I'm new to MMA watching; didn't even catch the significance of Mirko's entrance theme... -

Mirko entrance theme was the PRIDE theme song. PRIDE is the rival organization of UFC in terms of fighter talent worldwide. Lot of rumours of PRIDE being acquired by UFC and that will probably stir them up some moreComment

I've been exposed to at least that much, but I didn't recognize the tune...Originally posted by the giant one View Post
Don't you think more than one major organization with TV is good for the sport?Comment

i do. and if UFC were to acquire PRIDE, i think they would run it as a seperate company. Plenty of money still to be made from that name as well .Originally posted by neils7147933 View PostComment

What about EliteXC? They've already got a national TV deal...Originally posted by the giant one View Post
How do UFC and Pride contracts work anyway? By the fight? Multiple fight deals?
Can someone still having to fulfill their contract take shows on another federation's shows? What about the guys who don't get TV time - can they still take indy shows?Comment

It was pretty good.
It still feels like the twilight zone how Jackson and Mirko came to UFC. Hopefully White just sends contracts to everyone and gets Fedor, Barnett, Minutauro, Randleman, Hunt, Shogun, Wand, Gomi etc to fight here.
Pretty much tailor made run of the mill matches tonight. The only real bit of drama was watching Lutter take Silva down and the whole arm bar escape ordeal. Jackson wobbled Eastman a couple of times before catching him and stopping him, Mirko just hunted Sanchez down, Huerta rushing Halverton looked like the biggest fix of all time....I think Halverson just collapsed with fear when he put his hands over his head.
I want to see Chuck v.s. Rampage, Cotoure v.s. Silvia, GSP v.s. Nightmare etc.
UFC is starting to actually be pretty good.

rampage striking didnt look to be as sharp as it used to ( i think it was due to the fact he was insanely nervous) and cro-cop would have made anyone look like they were tailor made for him tonight with the exception of fedor! who really cares about the huerta/halverton, both guys sucks and have no real chance of winning a belt!Originally posted by RunW/Knives View Post
if you blinked, you would have missed the terry martin/rivera fight, i dont even think the punch landed with that much power, it was a direct shot to the temple, but still.....rivera just broke apart!
the lutter/silva fight just proved my point even more when i say that silva is nothing more than a b+ ( sometimes an A-) class fighter...ive been saying it for a while now that a good wrestler who can keep his distance and trade, would beat silva to a decision.....filho, kang, and even misaki are good enuff to take silva imho-Comment

i also had edgar losing aganist tyson griffin....i think that last round was bull****, he got hit in the balls, and ****ing the ref made them keep fighting and tyson pretty much got his ass kicked after that up untill tyson had that sick leg locked that could have paralleized griffins...i dont care much that tyson lost because edgar will not be able to fight in another 6-12 months, where as, tyson will be able to fight by next month!Comment
