pretty much the same, but Smith/Cote is hard cause both suck. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Sam beat Machida. Beating a green Rich Franklin and squeaking by a very overweight BJ Penn only carries luster for so long. and looking like shit against Vernon White is never a good thing.

Vernon makes anyone look bad. I haven't seen any aspect of Sam's game in which he's better than Machida.

I thought Randy/Doofus was on this card too? I agree with Kuri on everything....but would love to see an elbows only bout from Crocop!

I agree with everything Kuri said. I'm just kinda surprised the Machida v. Hoger match isn't gonna be one of the televised ones.

Well it's no fun if everyone agrees with me! Isn't anyone picking Sanchez over that furriner? 
Randy vs Sylvia is in March, which is good because it'll give Sylvia some time to sweat Cro Cop.

I saw the odds the bookies are placing on the Crocop vs. Sanches fight. It was pretty funny.
Crocop -1200
Sanchez +800
So nope. No one believe in Sanchez. Except Sanchez.

This is a horrible card to say the least...
The most lopsided one in forever, I'll just wait to see the beatings on YouTube cause I ain't paying for this.

No, not even Sanchez is betting himself. Did you hear that interview with him?
The most active betting line is on how many times Rogan is gonna say "Silva is a spooky dude" and "Cro Cop has craaazy knockout power."

If Rampage has 'lost' Jesus as I have heard he has....he will be a beast. I love the old Rampage with the f-bombs every other word...can you imagine him and Samuel Jackson having a conversation?!
El Guapo: "So how are you going to win tonight Quinton?"
Rampage: "F--K.....same as always Bas...I'm gonna muthf--kin slam that muthaf--ka...that's just what i do, bodyslam muthf--kas!"

With him talkin' about old ladies grabbing his ass you better believe the old Rampage is back. Someone is gonna get slammed.

This is a smart card - and given who's in the UFC stable now, they hardly had much choice. It's designed to provide footage for the "Best Knockouts of 2007" DVD.
No more bouts of 15 minute dance recitals!

If there is anyone on the MMA forum that doesn't know who Rampage or Cro Cop are we should all point and make fun of them.
I loved seeing Chuck get his ass handed to him. hehe

While we're on the topic here's another Rampage interview from an L.A. TV station: http://cbs2.com/sports/local_story_018000009.html

Yeah Dos, it's safe to say classic Rampage is gonna be there Saturday.

Can't disagree with that statement...
But lopsided fights are still dull to watch. |
