Oh man, I’m so amped up for the Klitschko fight. It’s about time The Garden had a worthy heavyweight bout again.

To top it off, Lou Reed’s going to be live-blogging from inside the arena during the fight … http://gameon.msg.com/2008/02/msg-live-follow.html

Hmmm interesting. Haven’t heard any talk of it but that would definitely make sense. If he wins one or two I could definitely see that happening.

I never thought of it but since Bob Sapp is under the EXC banner now with Strikeforce would a Kimbo/Bob Sapp match be a possibility?

I would actually pay to watch that shit.

If it doesn’t get him in trouble, I think what Cuban is doing is brilliant. Why not attach himself to biggest non-UFC fight around? He understands what the fans want and if he were ever able to get this PPV rolling I bet he would also have a loaded undercard. He’s Mark F’N Cuban after all. The man just signed Keith Van Horn for a few mil just to trade him.

I really have no interest in seeing Franklin-Wandy. Maybe after Franklin wins 5 fights in a row.

Wandy moving to MW makes no sense. The only way I can see it happening is if Anderson dominates Henderson and there is truly no competition left for Silva in the MW division. How are you going to sell Silva vs. Okami?

Wandy only has 2 fights down in MW for him. Henderson and Franklin. It would be nice to see him avenge his loss to Henderson. I’m not sure Franklin would make it out of the 2nd rd. Wandy and Anderson are great friends so I’m not sure theyll fight.

As for the Couture vs. Fedor campaign going on I’m getting tired of it. I’ve sided with Zuffa since day one. If the fight does end up happening I will not be ordering it to help support HDNet. I will be watching it for free the next day on FightViewer. Cuban needs to stop sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong and stop trying to make a quick buck off of possibily the biggest MMA fight in history (sorry Ariel i know you like Cuban). This fight deserves to be under the UFC banner and nowhere else.

Back in the day, Edwards coined a fighting term called “Thugjitsu” and it has actually stuck.

Here is a quote from him in an old UFC.com interview describing it:

“Thugjitsu is two things to me: It’s the modern art of the beat-downs and it’s also the greatest show on earth. It’s really taking somebody out of their game. All the guys that train with me, we all identify with Thugjitsu, but we all have different styles. Some guys are a lot more aggressive…We have a really good Jiu Jitsu guy: If he takes you to the ground and you don’t tap, stuff is broken. Myself, I love to knock guys out. It’s just finding what’s a weakness in your opponent compared to your strength, and just exploiting it. That’s basically what Thugjitsu is.”

Matt – sure Ibragimov has looked crafty but against who? Briggs and Holyfield? I am only interested in this one to see how quickly Wlad disposes of him.

I know UFN 13 is three hours but, still, 12 fights? Last week’s WEC show was 2.5 hrs and they were only able to air 5 fights. There isn’t a fight on that card that I don’t want to see so it’s a shame that we’ll be missing 7 or so of them.

I’m just getting into MMA, so I don’t know if he did this before, but I couldn’t stop laughing when Showtime listed Edwards’ fighting style as “Thug-Jitsu”

UFC Fight Night 13 got bumped to 3 hours. But how many fights can they show in that time anyways?
I mean 12 fights is a loaded card. They could’ve easily moved some of the bigger bouts to 83 or 84 and give them undercard status. Its a shame that some of the fights on UFN 13 won’t be making the air as there is not one fight I don’t want to see.

I don’t see how Couture will get out of his UFC contract. Frank Shamrock himself said Randy backed himself into a corner. Fedor aside there are still fights Randy should be motivated to fight in the UFC.

I’m kind of stoked for Klitschko/Ibragimov. I have a feeling it will be a better fight than I originally gave it credit for. Ibragimov has really looked crafty as of late.
