... I think Bisping will take it, and word is Bisping is going down to MW after this fight. I want to see Houston get KTFO and be like "oh he never even hit me". lol |

... Cro Cop v.s. Kongo should be a great stand up war, two one dimensional fighters. What are the thoughts on Ramage vs. Henderson? |
Chris Zacher
said:
|
... i think hendo is going to get hurt. IMO KTFO of Wandy after cro cop is a whole different story then the new rampage. Hendo is ok in my eyes, but he shouldn't be the champ at MW in pride. |

... Yeah i wanna see Houston get PWND. That dude is a tool Matt vs Mike im HYPED bout it, these guys have moved up in the train now it will be nice to see who is getting better training now.. CroCop by KO, unless Kongo can get in on the chin, but i dont see Kongo coming after Mirko like GG or Fedor did |

... All right, boy and girls. I have to agree with Mike on this one. This card, for some strange reason, caught me by complete surprise. Almost like getting caught with your pants around your ankles. What they are doing down there, no one wants to know, but the fact is, they're down. Now...for my thoughts. Alessio Sakara vs. Houston Alexander Sorry folks, but I like Houston for this one. He said he was going to knock Jardine out and he did. I think he's going to put "the business" on Sakara's chin. Repeatedly. If anyone begs to differ, I have one thing to say: HE'S GOT SIX KIDS TO FEED!!! That should be motivation enough for anyone. Mike Hamill vs. Michael Bisping I'm going with Hamill on this one simply because he brings it. Bisping does not impress me. While Hamill isn't the most refined fighter, he is intense and he doesn't stop. Add to that mix Hamill's strength and wrestling and you have a winner. If you still wish to argue, let's look at Bisping's last fight: HE ALMOST LOST TO ELVIS SINOSIC!!! Hamill by complete and utter annihilation. Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo I believe Gonzaga showed all of the world how to beat Cro Cop. He did the same thing Randleman, Fedor, and Nog did. He brought it. I for one believe Kongo will do the same. He will bring it, and it will be a war. A war that will end in the second round via KO, when Cro Cop connects with that left leg of his out of nowhere. Yeah...I'm going with Cro Cop, folks. Everyone has a bad day, and Cro Cop is going to look to make a statement, albeit an ugly one. Rampage vs. Hollywood DAN HENDERSON BEAT WANDERLEI!!! DAN HENDERSON HOLDS TWO BELTS!!! DAN HENDERSON IS THE REAL DEAL!!! Dan Henderson is going to get slaughtered by a new and much more focused Quinton Jackson. If it won't be a knockout, it'll be by sheer power and will. Jackson is bigger, stronger, faster, and much more explosive than Henderson. For someone who struggled with the MWs, he's definitely biting off a lot more than he can chew with this one. Yeah, he beat Wanderlei, however, Wanderlei was also a different fighter than he was in the past. Everyone knows this. Rampage by a lot of unanswered hammer fists in the third round. |

... I disagree with all of your picks other than Cro Cop, Damon. Alexander showed nothing against Jardine, besides wild haymakers while being clinched. That being said, I will be thoroughly impressed if he pulls this one off. Hamill can wrestle, but that seems to be about it. I think Bisping is a much more complete fighter, and I see getting the KO victory. Cro Cop by left high kick KO. Dan Henderson, either by KO or by riding out a decision. Henderson is an unstoppable monster, with his five loses coming from three decisions and three subs, one by Arona and two by Nogueira. I don't see Rampage subbing him, and I don't see Rampage as having the heart to ride out a decision. |

... Gotta give rampage the egde on the weight and maybe the muscle 205 vs. 195, Dan's got the edge with his wresling on the ground olymics vs. high school, and both have KO power standing up and unorthadox technique. My heat says Henderson but if I was betting my money would be on Rampage |
ChrisZacher

... no way, f**king Misaki schooled Hendo Twice, Rampage will do that, but ten times better. |

... misaki rode a decision both times. In a 25 minute fight, the edge goes decidedly to Henderson. |

... oops, I meant went to decision both times, losing the first one, via unanimous dec. |

said:

... both weighed in at 204 but I'm betting rampage cuts to that and Dan bulked up to it... also rampage got crushed by Vanderli twice and Dan beat him |
ChrisZacher
said:

... yeah but ramage got "crushed" in 03. in the first match he had fought chuck before, and in the second match, way back 4 years ago, he was winning the first round, then got caught. MMA math never works. BTW the Wandy that Hendo beat is a way different fighter then in 03. Rampage beat Arona, so that means he can beat hendo sense arona beat hendo? MMA math never works. |

... UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (27-6) vs. PRIDE FC Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson (22-5) unification bout....I like Rampage an awful lot, but I agree with Spence and his take on Dan Henderson and I think he will pull it out somehow. 205 lbs.: Michael Bisping (13-0) vs. Matt Hamill (3-0)....Bisping will win this in the first I believe. I hope so at least. Hvywt.: Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (22-5-2) vs. Cheick Kongo (10-3-1).....HE'S BACK! 3rd fight in the UFC, trained in a cage and worked his ground game. Won't need it here though. KO time. 205 lbs.: Alessio Sakara (11-5) vs. Houston Alexander (7-1) Straight brawler, he might be one and done, but I don't think so. 205 lbs.: Thiago Silva (10-0) vs. Tomasz Drwal (13-1) 170 lbs.: Marcus Davis (12-3) vs. Paul Taylor (8-1-1)He'll start to catch everybodies eye after this one. He just gets better and better. 170 lbs.: Jess Liaudin (11-8) vs. Anthony Torres (5-0) 170 lbs.: Dennis Siver (10-4). Naoyuki Kotani (17-6-5)...for some reason I always root against the japanese fighters. Who knows why, just do. 155 lbs.: Gleison Tibau (14-4) vs. Terry Etim (9-0) another win for the Englishman on his home turf. |

... Wow...MMA math never works out, and Spence's math is off too. Hendo lost five times, eh? Three decisions and three subs? I count six. And sorry...Hendo isn't that huge of a monster. He's been pretty good, I'll give him that, but, when he fought Vitor...can we say "has-been"? Misaki gives him fits. Bustamante gives him fits. Wandy? Burnout. Come on, now. I see Jackson dominating this one, and will not be surprised if he puts Hendo away in similar fashion to Chucky. And MATT HAMILL RULES!!! LOL!! |

... Hamill won this one and showed more class after the fight then Bisping. Bisping had to realize he had just gotten beat! Totally lost respect for him. |
misunderestimate

... s**t..... Alexander was impressive. Hamil lost legitimately, I thought. It was a split decision, after all, meaning it could have gone either way. Walking forward and attempting lay and pray shouldn't constitute an automatic win anymore. Jackson/Henderson should have been a split. No way was that unanimous. I had Henderson winning round 1 and 2, and 5. Just because Jackson turned it on in the last twenty seconds does not mean he won that round. Oh well, it was a great fight. And to nip Chris in the bud before he says anything, that was not the "new" Rampage. It looked like the old Rampage before Wandy broke his spirit. |

... Spence, I disagree with all points except Alexander. Hamill blatently controlled the standup portion, got more hits in, and save for a couple, maybe three shots, took Bisping down when he wanted to. While on the ground, yes, he could've been a bit busier, he controlled the fight from start to finish. Bisping didn't offer up much, if any offense, and to say it was a legit win is complete Bollux! (LOL). The battle between Jackson and Hendo was a great one, I agree. HOWEVER...(lol)Jackson got the better of Hendo in the striking department, and while Hendo got more takedowns, he was unable to get off much offense. Yes, he had the two sub attempts and a reversle, however, an attempt and some lay and pray does not constitute a split decision or the winning of a round. Jackson looked good, had pretty good cardio, and didn't get sloppy. He even threw in a couple of leg kicks, which is somewhat unusual for him. Now stop hating, and send me those pictures!!! LOL. |

... Saying Hammil didn't do nothing on the feet is stupid. look at Bispings face, re watch the fight an count how many times he conected. The only round where he didn't control the stand up was three. Even Bisping knew he lost it, look how he reacted when they said he won. |
misunderestimate

... That is the nature of a split decision, Chris. It could go either way, so it's not unusual for people to be surprised. And I don't think anybody said Hamil didn't do anything on his feet, but Bisping landed the majority of strikes, and moved much better. Just moving forward or being the aggressor is not enough to say that someone controlled the standup. You have to factor in strikes landed, and while Hamil had some good ones, Bisping had landed more volume and did an equal amount of damage. The striking in the Jackson/Henderson fight was similiar. You can argue that Jackson landed bigger shots, but they were pretty close in terms of strikes landed. In fact most of Jacksons punches were counter-strikes after Hendo initiated the exchange. On the ground, they both scored points by controlling the other opponent, but Jackson was inactive to the point of a stand up twice. Jackson looked good, but that fight could have gone either way. |

... No Hammil landed the mst strikes, had ring control, and take downs. A lot of MMA news sites are calling it the worst dec of the deacade, incudiung www.mmaweekly.com amongst others. he did nto do hardly any damage, the most was in the third round that I gave him. seriously re watch the fight. It was a BS jd, and if major unbiased MMA news sites are saying it, then its bad man. Most site veer away from getting worke dup about dec. This was BS. re watch it. |

... Not a bandwagon jump, my friend. I just re-watched it with several people who don't usually follow MMA. Even they were bothered with the decision. Watch the fight again, and you'll see that while Bisping threw lots of punches, a vast majority of them (all save 4 or 5) connected with Hamill's forearms. The rest of the time was spent either running, getting hit, or getting ripped to the ground. And you know it's bad when the ONE English judge went with Hamill. Come on, now. Don't be stubborn. Come into the light, Spencer. Join us. |

... I have to admit i went with Bisping. Wanted him to win. But still can't agree with the decision. It was a bad call IMO. I tried to see it from various points of view. Maybe they were looking at this or that but there simply isn't a way to look at this and give him the win. |
