Post UFC 76 Underdog....
Underdog, not Knockout? There wasnt even a knockout the entire UFC ;)

Shogun gets out classes by Forest Griffin? Keith Jardine out strikes Ice Man? But I thought it was worth the 40 bucks. I won a C-Note from a friend on Fitch, he is a Sanchez nuthugger ;)

Definitely a disappointing night. I thought Chuck was far too timid. Jardine decided to do a grind win for a headliner fight. Fitch shut out Diego, but also a boring fight. And we learn again that Pride fighters aren't making good transitions to the UFC.

Glad I saw it courtesy of the internet.

I can't stand Sanchez and his stupid stare down so I was so glad to see him lose.

the Griffin fight was by far the BEST of the night :!:

I was very upset that Liddell lost :cry:

Anderson Silva and Quinton Jackson come to mind. There's also fighters that have gone to Pride from UFC, some did great, some didn't. I do hope they adopt the Pride "yellow card" and dock fighters prize money for lack of action or when the stall the fight.

This is very true, however, I don't see Jackson being on top long.

Silva is a stand out fighter all the way.

I hope they adopt alot of other things from Pride, like the way things are judged!

Forrest fight was excellent and I too was glad Diego lost. This whole year has been year of the underdogs. Lidell could have done so much more, I just dont get it, the kick at the end? where was that in round 1.

What ever are you talking about regarding PRIDE fighters?! Dan Henderson is one of the top contenders. I think he should have won the decision against Jackson. BOTH came from PRIDE and are the one/two in their weight class.

It would be great to see a Henderson/ Liddell bout. It would be kinda cool to see the iceman submitted. Or Jackson could thrash him for a third time.

PRIDE fighters are deeper than you think in talent. It will just take a while to assimilate all the better fighters. Mark my words. I won big on the Lidell/Jackson fight.
