There has been alot of hype, who else is lookinhg forward to this fight

I don't think anyone cares

I am sure there are a few people here who want to see guys roll around in a cage

Should be a good fight, Will end in the first round

Oops!

"At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it."

speak for yourself

All THAT being said I say Faber wins in the first round.

may just go that way but Wouldn't mine seeing little evil lay a severe beat down on Faber and take his tittle Either way some ones getting hurt and it ain't going over 2 rounds.


nice sig line

My moneys on the Califonia Kid.

Faber is so fast and he delivers those forearm blows with so much power he will crush Pulver.

The poll should have been KO or submission. Could go either way.

one thing for sure there should be no lack of BLOOD.

Even though I've had a TV for years, I'm glad that my pop-culture literacy quotient is low enough that I have no more than a vague idea what this discussion is about. I'm more curious about what percent of the American population even knows what this is about, let alone actually cares about it. Maybe a good gage would be comparison with NASCAR.

Sg

NASCAR isnt that where they go fast and turn left.

Imagine climbing into a cage with a highly conditioned athelete trained in boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, ju jitsu, and submission holds, who feels it's his moral responcibility to kill you and you have it.

Salmo do you have Versus? I ignored the mixed martial arts fighting until last year when I saw a match at a bud's house. While I'm no fanatic it is very cool.

I wrestled through junior high and high school. I went to states one year. The first time I saw this [censored] on tv I had instant respect. Heck we did 3 periods of 2 minutes or something like that and I remember being dead after each match. These guys go 3 rounds of 5 minutes (I think). Absolutely brutal. Those guys beat the tar out of each other. Give it a chance. As a one of my friends said "this will make boxing extinct".

Faber in 2.

Jens has been training a lot harder than usual and he's better than the last guy Faber fought, which went into the second round. It should be a good fight, but with MMA you never know.

I'm not a huge fanatic or anything either, but after watching a little bit it is pretty easy to get into. I mean the conditioning of the athletes is incredible, and I would say that as a general rule there is a lot less long term brain/CNS damage than there is from boxing. Probably because the fights a lot of the time end due to submission, and also the rounds are longer, where in boxing a guy gets beat to almost KO, then goes and sits down for a minute. Then goes back in and beat until almost KO, then sits down. Repeat

I will watch it when my kids aren't around, usually live-pause then speed through a few rounds for a half an hour or so. I make mental notes in case I ever get jumped by ninjas or something, I need to have some moves.
