stupid tito. don't grab the fence and you win 

[eS El Duque]

evans would've took him down if he didn't grab the fence ^^^^...which could've gave evans the round if he stayed on top

the main event was a fuckin joke....Nate is a fuckin joke...UFC should've KNOWN Nate is no where NEAR Silvas level.


otherwise...some good and bad fights

[Intriago33]

Dissapointed, it was potentially a great card but the majority was a bit of a bore.
I still don't know why Herring allowed Nog the chance to stand when he could of pounded him out and scored a big upset.

Looks like a good card for UFC 74
    * Champion Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (for heavyweight title)
    * Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck
    * Patrick Cote vs. Kendall Grove
    * Joe Stevenson vs. Kurt Pellegrino
    * David Heath vs. Renato “Babalu” Sobral
    * Marcus Aurelio vs. Clay Guida
    * Ryan Jensen vs. Travis Lutter

I dunno man, I gotta say that '74 hasnt got me hyped.
I hope GSP and Joe 'Daddy' can score wins, but I just don't see this being an entertaining card unfortunately.

[NiCc_FrUm_ThA_nO]

Nah? Im really lookin forward to St.Pierre-Kos, Couture-Gonzaga, the Stevenson fight, Kendall Grove fight, and the Babalu fight..

[Intriago33]

At 76, Diego Sanchez is rumoured to take on Jon Fitch..

I can't wait for this fight, it's about time Fitch got a chance against a higher level fighter.

So looks like UFC 77 will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio..
Headlining the card, Anderson Silva will be facing Rich Franklin,

This is bullshit and it pisses me off how much Dana favors Franklin. The challenger gets to fight for the title in his hometown. Whats gayer is that had Nate won it would've been in Denver ( his home town ) but then Silva kills Nate and its in Cincinnati. Just for that I hope Silva ko's him again in brutal fashion.

74 has sort of got me hyped, I'm looking forward to Gonzaga Couture and return of my boy Babalu! Couture imo is going down though how can he hang with Gonzaga, he's a gorilla in disguise. St. Pierre Kos has potential I guess too. But I'm more hyped and awaiting 75 to see Cro Cop again. I had a dream last night it was 75 and I got the whole audience to chant 'Mirko' lol.
Anyways, later.

[NiCc_FrUm_ThA_nO]

I trhink Couture is gonna beat Gonzaga..prolly not dominate him but he will beat him imo..I really cant see Gonzaga beating Couture..

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

Gonzaga is not Tim Sylvia though.

[NiCc_FrUm_ThA_nO]

Gonzaga is not Tim Sylvia though.

No one said he was
I just dont think he can beat him...Up to this point he's faced nobodys, not including Cro Cop..Sure he beat Cro Cop, and im not implying that he just got lucky but shit like that happens, perfect timed shots can knock anybody out.

[Intriago33]

Unless Gonzaga can finish him in the first three, I see Randy winning by decision.
I'm really not looking forward to this fight, can see it being a bit of a snooze-fest like Couture-Slyvia, unless Gonzaga pulls out another devastating shot.
