not a whole lot on this card I find interesting, and to boot they're charging for a UK venue, wtf is up with that? those are supposed to be the free ones. Lightweight championship will likely come down to who is better at their worst feature. Gonzaga will likely win he's had more experience than the first fight he had with werdum, then again werdum is experienced and has given gonzaga one of his 2 losses. I like Marcus Davis fun fighter to watch can't go wrong with the irish handgrenade.

Penn, Gonzaga, Davis

The good thing about this being on early in the day is that it should be streamable online at a pretty decent time instead of real late at night like the other events.

Randy Orton, Edge, Ric Flair, Undertaker, Beth Phoniex, these will be the winners @ the 2008 Royal Rumble.....oh wait wrong thread

UFC needs to get some new#'s, cant wait to see UFC 8067: Geriatric Depression brought to you by Viagra XXL

Stop placing the same MMA's every time, the shows are starting to look very scripted ala WWE

Original was very entertaining in the beginning, very gutteral/raw, now to flashy/flamboyant

problem with the original tournaments was the difficulty in finding venues to hold events, as no holds barred events were illegal in 40+ states. So the the mma unified rules were created and here we are. Now gtfo out of the thread if all you have to contribute is lolpro wrestling garbage.

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean by placing the same mma's every time, you mean the fighters?

I enjoy this card, I really don't think it deserves "roflcopter". It's not the best of cards, but it is certainly not the worst. There are some quality fights... Penn vs. Joe Daddy, Gonzaga vs Werdum, Marcus Davis is on quite the win streak, and Kendall Grove isn't too bad, it'll be nice to see him bounce back from his KO loss.

It's not that this card isn't spectacular, it's that this card isn't up to par with the past few/future cards.

very true that it is decent, however, it isn't as good as what we've been treated with in the recent past. Also, as much as I like both of these fighters i don't think they really deserve this. Stevenson hasn't beaten anyone that would warrant this, and BJ has only had 1 fight in the past year and a half. IMO kenny florian v roger huerta wouldve been a better choice. Furthermore, a fight in England shouldn't really be PPV since you'll likely be able to stream it/ know the results before the fight airs. All of this warrants the name roflcopter, plus "Rapid Fire" is quite similar to it.

[noblemountain]

i thought the "rapid fire"/"roflcopter" thing was clever. then again...i do get hit in the head quite a lot on a daily basis.

i like the card...wish it were free, but i understand they can't give us EU ppv's free forever. glad to see Penn get his title (sub 2nd), Gonzaga get revenge over Werdum (TKO 3rd) and the Irish Handgrenade get on t.v.

ps...gtfo with the wwf bullshit.

[archibaldcrane]

I don't pay particularly close attention to UFC, but I do pay it some mind.

I haven't heard of a single fighter in this lineup.

I realize this has already aired, but for those of us who were going to see this at 10 tonight, could you please mark stuff as spoilers? Sherdog fucked me on the BJ/Stevenson, and now I know what happens in the Grove fight. :S

Btw, don't go to Sherdog yet if you don't want spoilers.

[Blarg]

I've only seen 2 of the fights so far on daily motion, penn and gonzaga, does anyone have streams to any of the other fights, or know where I can dl a speedtorrent of the event.

Penn fight went as I expected, really looking forward to his fight with Sherk as he's one of the few ppl to put up a fair fight I think. I was pleasantly surprised by gonzagas fight, he seemed to gas in the second round and werdum took control and landed some nice strikes. Those leg kicks looked very strong, that guy can kick really well for a big dude.

[Remyo]

Yea sounded like it turned out to be a pretty decent card after all, didn't order it. I'll dl it later tonight tho. Kinda sad Gonzaga lost, but Werdum had beaten him before anyway. Loved that Davis won, I think he needs better competition now stop feeding him the lower ranking guys. Kendall Grove...wow not what I had expected, I wanna see it though lol.

[Blarg]

Found the main card fights http://mmafightvideos.blogspot.com/ The lambert fight had a pretty sweet ending I think, there were lots of knockouts on this card.

[Chips]

Wow, I could not believe the way Kendall lost. I mean, a knockout is one thing, but he got destroyed. He did not do a single thing the entire time. I was also very surprised at Gonzaga. Looks like he's not the great fighter we all thought him to be in the first place. I had extremely high hopes for him. As for the BJ/Stevenson fight, it went exactly how I thought it would. No surprise there. Overall an excellent card!
