If you do, I will cut your balls off and force feed them to you

They are showing the promo with Chuck and Tito. Both men are talking about how they want to hurt the other one, to K.O the other one. Three years in the making, I hope it lives up to the hype

They are showing some clips of other fighters.....

Kyle and Sims, Diaz and Lawler, Arlovski and Cabbage, and finally Liddel and Ortiz

Rogan is bringing up some good points, talking about Ortiz and Liddel. They are now talking about the situation with Syliva

Dana White talking about Tim Syliva, saying Zuffa still belives in Syliva and that Zuffa takes some responsibity as they booked the fight too close to the hearing.

Tim Syliva is now talking about the fights, wishing the fighters good luck, but saying he feels sorry for the fighters because he is gonna beat them down when he comes back. He said he is pulling for cabbage as he wants to knock him out next time.

They are now hyping up the other fights

Odds are on the fights are

USA Today

Ortiz Liddel 3:2
Lawler Diaz 5:2
Arlovski Cabbage 2:1
Kyle Sims 3:1
Franca Edwards 3:2

Some SWEET ACTIONS on Diaz and Franca. Take Franca with thoses odds and drop some money on Diaz

House Odds

Ortiz -150
Arlovski -200

Man, the house is giving some nice action on the fights too. At 2:1 I'd drop some money on cabbage (although I don't think he will win, at 2:1 its worth the risk)

Sims and Kyle are up

For the record, I give Sims some credit, taking the fight on one days notice

Here we go, ROUND 1

They come out, and Sims throws a high kick. Kyle shoots in for the take down and Sims stuffs it. They are up against the fence and Kyle has double underhooks. Both fighters are looking for some foot stomps. Sims trying for a gillotine choke, and drops you the bottom. He loses it, but tries for a arm triangle and almost gets it. Sims going for submissions and almost got them. VERY interesting. Kyle in Sims' guard, throwing some weak shots, with Sims still going for the arm triangle choke. Kyle with no respect for Sims guard, as he throws some harder shots from the top. Kyle is stuck in Sims guard. Kyle going for a can opener to try to get Sims to open the guard, but Sims is too tall and nothing happens. Kyle trying to stay busy, but we aren't seeing much. Semi boring round so far. BJM is standing them up with 30 seconds left. Wes Sims is really tierd, and gets caught by Kyle, KYLE ROCKS SIMS, SIMS GOES DOWN WITH 2 SECONDS left. Sims went down from being totaly gassed. Sims had nothing left. I guess thats not surprses.

WHOA, they are saying Kyle bit Sims.

There is a BITE mark on Sims chest. Kyle BIT Sims. Whoa, no one could see it. There IS bite marks on Sims chest. Its no question about it, Kyle DID bite Sims, but we can't see where..........

Look for this to be made a NC, Kyle did bite Sims. There is NO QUESTION about it

They are giving an update on Randy's eye. They are talking about how Randys eye has healed up nicely.

They are talking about Phil Baroni and Matt Hughes, saying about how both have up-coming fights in the UFC.

Nick is now talking how he is going to be watching for Robbies k.o shots, but that Robbie sometimes gest sloppy and people think Robbie is better than he actually is

Tim Syliva gave Robbie a hug on the way to the ring. Wow, Robbie looks pretty ripped.

Here we go, ROUND 1

Diaz leads with a side kick. Diaz is chasing Robbie around the ring, Diaz taunting Robbie. Diaz lands a big over hand right but Lawler throws a combo back. Lawler throws back and Diaz fires some shots of his own back. Diaz is keeping his hands pretty low, surprising.

Diaz keeps giving it to Lawler. Diaz pushing the fight standing The clinch against the fence. Diaz landing some shoulder shots against the fence. Diaz keeps playing with Lawler. The are both trading shots, BIG shots. 1 mins left, and the fight hasn't hit the ground yet and Diaz is probably winning the round. Diaz with a combo, and Lawler answers. Diaz has a bloody nose but keeps coming and throws another high kick.

Very close round, I scored it for Diaz but if anyone gives it to Lawler you can't question that. Great round

Diaz is pushing the action, but Lawler is countering nicely. Lawler lands a nice body shot but Diaz coems back with a leg kick. Lawler with shot, BUT DIAZ LANDS A BIG SHOT. THE REF STEPS IN! DIAZ HAS KNOCKED OUT ROBBIE LAWLER

Lawler got up pretty quick and is saying he is ok, but is still wobbly. The fight looked like it was stopped early but I can see why the ref stopped it. Lawlers hands just dropped and fell to the ground like he was dead. I think he was out and woke up when he hit the ground.

I am going to tell everyone right now as someone watching this live. Robbie Lawler was OUT and woke up after he hit the ground.

Diaz is talking about how no one thought he was gonna win by knockout. Diaz came in trying to get Robbie to take him down, but Robbie wouldn't.

Robbie still looks a little shaky. It was a good stoppage, as Lawler just dropped.

Nick Diaz, the new force in the WW divison

They are interviewing Kimo and Shamrock. Talking about UFC 48

Phil Baroni vs Evan Tanner. I want to see that fight badly. UFC 48, Payback. Fitting title

Lee Muarry is gonna be on the card also.

Saturday June 19th

New feature, On the Matt with Mark Laimon.

Interesting, the are discribing some basic submissions.

They are trying to educate people about how the man on the bottom isn't always losing the fight. Discribing the some examples of triangles. See, I think this is how the need to educate people about the ground game. Not introduce celebs who happen to be fans. Good idea, I like it

They are interviewing Robbie Lawler now. Lawler is talking about how he respects Nick and how Diaz came out and fought well. He didn't complain about anything, and just said congrats Diaz, and that he will learn from this, and that he will be back.

Very classy

Cabbage and Arlovski is up next. Doing the usual, hyping up the fight with some past clips of each fighter

Man, Arlovski is the only person I know with a washboard filled in with hair LOL

Here we go, ROUND 1

They come out, and touch up. Feeling out, Arlovski throws a leg kick. Another leg kick, Arlovski is ranging with the jab then jumps in. Cabbage looking to counter, Arlovski is pushing the fight.

Arlovski hits Cabbage with hard Combo but Cabbage seems no worse for wear (aside from a small cut on the ear)

Arlovski lands a high kick and Cabbage just comes forward, like he is mad or something. This looks like Cabbage Syliva. Arlovski is throwing his best shots and Cabbage doesn't seem hurt. The leg kick seems to be whats working.

Round 1 for Arlovski. Man Cabbage ate some hard shots, but doesn't seem hurt at all by them. Cabbage is unreal. Thoses shots would of K.Oed anyone else

Round 2 is delayed as they need to dry off the ground around Cabbages corner.

Round 2

Arlovski lands another leg kick and they continuie the feeling out process. Cabbage is looking to check the leg kick now Arklovski is PASTING Cabbage but Cabbage is still standing but falls for some reason and Mario is stopping the fight.

Cabbage's face looks like he was hit by a cheese gradder.

It seems like an early stoppage but it was really just saving Cabbage from more punishment.

Arlovski wins by TKO at 1:15 seconds of the second round

Listening to Anderi talking in english is really funny actually LOL

Arlovski had a booger hanging out of his noise after the fight. Arlovski looked good tonight and Cabbage looked like a punching bag

Ortiz said he did what he said he would do. He stood in the middle of the ring and stood with Chuck. He is giving Chuck credit and then praises the growth the sport has made. Tito seems beside himself, I don't think he can understand that he lost this fight. This a harsh loss for Mr Ortiz. Not only did he loses, but he got stopped and stopped HARD

They are now showing Sudos fight

wow good for zuffa

Genki Sudo has on a gold robe and some sort of weird mask. Sudo doing it a gain, great enterance

For the record, I hope Mike Brown gets another shot. We didn't get to see much, but I was impressed with what I saw

Chuck aint going no where though, he has no where to go, Couture will stomp him again and that is gonna leave the UFC LHW devision kinda weak unless they bring in new talent.........

Hermes was robbed again by the ufc.

I'm still dancing.....Yeah...Yeah.... Yeah!!!!!!!!! BEST MMA NIGHT EVA!!!!! I"VE BEEN WRONG ALL THIS TIME!!!! There IS a God and he is GOOD!!!!111

No, he wasn't. That fight was closer than the Thomson Franca fight. Honestly, that fight was so close, you can't say anyone was robbed. It was TOO CLOSE

LMAO!

CHuck was ****in' PISSED tonight!!!!

Those high kicks were hurting. Plus it's based on standing and grappling. Did you see edwards doing anything on the ground? All I saw was striking. Hermes did both.

Hermes was throwing shots on the feet, but really....how many of them landed? Edwards stuffed a lot of Francas takedowns, and forced him to pull guard. He also defended well on the ground and was never in any real danger on the feet. However, he never came close to finishing Franca ethier, as Hermes was always coming forward.

That fight was a draw, but it was too close to say he was robbed. Being robbed is a B.S decison. Ricco was robbed, Mezger was robbed against Arona....not this fight. It was too close to say that

Watching Lawler get TKOd made me smile.

He dropped like he was dead. I swear he was out and hitting he floor woke him up

****er has to learn to keep his hands up.

I love it. I love it. I ****ing love it. I damn near had an orgasm when Ortiz got knocked the **** out. It was great.

And no way can anybody say that Franca was robbed. The fight was WAY close. Maybe one of the closest fights I've ever seen. Someone had to lose, and it ended up being Franca. Tough loss for Franca, but you can't really say that he was robbed.

Hermes was pressing the the action Creed, Edwards was just defending. Hermes clearly won you ****ing idiot.

UFC LHW division? Weak? Que? Does not compute.

Belfort, Liddell, Ortiz, Couture. Looks like the exact opposite of weak. I could watch these guys fight in any combination a hundred times over.

How did he win???? Yves just stood up out of his guard. Hermies got him down and couldn't do anything. It was a draw at best.

I don't think anybody clearly won. I think you might be drunk.

Originally posted by Blue Dawg

Dude, I thought it was a draw. It was too close to say Hermes got screwed. Franca won the second round, Edwards the first the action was too close in the third round. Yeah, Franca pressed the action, but he didn't do anything with it. You only get points for being aggersive if you do something with it. Shooting and then pull guard doesn't get you points. In fact, the other guy just stuffed one of your takedowns and made you take the inferior position

That is all Yves did was defend, barely any offence from him at all...

And for the record, if I HAD to pick someone (gun to my head situation) I would honestly pick Edwards.

Because he aleast attemp some subs on the ground. Scoring is for striking, grappling and octagon control. Hermes took edwards down, beat him on the ground and the striking was pretty even. Hermes wins. Only the first round was close if you ask me.

I think intelligent fans such as ourselves should just call that a draw. Neither did enough to win. Hermes had takedowns but Yves got up with relative ease every time.

How anybody who watched the fight can say that anybody got robbed is beyond me. That fight was damn close, nobody dominated any one round, so a draw was impossible. So somebody had to lose. Saying "such and such only did this" is retarded.

I totaly agree. I am just glad it wasn't my job to judge that fight

Fact: Couture is old. He's an awesome fighter, but he's getting old. Father time catches everybody eventually. He's not superhuman. To say that Couture will be dominating all these top fighters for months and years to come is pretty unlikely.

I think you guys know I'm not a big att fan but I still think franca won.

I think the first round is what did it for Yves...That and having another light weight title/contender bout end in a draw would have killed us

I think zuffa wants to have a black champ.

I think Zuffa wants to have no champs.

They should do like K-1.
If it's too close at the end of the regular rounds go in to extra rounds

No State Athletic Commisson would allow that though

Why was K-1 ALLOWED TO DO IN VEGAS THEN.

yeah they would. They do it at K-1 in Los Vegas

K-1 is kickboxing, though. So maybe it's a different set of standards or some ****.

Who knows.....but i like that idea!

It would still be cool to go to "sudden death" in an MMA match

If Arlovski asked me to have his babies. I would.

First of all, I may have been slightly enebriated watching UFC 47, but still, even though Edwards got up everytime, that is a purely defensive manuever. Yves never even tried to mount an offense while Hermes did. He was more aggresive and he took all the chances while all Yves did was defend against Hermes offense. They're both good fighters, but it seems clear to me that Franca should have been declared the winner.
