ha, good stuff. I cant believe Pat Smiths kick didnt make the cut. I was hoping to see that again.

Just watched it. Great episode. I dunno... some of these guys you can just look at and for some reason you can just tell that they can go and Mike Bisping is one of them. Mike was all over Kristian from the start and after he cut Kristian's head wide open... I knew it was over.

MURP...

Don't know if you caught the previews to next week's episode but it looks like that Ortiz/Shamrock truce is coming to a grinding halt. I hope Tito kicks Ken's teeth down his throat. Can't wait for next week.

MURP · April 28, 2006, 05:22:27 PM

oh hell yeah I did catch the preview. I really hope they go at it right then and there... but it also looked like all the team members got in between them to break it up. And we pray.

im not sure if last night was a new episode or not, but it was great to watch. i can't believe that guy got knocked out. shamrocks team can't get a break.

freakin cable went out 20 minutes into this past episode. Guess im gonna have to catch the replay at some point.

finals are on next sat night live on Spike. Should be 2 good fights and then a bonus fight from season 1 winner.

also... Tito and Shamrock to fight in July. oh yes.

Can't tell you how many times I've thought of bumping this thread.

Yeah, I'm pulling for my boy Bisping in the light heavyweights. I like Josh, but I think Mike has loads of potential in the UFC, IMO. It was funny as hell when Dana was looking for someone to replace Matt in the semi-finals and Tait and Kristian turned him down... Dana says he "knows someone" who will definitely jump at the opportunity. I honestly was stumped as Ross never entered my mind. Then they just show him walking into the office. He barely even let Dana get the question out before he was lik, "Let's do it, man!" Good stuff.

Mike then commenced to kicking the shtein out of him, but hey... Ross caught him with a helluva shot in the beginning.

As far as the middleweights... I like both Kendall and Ed, but I guess a little more of me wants Kendall to pull it out. Funny though... as much as they build Ed up as some kind of badass... he's looked alright, I guess... but I was expecting him to look better than he has. I know that sounds funny since he submitted both guys he's fought, but he's had a pretty easy road to the finals by facing two of Tito's weakest guys. Kendall really showed his skills by beating Kalib... I didn't think he would. That was a great fight, btw.

Oh yeah... Kenny Florian was in the season 1 finals, but Diego Sanchez kicked his ass to take the title.

I'll tell you what, I've never ordered one of the UFC PPV's but I'm tempted as hell to order Ortiz/Shamrock 2... they were smart as hell to give Tito and Shamrock's feud some airtime on the show that leads up right to the PPV. As ovbious a move that it was... I gotta admit, it's probably worked on me. I can't wait for that.

Oh yeah... Ed gets props for pissing on Rory's headgear and not telling him about it.

Well the Tito/Shamrock fight was over way to quick. Reminds me of the old Mike Tyson pay per views. Looks like there may be a 3rd fight between them. There better be.

I'm still not sure if it was stopped too soon. Shamrock was taking elbows a plently to his face apparently without defending himself, but I would have let him take a few more before calling it.

The fight between the Josh Burkett and Josh Neer was probably the best one.

MURP · July 09, 2006, 05:39:56 PM

technically the ref did the right thing. 5 big elbows to the head like that without defending yourself is reason to call the fight. Cant blame the ref even though id have loved to see it go on knowing Shamrock has taken big punishment before and most likely wasnt hurt from the elbows. Basically it just sucks for the fans.

how about the amount of blood in the first fight? ha.

Drunkmasterflex · July 09, 2006, 07:37:34 PM

All of the fights were awful, the two main events were especially bad. I understood why the ref stopped the fight but you could tell that Shamrock was not hurt. The last fight was awful I expected much better. I guess the biggest thing that came out of the fight was the potential Silva/Liddell fight that would be friggin sweet.

The best thing is everybody seemed to want to bleed in the same spot.
