UFC 43-Meltdown

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I just got done watching all of it.
Cotoure dumped Liddell. I was goin for Randy on this one, now Liddell will get off of Tito's nutz.

Vernon White beat Ian Freeman..but it was declared a draw.

Tank vs Kimo
I was hyped up about this one, but it turned out to be quick with a submission. Tank was choked out, and I don't even remember him throwing one punch.

*Best Fight*
Belfort vs The Overconfident Shmuck
Vitor wrecked this fool.
He stayed extremely calm for the first minute, just studying his opponent. Then with a flash, two knees to the dome, and a series on puches while Captain No Name was on the ground.
The guy had the hugest gash over his eye, and that shit was deep. Belfort is back with fury...

Best UFC ive seen in a very long time. Vitor Belfort is BACK muthafucka!!!!!

 

[Shark]

Theres nothing like a UFC event....The best entertainment in my opinion...

Now Couture wants Tito to step up....I hope it goes down...

Vitor is got damn barbarian...

 

[Mcleanhatch]

shit, my satelite (direcTV) went out monday and i havent been able to find a guy that can "fix" it yet.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Belfort is sooo vicious with his strikes.
I'd like to see a rematch with him and Liddell.

I just got back from Vegas. I had Ian winning there is no way Tiger won all 3 rounds like the one judge had, but it was a close fight. Eastman's cut was up there with nasty things like Rahman's head after Holyfield. Matt Lindland KOed himself. Wes Simms stomped a mudhole in Frank Mir but got DQd. Rizzo/Telligman was a brawl, I dont know if it was on PPV, but this was a war, best fight of the night.

Other Vegas notes. Thursday night Phil Baroni got kicked outta the circle bar. Tank Abbott and Vanilla Ice were break dancing at the after party. I had a great time.

Rizzo did a hell of a job, i seen that on PPV, it came at the very end. I was pulling for Ian too, it was a fair draw, the Lions Den is whack but i'd like to see Vernon fight some more.

 

[OoODiSeMiNaTeOo]

Yeah that Tank fight was straight garbage... his ass needs to retire already.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Ya, that Rizzo fight was on PPV.

I had tiger for two rounds out of the three.

I am not a big frank mir fan, so im glad he got a heel to the dome.

Tank was sorry.

 

[Alkahol_Gone]

Yeah that Tank fight was straight garbage... his ass needs to retire already.

he shouldn't of came back fucked up his legacy

 

[Don Hollywood Godzilla]

Haha Tanks fighting style was only effective in the old school UFC's where the fighters weren't as hybrid as todays.

Couture tore Liddell a new one.
Liddell could've done a whole lot better if has ass would've listenned to my advice!
The only chink in his armor was that he lacked stamina....

Many times you would see him get tired in the second round.
He was able to beat the lesser oponents....
But I knew it would bite him in the ass against a seasoned vet.
This is why I told his boys he would lose to Tito (even though Tito was ducking him). Tito would've taken Liddell to the later rounds until he gets tired.
Well it didn't have to be Tito, Couture did the job.
Either way, Couture had a major advantage coming down from fighting heavyweights.

Tito's finds himself in a tougher spot after having ducked Liddell. I can't wait till Tito and Couture get it on....
My pick? Tito....
Randy already lost to Tito's student....

 

[Shark]

Tito is gonna break bones on anyone who wants to fight him...If that Tito Couture fight goes down Couture will be in a world of hurt...

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Tito and Couture would be great to see.
They are both excellent wrestlers.
Tito has better strikes though (Even though Couture boxed Liddell silly).

I doubt the fight is going to happen though.

Got this info from UFC-Fightnews

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT UPDATE: ORTIZ vs. COUTURE IN THE WORKS!
The light heavyweight division in the UfC is heating up. After Randy Couture (8-4-0 in mixed martial arts) of Portland, Ore., won the interim light heavyweight championship with a technical knockout victory over Chuck Liddell (11-2-0) of San Luis Obispo, Calif., at 2:40 of the third round last Friday in the main event of UFC 43: Meltdown, the division instantly became one of the best in mixed martial arts.

When light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz (13-2-0) of Huntington Beach, Calif., told the UFC he was injured and unable to fight in the last two events, UFC officials scheduled the Liddell-Couture fight because Liddell was the number one light heavyweight contender.

Ortiz continues as the light heavyweight champion and UFC officials said they are working to schedule a fight between Ortiz and Couture for the undisputed UFC light heavyweight championship.

“The UFC light heavyweight division is jam packed with some of the toughest fighters in the world. With Tito as the champion, Randy now the interim champ and with Chuck, Vitor Belfort and Rich Franklin as top contenders, fans should get ready for some amazing fights in our upcoming events,” said Dana White, UFC president.

Rumor is that Chuck might be going to Japan to fight in Pride's Grand Prix.

I think Randy/Tito could be a closer fight than most expect. Randy is strong at Light Heavy. His age would be the biggest concern.
