss
Yeah but you can’t complain about a loss like that. That was one hell of a fight.
WARMACHINE!!!!! Fight of the night. Anything I have ever said about HEART applies here! What a fight! FIGHT OF THE NIGHT,AND POSSIBLE FIGHT OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE!
yeah but everyone knows if u lose in the finale u dont comeback 2 the ufc the only loser that comes back is the person who loss 2 the winner of the season
Yeah from what I’m hearing the TUF coaches will likely be announced tomorrow night but since tonight’s announcement hasn’t been made yet it’s hard to say for sure.
nooooooooooo J-ROCK LOL
It’ll be hard to top that fight on this card Scotchy and it could certainly be in the running for FOTY.
Eltz, while that holds true a lot of times I think several of tonights fighters who lost will be back at least once more especially Rollins. Rogan said he expects to see him back in the octagon again.
WAR MACHINE is a beast… i am thrilled by that fight
I really want to see Roman’s fight. Can’t the UFC spare us one minute haha.
yeah well i cant see the fight but when i get 2 watch it in about in hour it sounds good because u guys are all thrilled of the fight it sounds like a awsome fight
brains before brawn.. something must be true abou that
Are all of the live Spike events delayed in Hawaii? Seems a bit ridiculous to me but I was just curious.
I am really surprised that Mac tapped Tommy, but not even close to surprised about the win. I am kind of bummed that they put Mac on the show. He was a shoe-in to win, but still a bad man.
yeah all of them are which sucks and damn speer lost but not surprised my pick was speer but i knew mac would win he is a one bad dude lol i knew i should of picked him in my ufc fantasy league
I just heard they are delayed in Washington state too.
They are now showing Arroyo-Kolosci (not Roman’s fight unfortunately) before the main event gets underway. I am assuming they will be making their announcement about UFC 80’s title situation before the main event.
damn i was in washington 2 couple of days ago if i was still there i would still get a delay
wow..i am taking nothing away from guida he put up a wicked fight. his standup has come along way. i am really pleased with huerta crane wasnt anything compared to guida. roger showed he has a chin once again and he can EXCHANGE!!!
That was a hell of a fight as well. Very, very good event and some good quick fights and longer wars. Plus 7-fights for free is always great.
wow sounded good hureta proved 2 me he can fight vets in the ufc well it my time to watch the fights lol
good card 2nite
peace
I feel totally redeamed for paying for the last event. What a great night of fights! Very impressed with both Huerta and Guida. Warmachine and J-Rock still get FOTN though!
i agree scotchy i paid $10 bucks to watch bisping vs. evans (1 fight only i got there late) at a sleazy bar in hawaii and i was choked. this event totally makes up for that and the previous couple events. nothing better than a fight night with guys who got something to prove. you can really tell when a card is full of guys who are giving it their all.
Total revamp of the show? It’s cool their bringing Forrest back, and I’m glad I’m a gamer, so I’ll be watching the VGA’s anyway’s. So is the other coach…..Rampage? Rashad? ……Randy Couture???? There have been rumors about trying to get a Couture/Jackson fight going????
It’s Rampage. They didn’t confirm it in words but they said he will be fighting the other coach and they called him the number one light heavyweight contender so if you can add 1+1 we all know what’s going to be announced tomorrow.
i realized that the past 2 finales for season 5 and 6 and alot of fights that didnt go to the judges great card 2nite
Jackson vs Forrest. If Jackson defeats him and Wanderlei can beat Liddell it’ll set up Jackson for Wanderlei later in 2008.
Ben vs Dan – really impressed with Ben and the way he used his legs. Fight was more entertaining than I thought.
Georges vs Billy – Georges is back and was on an entirely different level than Billy. He could be one of those fighters that doesn’t win the whole thing but makes a splash in a few years.
John vs Jared – WOW. What a great fight. Those were the nastiest elbows I can remember seeing from the ground. I give War Machine his props, I didn’t care for him much on the show, but my opinion of both of these fighters changed in under 15 minutes last night. Great job by both and I look forward to seeing them again. Good thing they had a delay for John’s post fight interview, although I did hear an f-bomb sneak through.
Mac vs Tommy – I knew when I looked at the weigh-ins the other day and saw Mac at 168.5 that he would win. Tommy had to cut a lot of weight and with Mac fighting at his “walk-around weight” that it would be an advantage. He saw a weakness, devised a gameplan, executed it perfectly and won in quick fashion. Mac at 155 will be interesting but I really would have liked to see him challenge at 170. I don’t know that Tommy or George will challenge at 170 but I thought that Mac could. I guess we’ll see.
Roger vs Clay – Clay is one of those guys I put on my radar when I first saw him fight and he did nothing to make me change my mind about him. He always entertains, throws caution to the wind, eats punches and punishes opponents. Roger was smart to come out the way he did in the 3rd and take care of business because he lost those first 2 rounds (IMO). Full props to him and that put him in my top 5 in the UFC Lightweight division. I’d really like to see him face Joe Lauzon next in a match of undefeated (in the UFC) contenders or take on Kenny Florian. Guida, I just want to see him fight again. I don’t care if he never wins a a belt in the UFC, I just like what he brings to every fight and I think the UFC and its fans do too.
The Announcement – it was a little anti-climatic when Dana didn’t announce it in the ring. I guess on a PPV you can make the announcements whenever you want because you don’t need to keep the audience tuned. On Spike, they want ratings, so they waited until the end to make the announcement (after the crowd had dispersed). Forrest vs Jackson in TUF 7 and then for the title. If Jackson wins and Wanderlei can beat Chuck, it’ll set up Jackson vs Wanderlei later in 2008. I can’t wait!
Final Thoughts – Great fights, a lot of passion in the ring and a few good personalities for the UFC to draw upon (who doesn’t like to hear what Mac has to say in an interview?). I was a little disappointed that while they called Big John the best in the business, they didn’t recognize that it was his last fight. Oh well, thanks Big John.
