Wullie! 8 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sunday Morning at 3am on Setanta Sports 1. Repeated on Setanta Sports 2 at 8pm on Sunday. In his first fight since a stunning victory over Wanderlei Silva at UFC 79, UFC legend Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell is back to face undefeated light heavyweight contender Rashad "Sugar" Evans. Will Evans plow through Liddell to jump to the top of the 205-lb. rankings? Or will Liddell successfully continue his crusade to regain the UFC Light Heavyweight Title?

chewbacca 8 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm looking forward to this as well, Liddell is one of my favourite fighters, has been for years well before he was in the running for title shots. Did anyone see UFC87? I missed it but wondered what peoples thoughts were on Lesnar? I was on the UFC website today and very surprised to see he's got a title match against Coulture at UFC93 I believe it is. The lad has only had about 3 fights since switching over to MMA, surely its a huge insult to the rest of the fighters that have been plying and learning the sport for years. Coulture is just amazing even at his age and I'm very confident he'll rip Lesnar apart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulture is just amazing even at his age and I'm very confident he'll rip Lesnar apart Lesnar is an awesome wrestler. NCAA all American champ and not just your average guy with 3/4 fights. The reason this fight is happening is for the PPVs. Most casual fans will have heard of Brock, so he will be a huge pull in sales and the UFC is a business remember. Couture will have a tough fight on his hands 'cos Brock will be hungry for this and Randy has not fought for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I like Georges St-Pierre and Forrest Griffin. Shamrock retired in 2006. Hes fighting Kimbo soon is he not(Shamrock) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 485 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I like Georges St-Pierre and Forrest Griffin. Shamrock retired in 2006. Hes fighting Kimbo soon is he not(Shamrock) Just rumours at the moment mate. I think Kimbo would murder shamrock. Even if Shamrock manages to take him to the ground, Slice would still mall him down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 485 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We should have a little predictions sections for UFC/Affliction or regular MMA fans. Anyway, here's mine: Main Card Light Heavyweight Bout: Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans Light Heavyweight Bout: Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill Middeweight Bout: Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares Middleweight Bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Martin Kampmann Welterweight Bout: Matt Brown vs. Dong Hyun Kim Preliminary Card Middleweight Bout: Jason MacDonald vs. Jason Lambert Light Heavyweight Bout: Tim Boetsch vs. Mike Patt Welterweight Bout: Roan Carneiro vs. Ryo Chonan Lightweight Bout: Thiago Tavares vs. Kurt Pellegrino The first two fights are hugely exciting. I think Rashad (although totally boring style of fighter) will overwhelm the older Liddell and therefore win on points. (athough I hope not) I think Matt Hamil should have won the fight against Bisping (although I like Bisping) and I think he'll be too much for Jim Carey who's going up to 205 cause he can't get a sniff of a win agains the Spider dominating the middleweights.

Ted E Bayer 485 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Wow, so it is. He's fighting on the Elie XC card again. I stand corrected. That should be an interesting scrap. Exciting stuff. :-D. I think the sooner he gets his butt to the UFC the better, they are crying out for top heavyweights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted E Bayer 485 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Some good fights. I believe I won the prediction comfortably. P.S. Slice has more to have game than punches bud.
