Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 This card is pretty lame if you ask me, but here goes: Whitehead vs Jardine - This is ridiculous that they would give Whitehead another chance at a PPV! Im betting this probably will be one of those pre show fights that doesnt air. Anyway..Ill just take JARDINE by split decision. Sakara vs Sinisic - Ill take SAKARA by guillotine (rd 3). Why is Sinosic even on the card... Buentello vs Aldana - Aldana has a 3 second KO win in the books lol, and is 5-0 with all of his wins being 1st rd knockouts. That means this should be a toe to toe standup fight with a sure fire KO, I'll take The "Head Hunter" BUENTELLO by KO (rd 1). Vera vs Eilers - Id really love to see Vera get smoked, but Eilers hasnt looked good since the Kyle win and will probably get nailed with a knee. VERA by TKO (rd 2) Babalu Sobral vs Van Arsdale - Sobral is very underrated cause everyone just remembers the famous Liddell kick on him. He's one of the best at 205 and will win this one fairly easily with an arm bar. SOBRAL by submission (rd2) Monson vs Hinkle - Dont really know much about these guys, just that Monson has won his last 12 fights. Probably against nobodies though, i'll just go with my gut and say HINKLE by TKO. Diaz vs Riggs - I think Riggs has been pretty overrated, i cant believe people actually thought he'd have a chance against Hughes. I'll take DIAZ via triangle choke in rd 3. Cruz vs Mir - Mir coming off a long layoff after his injury. For the sake of their heavyweight division, i hope its a good fight with Mir winning to set up an Arlovski fight. But also making Cruz a future contender at the same time. I'll take MIR by unanimous decision. Cotoure vs Liddell - I see this playing out alot like the last fight. Iceman is just too tough to take down and will end up catching Cotoure with multiple shots and winning by TKO in Rd 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaton 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I don't really like UFC anymore, I used to watch it constantly a few years ago but now it's seemed to turn into a glorified WWE. I was the most into it when Tito Ortiz was first coming up. Edited February 4, 2006 by Heaton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 I used to be a big time fan when the UFC first started, then kinda stopped watching it when they stopped doing the tournament format. I wish theyd still do that once in a great while...nothing beats a good ol' tourney. Anyways, I started getting back into it over the last couple years, mainly thanks to the INHD channell that re-airs some of the ppvs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 I've never followed UFC, Pride, or really K1 (saw a couple bouts on ESPN 2), but recently I've tried to find cool Pride fights online. I forget where and how but I stumbled upon a link to an Aleksander Emelianenko fight. He, and especially his older brother Fedor, can throw down! Damn! Google Video is my friend. peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 Theres no doubt Pride is better and has better fighter depth than the UFC. Fedor would murder the UFC's champ Arlovski. The only thing the UFC really has going for them is their connection with Spike TV...and their welterweight division. Pride has an hourly show on Fox Sports, with new episodes airing monthly. Its usually pretty good.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
