how does C.B. Dollaway vs. Mike Massenzio get on the main card over Dean Lister vs. Yushin Okami? Correct me if I’m wrong PLZ. Doesn’t the winner of Okami vs Lister get a title shot ,so why isn’t a number 1 contender spot being promoted over a TUF fighters fight in Dollaways
ufcmanz,
Beats the crap out of me! I have no idea either, unless it’s not really for a #1 contender spot.
good call guys. i couldn’t believe that either when I was looking at the card earlier making my predictions.
I think Lister and Okami should be both for number one contender spot and on the main card. However it’s obviously nor on the main card and I actually don’t think it’s for number one contendership either.
I agree on all fronts.
On a side note, we shouldn’t be very surprised that we still haven’t cracked the formula that Dana uses for #1 contender status. A la Thales Leites.
It’s definitely not for the number one contender spot. In fact I think Lister might even get booted from the UFC if he drops this one.
Even tho I would like to see Okami v Lister on the main card, it does has the serious oppritunity of be a boring fight.. I also would like to be able to see Okami v Silva before Silva retires just to see him “get back that loss”….
Clearly with this there is a really good possibility that after the next TUF that will be the clear cut #1 contender its going to be one of three men Bisbing, Hendo, Franklin we will find out soon enought, this might be why Leites is getting the shot at Silva then someone else, then one of those 3 guys.. I think that Anderson has 4 fights left on his contract soo possibly at this time next year will be his final MMA fight, if he keeps to his time line of wanting to retire, those are my thoughts on that there
How did the Wanderlei/Rampage staredown go down??
What the hell??? They didn’t show the stare down for Forest v Rashad and ….Nog v Mir…MMM that to me deserves a big WTF…I use the stare for my picks…not good.
Wonder what happened.
My picks for UFC 92
Forrest by choke 4/4
Big Nog by choke 3/4
CB by UD
Wanderlei by ko 2/4

Wessel by UD
Hamill by UD
Blackburn by tko 3/1

How is going to workout hell I dunno but those be my picks
I was at the weighins, and the staredown was pretty good. Rampage said something which immediatley lead to wandy pushing him. My picks:
Forrest: UD
NOG: UD
Wanderlei: TKO 3/3
CB: TKO 1/4
“KO”ngo: KO 1/4
Okami: TKO 2/2
Hardonk: UD
Hamill: UD
Blackburn: SD
Barry: TKO 1/1
Yes, no submissions on the night.
eric why would lister get booted he has only lost once in the ufc and that was a close split which i believe he won….dean and dana are good friends to so i dont think that will happen
Wow, we have exactly almost none the same…
If that be the case then my friend one of us is going to do really well and the other not so much, this was a difficult aka TUF card to pick I’m really looking forward to some wars
Picks:
Griffin Choke 4/3
Nog TKO 4/4
Wandy TKO 2/3
Massenzio Choke 2/3
Okami UD
Chonen Sub 2/3
Hamill UD (decided to go with you on this one FR)
Al-Turk TKO 1/3
Barry TKO 1/3
Hardonk TKO 2/4
BTW Kris a DBiz have yet to vote, and a few people need to pick one fight due to Wessel stepping in.
Haha thx see tho Justin I’m having a bit of issues with Kongo and Al~Turk but I think I’m going to stay with Kongo, even tho I would like to see CB lose, I think he will win and the Hardonk fight is another iffy for me o and I just don’t think Ryo will win gut feeling even tho I do enjoy him as a fighter
Ryo’s a tough pick, basically a guess. Kongo and Al-Turk is going to be a TKO for someone. I think the deciding factor will be where the fight takes place. I think Massenzio can pull off a sub on CB, and I will be pulling for him to, so I don’t want to be pulling against myself. Hardonk is also a toss up, but Wessel is taking the fight on short notice if I remember correctly, which gives me reason to give Hardonk the nod.
Just submitted my picks…
Justin, the Hardonk situation is a odd one yet perhaps Wessel can be the new Tim Botiesch, and Kongo can do it I think
