Is it me or are Penn and Hughes not at 1-1, should there not be a decider? If Penn can get his conditioning up, would make for 5 rounds much like the pace of the first 2!!

Penn supposidly seperated a rib in round 2, does sound like the old "I was injuried/ill" excuse I know but his decline in the following round was so massive I'm inclined to believe it.
Hughes won fair and square but beyond showing exellent condictioning didnt impress me greatly. It certainly prooved Penn's first win was far from a fluke IMHO considering Hughes was in almost exactly the same situation only to be saved by the bell this time.

True. Nullify his take downs and he doesn't have a lot else. However, he is by far the best at what he does.

I'm catching up on my MMA History, in much the same way as I did when I rediscovered pro-wrestling... my first task is to watch the old UFC tapes in chronological order. After I've caught up with UFC (until somewhere around early 2004) I think I'll try and track down some old Japanese stuff and then move onto the full Pride back catalogue.
Anyways I'm currently halfway through UFC 10 and just wanted to comment on the classic that is Severn vs Shamrock II that headlined UFC 9. The first 20 minutes was stunning and I'm amazed at just how action packed it was... if ever there is a fight to persuade someone that MMA really is entertainment then that's the one

I'm not sure I buy Penn's rib excuse. His reason for not telling his corner is a bit weak. I thinked he just gassed like he did in the GSP fight. It's a shame, because he was schooling Hughes like everyone hoped he would. Best UFC title fight for ages though. BTW, most of the Pride OWGP fights are on youtube, if any of you haven't seen them. |

More on the PPV bonus' that UFC guys get.
The guys with the top billing apparently get $2.50 per PPV buy, which if taken literally based on a buyrate of 775,000 means Shamrock and Ortiz both recieved $1,937,500 for headlining UFC 61. Other guys who are cut into the PPV revenue (some of the TUF guys and other guys who aren't yet headlining) recieve $1.00 per PPV buy.

Apparently got my tickets for next week's Vegas show. My buddy said that she tried to get me the VIP but I got bumped by some real VIPs. We'll see about that. At least the tickets were free. Here's the card as it stands right now:
Phil Baroni vs. Yousuke Nishijima Kazahiro Nakamura vs. Marvin Eastman Robbie Lawler vs. Joey Villasenor Josh Barnett vs. Pawel Nastula Eric Esch vs. Mark Hunt Dan Henderson vs. Vitor Belfort Mauricio Rua vs. Kevin Randleman Fedor Emelianenko vs. Mark Coleman I've also seen rumored a Fujita vs Sean O'Haire fight, but I'm not sure if that makes it.

Watched Rich Franklin get absolutely humped by Anderson Silva at the weekend. Total domination.
Was disappointed to see Cheik Congo lose a decision to an average wrestler who did very little from dominant positions on the ground. Hopefully we will see more of him in the UFC.

The referees need to more consistent over how long they let the ground game go on before they stand the fighters up again. Someone like Matt Hughes always looks pretty busy on the ground whereas others do very little and are allowed to stay in the same position for minutes at a time. Its boring. Its not good for the spectators

There in a nutshell is the reason why I sit in my chair a little perplexed; I see a guy laying on top of another and not doing anything. I know it's real, but it feels surreal when there's so little work rate by the mate only fighters.
Anyway, that was an opinion of a newcomer to UFC
