LUFAN

Fedor is the man of the moment. He is by better than everyone in the UFC. I like the Pride/Dream association. I like the way the crown their champions and I like the idea of the tournament. GO MAYHEM MILLER. JUNE 15th. Oh and MMA.Com just updated their rankings. FEDOR still the #1 Heavyweight....

This is what I said "I truly do not think that GSP or Anderson Silva would do so well against a huge guy like that. I think the folks in the light heavy weight or heavyweight divisions would destroy him. I would love to see Wandy Silva fight him or maybe Chuck Liddell. Great Stand up matches." Again as I said I do not think that Kimbo would beat them...I just think he is to big and could inflict a lot of damage on guys weighing between 30 to 50 lbs lighter than him.

Why do you think a heavyweight boxer wont fight a flyweight, because they can do more damage. I agree that GSP and Anderson would beat him. I guess you only watch the American MMA events. Did you see what Hong Man Choi did to Fedors face???? Hong Man Choi is huge with very little skill but he sure made Fedors face look really bad. People who I think are polished in the MMA game... Anderson Silva, GSP, Jacare, Ricardo Alameda, Nogs, Fedor, Gomi, Matt Linland and Hendo. .. Chuck Liddell is more of a brawler... and if you are telling me that Randy Coture is not more polished then Chuck you are crazy. Take it how you want it, but someone like Kimbo has a PUNCHERS CHANCE because he is so powerful. Do you think that GSP or Anderson Silva could knock out Kimbo with 1 punch... I highly doubt it.

I completely agree with that statement. Rogers would have beat Kimbo.

Now I am not saying that the polished fighter would not win a good amount of the fights. I am just saying be reasonable. These fights will never happen. IE Kimbo Slice VS Anderson Silva or Kimbo Vs GSP. They would be great but could be a career ender for the smaller guys. The most likely fight that we will see is something like tito vs kimbo.

You are crazy. Have any of you ever watched the Pride Open Weight GP??? Polished vs. Power. Randy Coture vs. Chuck Liddell... Power won 2 out of 3 times.

I truly do not think that GSP or Anderson Silva would do so well against a huge guy like that. I think the folks in the light heavy weight or heavyweight divisions would destroy him. I would love to see Wandy Silva fight him or maybe Chuck Liddell. Great Stand up matches. I really wish the UFC would do an open weight grand prix ala pride, but that put to much wear on the smaller guys. Fedor demolished everyone he fought in those open weight tournaments.

From watching the fights the refs were horrible. They stopped the fights much to soon. One of the biggest things about mma is the chance to recover and continue to fight. To me it felt like they stopped the fights early to show how safe mma is to a new market, which cut the action and the length of the fights. It seemed like anytime someone was in trouble the fight was stopped. In the 1st fight they did not even give the guy the chance to recover and try to continue to fight. I think that elite XC will probably not be a fight organization after this horrible horrible showing. This was nothing more watered down MMA for the masses. This show reminded me of the old WCW days with the dancers and the crappy fireworks. And the Kimbo fight looked as fixed as a WWE match... I just wonder of Mr. Thompson knew....

These are some tough fights to pick... Main Card Bouts: -Urijah Faber (#1 Featherweight in the World)* vs. Jens Pulver -Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda -Rob McCullough vs. Kenneth Alexander -Mark Munoz vs. Chuck Grigsby I am not sure I have never seen either of these guys fight. Preliminary Bouts: -Jeff Curran (#7 Featherweight in the World)* vs. Mike Brown -Chase Beebe vs. Will Ribeiro -Jose Aldo vs. Alexandre Franca Nogueira -Danny Castillo vs. Donald Cerrone -Tim McKenzie vs. Jeremy Lang -Alex Serdyukov vs. Luis Sapo -Charlie Valencia vs. Dominick Cruz

I forgot to mention Gina Carano is HOT!!!

John Fitch is a hell of a wrestler but I think GSP still wins this one. GSP will not go up and fight Anderson Silva. BJ Penn dominated GSP in the beginning of the fight then gassed. BJ has great Ju Jitsu and I think that is why GSP is going to Brazil to train for a bit.

He got knocked out by a machine. It was not an embarrassment. GSP is the man, I do not know of many people who would have done that well against him. I think the only person that could beat him is BJ Penn if he gets in some good training before this fight. But GSP is going to be even stronger as he is going down to Brazil to train with Gracie Barra Rio.

-Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. James Thompson -Robbie Lawler (#4 Middleweight in the World)* vs. Scott Smith -Gina Carano vs. Kaitlin Young -Phil Baroni vs. Joey Villasenor -Brett Rogers vs. Jon Murphy.

Hughes and Alves is the main event Fabricio "Vai Cavalo" Werdum (10-3-1) vs. Brandon "The Truth" Vera (8-1-0) Nate "The Great" Marquardt (29-7-1) vs. Thales Leites (12-1-0) Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis (19-4-0) vs. Mike "Quick" Swick (11-2-0) Michael "The Count" Bisping (16-1-0) vs. Jason "Dooms" Day (17-5-0) Matt Hughes (43-6-0) vs. Thiago (Pit Bull) Alves (20-4-0) - Gabe you are crazy saying that Matt Hughes should not be the main event. The guy Bisping is fighting is a no body. Go to Sherdog and see who he fought. He was a late replacement. Brandon Vera is the man, I have watched him since KOTC. I would have loved to see him fight Cro Crop (he went back to fight in Japan) or Arlovski rather than Werdum. But this should be a good test and the winner will probably fight against Nogs for the championship. I almost forgot, one of the better fights this year is taking place Sunday on Versus in the WEC. I cannot believe that no one is talking about the Faber VS Pulver. That should be great.

Not a bad start. We always seem to get stronger as the tourney move forward. I predict a top 5 finish.

Guys, I think that we here at this forum want the best for Lamar, but that sometimes clouds our judgment. I think we all wanted a RC Slocum, Fran, or a Larry Coker. But lets be reasonable we are not paying that much, we are in a crappy conference, and we have already had our football program fail once. I think we are trying to do it right but we have limited options. We cannot force these coaches to take the job. I am optimistic, I think that Woodard or Stump would be good choices and I base my opinion on the type of background that they share with USF coach Jim Leavitt. He was not a big name when he took over USF and built that program. He was an up and comer like Stump or Woodard.

Thats the one UNLV.

I am not sure who we need to tell, but when it asks about the soft drinks that you drink it says diet cock instead of diet coke.

I agree. I would like Cocker or Slocum

here is a little something I heard from a local source. fran will only come if he is guaranteed that his son can take over the program in 2 to 3 years.

Dove you keep telling us how well connected you are. If you were well connected you would not have to say it all the time. I would say that there are people that are well connected on this forum and you can tell by the information that they bring to the forum. You just talk so much crap on LU.

Yeah bluedove came out of his shell to talk smack on LU some more. You are the man Bluedove. You sound like an angry old lady. Go back to the nursing home and continue to wonder why your family doesn't visit anymore...

I would be there, but work will keep me away. I have not missed any home games this year even when we were stinking it up in our OOC games. these guys are great, and I would be there if it weren't for having to work.

I will be there Sunday
