granville Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I love the lower weights, the pace they fight at is amazing. Torres hasn't done his pound for pound king challenge any favours but that's how he fights which makes his previous run all the more impressive. I hope Ben Henderson gets a shot soon, before or after the rematch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granville Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Henderson is a 155er though isn't he? Sorry, that post was almost impossible to understand. I should have put that bit in a different paragraph and even then it wouldn't make sense. I thought Varner and Cerrone would have to have a rematch (for the 155 title) because of how the last one finished. I've had a look and they aren't for some reason, Henderson is fighting Cerrone for the interim title (which I suppose is good). In my defence it was 1am. OK, OK, I'm just illiterate.

Tegis Posted August 11, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2009 Ah, :-) Varner is injured and subject to the Cerrone hate-campaign. That rematch I have to see, if he gets past "smooth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted August 15, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2009 Strikeforce has a show tonight, the card has been crippled with injuries and a Nick Diaz (tool) marijuana suspension. But the Babalu vs Mousasi is a good one. Also Jesse Taylor from TUF is on, hes been on a tear in the smaller orgs after been released by the UFC. Main event is the first womens title fight between Carano and Santos. Not really my thing but hey ho, Gina is hot! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted August 16, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think Babalu might have been out 8) My oh my, Mousasi really put on a display. A new favorite of mine after watching his last three fights. Carano got pounded to pieces by the much much stronger Santos. A big blow the the Strikeforce/Showtime hype machine. Marketing Santos is impossible and especially comparing her to Carano. Do I care, well no. Melendez also looking good at lightweight and it was nice to see the previously out of shape Werdum back on track. His belly in his last UFC fight was embarrassing. Nice submission from him.

granville Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Gina Don't worry, I've got a feeling they'll get her to take her kit off for playboy before fighting again for the title at another playboy mansion strikeforce event to generate some interest.

Tegis Posted August 28, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2009 UFC 102 tomorrow night. Old school time with Couture taking on Big Nog. Tough to call but I'm putting my money on Randy. He looked good until Lesnar caught him and Nog looked well below par against Mir. The other must see is Maia vs Marquardt with the winner probably gets the honor of getting hammered by Anderson. Maia is a favorite of mine. Ace ground game. Vera and Soszynski will probably be exciting if nothing else and Silva will ko Jardine Main card * Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira * Light Heavyweight bout: Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva * Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt * Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia * Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Krzysztof Soszynski Preliminary card * Middleweight bout: Ed Herman vs. Aaron Simpson * Heavyweight bout: Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Chris Tuchscherer * Heavyweight bout: Justin McCully vs. Mike Russow * Heavyweight bout: Tim Hague vs. Todd Duffee * Middleweight bout: Nick Catone vs. Mark Muñoz * Lightweight bout: Marcus Aurelio vs. Evan Dunham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted August 29, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2009 Couldn't find a pic but Vera looked in the best shape of his career. 205 is the weight for him. Soszynskis legs are going to be sore tomorrow. Big Nog much less chubby than in the Mir fight. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted August 30, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2009 Awesome evening. Great fights and brutal ko's. Marquart really sent Maia flying. As did newcomer Todd Duffee. 7 seconds and Hauge was out. That kid looks the part. Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Chris Tuchscherer included the "kick in the nuts" for the ages. My god that looked painful. Amazingly Tuchscherer came out again after throwing up in a bucket, only to be ko'd a minute later. And Big Nog back to his best. It really wasn't him against Mir. Nice to see Thiago Silva back. Much potential there. Jardine continues to be a gatekeeper getting knocked out again. And Leben out cold, bwahahahah! Steroid tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granville Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm not buying any until they confirm if the main event is Bisping or not. They tried to persuade us at first by saying BJ was coming then Anderson Silva but now we've got no big names at all. It looks like I'm giving this one a miss.

Tegis Posted September 8, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yep, the lack of a main event is alarming. Neither Bisping or Hardy is material enough. Still, to close to home for me to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
