UFC 79?

t4paN · Dec 2007

So, is anyone watching? Wanderlei Silva faces off against Chuck Liddell at one of the most anticipated matches ever. Guaranteed fireworks! Any MMA fans out there?

adam · Dec 2007

Sittin' here using one of my brothers laptops watching Seinfeld waiting for 10PM to roll around. I'm more interested in the Hewes/GSP fight than I am Liddel/Silva but I know both will be amazing.

79 sounds like the best card yet.

t4paN · Dec 2007

Can't blame you, GSP is representing for you guys. I'm not so sold on Hughes x GSP though, cause I know GSP will win in brutal fashion like the last time. Wand x Chuck is actually much more of a tossup. Either way should be a great night of fights, hope Sokoudjou runs over Lyoto as well.

cholden · Dec 2007

Hell yes! Got a few friends from work coming by in about 20 minutes to watch. We've been looking forward to card for a while now.

le sigh... I'm sick and too cheap to pay for it.

damn!

adam · Dec 2007

While we're on the topic, the gladiator beginning of the PPV opener made me laugh a little. Skip it and just get the ass kicking plz

JDinges · Dec 2007

Nevermind, I ordered it. That was awesome.

Predator mask for the win!... er loss!

oobersli · Dec 2007

liddel fight was great.

cholden · Dec 2007

BOOSH! GSP!

BoBo_the_seal · Dec 2007

One of the Best UFC's I've seen in a long time. I hope Chuck is really back.

GSP BITCHES G FUCKING S P
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYA what a fucking nice fight.

adam · Dec 2007

I'm trying to remember, but did the guys who debuted in UFC last night lose? Silva, Sokoudjou... anyone else?

Good fights all around. The 2 main fights, IMO, were equally awesome.

oobersli · Dec 2007

agree with adam. Silva is still a fav pride fighter of mine, but liddel was just too focused and had too much to lose.

I've been hughes fan for years, but since he's at the point of retiring, I've gotta say gsp is the man to rule the class for a while. His ground game looked pretty good, considering he shutout hughes on the ground!

Now he just needs to send the midget sera into retirement.

t4paN · Dec 2007

Man the Silva Liddell fight was AWESOME! I was really happy that it was a war and not a first round flash KO.. Both fighters looked great. Hope Liddell gets a great last run at the title, Wanderlei still has time.

GSP looks pretty unstoppable right now, he tooled Hughes. He's probably gonna wrestle Serra into oblivion too... Cause I doubt he's gonna stand with him again. He's the mental equivalent of Serra's physical attributes.

Machida was awesome, a pure technician at the arts.

He deserves a title shot.

Martin Henriksson · Dec 2007

really nice event always felt pretty sure that machida and GSP would win but lidell vs silva was really hard to predict. Im a real wand fan so i was really hoping he would pull it off but i still felt that there was a slight edge in favor of lidell because of the style matchup. I agree about machida earning a tile shot, i seriously think he is the most likely fighter to beat rampage and i also think that rampage is the only fighter that has a big chance of beating him.

Now im gonna watch another stacked event woohoo gogo: sakurai, melendez, kawajiri, fedor, akiyama, bustamante, aoki and zentsov!

Soa Palelei also had his debut and looked really unimpressive and lost.

spacemonkey · Dec 2007

Wanderlei was very much out of his game in ufc. To be fair Chuck is far more of a boxer and I think UFC suits his style and he certainly used his reach advantage to frustrate Silva. A bit like watching a Lenox Lewis fight really.

t4paN · Dec 2007

I think Tim Sylvia is a bit more like Lewis than Chuck is. Chuck's counterpunching style is just perfect for Wandy, and he didn't fall in the "come on then" trap Wand tried to set him up like Jackson is.

pliang · Dec 2007

Just got turned off.

Jeff Parrott · Jan 2008

Oh the same subject did anyone catch the Hung Man Choi vs Fedor fight? Just a primer: Fedor is the number 1 ranked heavyweight in MMA. He's also 6 feet tall. Hung Man Choi is 1 and 0 in MMA. He's also 7 foot 2 inches tall. Amazing fight if anyone got to see it. There wasn't much else great on that card though.

Back to the UFC 79, the first fight with the dudes from Louisiana was awesome. GSP is probably the best fighter in the UFC right now. Liddel is still on the decline but he had a good come back fight. Yeah, Brome I think all the new people lost that I can think of.

Martin Henriksson · Jan 2008

Dont agree, the Fedor fight was one of the most predictable and uneventful fights on the card and that is coming from a huuuge fedor fan. Packed card with loads of talent on it and very nice production.
