YO ITS MY BDAY TODAY…. WHO GOT ME SUMTHIN
Looks like the UFC is not as cheap as eveyone thought. Granted most of these guys are B level fighters but with pay like this they won’t be stealing top level talent. I think Gilbert nneds to make his way to the WEC or UFC. 500 is kinda an insult even for your first fight. That wouldn’t even cover doctor bills if they were injured.
YEA MAD A IAGREE … BUNCH OF SIC ***
Dude I love MMA, but who would pay a $1000 to watch this card?
I did not see the fights, but does anyone know had Eddie Milis did?

Eddie Mills lost his fight.
Never mind I found it, Eddy Millis tapout to a rear naked choke 2.05 round one.
@Doc
Sorry to keep missing the boat, but can you explain to me how to use the quote option again………Thanks
Eddy Millis is a great instructor, but he has never made it in the ring.

It’s not just an idea. I’ve been working on it for several months how. It’s a pretty big project and I just haven’t had that much time to work on it full-time. Its about 70% done right now. Hopefully it will be done soon

HAPPY B DAY PATRICK

THANKS RICHARD UR ALMOST #1 DUDE.
did any of you guys actually watch this card? it was pretty good, i personally think Strikeforce or EliteXC puts together the best fights aside from the UFC. WEC just doesnt do it for me guys..
I gotta agree. I really like the EliteXC show’s a lot. I think they are pretty much on level with the UFC PPV’s. The Strikeforce show didn’t seem that great to me, but I’ve definitely seen much worse.
EliteXC/Strikeforce are doing some pretty good cards lately. I didn’t get to see this card but the last Elite show with Lawyler was prety good. Now that they have joined forces with several other promotions they have a decent roster to pick from. I like the WEC also though. Their champions are pretty good and what’s not to like about free MMA. Faber is a beast and I was pretty impressed with Chase in his last fight. Condit is also a great fighter I’m still amazed he was able to get Brock with the armbar so quickly. Now that the IFL is going to start showing some of their events live the free MMA pool gets even bigger. I’m looking forward to the Chris H vs Bart rematch. Chris will end up in the UFC or WEC soon he’s one talented kid.
condit is a animal,wonder when hes going to be moving on up to the ufc.Faber is a beast but i dont like his chin it looks like an azzzzz crack.Now chris is still really really young but hes a great fighter,i personnally like bart better
Hey Doc, did you notice during this card, when one of the bunnies was with the commentators and she said something like UFC is better or something lol. Then your boy Michael Clark Duncan was up there too hahaha.. I dont like their commentators either, theres such a simple solution to this problem for all mma shows… Get ex fighters behind the mic!!!
@BV
I agree friend, retired or “former” fighters working as commentators is much better than having a “professional” commentator who just sounds gaaay all the time… I mean BIG JOHN is a GREAT ref, he is also a BJJ black belt…. so he better understands the game…
I like listening to Randy when he is on… he is good, no BS.
PS (anyone out there doing any xbox 360 halo 3?)
@Kansas
I dunno if Big John would be a good commentator.. ive never heard him talk much haha. Randy should definately consider that a job opportunity once he retires, he can still teach and do his thing, its only like one night a month. Bas is probably my favorite from all the work he did with Pride, but i like the idea of guest commentators too. Just so its not always the same guys talking.
oh and i got a 36o, but im not a Halo fan, i play some gears of war tho hehe.. add me “bvrasp”
I wasn’t talking about Big John as a commentator, I was using him as an example of someone who refs but knows the game from the inside out, the analogy would apply to commentators as well…
my gamertag is MMAKansas
ah ok hehe, in that case, i definately agree, thats what makes him the best ref and thats what would make the best commentators as you said.
2009 is too long to wait for that UFC game man haha, i been playing the old ones a bit lately.. theyre still fun
sucks.. my 360 wont reverse tapout 2
ya i know, i still have my old xbox.. my gf got it for me when they first came out, you know those see thru ones? still use it today with no problems, man that things a workhorse haha.. ya Tapout 2, thats what i been playing. If you have a PS2 theres UFC Sudden impact, better than Tapout 2, and Pridefc also pretty good.
Me an my buddy go at it with our own created fighters an everything, in sudden impact you pick your fighters discipline and you can change camps and everything.. best MMA game ever. Theres just not ENOUGH of them!! haha
cool…. no psanything… got a 360… my workhorse died
well you guys are at it you might as well add me too my gamer tag is “rj N shonna” and i challenge anyone who can summon the sack to step up for some Fight Night Round 3. i mostly play on the weekends but if you see me online at anytime send me a msg and play just about anything.
