I'm sure ratings will be decent...I'll be watching. I'm sure the whole point of this is to promote Ultimate Fight Night.

DrumzCT · 08-01-2005, 07:04 PM

I missed when Nate fough so I'm excited to see him fight.

I was so pissed when he got injured.

I can't wait till Nate eventually fights Diego and shows him how TUF should have ended.

These fights were selected for a reason. Four of the fighters will be fighting in a free televised event on Saturday. While many of the users of this forum might be considered hardcore fans, most of the country knows nothing about the sport.

The best way to introduce people to the sport is to show them a technical fighter like Salaverry while explaining what is going on. Then they'll get, what will probably be, their first taste of live fighting on Saturday.

Be patient my man. Sometimes the train has to stop to let other people get on board. Check out some of the upcoming programming. We'll be back up to speed in no time.

If Salaverry wins he should be up for a title shot i dont know if hes a ww or mw but would certainly be a challenge for Franklin or Huges.

Rahkus · 08-01-2005, 07:18 PM

He is a Middleweight but he has nothing on Franklin.

LuvMyCRX® · 08-01-2005, 07:21 PM

Lodune Sincaid has no business in the same octagon as Nate.

The guy has sick submission skills so he has a shot.

Thrash13 · 08-01-2005, 08:07 PM

I have not seen any of these fights before, so I am very excited to see them tonight on Unleashed.

As a new fan, I could care less what fights I see. I just enjoy it all, and you never know when that next big star is going to emerge. I think all the guys who step into the octagon are pretty badass to be honest.

Looking forward to it.

Bigpoppy · 08-01-2005, 08:12 PM

Your gonna be very impressed with Salaverry.

I agree with Thrash13. As a semi new fan any fights that I can see to expose me to more fighters is good. It's obvious the UFC is still trying to ride the wave of TUF by featuring the non winning fighters that the still casual fan will recognize. Plus I still would like to see the undercard fights from TUF finals.

these are all old fights, ultimate fight night is live on spike on the 6th.

as far as the fights tonight, i say the more the better. it would be nice if every fight was a great fight but that is not the way it is with any sport. at least more people are being exposed to the sport and what it has to offer. besides it makes the great fights even that more amazing to watch.

DrumzCT · 08-01-2005, 11:09 PM

Game time! Get in the chat guys!

Rahkus · 08-02-2005, 12:31 AM

I really liked Nate Quarry's composure tonight. He was as focused as I've seen a fighter. It reminded me a lot of Randy. I'm really looking forward to his fight with Pete Sell at the Ultimate Fight Night. Let's see how he handles an opponent that is very capable of beating him. It should be interesting.

tufgirl14 · 08-02-2005, 01:04 AM

Cant wait till the 8th- thanks for that schedule by the way - Ive been wanting to see that first Randy vs. Pedro fight. I'm looking forward to all of the upcoming fights on Spike! Not to mention UFC 54 ppv! This is a great month for the UFC, MMA in general as well I think.

DrumzCT · 08-02-2005, 10:15 AM

Definitely a good month for MMA.

Nate was great. Very strategic, just picked his spots and picked that guy apart. Very focused, composed. Great jab, great kicks. I'd like to see him on the ground a bit more to see what his subs are like.

Quarry is going to be a top fighter no doubt.
