also at ufc 84 wandreli silva vs keith jardine
February 18th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
i dont think that fight is confirmed yet but i bet your right on it anyway.
February 22nd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
I heard Lidell was supposed to fight jardine…?
February 23rd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
nope Silva/ Jardine has been confirmed by Silva on his website and it is happeneing…Lets say Jardine wins (which i sincerly doubt) and Liddell wins his bout against Shogun (which I also dont think will happen) they will have to rematch to tell who should get a title shot at the winner of Griffin/ Rampage
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Thats a possibility and if Jardine wins then Chuck would probably have to fight him before getting a shot at the title. I Chuck wins and Jardine loses then I think they will give Chuck an automatic shot at the title.
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:39 pm
If chuck wins and Jardine loses then chuck should most definitly get a title shot, coming off two big wins over 2 better opponents than anyone else in the LHW divison has fought consecitvely

Penn in 3
Tito Ortiz in 2
W Silva in 2
T Silva in 1
Sokoudjou in 3. 3 rounds to 0
March 5th, 2008 at 8:41 am
i agree with Johnny V but i think tito will win by a split if he wins but sherk is going to beat bj in the 3
March 5th, 2008 at 10:23 am
bj penn,ko/tko.
if tito takes down & mounts first tito tko by elbows, if it goes the distant machida by sub tito will get tired and sloopy.
w.silva if he get in close left hook /upercut tko or ground in pound. if not and it goes the distant jar by diss.
T. Silva by ko/sub either way Rashads first loss 1
Sokodjou by tko/ko.
March 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
all and all i like this card a lot but i do think penn, lyoto, wand, silva, and the nakamura will win the african assassin does not impress me at all especially after the lyoto fight
March 6th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
i agree with you colin except for the african assassin part i think he takes this one although he did look bad in the lyoto fight.

March 11th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Although I like BJ Penn a lot, there is no way he would smash GSP. GSP has the skills to avoid an early end (I know, I know, he didn’t with Hughes) and BJ could not keep up the pace for the duration.
March 11th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I dont know, I think they definitly should have a rematch. BJ is definitly stepping up his cardio and I think could keep pace with GSP, it would be a sick fight!
March 11th, 2008 at 9:47 am
i don’t think it would be a easy fight for bj against gsp but i think he has already proven he can hang with him and with better cardio i think he wins it in a tough fight.
March 11th, 2008 at 10:26 am
its tough to call because both of these guys have been so good lately. my gut tells me that bj would find a way to win.
March 11th, 2008 at 11:56 am
i agree it would be a good fight and i love the prodigy but i dont think right now anyway he can beat gsp
March 12th, 2008 at 10:10 am
THEIR FIRST FIGHT GSP SAID NOONE HAS EVER DOMINATED ME “NEVER” FIRST ROUND BELL RANG AND BJ PENN CAME OUT AND DOMINATED GSP BRADDAMANS FACE WAS ALL BUST AND AS WE ALL SAW THE PRODIGY GASSED OUT BUT BJ HAS A NEW ATTITUDE AND IS NOT JUST DEPENDING ON TALENT ALONE BJ PENN PLUS GOOD CARDIO EQUALS A GOOD BUTT WHOOPING FOR GSP
March 12th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Did everyone forget that HOUSTON ALEXANDER who I used to watch beat guys up in downtown Des Moines at a bar that had a ring, walked into the ring and made Keith “the dean of retarded nicknames” Jardine look like a kinda tough high school kid in about 90 seconds. Lets not give the man too much credit. Silva gets a KO in the second round after “the Axe Murder” (filed under awesome nickname) gives him hope and then blasts his face off in the second round.
March 12th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I forgot, Tito gets Embarrassed and takes his over the hill show down the road to Elite XC.
March 18th, 2008 at 11:23 am

March 18th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
stevieo your right about The Axe Murder. but you are way wrong on tito. tito goes in takes Lyoto down and “blasts his face off in the second round”
March 19th, 2008 at 11:46 am
B.J. Penn wins 1:31, 4th Round (TKO). Penn Is Ready to defend his title which he fought so long for. His preparation to prove dominance is over Sherks prepartion to prove he can still fight with out ‘roid raging the entire fight.
Wanderlei Silva wins 3:31, 1st Round (TKO). Because Jardine isnt as good as he thinks.
Lyoto Machida wins 2:31, 2nd Round (Submission). With wins over B.J. Penn and Rich Franklin, Machida is hard to deny. Ortiz will take the walk of shame down to loser lane. Where he’ll probably just die his hair some more.
Thiago Silva wins :33, 1st Round (K.O.). If I was Evans I’d rather fight liddell. Silva has not lost and will not lose any time soon against Evans or Mendes. Even though a lack luster preformance in previous fights, Mendes just isnt ready.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:48 am
RIC, I cant say I disagree with you about Silva. I think he could very well be the next light heavy champ if he gets a shot. Good striker and he also has good ground game. He proved against Houston that he can take down a great striker and put him out quick. I think Silva may be the guy that everyone is overlooking and I wish he would have gotten a chance to fight evans because I think evans has a much better chance of beating liddell than he does of beating silva.
March 25th, 2008 at 9:42 am
BJ Penn will beat Sean Sherk as long as he keeps the fight on the ground…Sean Sherk is way too strong against B.J. Penn but if it goes to the ground Sherk is getting choked out
Silva will beat Keith Jardine simply because his stand up is better…i dont care if Keith Jardine beat Chuck Liddell or not he’s not going to be able to keep up with Silva
Lyoto Machida hands down is going to beat Tito Ortiz
Wilson Gouveia is going to win
Thiago Silva will win as well because of his heavy hands
March 25th, 2008 at 9:54 am
erik i disagree with you on the sherk fight, sherks only chance is on the ground even though i think b.j. can beat him there too but if sherk stands with b.j he has no chance b.j is way better with his hands than sherk will ever be.
March 28th, 2008 at 7:53 am
roy you have a good point on B.J. having better hands than Sherk but you have to understand that Sherk is a VERY VERY strong guy….he started out heavyweight and worked his way down….in the end though it wont make a diffrence because “the prodigy” is going to choke him out in the first or second round
April 8th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
i see silva destroying jardine…i know jardine beat chuck but i think that was a fluke…most boring fight of all time by the way…but i just dont see jardine lasting long with the axe murderer…machida and tito will be a good fight…and good test for machida…sokoudjou didnt impress me against machida…i think tito will bring more to the table against machida than sokoudjou did…and i hate tito so i hope he gets beat…as for sherk and bj…bj dominates stand up and sherk takes it to the ground and gets choked out at the middle of round 2
April 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am
ROY is right BJ outstruck GSP standing tatoo his face about 5 different colors in the 1st 2 rounds of their fight. SHERK is’t good on his feet and doesn’t have the jujitsu to hang with BJ on the ground. MMA is not all about bench presses and dead lifts.
April 9th, 2008 at 9:34 am
machida is goin to crush tito…lyoto is no joke…so what do people think about the recent fedor vs. tim sylvia fight?
April 9th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I hope SYLVIA goes BALL’s OUT he has the size and power to KO any one on EARTH (yeah I said it) He doesn’t come into fights in shape and mentally he seems like he is just cruising through fights trying not to get KO’d himself. FEDOR is the FAVORITE, but if SYLVIA comes to fight FOR A CHANGE he can make it interesting and re-establish himself.
April 11th, 2008 at 11:45 am
i hope bj wins but hes going to have to put on one good fight to do it and ortiz i hope he gets his ass kicked
April 18th, 2008 at 6:31 am
I am going to agree with Achilles, first things first let me state I hate watching Tim Sylvia fight, NOW, back in the day he was a force. If that force shows up and brings his a game and doesnt look all flabby and tired he could gie Fedor a fight. Lets remember that fedor has been beating up crack heads and street hustlers for a few years now like kimbo slice. It will be a change for him to get in the ring with someone who can actually bring that big knockout punch, only time will tell. I also think that Machiada beats tito. Tito has been focusing more on his ex?-pornstar girlfriend and trying to make friends with all the other has beens on the apprentice and not getting ready for what could be a crossroads fight in his career, lets face it, his last five fights counting this one, two wins over ken “the worlds most undangerous man” shamrock. A embarrassing defeat at the hands of chuckles and a draw with rashad, who i still maintain is overrated until he beats an elite fighter which may come soon, and there is this fight that he SHOULD in my opinion lose, so tito may be taking his football and going hom eif this doesnt go his way. I am also excited to watch silva knock jardines face clean off, should be a devastating knck out.
April 20th, 2008 at 8:10 am
I like BJ Penn a lot, And I hope he will win …
May 7th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Yeah, Tito is going to lose and go home crying. You can’t hlpe but root against him. He has the worst personality is the biggest baby. This is a far cry from when he was a fan favorite and the UFC Champ. How far he has fallen. Once he started making money and getting famous, he lost his interest in fighting. He is now interested in making movies, being on TV, and partying with jenna (not a huge deal, a lot of guys have
) He cries that he should be paid more…how about winning jerk? How about being a contender again? Maybe is you can beat someone other than Ken, who should have retired after the WWE, then maybe your paycheck would be bigger.
My predictions from the Main Card:
BJ Penn
Silva
Machida
Gouveia
Silva
The only interesting thing from the Prlim Card is to see if Sokoudjou will finally win in the UFC. Other than that the Prelim fights suck.
May 12th, 2008 at 9:15 am
This card isn’t bad but THIAGO sholud be fighting either MACHIDA or TITO someone to propoel him to the top 5.
May 12th, 2008 at 10:54 am
I agree in the future i see Silva being the champ, I think hes that good. Heavy Hands, great ground game, experience, and youth. Hes gonna be tough
