hmm UFC 80...

Underground
1

free on Spike again? The card looks kind of shitty on paper but I think some of these fights have the potential to be great!

Stevenson vs Penn (LW title)

I'm serious here. Everyone seems to want to count "Daddy" out already but I think he's hungry right now and he'll come to fight.

Gonzaga vs Werdum

Both of these guys are sick on the ground. Could be alot of fun to watch... if Werdum can get it to the ground that is. Or could we see another spectacular KO by the big hairy Brazilian? Stay tuned...

Jason Lambert vs Wilson Gouveia

Both of these guys are coming off impressive victories and are looking to keep that momentum going. Lambert winning 9 out of his last 10 and Gouveia tapping his last 3 opponents.

The rest of the card looks like this:

Marcus Davis vs Jess Liaudin

Alessio Sakara vs James Lee

Kendall Grove vs Jorge Rivera

Sam Stout vs Per Eklund

Paul Kelly vs Paul Taylor

Colin Robinson (yay, someone who likes to strike) vs Antoni Hardonk

Anyone excited about any of these fights? at all?

It's a title fight; if Stevenson can push it to the 3rd he will win.

Samoa.

"if Werdum can get it to the ground that is. Or could we see another spectacular KO by the big hairy Brazilian? Stay tuned."

Gonzaga wins on the ground. Werdum KO'd him last time they fought.

4

looks like a solid card

liaudin vs davis might be the show stealer

5

They were exhausted, if I recall. I believe Gonzaga was winning the fight.

6

Yeah but Gonzaga's standup has improved leaps and bounds since then.... you've got to admit

7

Not a lot of big names on this card, but I'm really looking forward to Davis - Liaudin and Sakara - Lee. Also nice to see good stand up guys Stout and Hardonk on the card.

8

"liaudin vs davis might be the show stealer"

I agree. Marcus Davis is a completely different fighter than what we saw on TUF.

9

Sakara really needs to get his shit together. This might be his last shot.

10

So what the dilly? This free or...?

11

I will not be paying for this card; after 78, Zuffa has to work a little harder than this to get my buck. This is one of those "these may actually turn out to be decent fights" card.

 

12

I'm a huge Davis fan now and I hope his fight gets televised and I think the Robinson/Hardonk and the Paul Kelly/Paul Taylor fight will be exciting. I'm pretty sure Paul will win...

=BF

13

"Yeah but Gonzaga's standup has improved leaps and bounds since then.... you've got to admit"

No doubt, I think he would win standing or on the ground. My point was just that I don't see Werdum trying to take Napao down.

14

Understood.

Be fun to see...

15

It's a fight I'm really looking forward to seeing.

good to know you wont be paying for a free show

17

This is how it will go down.

Stevenson vs Penn (LW title) - Penn takes it due to superior striking

Gonzaga vs Werdum - Gonzaga takes it. I'd say they are roughly equal on the ground (maybe Werdum is a little better), but Gonzaga seems to be stronger and clearly the better striker.

Jason Lambert vs Wilson Gouveia - Gouveia has been impressive as of late. He'll take this one aswell.

Marcus Davis vs Jess Liaudin - Clearly I'll never root against Davis again, so he'll take this one :)

Alessio Sakara vs James Lee - Why is Sakara appearing on every second UFC card? A guy with good submissions against a guy with limited submissiondefense....Lee takes this.

Kendall Grove vs Jorge Rivera - I'm actually going with Rivera in this one.

Sam Stout vs Per Eklund - Finally a Swede in the UFC!

Paul Kelly vs Paul Taylor - This could probably be fight of the night. I'm going with Taylor. He looked very good against Davis (eventhough he lost).

Colin Robinson vs Antoni Hardonk - Hardonk takes it.

18

i've been waiting a while to see stout fight again

19

I like Davis but is he ever going to actually fight a ranked fighter?

20

It's not free cause, it's a bad PPV so I will just watch it online.
