Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2007-11-16 · 9 posts
Michael Bisping Vs. Rashad Evans
Thiago Silva Vs. Houston Alexander
Joe Doerksen Vs. Ed Herman
Ryo Chonan Vs. Karo Parisyan
Frank Edgar Vs. Spencer Fisher
Chris Lytle Vs. Thiago Alves
Jason Reinhardt Vs. Joe Lauzon
Luke Caudillo Vs. Marcus Aurelio
Akihiro Gono Vs. Tamden McCrory


Some good fights there but no big headliner or belt match.

Bisping vs Evans, I dont really care for either one but they are pretty evenly matched, could be a great fight actually

Silva vs Alexander, should be interesting to say the least, if Sliva can last thru the initial flurry we'll see what Alexander has got.

Chonan vs Parisyan, Parisyan always makes a good match

Edgar vs Fisher, both pretty good, should be a batle is it doesnt end in the first 30 seconds


On second thought I just might have to get this one after all

Thoughts?

It will be on http://watchtvsitcoms.com/fighting.php soon after for free... fyi
The headlining fight is maybe the weakest ever for a UFC, but the undercard is pretty strong. Karo vs. Chonan should be an excellent fight in particular. In reality that should be the headlining fight as you can argue that both guys are top-10 welterweights while neither Bisping nor Evans are top-10 light heavyweights.
Thx Haydro, no broadband here tho

I'm not convinced that Bisping is even a good fighter, he just hasn't impressed me at all. His mechanics are sloppy and loose. Evans? IDK, I'm not impressed with him either. Although I was suprised that he had a split decision with Tito, but I think Tito didn't give his oppenant respect and didn't train as he normally would have.

I hope KP gets his ass kicked, he's such a tool. That being said, he does always bring a good fight to the card. I won't be getting this one, but I will a few days later when it comes out on the net.

Spencers fight should be a good one, he's another one that brings a good fight to the card.
No major headliners, but it will definitely be worth getting IMHO. There will be 3 or 4 good fights there, which is enough to make it worthwhile.

1. Bisping vs. Evans pits 2 undefeated fighters, both winners of TUF seasons, which is a UFC first.

2. The Alexander fight is worth watching because in his last 2 UFC fights he's absolutely destroyed both opponents. He's going up against another quality fighter, so it should be fun to watch, and almost guaranteed to end in a knockout.

-It's speculated that the winner of one of those 2 fights will challenge Rampage for the LH title.

3. Karo Parisyan always gives a good show.
We'll get it, cause we can split it among ppl for $5 each.

good stuff, we have a crew so it's cool. Sometimes we just go to the bar and watch it there.
not even close to buying it. no titles even on the line.

I would like to see karo and spencer's fights...the rest of the card arent even contenders.

One of the lamest pre-fight cards they've put on ever.

Now...one of the great things about the sport is how the fights pan out...not necessarily who has the most name recognition. Still tho...not worth $40

*PS - UFC pissed me off when I orded a PPV a couple of PPV's ago...throwing fucking advertisements...not product placement...full length fucking commercials in the PPV...lame. On top of that, they didnt even air all the fights...YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT...they cut fights out to put fluff and commercials into the PPV.

I probably won't ever buy another PPV until they fix that shit.
