Ufc 61

[nayers]

For all of us UFC/MMA fans a couple big fights this weekend at UFC 61. Headliners are Tito Ortiz v Ken Shamrock, and Andre Arlovski vs Tim Sylvia. who do you guys got?

For me, I would love to see Tito lose, but I think Ken's only shot is to catch him in one of his deadly footlocks. I think Tito will be too much for him. Tim v Andre is a tough one to call, I think Andre is the better all around fighter, but it only takes one punch from Tim to knock him(or anyone) out. I am going for Tim Sylvia on this one. We will see, I am a die hard MMA fanatic so I cant wait for tomorrow. thoughts anyone?

This may sound funny, but my wife and I love watching UFC. We watched Ultimate Fighter 3 together and both want Tito to kick Shamrocks A**. My wife thinks that Shamrock is a washed up hag and needs to get his nose fixed. She is awesome. So my choice is for Tito and Tim.

Tito has been my favorite fighter for years. So yea I'm pulling for him, and he should destroy Ken.

I pretty much dislike all Militech fighters, I don't know why. But I really, really, really want AA to win. But man, the HW division in UFC is horrendous.

I really wish they were showing the Kongo-Aldana fight. I think that should be a good one, but Kongo is one of the best kickboxers in the world. He has been fighting out of France for several years now.

I'm just not interested in the remainder of the fights. I'm still debating whether I should order this or not. I really want to, just for the Tito fight, but the rest of the card is just not exciting. But then again, in the past, the cards that don't have the big name fighters many times tend to be the most exciting ones.

Yeah the fighters do not need to have huge MMA names to put on a good show. I will be ordering it tonight with about 12 friends.
I think Tito is going to crush the Shammer, and I pick Andre over Tim. The problem is both times they met previously they it was a momentum swing with one punch, so it will be an exciting fight.

Really? wow, I love almost all the guys who fight in the MFS, they are all pretty well rounded, and right now they are the best team in America with two sometimes three(Rich Franklin) world champs who train with them. The heavyweight division is extremely weak, hopefully Dana will bring over some guys from Pride to compete. The lightweights seem to be coming on strong right now, with Fisher, Melvin, Florian, Yves(I stoked to seem him fight) and Pulver..

The fight that intrestes me the most tonight though is the Frank Mir fight. It will be interesting to see how prepared he is mentally after his last fight.

I like Matt Hughes from Militech but thats about it. I cant stand team Tap Out, those guys are a bunch of punks.

Ken sucks. I really don't like Tito but I think he will win. And Arlovski will beat Tim Sylvia.

What an announcment yesterday regarding Wandy v. Chuck. It sucks that Chuck has to beat Babalu for this fight to happen. I really want Babalu to beat Chuck, but I also want to see Wandy beat down Chuck.

You don't like Chuck the ice man? And how about that Tito fight? It sucked man, Ken is to old to be fighting.

I'm not enamored with Chuck like most are. I'll be rooting for Chuck to beat Wandy, but it will be more like I'm rooting for the UFC to beat Pride. I just can't see Chuck beath Wandy. I don't think Chuck has ever really fought anyone with stand-up as good as his, except for Rampage, and we all know how that one turned out. Wandy is just a much superior striker. If you look at Wandy's career, he struggles with one type of fighter. That is a wrestler, which explains why the only fighters that have really given him trouble are Tito and Arona. But Wandy is able to hand with all stand-up fighters, like he did when he fought heavyweights Cro-Cop and Mark Hunt. Wandy was never out of those fights, even though one was a draw and the other a loss.

I never liked chuck I will be happy to see Wanderlei in the octagon with him. Wanderlei is an animal one of the most exciting fighters to watch.
No surprise on the Tito victory just wished it would have lasted longer.
