[The Man]

UFC 72 in week, card is kind of weak other than the main event IMO. ESPN2 doing the weigh-ins live at 7 p.m. on Friday for the first time ever. The UFC 73 "Stacked" card looks good, Marquardt v. Silva, Rashad Evans v. Tito, and Franca vs. Sherk. Stephen Bonnar and Florian are fighting too, but no opponents announced yet.

Shogun to UFC?

sweet, he is awesome.

Chuck - Shogun or Rampage - Shogun II would be nasty. Also, Mauricio would have the chance to avenge his only real loss to Babulu.

 

[Romanowski]

wow, I wonder who he'd fight, and if he'd fight at 205...I would love to see him fight Rampage. I think he would've given him a better fight if not for the injury. I'd also like to see Shogun fight Vera...infact, I'd like to see Vera fight anybody. That dude is legit.

Can't wait for Saturday - my bro got us tix - can't wait to watch Chuck w/ the TKO in round 3

Elite XC: June 22 Shamrock vs. Baroni (full card)


Frank Shamrock vs Phil Baroni
Joey Villasenor vs Marilo "ninja" Rua
Cung Lee vs Tony Fryklund
Paul Buentello vs Carter Williams
Duane Ludwig vs Paul Daley
Charles "Crazy Horse" Bennet vs Joe Boxer
Mike "Quicksand" Pile vs Aaron Witherspoon

That is a pretty sick card if you ask me.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Negative, Ghostrider.

Your right. Quinton wont last till round 3.

The Buentello/Williams fight interests me just to see how Carter's kickboxing background translates in an MMA fight against a vet. Carter is a beast in K1 though.

I am really looking forward to the Burkman/Parisyan fight as well on Saturday. That should be a really good fight as well.

same here bro...I think it's going to be a brawl. I see Burkman coming out swinging. I don't think it'll go to the ground unless Karo tosses him down there with some judo throw.

For those who may be interested (it is ESPN afterall ), looks like they have launched an MMA page in conjunction with Sherdog.com. it's a decent run through, a lot of leadup stuff to this weekend's PPV, plus an interview with Fedor on there.

The fastest-rising star in the world's most controversial sport, Chuck Liddell

I stopped there.

I stopped there.

Well, yeah, that lame line came from the article that a woman wrote for ESPN the Magazine. It seems that most of the other content on that site comes directly from Sherdog though.
