hbk4life Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 5 extra fights is great news, does anyone have any idea what time they will start on Facebook since they are showing 5? Maybe 2 hours before the event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I am really loving this UFC on facebook thing as it makes the shows much easier to watch if they start a watching around midnight its much easier to keep awake till the main show. Â As far as this card goes it looks amazing as the garcia korean zomibie fight should be amazing then hardy and sadollah who i rather like watching. Although Davis vs Little Nog seems very much like a less important version of last weeks event. Â Also i just realised that Bruce Leeroy is on the facebook fights which should be entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Leonard Garcia  "I get a lot of talk about how I'm willing to go out there and brawl. The fans like it, the UFC likes it, but then everybody in the gym says, hey, when you're technical and you do things correctly, it's hard to stop you. But when we go out for the rules meeting and Dana White is talking about the Fight of the Night bonus, he stares right at me. I mean, right at me. And all the guys in the room, you can see them, they're like, man, Leonard's on the card. He's going to go get that bonus. So it is a double-edged sword. Not being safe, not being careful, going out there and getting after it, all that gets you fans and stuff. It can also get you cut from the UFC. I weigh these things out in my head all the time and then I go out there and when it's time to fight, I just get in a certain mindframe and it's time to go. I kind of don't have a choice. Once a guy hits me, the other Leonard comes out. I just need to learn to control that a little bit more.  That's the pressure you deal with. But at the end of the day, you have to progress as a fighter, or else you just get left behind. Going in there and giving the fans a show is what I've always been about, and they know I can do that. This time around though, I want to showcase my talents, not just my will to fight."  Chan Sung Jung  "We're bonded by blood and sweat. There's no other way to put it. We had such a great fight together. Thirty years from now I'll have grandkids and I'll be able to put that fight on and say, 'Look at what me and this guy did.' ...But it is different to go in there and fight a guy you have this mutual respect for. Going up against a guy you already have this bond with, it's a crazy feeling. I had to put that out of my memory already. The first few days after I took [the fight] I was thinking, how are we ever going to live up the memory of the first one? What are we going to do differently in this fight that overshadows that one? Then I started thinking about it, and you know, I've improved since the first one. In the beginning, 80 percent of me wanted to go back and do the exact same thing as we did before just to give the people a show, and the other 20 percent wanted to show people how much better I've gotten since then."  Really interested to see how they approach this second fight and what changes they make if any. No matter what they both say about fighting more smartly I think once they get in there and the first punch is landed it's gonna get crazy like the first fight.

TildeGuy~! Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Anyone else believe Phil Davis is 1 or 2 fights away from a title shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 25, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd agree. if he beats little Nog, I can see a match with Maybe Griffin. After that take your pick from Rampage, Machida, Randy (Possibly Vera and Silva). If he wins those fights, he's got to be in and around a title shot. Obviously it depends as well on how the other top guys at LHW do in their fights. Â I'd love to see Jones/Davis down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 i think the UFC is hoping they can build some kind of superfight with the Jones/Davis eventually, but Davis needs to win a few more first...you can already see how they'll sell it. Jones has destroyed all the old dudes so in comes this young superstar kinda similar to himself. The press Davis has gotten this week based off Jones winning already tells you that that's what everyone is eventually hoping to see. Â I like Davis too, but the old fan in me wants to see Nogueira win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah I think a Jones/Davis fight is a bit of a way off yet. Davis is probably about where Jones was in the Hamill fight where he's had some good showings but he's stepping up in comp. Jones is obviously already at the top of the heap now so Davis still has a lot to do. Â I'd like to see Nog win too to be honest. I really like Davis but a loss here would hurt Nog more than Davis I think. That would be 2 losses on the trot (would be 3 without the off judging against Brilz). He'll be on shaky ground with another loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'll probably regret this like fuck in a few months if Rashad decisons Jones...but I honestly think Davis has the best chance of anyone of unseating Bones right now. And I think the first stop on the way to that fight is Little Nog getting tooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 Predictions  Main card  Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Phil Davis Like I said I'd like to see Nog back to winning ways but he's been struggling with wrestlers lately and Davis is a more accomplished wrestler than Bader or Brilz. Nog's got a big advantage in the stand up but I can't see him being able to keep it there long enough to inflict significant damage. I'm going with the consensus here.  Mr Wonderful by decision  Dan Hardy vs Anthony Johnson Hardy's coming off his first KO loss, we don't know if it will have affected his game. Johnson hasn't fought for ages and has had injury and weight issues, although it's good to see he's come in on weight for this one.  Aside from all that. If you assume they're both coming in at their best Johnson should have this. He's bigger, stronger, more powerful and has his wrestling background to fall back on if need be.  Hardy's often talked about as some big striker but really I've never thought he was some massive puncher, Johnson to me deffo has the power advantage. Speed is probably pretty even. It will be interesting to see how Hardy bounces back from his last fight.  Although I would favour Hardy over a longer fight I can't see him avoiding the bomb for long. He gets dragged into brawls and although he's a good striker he gets hit a lot. If that happens here it could be a short fight.  I'm going with Rumble by KO/TKO in round 2  Amir Sadollah vs DaMarques Johnson This is pretty much a toss up to me. Neither guy's massively experienced. Amir's the better striker, I'd give DaMarques the edge on the ground. Fuck knows? Should be a good fight either way, neither guy is usually in boring fights.  Tough fight to call. Fuck it I'm going for the underdog bonus on MMAPlayground so  DaMarques Johnson by decision  Leonard Garcia vs Chan Sung Jung Who knows what will happen here...can't wait to see it. I'm guessing the general feeling will be Jung should've won the first fight so he should win the rematch. I'm not sure about that. Jung's coming off a bad KO loss and talking about a change in style. He could be a bit weary of getting into another war. On the other hand he could come in determined to prove he should've won the last fight and make a statement.  Gonna go with Garcia by decision  Really looking forward to this card and the 5 fights on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
