    Gun, I actually agree on most the KenFlo v Joe Daddy I haven’t quite pickd the winner of that one just yet, the Brock v Randy fight well is interesting too I just find it irratating that it has been over a year since we have seen Randy fight and after all his drama he is fighting back in the UFC and for ZUFFA apawn who he said he didn’t want to fight for anymore

  • RLT says:

    Does anybody know about this Fight Club pre-sale. If I sign up now for the fight club, will I still be able to buy tickets tomorrow, or does it take time to get your account set up?

  • Dietrich says:

    Good Question RLT…Anybody know?

  • JustJoe says:

    Rampage is going to shock the mma word. I’m telling you guys he’s gonna beat Wand finally!

  • Justin says:

    Lesnar – too strong
    Jackson – Silva won the last two, but now no knees/kicks to downed opponents will change the fight.
    Florian v Stevenson….tough tough call.
    Hazelett – better resume
    Sadollah – he’ll find a way to win.
    Gonzaga – has the ability to be dominant…if he gets challenged I question his heart though.
    Stephens

  • FR702 says:

    Jackson v Wanderlei depends on which Wanderlei shows up imo, the one that did the jumping knee into Rampages face and then knock him out cold hanging thru the ropes (one of the best MMA pics/highlight ko ever), or a timid Wanderlei ie first round v Chuck Liddell

    If Rampage wins it will be by decision…

  • FR702 says:

    Randy~ even tho I think that Brock could pull it out I will go with Couture

    Wanderlei~ this is an awesome fight to see in the cage their first two battles were classic

    Kenny v Joe~ still have yet to decide

    Hazelett~ probably by decision

    Amir~ don’t doubt him he is humble with his talent

    GG~ I doubt his heart too but he should win

    Stephens~ could go either way yet I will take Stephens by UD

  • The Gunslinger says:

    ya so i was just wondering got a fight coming up what are some good songs to come out to …im probably gonna come out to my normal music-(demon hunter, nas, matisyahu, pillar, disciple or stevie ray vaughan)..but what would you guys come out to if you where fighting

  • JOHNBOY says:

    rampage is guna beat silva bad i dont see it going past the 1st, lesnar is guna tko randy 1st round an kenny is guna skool joe daddy im thinking 2nd round tko, very excited amir is fighting but i dont see him winning this, all my confidence is gone on guys i really like with the chuck fight other wise ide say randy to win. all the others im not bothered who wins there all top fighters and will make a match for any1 in there weight class!

  • JOHNBOY says:

    by saying im not bothered who wins doesn’t mean im not pumped about the fights im well lucking forward to them

  • FR702 says:

    Gun, 5 minutes alone ~ Pantera

  • rutdog says:

    Brock is going to win. It’s the UFC’s way of ushering him as a new great talent. Randy is awesome, but Brock makes both Sylvia and Gabriel look small. Randy won’t be able to hang. Ken-flo is going to surprise and dominate Baby-Daddy. Hazellett and Amir should win decisively. But, the Silva-Rampage fight is a fight that shouldn’t happen. Silva is going to win but murder. Rampage needs a cheesey punching bag to get back in the wins column. His head is nowhere close to where it should be with the arrests, new camp, etc. Sorry, but it will be 3-0 Silva over Rampage. Then Silva for the title.

  • Justin says:

    Gun,
    I really like Forrest’s music, coming out to Shipping up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphy’s …but you can only use that one if you’re Irish, otherwise you’ll look like a jerk. Is the disciple song you come out to scars? I think it would be cool for someone to come out to the Still Fly cover by The Devil Wears Prada, you can give it a listen on their myspace page. Or Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste – Norma Jean.

  • JustJoe says:

    I think Kenflo is gonna win, although I hope he doesn’t. But atleast i’ll get to see BJ kick his a$$!

    My music would be something by Tool. Probably Bottom, Swamp Song, or Prison Sex. Bottom would have to have Rollins part playing.

  • gav d glasgow says:

    brocks goin be to strong for randy,the guys a monster.be interestin to see randys game plan for the fight,how do you stop lesner takin you down?hope we see brocks chin gettin tested for a change as well,silva by TKO stevenson by sub!

  • ALL_VICTIM says:

    couture
    rampage (he cant go 0 – 3 )
    florian
    hazelett
    amir
    hendricks
    lil heathen

  • The Gunslinger says:

    ya justin ive heard both of those songs i like devil wears prada and norma jean…i like alot of metal and ive thought about using scars remain but the only one ive used is rise up by disciple

  • killaghist says:

    brock, i love randy but we have a whole new animal here
    rampage, but it all depends on his mind silva will have a mental edge i think so im not gonna try and garuntee
    everyone else dosent matter yet

  • DolfanG says:

    gun

    Where is your fight going to take place?

    Rampage is going into this fight with a ton of bagage. He still has the felonies hanging over his head and he doesn’t have his old trsiner which is not that big of a deal, but he hasn’t been with his new trainers long enough yet to reap the benefits of their training techniques. But then again… who knows?… Maybe he’s exactly where he needs to be to be able to finally defeat Silva.

  • The Gunslinger says:

    dolfanG, Im from ohio its in a small town willard,OH…it isnt till may though and its an ameuter fight….and they get postponed alot so i dont know if i will be fighting exactly yet…its been canceled once before….pretty soon i plan on leaving here and going to a bigger gym with real credibility and maybe make it pro…you may have heard of it its called walker submission kickboxing near dayton…gurgel teaches bjj there so i hope to get there and maybe one day move to vegas or new mexico to train with couture or jackson…but i have a long road ahead of me…just remember the name if you ever hear it again Lucas “The Gunslinger” Gerber

  • DolfanG says:

    I won’t forget it and if I see you, I’ll be one of your biggest fans.

  • DolfanG says:

    I’m still a Florida Gator fan though… haha

  • The Gunslinger says:

    Ya i hope maybe one day i can be a great fighter…i mean i would love to hold a title one day but my only real goal is to do my best in the sport and get as far as i can ….if i ever become a star great but if i dont..i will always know i tryed my hardest at something i love

  • DolfanG says:

    AS far as music goes, maybe you could go in a different direction and use some music from The Lord of the Rings… something etherial that builds as it goes… That would certainly get some attention.

  • The Gunslinger says:

    ohhh come on man if ted ginn jr wouldnt have got hurt we would have destroyed you guys…..but im still embarresd about the usc game that just sucked..we were bad..we need to get rid of beckman and put in pryer but tressel’s only flaw is he loves to stay with the starting qb no matter how bad he is doing……hey did ike effect you …it hit me up herein ohio it sent tons of wind and rain and knocked out my power and internet

  • DolfanG says:

    Gunslinger

    GO FOR IT! Set your goals on a belt that you can obtain and then set new goals when you get that belt… There are a ton of smaller shows where you can learn. Take advantage of them. I think MMAFrenzy folks will all be in your corner.

  • DolfanG says:

    Ted Ginn was good, but I don’t think the game was close enough for him to have made much of a difference. It was fun beating you guys for the championship in football… and basketball… that was fun too…

    But, when you make it to the UFC, you’ll be my favorite fighter. Is that cool?

  • The Gunslinger says:

    hey watever floats your boat but thats really far away it will be a long time before i ever get that good…plus by the time i get that good(if i do)..i dont know if the ufc will be around anymore…..maybe 5-10 years before im that good im still a little amuetur …..im not privliged enough to even hold anyone in the ufc’s mouth guard let alone fight anywhere near them…but maybe one day

  • FR702 says:

    Gun, what weight class? Hey best of luck on your AM fight it is a difficult road…

  • Justin says:

    Gunslinger,

    If you ever do make it somewhere I can see you, I will definitely pull for ya. And what makes you think the UFC won’t be around in five years?! They were almost dead 8 years ago, and look where they are now. They are clearly the biggest, and most well organized promotion, and will only continue to get bigger as long as they continue to make smart decisions.

    Also, its better to set BIG long term goals, with short ones on the way. For example, if you set the goal that you want to be UFC champion one day, and fall a little short, at least you’ll get to be champion in Elite XC, or Strikeforce.

  • DolfanG says:

    Don’t be overconfident, but be confident. You’re as capable as anybody else. The harder you work the luckier you’ll get. Work hard and get lucky. You’re probably not that far behind war machine right now. Do you plan on changing your name to The Gunslinger by any chance?

  • FR702 says:

    DolfanG still on the Mr.War Machine thing huh kinda funny too

  • DolfanG says:

    To answer your question, no… we didn’t get anything except for a rainy day from Ike. But I’ve been through that crap enough. Do you remember a few years ago when Florida got hit with 4 hurricanes? We ate 2 of them within a couple of weeks of each other. that sucked.

  • DolfanG says:

    FR

    I can’t get passed that nimrod changing his name to that. Good thing his ring name wasn’t “I’m An Idiot” I guess…

  • DolfanG says:

    You got me thinking back now… when hurricane Francis hit us it tore up a lot of the red lights. They redistributed the remaining red lights and used the ones they had in reserve then a couple of weeks later Jeanne hit us and tore up just as many redlights again. We had uncontrolled intersections for a while… no power… I have a generator so my friends and their families were coming to my house to get showers and watch TV. That part was cool.

  • DolfanG says:

    My generator will ower my house and even run my water heater, but it won’t run my air conditioner. It was brutally hot with so much humidity. Power was out 9 days the first time and a day or two the second time.

  • DolfanG says:

    power not ower
    stoopid keyboard

  • The Gunslinger says:

    i dont think ill be changing my name to the gunslinger anytime soon…….but ya to Fr702 Light heavy weight

  • The Gunslinger says:

    lhw is what i want to fight but i may be a middle weight..i havent decided exactly yet once i get my weight down to where i feel comfortable ill chose ill tell everyone once i get decided and thanks for all the support guys, i definitly try to keep everyone posted…is there anyone else on here that trains or fights that you guys know of…i also always wondered did kris ever train or fight?

  • FR702 says:

    I train and have for the past 16 yrs, a few different arts, I’ve toyed with the idea of fighting in local shows yet I just don’t have the “lifestyle”(I’ve got me some responsibilities), that alows me to go and just fight

  • ALL_VICTIM says:

    Gunslinger

    I will your biggest fan from AUS
    all the best of luck

  • ALL_VICTIM says:

    * I will be your biggest fan from AUS

  • brandon says:

    Lesnar – simply too big and strong and fast for Couture, the perfect person to beat him. Unless Randy pulls of a submission from his back he can’t beat Lesnar (I really hope I’m wrong, I love Randy but I also feel Lesnar is the future of the HW division)

    Wand – Who ever said no knees to a downed opponent must not have seen the Rampage/Wand fights, He kneed the hell out of a standing Rampage and knocked him out and through the ropes) He’ll beat Page again. Rampage has a hard time with people when they bring it to him. Every time Forrest tried to counter he got punished, Everytime he attacked he was affective.

    Kenflo – Better BJJ than Jo and much better Striking. I see Kenny keeping this on the feet.

    who really cares about the rest.

  • Justin says:

    brandon,

    I said about the knees, I re-watched the fights after that and realized that they had not played as big of a role in those fights as I had remembered, but they still did play a role. As some of the other said, it depends on which Wand shows up. I also think Rampage is a much better fighter now than he was then…well he was before the recent distractions at least, we’ll see how that affects him. I should hope that Rampage has worked on NOT getting kneed in the face from the clinch for this fight, he obviously didn’t between the first two fights.

  • DolfanG says:

    Lucas

    Best of luck to you. I’ll be waching for you. Keep your chin down!

  • DolfanG says:

    By the way… the Gators will kick the Buckeyes butts again if they make it to the big game again… ;-)

  • Dr Doom says:

    Wand vs jackson would be the one to watch ..thats a main event all by itself .wand all the way on that one …… KO 2 .

  • cornflakes281 says:

    does anyone know what’s going on with josh koshchek? I feel like that guys been MIA.

  • Justin says:

    Koschek won over Kris Lytle at UFC 86 in July, based on the normal schedule fighters go on, he could be due for a fight in October, November or December. His website has him scheduled to be at UFC 89 Oct 18 in the UK, but he is not on the card posted at UFC.com. The UFC 90 card right now only has 6 fights on the card posted at UFC.com, which is not enough for a full payperview, they may have others in the works. It could be that they are going to announce at UFC 89, his next fight, which would explain him being scheduled to be there.

  • timcat says:

    This card really looks fantastic.

  • Dietrich says:

    Good luck Gunslinger…

  • cornflakes281 says:

    If lesnar beat randy via knock out or submission(heh, yaa okay) or just pound his face in for 3 rnds, does that end all talk of if he was deserving of a shot at randy? Does it end all talk of a 1-1 ufc record?

    I think it does

  • Booms says:

    lesanr is going to kill couture
    rampage hopefully not possative but hopefully
    joe stevenson
    hazelett
