Anyone in the forum into Ultimate Figting Championships?
Only recently started watching this sport about 6 months ago. Didnt realise it was so massive and still growing in popularity beyond belief.

Im not the biggest fan of the brutality, but what gets me is that there is no cheating like in boxing.

basically, the guy that gets knocked out, is the loser....the other guy is the winner!

    silva beat belfort already.
    GSP needs to beat sheilds

    this will put these 2 together i reckon at middleweight hopefully.

    to quote something i read a while back ..."it doesn?t get any bigger or better than this. It?s like watching Clapton dueling guitars with Hendrix or Marciano going 12 rounds with Ali or Michael Jordan one on one with Lebron. Those events will never happen but this, yes this, can not only happen but there?s a distinct possibility it could happen by the end of this year"

    ill be on silva should it happen

    shields looks good, but GSP looks scary to me. His attention to every detail is frightening.

    TORONTO, April 30 ? By the time welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre finished his UFC 129 main event bout with Jake Shields before a record UFC crowd of over 55,000 fans at Rogers Centre, he looked like he had been in a fight. And two of the three judges agreed, as St-Pierre retained his title by two razor-thin scores of 48-47 and one more comfortable margin of 50-45.

    Entering the bout, St-Pierre had won 30 consecutive rounds. Tonight that streak was broken, but he retained his undisputed title for the sixth time.

    ?His striking was much better than I thought,? said St-Pierre, who injured his left eye in the second round. ?I expected to beat him standing up and then finish him on the ground. I?m sorry to the fans, I wanted a knockout or a submission.?

    TORONTO, April 30 ? It looked like a typical dominant performance for UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo early in the UFC 129 co-main event Saturday night at Rogers Centre, but Ontario?s own Mark Hominick refused to go away, fighting off a series of facial bumps, bruises and cuts to finish strong and leave his own courageous effort as the lasting image of the 145-pound title fight, which was ultimately won clearly and unanimously by Aldo.

    the suprise of the card for me was seeing big nog bring shaub back down to earth with a thud, was one of the more enjoyable cards for awhile.

    Dana said during the week that silva wont be made to go down to fight gsp, ill be happy if he goes to 205 and fight jonny jones. His next defence will be against the winner of chael vs stann
