Re: UFC 117

I knew I could go weird/far enough to make you stop.

Only until we meet again. . .

Re: UFC 117

Anyways, Hughes or Almeida? Who will win?

Re: UFC 117

Probably Hughes, but I hope Almeida subs his ass like a Subway sandwich artist. . .

Well fuck, now they're saying this shit's going down in Oakland.

Looks like we're getting UFC on Versus 2, after all.

Just go and pretend you're at UFC 117 .

The gayness is that it looks like this UFC on Versus is being treated more like a Fight Night than the first one was. No JDS, or Guida, or Kongo or any of that shit.

This one does look like it's going to have some good fights, though:

Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Joe Stevenson vs. Takanori Gomi
Mark Munoz vs. Yushin Okami
John Howard vs. Jake Ellenberger
James Irvin vs. Igor Pokrajac
DaMarques Johnson vs. Matthew Riddle
Brian Stann vs. Mike Massenzio
Rob Kimmons vs. Gerald Harris

Re: UFC 117

I am putting 25u on Jon Jones at -600 or better

Re: UFC 117

I wouldn't, Wiseman, Word from Jones is he hasn't been in the gym now for over a month and a half. At this stage in his career if he doesn't train alot more regularly than that he just might find himself on the other end of the Janitor fight, the losing side.

Re: UFC 117

^^^^ Interesting that Jones was offered the fight with Lil' Nog.

I had not heard that.

[Thewiseman]

Re: UFC 117

Yeah, how can the Janitor win though? I havent seen many of his fights. I know he usually wrestles guys, but what about his striking?

[SPX]

Re: UFC 117

His striking's not particularly sophisticated, but he hits hard.

Jones should win, but I wouldn't take his ass at any -600.

Re: UFC 117

The odds will be outrageous on this fight. If anything, I will take the Janitor for 0.25u.

Was just coming to post about that. I read it in Ioles column

Why Brilz?
I am super-excited about Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans at UFC 114. Personally, I believe Evans is too quick for Rampage and he can outwrestle him. Who do you believe will win? Also I have a gripe about the replacement fighter for Forrest Griffin on that card. Jason Brilz? Honestly? This guy lost to Eliot Marshall. While the match has huge upside for Brilz, it has huge downside for fans who wanted to see Antonio Rogerio Nogueira showcase his talent against top contenders. Could the UFC not get a better replacement? Thiago Silva and Jon Jones would have been much better replacements if they would have been willing to fight.

Jon Jones turned down the fight because he hasn’t been in the gym since his win over Brandon Vera. Thiago Silva, Ryan Bader and Vera are injured and not ready. Brilz is coming off a win over Eric Schafer, is 18-2-1 and is 13-1-1 in his last 15. Plus, Nogueira was contractually owed a fight and no one else was available. And do you think the UFC wouldn’t want to make the best possible fight? It’s trying to sell, so do you think it wants to put a fight on people wouldn’t be interested in? I don’t.

Re: UFC 117

the Janitor's striking isn't exactly Technical, if I had to compare him to someone I'd say he's the Jeremy Stephens of the Light Heavyweight division. His chin is good, and he hits like a mule. He may be on the downside of his career but make no mistake Vladmir is game.
