UFC--Lite Heavyweight Championship

Since their fight Bonner has fought some tough guys---I think if Bonner and Griffin fought now --Bonner would take it. But neither has enough experience to fight Liddell...

 

10 minutes until fight time---gotta go..

 

Liddell---Round 2----COuture has retired from fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As for the fight itself, after a pair of unforgettable openings (Couture to AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ and Liddell to DMX’s ‘Intro’) that put the crowd on their feet and kept them there, the two future hall of famers circled each other warily, looking for openings as the crowd alternately cheered for their favorite fighter. Each brief exchange brought a roar, but neither was willing to commit to a sustained attack. Liddell was the more active of the two though as Couture looked to counter the strikes of ‘The Iceman’. Couture continued to stalk behind a high guard, and his sporadic strikes seemed to take Liddell out of his rhythm. Liddell quickly recovered though, rocking Couture briefly with a right to the head. But as Liddell moved in for the kill, Couture, his nose now bloodied, was able to recover and take the champion to the mat for the remainder of the round.

Couture refused to deviate from his fight plan in the second round, as he followed Liddell around the Octagon while throwing in the occasional counter to Liddell’s heavier shots. But soon, Couture’s luck ran out, and as he shot in with a left hand, Liddell landed the same short right hand that ended the pair’s second fight, and Couture again crashed limply to the mat. Liddell’s follow-up shots on the fallen Couture were exclamation marks on the victory, and referee John McCarthy called a stop to the bout at 1:28 of the second stanza.

 

MIssed it by 2 rounds but I predicted the retirement!!!!!

 

Arlovski will Fight Sylvia April 15th PPV-----Mir lost last night to Marcio Cruz. Cruz gave him a punch to the side of the face that split his forehead open---freakin blood everywhere...

 

I can't take credit for the play by play--I got it off of UFC website---and ole buddy Bruce if you ever have tickets to a UFC event, just laying around, I would have no problem using them for ya!!!! HAHAHAHA

 

Saw the movie "Striking Distance" with Bruce Willis the other day, old movie from 92. There is a part where Bruce stops a boat for speeding. The driver of the boat looked alot like a younger Forest Griffin--anyone know if it is???

 

This Sat night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UFC 58!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Franklin wins!!!

I last saw him in the Pride Fighting system and then nothing for awhile. Presently he is not listed as a UFC fighter...

 

Keith---Ultimate Fighting Championship---this Sat night is a title fight for the Middleweight belt. Not wrestling, not fake. It is a combo of boxing and mixed martial arts. If you are willing to spend the money--this Sat night fight is on PPV --$34.95 and worth every penny. There will be about 8-10 fights total. Starts at 10pm est. Fights usually are in Vegas and get sold out in a matter of days... http://www.ufc.com/

 

I dont know about that, but Hughes will win. I dont know why Gracie is fighting the Champ anyway. GSP should be next in line for a title shot....
