Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I dont agree with the hand feeding though.I know he's old but usually fighters do 1-2 goodbye fights and he signed for what 6 more fights? Sorry but if he has to feed him 6 more boxers or bums thats just sad if you ask me

Well the fight with Coleman was a "legends" fight so that makes sense. Now he's fighting Toney. Toney's gotta fight somebody. Why not Couture? I guess they could've matched Toney up with Kimbo.

Before that it was Lesnar and Nog, so c'mon.

He signed a 6 fight deal after the NOG fight .So Vera was 1 and that was almost to much for him.Then Coleman was #2 .So Toney is #3 .You got to figure Dana will give him 2 more bums to fight for #4 and #5 and then have him fight for the title in his last fight on the contract

I would have made it Toney-Kimbo .I think that fight made more sense .I mean putting Toney up against Couture in his first fight makes about as much sense imo of putting Couture against Toney in a boxing match

Couture was coming off of a loss, so the Vera fight made as much sense as any other fight. That's the fucked up thing about Couture haters. When he gets fights against top guys then you cry foul and then when he gets a fight against a mid-level guy there's still a problem. I mean, what the fuck?

Considering that Kimbo is basically a boxer without any pro boxing experience, then that fight would've been lopsided, too. Toney is at least a high level guy within his respective combat sport.

You're right on that, but if Toney wants to run his fucking mouth about MMA, then let him fight a real MMA fighter right out of the gate.

Dana's wants to teach him a lesson . . . not build him up.

I'm not a Couture hater I actually like the guy I just think its stupid when any fighter is given easy fights time after time when other guys are busting their asses.Remember I was also saying Tito-Liddell 3 was stupid because is was just a set up for Liddell. I mean you got fighters like JDS,Cain,Carwin fighting top contenders for 40k and Couture gets boxers for 350k paychecks.

Considering that Kimbo is basically a boxer without any pro boxing experience, then that fight would've been lopsided, too. Toney is at least a high level guy within his respective combat sport.

Toneys not really a top level fighter at this point .He hasnt looked good in a boxing match in 5 years.Kimbo beat Mercer a boxer.I think Kimbo-Toney would have been great

You're right on that, but if Toney wants to run his fucking mouth about MMA, then let him fight a real MMA fighter right out of the gate.

LOL Toney's just trying to sell tickers .You got to know the guy

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Kimbo would take Toney down immediately and own him on the floor just like Randy should. Watch Kimbo/Mercer. And don't be surprised if he tries the same thing on Meathead.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Couture is going to pound Toney out inside 2 minutes. Couture has value. Couture wins this fight 99/100 times.

Don't make me post Art Jimmerson again.

I now hate Randy... and I would laugh if he lost. But he is not going to. It is probably the biggest lock in UFC main event history.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Hell I was going to take Schaub since the way people talked I figured it was going to be a close line but at -300 forget it

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Jacob Volkmann vs. Paul Kelly

There might actually be some value in Tuch with this one.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

all those underdogs look really good. My first instinct was Akiyama over silva, Carwin over Lesnar and grove over Reljic. I also think that tuchsherer and Bonnar have really good shots at winning.

[Ludo]

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Bonnar was getting his ass handed to him before the cut happened. He won't get that far into the fight this time around I don't think. Akiyama really has a good shot to win this. His skillset is exactly the kind of skillset one might need to beat Wanderlei. A great chin, good footwork, excellent judo. That said I think Wanderlei wins this fight because he just seems to have the answer for japanese(or in this case korean) fighters. I am considering taking Grove over Reljic, I think ring rust will continue to be a factor here for Reljic , not to mention it's hard to train for Grove because of his length.

[MMA_scientist]

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I liek Reljic at those odds. 2u on Reljic @ -140. I don't see an out for Grove. He is going to get lit up standing and if he takes it to the ground, he wont be able to finish.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I think Soszynski is a good bet. I like to bet fights I've already seen, and it's hard to go wrong betting against Stephan Bonnar.

I don't suppose anyone has a link to a video of the Hague / Tuscherer fight? I never saw it and I can't find it anywhere.

I came up empty on this one.
