He sat directly in front of you? How did you see past his ears?

Grimmlokk · 07-11-2008, 03:30 PM

I thought the exact same thing=)

So, bunch of news and notes from all over that I have not seen posted yet.

So Cro Cop withdrew from the LeBanner fight, scheduled some surgery on his right elbow. Which has apparently been fucked up for years. And now Mark Hunt is NOT scheduled to fight LeBanner, because LeBanner got injured. Cool beans. What CC said.

Unfortunately I have some bad news– I won’t be fighting at DREAM 5 at all. I was about to face Jerome LeBanner but he decided to fight in K1 against [Semmy] Schilt. Mighty Mo was the alternative and I accepted this challenge, but unfortunately Mighty Mo pulled off from the fight. I was ready to face Mo, but maybe this scenario wasn’t that bad for me at all…

Fedor is supposed to fight 2 more times this year after next weekend. October, and New Years in Japan.

Anderson Silva says he's not staying at 205 beyond the Irvin fight. He only took the fight as a favor to Dana White because they needed someone big for the hastily thrown together show. He doesn't want to stick around 205 because he feels the title belongs to Lyoto Machida, and they are good friends. He is set to fight Okami after Irvin, no date set yet.

Denis Kang is out of Dream 5, he's not sure why they changed it.

The Affliction show will use the unified rule set.

Miguel Torres says he and Urijah Faber will have to fight at some point.

They’re going to let me dominate my weight class and let (Faber) do his thing.

Andrei Arlovski was rumored to be making a pro boxing debut in September on HBO, but that has been shot down. He will have Freddy Roach in his corner for the Rothwell bout and has been working with him, but thus far nothing concrete on an actual boxing debut.

And finally, Fedor has a book coming out. He will apparently reveal his highly secretive training and fighting techniques. I've seen him in interviews before decline to reveal what exactly he does to get so much pop out of his punches with the little wrist thing he does. I assume that's one of the things he'll talk about.

edit: Changed Mark Hunt info since I just read elsewhere that LeBanner got hurt. No replacement has been named yet.

Denis Kang benched and no reason given? Possible money trouble. I know that Dream is barely hanging on to their TV deal. Their first show had the lowest expected ratings out of all 4 major stations.

I went to ufc 78 and sat behind his crew in new jersey, his brother was in the crowd for joes fight. They were a bunch of douchebags and because of that i dislike him. Joe was also at Naga in fall river mass a couple weekends ago. I saw him there, he wasnt competing just watching in the crowd, no one even noticed him. as we were leaving Gabriel Gonzaga was walking back to his car with his family and we stopped a for pictures with him

That's like asking Hitler to help you deal with a couple African-American bullies in elementary school.

Grimmlokk · 07-14-2008, 03:33 PM

Except Hitler was a grown man so could probably actually beat them up rather than just make a lame insult and then declare them beat up.

Grimmlokk · 07-14-2008, 03:59 PM

So on July 26th UFC is showing UFC 84 on Spike.

So on July 26th the second EliteXC show on CBS is on.

I'm noticing a pattern...

Sheaf · 07-15-2008, 04:28 PM

Well, no Rampage-Griffin rematch for a while.

Rampage just got arrested. Apparently he got in an accident while driving his personalized truck and decided to escape. The chase lasted about 5 minutes and ended not long after he shredded one of his tires (yes, he is sponsored by a tire company). Must be hard to flee the scene of an accident as a celebrity while driving a vehicle with your picture on it.

jayrebb · 07-15-2008, 04:34 PM

Wow...I didnt even think that was real at first.

The story is very suspect. Hit and run, maybe. Evading arrest? No way that will stick. Thats a trumped up charge.

If Rampage kept his mouth shut and lawyered up, none of those charges should stick. As long as theres no concrete proof that he hit someone. Which from the pics, the whole thing looks like a farce.

He scratched someones car, drove away with a fucking picture of himself on the truck, evading police? lol with what? His self portrait on the side of the truck? Yeah thats really a guy trying to get away. Rampage isn't stupid, he knows what hes driving and who he is. Smells like racism, and I rarely play that card, because I hate liberals.

whatsamattau · 07-15-2008, 04:41 PM

Your unhindered support of that man goes pretty deep, Jayrebb ; )

Sheaf · 07-15-2008, 04:48 PM

It sounds to me like he was drunk or had something illegal in his vehicle. So he decided to try and get away in his spiffy truck and ended up getting caught.

I guess I should have guessed that you would do something as idiotic as playing the race card before any details are known, Jayrebb.

Kugbok_Fennin · 07-15-2008, 04:53 PM

Arrested in Newport by HBPD...nuff said. Fuck HBPD and Newport PD.

FYI, I would venture to say every fucking cop in those two cities know who rampage is, and what he drives.

I call shenanigans.
