yeah it was a damn good card next one will be even better liddell vs. cotoure 3 and arlovski vs. Mir <---- thats been a long time coming

Quarry is a tough dude, but Franklin is going to stay at the top for a while. Someone is going to have a hell of a time knocking him off.

Gabriel Gonzaga defeated Kevin Jordan by KO

i have been to an old folks home and watched and old guy clean his dentures and ben more entertained than this fight. i hope to never see these guys again. it was so boring joe ragn started talking about having to pee

rich franklin is a badass. his punches were accurate and strong.
i had no doubt hughes would destroy riggs


it wasnt the best UFC i have seen but it had its moments

lol that was a horrible fight

WHO HAS IT TAPED? I NEED A COPY. NAME YOUR PRICE

O2

EDOUBLE THANKS FOR THE RECAP I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE THIS ONE LIVE, PRETTY MUCH AS I KNEW WOULD HAPPEN, I LIKE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS DANA MADE MORE THAN THE FIGHT CARD, EVEN THOUGH EVERY FIGHT IS DIFFERENT I HAN NO DOUBTS FRANKLIN AND HUGHES WOULD RETAIN, I LIKED THAT ST. PEIRRE WON SO NOW HE'LL HOPEFULLY FIGHT HUGHES AGAIN AND PROBABLY TAKE HIS TITLE AGAIN, THIS FIGHT FOR THE PITBULL ARLOVSKI AGAINST MIR IS ONE I'VE STATED BEFORE HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MAY HAVE A CHANCE CURRENTLY TO TAKE THAT BELT BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT HE CAN MIR IS SO PASSIVE AND THE PITBULL IS VERY AGGRESSIVE W/ FEW MISTAKES, GREAT FIGHT CAN'T WAIT. AAHHH YES THE GREAT COUTURE AND LIDDEL, RANDY WILL WIN THIS W/ NO DOUBTS IN MY MIND THE LAST TIME THEY FOUGHT RANDY WAS NOT IN THE FIGHT IT WAS CLEARLY NOT HIS DAY AS YOU CAN SEE BY WATCHING THE FIGHT, EARLY KNOCKOUT CHUCK HAD NO TECHNIQUE TO WIN THE FIGHT. DURING THE FIRST FIGHT BETWEEN THESE TWO RANDY MAN HANDLED CHUCK IN EVERY ASPECT HE OUT PUNCHED THE PUNCHER AND TOOK HIM DOWN AT WILL THIS 3rd FIGHT WILL LOOK LIKE THERE FIRST RANDY DOMINATING UNTIL CHUCK TAPS. THATS AWESOME BJ PENN IS BACK "THE MASTER OF PANCREAS" HE MADE HUGHES LOOK LIKE HIS LITTLE ***** WHEN THEY FOUGHT SO SOMEONE W/ THAT ABILITY MUST BE AROUND, GREAT COACHES FOR NEXT SEASON THATS AWESOME THEY MATCHED THESE TWO UP I CAN SEE A REMATCH IN THE MAKING JUST HYPING IT UP NOW.

GSP is one bad canadian but Penn will get hughes first he's the residual champion and walked through hughes twice
