Bizarrely enough I was at an MMA Event last weekend in Middlesbrough... crowd must have been 300 and it was a decent show.
Most interesting thing for me about UFC 59 was the mammoth buyrate...

Werdum over Overeem by Kimura in R2 - Overeem had the best of R1 (although Werdum looked pretty good standing) before gassing and getting submitted from the bottom in R2. Hunt over Kosaka by Ref Stoppage in R2. - Best fight I'v seen this year, Rocky style standing action with TK getting knocked down a few times but also coming very close to sinking a rear naked Choke and Kimura on Hunt before gradully getting worn down towards the end of the second. Crocop over Minowa by TKO in R1. Minowa semi hit a koppo kick before getting backed into a corner and beaten down in just over a minute. Fujita over Thompson by KO in R1. Thompson dominated standing for most of the first before Fujita rocked him a few times(blood even ending up on the camara) then landed a massive KO. Yoshida over Nishijima by Triangle/Armbar in R1. Short standup before Yoshida got the takedown and submited him quickly. Barnet over Aleksander by Kimura in R2. Aleksander pumeled Barnet for 7-8 mins in the first before gassing(might have dislocated his hand aswell) and eatting some knees on the ground then being submitted at the third atempt. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira over Zuluzinho by armbar in R1. Nog took him down and pounded him before Zulu pratically fed him the arm for the submission. Fedor is sposed to have gotten a bye in order to recover from hand surgery with Zentsov taking is place if he can't make it. I'd guess a fight verus Barnet is very likely considering he just beat his brother and called him out afterwards. I'd love to see Hunt/Fujita in a battle of the hard hitting ironjaws but I'd guess we might get Fujita/Yoshida to make sure theres a Japanese fighter in the finals. Crocop and Werdum are training partners so I'd guess they will be kept apart aswell. Last edited by Halftime Gold; 08-05-2006 at 05:36 PM. |

Yeah, Barnett said "Fedor, Omae wa shinde iru" Which basically means, "Fedor, you're already dead". NICE, setting up some future match down the line. Off topic, met that guy in Japan once. Hella good guy. Completely gigantic, as well. My guess for the next round, CroCop vs Fedor, Werdun vs Barnett, Hunt vs Yoshida, Nog vs Fujita. But realistically you can have any combination and it'll be gold. Not a dog in that group.

I'm not sure he'd have much chance verus Fedor, Aleks was really smacking him around standing and his big brother isnt going to gas or get subbed so easly. The good thing is that everyone left is legit so no matter how they book it theres no chance we'll see a repeat of 2004 where one guy gets the disadvanatge of a difficult semi while the other gets a nothing one.

A pretty good card overall, I think Fujita v Yoshida is unsurprisingly confirmed for the 2nd round. I still can't believe Sylvia done AA. Anyone watching Mike Bisping on on TUF3? He's looking very good, he should win it. |

Latest word on the second round of the Pride GP is that Fedor won't be fit in time with Wanderlei Silva taking his place.

Word on the street that following Sakuraba's move to K1 that he has signed for a big money fight against Rickson Gracie on New Year's Eve.
Also, Quinton Jackson is fighting Matt Lindland at the inagural WFA show on June 22nd in LA. Also on that show will be the return of Bas Rutten to the ring against that dope Kimo Leopoldo. Ryoto Machida will also be on the show as well as various UFC outcasts.

The big news is that Fuji TV have cancilled Pride's TV deal due to the bad PR from their recent Yakuza scandels. Not sure how much of an effect that will have to the short term considering that I'd guess they earn most of their money from tickets with 50,000 attendances but this could lead to K1 Heroes taking over as the biggest company in Japan/The World I guess.
Shame as the Japanese audience will miss on out a ring enterance at Bushido XI to rival Genki Sudo's best. To view the link you have to Register or Login Last edited by Halftime Gold; 08-06-2006 at 08:51 PM. |

As for Pride, not sure what will happen. I can't see them not being able to snap up a new TV deal as much money as there is to be made. I'll have to email my friend at Dream Stage. Winners in this 2nd round, I'll go with Fujita, Crocop, Barnett and Nogueira.
