UFC 76 - KNOCKOUT!!!

[anatta]

I probably shouldn't get this damn fight either. I think they have been pretty good with the free stuff like you say, and TUF is my favorite show, but no way is this worth $40.

Re: Liddell, after loss, they could just want to protect him for future $$$ while at the same time bank on his name in this one.

Wow, are you guys nuts? The main event might be a little weak, but this one of the best cards from top to bottom all summer.

Sanchez/Fitch and Griffin/Tavares, on paper, are fight of the year candidates. Nakamura and Machida is also a high profile matchup. Then you have an easy top 3 pound-for-pounder making his debut in the UFC. Sure, Chuck's fighting a can in Jardine, but we can hope that after he wins, Dana brings Wandy back into the Octagon for a staredown and announce Wandy/Chuck for December.

I'm more excited about this card than I was for 74 or 75, and I was pretty pumped for both of those.

Well that good to hear and I am looking forward to the fight more now. The other fighters you mention, I have seen maybe on other shows, but don't really know them. The UFC did a great job hooking me on this stuff from TUF season one, I feel like I know those guys like out of some soap opera.

Yeah, I am feeling a Wandy/Chuck, those guys are great fighters, might not be the best at this point, but nobody looks as friggin crazy as those two. Fedor! I actually think about this at night when I'm in bed how awesome its going to be. I want Fedor the mad Russian in the cage.

looks like a fun card. main event is crap but at least there will be a quick knockout.

im a big shogun fan and am kind of worried about the griffin fight. if griffin fights the same way he did against ramirez i can see him squeezing out a really boring decision

i like diego in his fight a lot more than most ppl seem to

is tavarez/griffin a prelim? that fight's going to be awesome

Tavares/Griffin will be the opening bout on the main card, I believe.

I said in my analysis of the fight in BBV4L, that if Griffin's going to win if 1) Shogun hurts himself a la the Coleman fight or 2) he's able to stick and move to a (boring) decision. I don't know if he'll be able to though. Forrest really doesn't have incredible KO power that Shogun has to worry about, so he should be able to get in and bang with him or clinch and knee or take him down.

Tyson Griffin is a main card UFC fighter now I think. The lightweight division is pretty solid but most of the fighters don`t want to fight him because he`s a sick fighter.

Wanna come round for it?

How long do these ppv cards normally take? Watched 75 but don't know if that's really a decent indication, don't want to stay up until 3am for the start unless it'll take a while (assuming I can find it on sopcast)

Tyson Griffin v Tavares

I think I got more body fat in my left boob than these guy have in their whole bodies combined.

[anatta]

This is awesome
