Been a huge fan since 99..

UFC 94 was a decent card tbh - Lyoto knocking out Silva in the last second of the 1st round was great, think its time he got a shot at Rashad Evans title.

Penn was always undersized to take on GSP, even thou it was a very close fight last time they fought GSP has improved by a mile and totally dominated BJ who I still believe is a more skilled fighter then GSP!

Looks like Penn will have to stick to 155 where he cant be touched fighting Ken-Flo next..


Anit heard any news about Fedor joining the UFC, and id be very shocked but excited if he did ... I think its a dream that will never develop!


UFN is the next card, has a decent main event with J-Lau taking on Jeremy Stephens who had one of the greatest KO's in his last fight against Don Anjos..

Rest of the Card is just filled up with the usual Ultimate figher contestants.

UFC 95 has the one good main event again with a average card-

UFC 96 has a couple of big names on the card - Jardine Vs Rampage , Matt Hamill, Brandon Vera .. And Gonzaga vs Shane Carwin will be a very good match too big giants of the HW division.

Then theres UFC 97 with Shogun Vs Liddell ..



Oh and my screen name was chosen cos its the nickname of my fave fighter Robbie Lawler..

Cool that this many people enjoy it.  GSP is a beast right now though he's improved A LOT but if he's asked to move up in weight class to fight Anderson Silva he'll probably lose.  Machida definitely deserves a title shot he dominated another undefeated with ease don't see why he shouldn't get one.  His fighting style is strange too keeps his hands really low and his face wide open.

Yeah same thing but more up-market ... Cage Rage still have a Gypsy as an announcer, And no where the caliber of Fighters thats in the UFC.
Saying that many good fighters have appeared in Cage Rage like Belfort, Lindland, Bisping, A.Silva, Lee Murray ... Even Tank Abbott lol

Lyoto has a similar fighting style to Anderson Silva, Both Counter fighters thats very hard to hit ... Would be a good fight between them if they wasn't such good friends.

Cage Rage is :censored:. Although I saw someone on there who used to train at this same gym I used to go to. James McSweeny. He was fighting Michael McDonald.

Anwyay yeah Cage Rage is :censored: compared to the UFC or Pride. I think that Mohammed Alturk or whatever his name is was the Cage Rage champion and he got his face messed up by Chek Congo at 92. :laugh:

Im a bit dissapointed at how Silva is doing though. I knew he was never going to be as dominant as he was in Pride but I didn't think he would be doing this badly. He has bulked out a bit. Maybe living in the USA is messing with his traning regime - too much partying. :D

Great wasted talent was Lee Murray, The guy beat Jorge Rivera and went toe to toe with Anderson Silva..

No idea whats the deal with him I know he moved to Morocco because he was one of the main suspects of the £53million bank robbery in Kent.

Im sure he got arrested eventually.

I think there is also talks about a film being made about him.

Oh well guess this is a good place to post this. One of my all time favourate fights, a true David v Goliath match. Noguera v Bob Sapp. And this was when Sapp was a 375lb steroid filled freak!
