Cro cop is back in the UFC????
February 8th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
i havent heard anything about cro cop being back… if he is he should fight randy
February 12th, 2009 at 8:04 am
there are big names..Hellyea randys back
February 12th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Cro Cop said he wanted to end his career in the UFC with a comeback fight so this could be it, but i see this more happening at UFC 100. Randy should fight at UFC 100 but i understand the Germany connection as well so it makes sense here. Randy should fight Cain Velasquez.

If this is the card for ufc 99 i am disappointed yet again with the ufc’s decision to give us sub par fights for top cost. I expect in a pay per view to see the ufc’s best fighting each other. Not the ufc’s has beens and almosts getting punch drunk trying to earn a retirement check. I want the best up and comers against the best fighters right now.

pretty good card, i think kenny might be able to upset bj on this one, Ace should be able to outstrike wanderlei he is past his prime
February 22nd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
i think kenny will beat bj watch..i am down to bet anyone on it..ken flo all the way..
February 22nd, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I’m basically a fan of all 6 fighters on this card so this is a sweet card for me. I can’t wait.
Hey tom you should go online and gamble at a betting site. I use Betus.com and it’s worked out great for me. I am 7 out of 8 in the last 2 UFC cards, the one loss when I bet on Gouveia. I listened in to his interview and i bought his rap. Guess I was wrong, but you can even bet on the undercards, it’s pretty intense.
February 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I think it’s going to be a pretty stacked card. The rumor after UFC 95 is that Dan Hardy wants to step up and fight Marcus Davis. I hope thats true because it will be a stand up clinic coming from both sides.
February 23rd, 2009 at 12:38 am
Bj just lost and i think Bj will be pissed and kenny is gunna have a very hard time. kenny got dominated by sherk and sherk got dominated by Bj. Kenny is a lot weaker than GSP. i dont see him beating BJ. But he has been on a roll and i could see him giving BJ some troubles with hsi kicks and elbows.
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:45 am
dan Hardy vs Davis..AKA the UK killer..he beat Both of the only to good fighter in his class from UK like Paul kelly and paul taylor..I think Dan vs Marcis would be freaking sick..
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:47 am
i think Bj is going to look pass Kenny, also think Kenny is faster then BJ, Kenny is more well round on the feet with kicks and knees and elbows and when it hits the ground i think they were be about Equal..
Kenny in the 4 or 5 by TKO

March 16th, 2009 at 5:50 am

March 16th, 2009 at 7:05 am
Bispings a prick? lol british mma has leaped forward since bisping came a household name, alot of british people who dnt know what mma is stil know who michael bisping is. Future middleweight champion. Your see.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:06 am
no way that bisping beats silva… LEE MURRAY ANYONE???
YEAH HES BRITISH ahhahaha
March 21st, 2009 at 4:14 pm
yawn…boring! This is shaping up to be a free Spike special
March 26th, 2009 at 7:39 am
great card…can’t wait
March 30th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
after this fight Franklin will never face another fighter with the last name SILVA
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:28 pm
lol jack this silva franklin will destroy KO
April 6th, 2009 at 8:24 am
this is an international event and should be free on spike i hope
April 6th, 2009 at 9:10 am
I believe Cain is fighting Heath Herring…
April 20th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
who does franklin fight if he wins shogun maybe vera we all know wandy’s going 185 so maybe he’ll get yushin okami
April 20th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
i think wandy would wreck okami. Wandy’s still as dangerous as ever i just think his chin is diminishing like chucks so if a good striker lands he prolly goes out but against ushin i don see him getting rocked at all.
April 21st, 2009 at 12:38 am
Okami was messing Franklin up at the end of the fight and if he would have attacked at all in the first or second he would have finished franklin. Okami is good and he could rock wandy. But it would be fun to see. Although Okami is boring to watch at times wany would make the fight exciting.
April 21st, 2009 at 12:38 am
Shogun is a horrible match up for franklin. Rich would get beat up bad.

May 10th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
well who’s next if franklin wins give me 3 good names of who he’d go against
May 17th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
i’m thinking jardine now
May 18th, 2009 at 12:02 am
ya franklin should fight jardine once they both lose to wand and thiago silva
May 18th, 2009 at 12:02 am
jk i think jardine will beat thiago
May 20th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
franklin will beat wandy for sure…………and if he beats him i think he wins 2 or 3 more fights and gets a title shot

Is the Cro cop thing really true? I have heard he is back in the ufc but UFC.com does not have him on it and Al Turk is no longer listed as fighting in ufc99 on the website!!
May 31st, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Yeah its true. I haven’t heard anything about the fight being cancelled.
May 31st, 2009 at 5:09 pm
why isn’t cro-cop v al-turk main card material?
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:25 pm
supafly they are on main card check ufc.com
June 10th, 2009 at 4:17 am
I’m surprised Ben Saunders is on the main card. Swick I can understand.
June 10th, 2009 at 7:04 am
I mean, there fighting each other, so if one’s on the main card, the other has to be right?
June 10th, 2009 at 8:28 am
wow ben is a legit fighter and I am happy to see him start fighting upper party of 170..swick can’t walk throw ben..it will be a war in the first round…it will end in the 2 or early 3..
June 10th, 2009 at 9:21 am
My picks:
- Franklin
- Swick
- Velasquez
- Davis
- Cro Cop
June 11th, 2009 at 8:21 am
this card is fucking badass…
June 11th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I just watched Cro Crop’s kick of death video highlight reel on youtube, and I really hope he comes back like the old Cro Crop. When he knocked out Wandy with that vicious high left leg kick, man, thats what I call beautiful violence. I want Davis to shove Hardy’s teeth down his throat. I think little Caol Uno is going to suprise us with a few comeback wins. I want Cain to win, because, even though I hate Lesnar, Kongo has no chance in defending Lesnar’s takedowns if they face off. Plus I want to see the guy everyone is calling “The next prodigy of the sport” actually come through and show us something. Something more then BJ Penn could. Something about Saunders rubs me the wrong way. I love the way Saunders fights, but I want Quick Swick to to dominate, quickly. For the main event it’s so hard to pick. I want Anderson Silva to jump in the cage and both Franklin and Wandy to beat him down, being declared Co-Champions of the Middleweight division, er the 195lbs division. But if that doesn’t happen I want Wandy to show his old self and kill, because I don’t want him going away. Rich Franklin loses and it’s no big deal really, well it will be to him, but I just hate hearing that Wandy is nearing the end. so War Wandy! Pretty excited for Saturday if you couldn’t tell.
June 13th, 2009 at 6:55 am
Ben Saunders ? what a loser … IM GOING WITH Silva…Swick ..Kongo ..Fisher cause i like him ..Davis AND Cro Cop
