Holy crap…
I beat Justin into commenting on an article…
nice job nerd ! ! ! belchers in 4 an a$$ whooping
wheres the comment ?
lol, I guess I am kinda bad about stalking the site and getting first comments…its not like that’s my goal, it just kinda happens. I take Thavares over Manvil the Anvil…shaping up to be two good cards.
Its right there, nerd.
Let’s not go and make predictions on the strength of some ones international record. We’ve all seen it before. A highly touted international “superstar” coming into the UFC only to get his head kicked 6 rows deep. I like Kang, but history shows us that your rep don’t mean sh1t in the UFC.
your rep and fight history dont mean much of anything the moment you step into the cage and the door closes….
anyone can get caught…
Great cards…so stoked
lets see if kang lives up to his hype of his debut in the ufc
I agree al, I would rather see rua lose by dq, with an old school heel smash, like when he fought the snake. Jk, let’s see him dominate and get back into contention
rua is going to crush the most un classy steroid muscle head in fight hisory and i like manvil. i like kang alot it dont mean im hyping him up.the guys got the talent to do big things but sometimes the mind gets in the way.
I would like to see Rua get back on track, he was so highly touted coming to the UFC, lost to Forrest, and then had the knee injury. 1. I’d like to see him come back from the injury. 2. I’d like to see another former Pride guy doing well.
Al,
People do say stoked, quite a bit actually.
Sweet… Another short bus inhabitant throwing “gay” around.
Al, the only reason I read your posts is morbid curiosity.
Wow Al, apparently you don’t watch any “action sports” like skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, freestyle bmx, freestyle MX, or anything similar…. because if you did you would know people use stoked.
Also, what is this business about “no black guys” its not the UFCs fault that there are “no black guys” good enough at MMA to have one on every one of their cards.
BTW, Jon Jones is black so don’t be a troll.
Al said:
again a card with no black guys ……….nice.

Nice to meet you Sharpton. I thought I smelled processed hair when I showed up here.
@ Al, you suddenly strike me as someone who’s “gay”…so you know how it is, sitting around with your “gay” friends saying “gay” words like “stoked” and “ballsacs” (with a “c” mind you)…I got news for you, you’re not the first one that has commented on how I speak. So you’re just a follower and a member of the band.
Next time come up with something thoughtful and clever or something with substance if you want to slam someone. Also, let’s use that public education and try some proper sentence structure, spelling, maybe even punctuation.
Refer to dbiz or bsbiz if you want to learn the funny. Otherwise you’re just being a douche bag.
And, once again gentlemen and ladies (if there are any) let’s try, please try to use our big boy words. You know, something beyond the 4th or 5th grade.
He’s been blacklisted lol
dbiz, now THAT’s clever…how’s that for shrubbery
What an amusing day.
So, I’m at work…kind of, and I over heard some instruction they sounded very familiar. It was an attempt to re-create Fedor’s video…Obviously this cat doesn’t know what the F**k he’s talking about. Someone is bound to get hurt.
I can only hope I will be here when it happens.
Kris, my apologies for saying “stoked”. I didn’t realize it was such a contraversial word.
Maybe next time I’ll say,,, “great card, so flamboyant”
Flamboyant?
I come to an MMA website and a Liberace concert breaks out? Sheesh…
Although compared to stoked, I guess flamboyant is better. hahahaha…
for the record shogun had a bad knee when he fought forrest and becuz he didnt want to let down his fans and the natzi leader dana, he fought and if you watch the fight he try to end it quick but couldnt and was held back by it.
in a rematch and a healthy shogun there will be a a$$ whooping to forrest i get free wins griffen.
shogun has not dropped off hes just rehabbing so please stop with the comeback hes been here for years boooooyyy
con,
re: “in a rematch and a healthy shogun there will be a a$$ whooping to forrest i get free wins griffen(sic).”
He has to fight his way back to a fight with Griffin in the first place. And free wins…not even worth responding to.
re: “shogun has not dropped off hes just rehabbing so please stop with the comeback hes been here for years boooooyyy”
1. don’t call me “boooooyyy” or even “boy” for that matter.
2. Yes he’s a good fighter, yes he’s proved himself, but his last fight was a loss, and he hasn’t fought in over a year due to injury. Therefore, he is looking to “come back” from a loss and “come back” from an injury…so therefore, he’s making a “comeback”.
3. I’m on your side, I think he’s a good fighter, and will win, and want him to win…why do you want to pick a fight over him?
“natzi” is spelled Nazi.
I knew I was forgetting something,
4. No one said Shogun had dropped off, just that he lost his UFC debut and got injured, if saying that means saying he dropped off. I suppose you said he dropped off as well.
yea shogun in top form is
- as good as it gets
- not to take anything away from forrest cause that was a great fight in spite of the knee injury.
i’m wondering why coleman at his age and level of ring rust - maybe that’s it : for the ring rust cup.
i don’t mean disrespect to either. but i don’t see why, other than the rematch of the WHAT WEIGHT WILL THEY FIGHT AT.
I GUESS COLEMAN TILL HAS A CHANCE IF CHEWS ON SHOGUNS ANKLE LONG ENOUGH HE COULD EVENTUALLY PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE A LOT - BUT I’M TAKING THIS AS A WAY TO GET SHOGUN BACK SAFELY WITHOUT FACING AN UP AND COMER…… if he wins a couple he’l be back on the P4P lists
it was a ll cool jay quote for one ,so it wasnt at you and im talking to everybody whos been saying shogun making a comeback so if it aint you dont worry.
and yea in my oppinion forest lost the first fight between him and bonner and didnt win the belt from rampage. thats my oppinion so damn america for letting me have one.
i dont pic fight s on the net just give my view bro.
i dont use a key board to well and dont check my spelling plus my speling is off any way but im not a big user of the word nazi so my bad
Damn, I didn’t get to read what Al wrote before Surfingk5 went to town on the poor boy! These cards are looking really good and going to be a wealthy PPV month for UFC.
Hey Kris i have read off of MMAJUNKIE that Jim Miller has replaced Frankie Edgar on the December 10th card for the UFC. So it will be Matt Wiman Vs. Jim Miller
Thanks Kyle, I’ll be posting the news shortly.
I have never really seen Kang fight but i like Belcher, he trains down where i am from in boloxi. But after watchin his last fight wit herman( which i believe herman won) he is in for a butt whoopin…
Gonna be a good card,really cant say who will win between Hendo and Ace but definitely see GSP taking it to the Prodigy.As far as Kang n Belcher Kang is gonna run thru em.And Shogun in good health is a threat to any 205er.I was really pissed when I found out he fought wutz hiz face when he already had a knee injury.Ya I know they all fight thru injuries but sux not facing Forrest”Jardine made me cry n run out the ring like a girl”Griffin at full strength.As long as his knee is truly rehabbed he could be the future belt holder at lightheavy.Of course he would eventually have to face my boy the Ax Murderer cuz sooner or later he’s gonna beat somebody up and take their belt!!!!! Fedor #1P4P!!!!!
