Guess you never got in a street fight then retard. Anyway, no one gives a fuck about your opinion in here.


What do you guys think about Evans vs. Rampage?

that's going to be a badass matchup but seriously Machida needs to be in there first! And he probably we'll. Jackson is going to need some rest.

Rampage or Liddell will get winner of Evans x Machida (which will be Machida by domination)

More good news!!!

With Quinton Jackson's Hand Injured, Could Evans vs. Machida Be a Done Deal? | www.cagepotato.com

Even though he wasn't one of the six fighters who received medical suspensions after UFC 96, Quinton Jackson reportedly injured his hand during his decision win against Keith Jardine, making a May title fight against light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans even less likely. Adds Sportsnet.ca:

A banner on UFC.com Sunday showed a picture of [Evans and Jackson] with the title "UFC 98: Evans vs. Jackson," and the matchup was listed on the website's fight card page. However, Monday the banner had disappeared and the UFC 98 fight card listed Evans' opponent as "TBD."

Rampage's hand injury adds to a lingering jaw injury that he sustained while training for his UFC 92 fight against Wanderlei Silva. It's hard to imagine he'd be anywhere close to 100% by May 23rd. But that doesn't seem to bother Rashad Evans, who is already mentally preparing for the UFC's other top light-heavyweight contender, Lyoto Machida. As Sugar told Sherdog:

The kid’s been phenomenal. He’s been better than phenomenal. He’s been looking better every fight. But that’s the fight business. That’s the fun part about a fight is the fact that you go in there with an opponent that sometimes seems insurmountable. But then you figure it out and that makes the victory that much sweeter. With that said, there may be some kinks in his armor that I have yet to see that I can exploit when I look at the tapes more closely. Machida’s been looking slicker than I don’t know what, but everybody has a weakness even if you do look slick as oil. Everyone has a weakness.”

Rashad also discussed what was going through his head during the infamous face-off that followed Jackson's defeat of Jardine:

“I didn’t expect any of that, man. I was just going to do the face-off and what not but then he started talking trash. I wasn’t even in the mood to play or joke around, I just saw one of my best friends lose a fight which I had him winning until the last 10 seconds. I see the hurt in [Jardine’s] eyes and he’s so upset and he’s disappointed and I feel, like, bad for him. Then this dude is bumpin’ his gums at me, and honestly, I really wanted to punch him in his face, but I knew that wasn’t the right time to do that so I just tried to stay as composed as possible because I don’t like to talk trash. Whenever I got into a street fight I never talked — I just hit. I never liked to be in someone’s face that close just talking.

I'm sure that you've been made aware of this but your screen name suits you.

you're right

[Mtriple]

holy shit I'm a retard!

Well we agree on that. Do you really feel the need to express your "opinion" wherever you go?

Go start a boxing thread Chief.

Hell YES!!!! Justice is served! It's Official. Another Brasilian will now be holding a title in the UFC!

"UFC president Dana White on Wednesday told Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole that the UFC 96 post-fight pain in Jackson's jaw turned out to be torn ligaments that will require surgery and five weeks of no contact. Jackson also hyperextended his left elbow in the Jardine fight.

As White confirmed on Saturday night, if Jackson was unable to accept the bout, they already had Lyoto Machida waiting in the wings, already agreeing to take the fight."

All that money and no time for driving lessons. Sucks for him and his family. Wonder if the other driver will be charged with anything? Oh well. At least we still have Punk-ass and Skyscraper. The MMA clothing line will go on.;)

Other driver was arrested on something like gross vehicular manslaughter.

I feel bad for these guys. They are all local to me and built a business up on nothing but hard work and sweat. I've met Punkass and he's a cool guy, down to earth, not like the TV persona (marketing) but even if you watched the TV show you'd see they really care about their fighters etc.

I'm using their story in school to teach kids about how consistent hard work can pay off.

Crap can happen to anyone and we all have times when we think we are invincible (especially behind the wheel) drive safe everyone.

That really blows. RIP Luis. I hate seeing shit like this happen.
