I still don't understand how people pay $40 for this many commercials on the UFC PPV. It's stupid.

Haalen · 03-03-2007, 10:43 PM

I have never been so happy that I got a prediction wrong

Fedor · 03-03-2007, 10:50 PM

I'm finally a Randy Couture fan.

Theodrin · 03-03-2007, 10:53 PM

What was Tim thinking, trying to jab it out past the 3rd round? he got dominated
Awesome fight by randy!
I hope Randy retires again to not get killed by cro cop!

Lakor · 03-03-2007, 10:57 PM

hahahah that was awesome.

Too bad MacDonald got beat, I had all my MMAplayground money on him

Ameraves Loyalheart · 03-03-2007, 11:02 PM

Man that was awesome. Randy dominated Sylvia in every part of the fight. However, you could see Randy's age starting to show as he really started to get tired around the middle of the 3rd round.

I was expecting Hughes to just destroy Lytle, but he never seemed to get in position to finish him. He definitely dominated him, but I wasn't expecting it to go to decision.

Franklin looked awesome tonight. I am looking forward to him fighting Anderson Silva again.

I just got back from UFC 68. I've never seen a crowd behind someone or something as much as they (we) were behind Randy tonight. He's definitely a hero to fighters, fans, 43 year olds, etc.

when are the vids getting posted I am stuck in a hotel for work and I couldn't get it in my room.

I am so pissed.

MMA-TV - Login has them all on their mainpage for download.

After watching that fight even Chuck Norris doesn't want to fuck with Randy. Really he just dominated Tim. Ever since Mir broke his arm Sylvia has just been sucking.

Lakor · 03-04-2007, 04:07 AM

Wonder if they're going to push CC's chance at the title back a bit so Couture can hold onto it for a fight or two. Couture's probably the most liked guy in MMA, and is great for PPV. The casual fan will know more of Randy than Mirko by far.

edit: Forgot Dana said CC will fight winner of Randy/Tim after he's won his next fight.

I was looking forward to Crocop knocking Sylvia out cold, hopefully that fight will still happen.

Grimmlokk · 03-04-2007, 05:36 AM

Had maybe 10 people here to watch it and when Randy landed that first bomb to start the fight the room fucking *exploded*. He dominated Sylvia from bell to bell, it was great. The fact that Randy absolutely destroyed him with his stand up game for 5 rounds ia mind boggling. Did Sylvia not train at all for this?

The other surprise to me was Lambert dominating Babalu on the feet.

Djaypally · 03-04-2007, 08:11 AM

I'm still trying to figure out how we spent 3 hours watching 4 fights. Did I miss a fight somewhere?
The only reason, up to this point, that my group has kept getting the PPV is so that the results don't get ruined before we see it. The advertisements and lack of actual fights last night I think finally convinced them to buy a DVD burner and just get together on Sundays to watch the fights.

Akileese · 03-04-2007, 10:42 AM

Finally got around to watching Pride 33 (been having some PC troubles lately). Henderson knocked Silva the fuck out. Was pleasantly surprised, but happy none the less. Haven't watched UFC 68 yet. Was the show as a whole worth downloading?

~XtitanX~ · 03-04-2007, 11:05 AM

I'd say yes. I completely forgot that UFC 68 was last night, so me and a couple friends went to shoot pool. Knew something was up when we had to park in the grass on the other side of the road..

Got in, and it had atleast 300 people there, and UFC 68 was just coming on. It was crazy, and when Randy hit Tim with that huge right at the begining of the fight, the place almost shook.

It was halfway decent. I'd pay for it, if i hadn't got it for free!
