UFC 75: CHAMPION VS CHAMPION - 09/08/2007

Post by AppGuy04 »

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDe ... rd&eid=758

Quinton Jackson Vs. Dan Henderson

Matt Hamill Vs. Michael Bisping

Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Cheick Kongo

Marcus Davis Vs. Paul Taylor

Houston Alexander Vs. Alessio Sakara

Prelims:
Gleison Tibau Vs. Terry Etim
Tomasz Drwal Vs. Thiago Silva
Naoyuki Kotani Vs. Dennis Siver
Anthony Torres Vs. Jess Liaudin

The undercard sucks for this, but thats probably because of the location. The televised fights can't be beaten. This is an awesome card.

My predictions are as follows:
Quinton Jackson Vs. Dan Henderson- This will probably be a slugfest. I'm going with Henderson in 3 by knockout
Matt Hamill Vs. Michael Bisping- Bisping will dominate this match with the hometown crowd behind him. Bisping in 3 via knockout

Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Cheick Kongo- Cro Cop needs to show that the Gonzaga fight was a fluke. Kongo is good, but not in Mirko's league. Cro Cop via knockout in the 2nd

Marcus Davis Vs. Paul Taylor-regional matchup. Not much known about either of these guys. This will probably be the first fight of the night.

Houston Alexander Vs. Alessio Sakara- For me, I am honestly looking at this fight just as much as any on the card. I have been looking forward to this fight ever since Alexander knocked out Jardine. I'll take Houston in 2 via knockout

Agree completely with your picks!

I think the Henderson/Jackson fight won't go past two rounds, with Dan being the winner, and me collecting $20 from a fellow Griz fan. :lol:

Hamil is in over his head on this one, if its a stand up fight.

Well, lets see.

Jackson won, but wasn't dominant. Not the slugfest I expected, but good fight nonetheless

Hamill got screwed. He won that fight!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cro Cop is a fraud!!!

Houston Alexander is awesome. His next fight will be with a contender. Write it down.

Everyone that I wanted to win, won, with the exception of the Henderson/Jackson fight.

I wanted Bisping to win, but not like that! Hamill clearly beat him, and was robbed. The only judge that looked like he watched the fight was the one that scored it 30-27, Hamill. I had it 29-28, Hamill.

I saw this as the only smear on a very exciting, and fun to watch fight card!

That is a HUGE smear Grizo. Dana White is always bashing boxing for many things, most notibly, the judging system and how often this type of thing happens. He needs to do something about this. Add more judges, etc. The least he can do is treat this like neither fighter lost when making their next matches.

On a side note. Oh, how I wish it was Houston Alexander fighting The Iceman 2 weeks from now instead of Jardine

I'd rather see Chuck fighting Houston than Jardine, but I still think he'll beat both of them if he can get Rampage out of his head.

Who I'm really excited about seeing in the UFC is Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. He got beat by Mark Coleman, and Babalu, but completely thumped Jackson.

This guy is the real deal, and a very bad man!

Here's the funny thing, Grizo....I don't even follow this sport. I just happened to catch part of Jackson's last fight....wow.
