no doubt that this was a determining factor in the new Spike TV/UFC deal

For the first time ever on a Spike televised card a UFC title is on the line. Not only is a title on the line, it will unify the UFC and Pride titles, which is sure to draw huge ratings for Spike TV.

"We are pleased that Spike TV will bring UFC 75 live from London to millions of UFC fans in the U.S. and Canada," said UFC president Dana White. "UFC 75 will be the UFC and PRIDE's first ever unification match -- this fight between 'Rampage' Jackson and Dan Henderson (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=195) (Pictures (http://www.sherdog.com/news/picture_gallery.asp?f_id=195@@Dan%20Henderson)) will decide who is the best 205-pound fighter in the two organizations."

so it is for both belts

[Kimo]

this is gonna be big for both UFC and Spike and MMA as a whole

[roger]

I hope crocop gets KTFO again

[roger]

Two Pride stars headlining the main event, a third Pride star in the Comain event, We see where all the talent came from ;)
someone delete this post

[Kimo]

[KtodaC]

Rampage!

[Kimo]

Pride doesnt exist anymore

[roger]

Can't wait till Kongo KO's Crocop so he never gets a title shot and retires because he will never beat fedor

[§møkê¥]

UFC wins either way
cuz they both fighting in ufc right now

[Kimo]

as some of you may have heard

Fedor Emelianenko will be in the house, they are saying he is there to promote for Affliction clothing, however the conspiracy theories have begun that claim a announcement of Fedor signing to the UFC will happen.

If for some reason you did not plan on watching the SpikeTV show, you might want to witness the history in the making

[§møkê¥]

^its gonna be BIG

[Lord Raiden]

I cant wait til Andre Arlovksi is back on top

[Doc Holliday]

i hope rampage gets ko, but my gut feeling is he is gonna win.

[KtodaC]

Why do people want Rampage to lose? How do you not like Rampage? Or you guess just wanna see Henderson do good? Rampage>MMA.

Rampage winning will also set up good match ups. Rampage vs Shogun II, vs Wandy III, possibly vs Tito. And then hopefully Dan will go back down to 185 and fight Anderson Silva, Rich Franklin (dominate Rich Franklin I mean).

[Kimo]

all fighter made weight without any problems

edit: weight ins are on ufc.com now

[Krayzie7th]

cro cop fought horrible.

[kaeckisthename]

cro cop fought horrible.

yup, and the main event sucked, kind of...

[KtodaC]

RAMPAGE!!!

Hamill won that fight that was a bad decision.

[Hiero]

Yeah Hamill shouldve won that one. Rampage is the shit.

[KtodaC]

Bisping is a faggot. He knows he got lucky and then to go and talk shit about Hammil after the fight? Fuck Bisping. I was kinda rooting for him cause he trained with Rampage and Hammil left Tito, but now fuck him.

RAMPAGE!

[2 Face]

rampage still champ!!!!!

[JuiceMan]

Hamill was homered by Bisping. What a bad decision.

[Doc Holliday]

I dont think rampage won he won 3rd and fourth round i though that Dan won 1st,2nd and 5th round. But i thhnk the only way Dana White would let Dan win would submit or ko. Also Cro cop needs to retire.

[shanebone]

yeah i heard the bisping decision was bad only a few ppl thought he won. thats bs

[KtodaC]

Rampage won that fight. Hendo one the first the second round was real close, but probabbly Hendo and then Rampage won the 3rd 4th and the 5th even tho it was close.

[Kimo]

i agree Hamill really took it to Bisping and i was pretty shocked at the decision

i dont really know what to say about Cro Cop, i can brag but whats the point, :no: @ all the suicides on sherdog forums ;)

Main Event was good, not a great fight and the first couple fights were nice

i might pick up Thiago Silva vs Tomas Drwal and Anthony Torres vs Jess Liadin on UFC on Demand read good things about those fights
=/ @ Alexander walking through Sakara
Paul Taylor/Marcus Davis i couldnt make up my mind on who to pick
Davis for experience but then i was with Taylor, and also the fight was up and down very exciting

i might check out

[KtodaC]

Alexander got taken down pretty easily, I wanna see what he'd do against a Tito Ortiz, Rashad Evans or someone with good TDs.

[redant]

The main event definetely was a let down, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!

[Kimo]

annnnnnnnnd I feel stupid. I just googled pics of UFC belt and found one with Chuck wearing the belt with the silver incorporated into it. COME ON GUYS! Why didnt one of oyu jump on me about being wrong lol.

Back to sherdog and my first thread is a dud.
i think you are the only one who cares about the belt :-D

[Kimo]

lies there were about 6-10 threads all discussing how UFC was wrong for cutting Babalu

its even in the mailbag if you read those

[Rymaar]

That Bisping decision was atrocious! At best the judges' decisions should have been 29-28...all in favor of Hamill. Bisping definitely got the hometown decision, and it's a shame, especially the way he was bragging about it afterward. I was impressed with the way Hamill handled the situation, but I'm expecting a rematch stateside in the very near future...

[KtodaC]

hahaha
