UFC 88 "BREAKTHROUGH": SEPTEMBER 6th, Atlanta, GA

[layinwood]

I hope more people think of the Liddell fight like you guys. I need some help on that line. I'll take it where the line is now but I don't want it any higher.

I don't think Evans will have any chance at taking Chuck down, if he does then he won't keep him there. If Randy can't do it then a very small Evans won't be able to.

You can say Evans will do what Jardine did but I truely think Chuck learned from that fight. He'll be a lot more aggressive in this one.

GW, don't let it leave you cold like that. Lay it down on Liddell and you'll will be as excited as you can possibly be about a fight. Nothing like laying a max bet out there and seeing your boy knock the other man out.

GW..... sup buddy? As for Yoshida, he is no chump, and for various reasons i think his fight w/ Parisyan will be a good one.

This fight is huge for Parisyan -- he is a very competitive guy and his dreams of a title shot may completely disappear if he loses here... b/c of this, i think he has made the decision to actually start training like a professional... Parisyan is a top 5 welterweights in the UFC when he comes in shape (IMO).... especially after seeing Fitch choke it up against GSP so bad. I know, i know, Karo's not in the same league of GSP/Penn (not even close), but he is a very solid welter when he is in good shape.

Yoshida has a style very similar to Parisyan's -- Yoshida also likes to pressure and has stellar takedowns. These guys r probably the best two in the world at taking their Judo prowess and making it work for them in MMA. Yoshida went to the University of Judo (yes, there is a U of Judo in Japan) for a few years and has been studying the art since 5 years old or something like that.. he also has a good guard and good elbows.

Clip of Yoshida versus a very solid Dan Hardy.. has a couple good takedowns b4 the fight is stopped.. most notable at about the 2:30 mark:

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I want Karo to lose reguardless of who he fights. I'd even root for GSP to beat him, honestly.

:scared

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Karo is an arrogant egotistic asshole who doesn't respect anyone. He thinks people should bow down to him. He also thinks that he should get respect from other fighters not as profiled as him since he's in the UFC. Who the **** cares, MMArtists all work as hard as he does. They also don't duck opponents like he does.

I love seeing him lose.

-Jason Lambert vs. Jason MacDonald[/COLOR][/B]

I wonder if Jason Macdonald will use his 80" REACH THIS TIME. :shrug:

:director:

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Big fight for both fighters. Lambert is coming off 2 KO's and he landed lucky punches against Babalu, or else it would be looking at 5 straight KO's.

MacDonald coming off a loss where he simply fought a stupid fight and could've EASILY got a decision in, instead he decided to fight the other fighters fight.

Liddell -251 7units


Well this is the big one for me and I'm loving it more everyday. From what I've read, Chuck is back 100% and has been for a while. He actually never stopped training after the hamstring injury so he's been at it a while. I don't know if I can wait two weeks for this one. :00hour

You got bigger balls then me Lay. My luck the first kick Liddel throws he rips that hamstring again. Good luck. That just puts to much doubt for me.
