Looks like alot of good fights to me. Except for Arlovski and Sylvia, I'm sure the out come of that fight will be the same as the first one.

Definitely some interesting TUF match ups. Jardine vs Bonnar looks really interesting.

ya, that is a pretty interesting fight, bonnar vs jardine....thats a hard one to call but im thinkng bonnar will come out on top in that one

What weight are they fighting at? Is Bonnar going up, or is Jardine going down?

And when I first heard about Tanner-Horn (a fight I'm totally excited about), someone was quoting Monte Cox as saying it had only been mentioned but he hadn't even seen a contract yet. That was a week or so ago, so hopefully things have gone ahead.

Just wondering what you guys think of the Tito-Forrest match. I think Forrest might be in a little over his head, but Tito also has not fought in a while. I see Tito ending this one pretty quickly.

It will be at 205. That's what Jardine's last fight was at.

I just don't feel good about Diaz vs. Sherk. It could very well be the last UFC fight for the loser. I hope both guys come out and give it 110% and put on a hell of a fight.

Sean Sherk struggled mightily with GSP, and I'm hoping he comes out on fire. Diaz has lost two fights in a row, both of which could have easily gone his way. I would hate to see him lose three in a row. He will be in jeopardy then.

This is almost a lose-lose for me. It's a win-win as a fan, but I just hope the repercussions aren't too bad after the fight. :/

I honestly don't believe that Dana White has a problem with guys losing fights -- it's more that he hates underperformers who won't mix it up. The loser of Sherk-Diaz won't be any closer to a title shot, but Dana knows they both have fans and they fight exciting matchups, and THAT'S what he cares about (it boils down to keeping guys on the roster who will sell tickets, which is what he REALLY cares about, but the end result is the same).

Thrash13 · 02-24-2006, 04:29 PM

Tell that to Frank Trigg. :/ He nearly defeated Matt Hughes last year. He did get blown away by GSP, but he still hung in there 100%.

I would like to think what you said is 100% accurate, but when looking at the Trigg situation, it's hard to see it that way.

I believe that Hogar, Cummo, Burkman, Stevenson, and Bonnar will be the winners at the UFC UFN on April 6th. And, I think that Griffin, Arlovski, Gonzaga, Terrell, Sonnen, Horn, Parisyan, Ficket, and Diaz will come out the winners at UFC 59. As for UFC 60, I still feel that Matt Hughes will defeat Royce Gracie... :sport-smi I am hoping that they will add some great matches to UFC 60.

Still, these are all fights that are more than a month away. I might change my mind about a lot of these fights between now and the time that we bet on them

I am already having second thoughts about the Ortiz-Griffin match -- maybe Tito will win. Maybe Rashad can beat Sausage Tits. I may switch my prediction for the Tanner-Horn fight. I like Gumby, but Tanner needs a win (IMO). Prangley and Sherk might just as easily win their matches as well.

I am hoping for UFC 60 it's a double main event with Hughes/Gracie and Liddell/Sobral.
That would be 3 months from the February card so it is certainly possible for Chuck and Renato to be ready to fight.

I am hoping that since it is UFC 60 that the UFC will treat it as a PPV to celebrate. Sixty PPVs or events is a good hallmark for the UFC. Maybe they will make it a real spectacle of an event. The double main event that you suggest would be an awesome start. If they could follow that up with some exciting preliminary matches, then it could really take off.

I also want to see The Iceman defend his title three or four times in 2006. I know that could be asking a lot, but I also want to see the same for Matt Hughes, Andre Arlovski, Rich Franklin, and the (hopefully) soon to be crowned LW champion...
