V3 you normally watch sopcast correct? If so, it will be live :) By the way V3, picking Henderson isn't dumb whatsoever. Going either way on the main event won't be considered dumb.... they're both BA's. Its pretty much 50/50 if you ask people that regularly follow the sport. Lotta people with Quinton, lotta people with Dan.

Ya, but Im getting my special dish hooked up this weekend :)
No more sopcast for me...

Hey so 6 PST/9 EST on Spike, that means we can't watch it live even if we wanted to?

I sure as hell don't have access to any UK stations. You can always follow the PBP online. What is everyone else going to do?

GOOD LUCK V3! This one is a coin toss to me..........:dunno: My heart says Rampage, my head has NO CLUE!!!!:nuts:

Thanks, but no action for me. I dont do online and I dont know any locals that will take MMA anymore. Eventually I have to figure something out. Just saying I like Dan in this one.

I like Henderson in this one, just made up my mind.

Rumor has it that Fedor will be in the audience. the mma chat rooms are on fire claiming they will announce him being signed. One rumor has him banking 1.8 million per fight??? sounds like B.S. to me, but Dana even said he will be there to watch. Him signing........guess we'll have to wait and see. I for one will have my fingers, and toes crossed....LOL!! Should be very, very interesting...... Im with you guys, I NEED to make some Cheddah saturday...:bang: :bang: with my run of mma luck lately, Im leaning toward leaving the main event alone. Damn just want to see a good fight and not have to worry about donating any more loot to the man!!!

I have no choice but to win this Saturday .... (wec broke my spirit to say the least, even though I wasn't really down hardly any units, it was more of a win/lose thing, not money).

Here is a parlay I really like, insurance 1 : 1.6 payout
Crocop
Bisping
Marcus Davis

One possible dog I like is Drwal at +265 (value is there based on his record and reputation).

Then theres the original parlay of Quinton, Crocop, Bisping, Sakara. 1 : 6.09

I'm praying Sakara shows up in shape, and with a CHIN. Crocop will be showing up as the croatian special forces killing machine that he is... Bisping has wanted to finish off Hammil for a while. Quinton & Dan - its gonna be a war, for everyone else's sake, especially Eddie's I hope Rampage wins.

I have the image in my head of Drago in Rocky saying "I must break you", thinking of betus LOL.

They don't hype Dan alot, but they replay that Wandy KO SEVERAL times hahaha. I think after watching the show most people will still think Quinton will win because Dan is largely unknown to the average mma person. They give both fighters their due credit. That said, Henderson is definitely a total badass and sounds pretty damn confident... the betting odds are actually pretty spot on. I still am rolling with QJ for the reasons I mentioned earlier. I think this is a GREAT matchup but hate the fact that if Dan loses, people will be like oh "pride was crap blah blah"... lol when in reality its not ufc vs pride, its pride vs pride (quinton made his waves in Pride just like Dan). Furthermore, I still see Shogun as the true champion of Pride (thank God hes in the ufc now). Shogun is one guy I would pick against Quinton.

Well said Yukon! I agree, this is Pride vs. Pride. Its a shame the casual U.S. fans dont understand the history going into this fight. Oh well, their loss...LOL!! Damn its going to be a great fight. Im on Rampage, but its nice to see a main event where I wont be dissapointed either way. Usually, Im full of hate toward one of them........But Im just a hater......LOL!!! LETS GO SATURDAY, GET HERE ALREADY!!!!!!!

[EddieP]

yukon dan is very good,,,and he is a likeable guy as well...........i just like rampage a bit more...........i cant wait for the fights........tonight will be a warm up,i wont go crazy on tonights card because the well is fairly dry at this point...............

[yukoncornelius]

Yes Shogun is the man, which is why hes one of few I'd pick against Quinton. On the otherhand, I truly believe QJ is a much more focused, well coached fighter.

Back to UFC 75... Eddie I get the sense that if Dan wins, he will instantly become your least favorite fighter hahaha. Even though hes a great guy/fighter, I hope Rampage pulls it out.

Have you guys seen the quest for the belt series on youtube that hendo created? Search for "quest for the belt"

[EddieP]

um didnt shogun crush rampage??? if memory serves me right he broke his ribs in that fight? anyways even with broken ribs and getting ****en pounded jackson didnt give up, the ref stopped it...........rampage is one tough mother ,i see rua beating him again that s not to say rampage doesnt have a chance,because he does have a chance,and like he says his trainers are training him realllllllllllll gooooooooodddddddd..now:) .. anyways it is very easy to be a rampage fan,the guy is hilarious,he is cool and most of all he backs up what he says allthough he doesnt talk that much crapola as he would say...........if he beats the crap outta hendo i will never ask him for anything again:beerbang: :beerbang: :beerbang:

damn Yukon, did you catch that on the net? I would have loved to see it. Oh well, tomorrow night will come soon enough! You point out that they say a lot about Dan as well, and Im SURE they will show the highlight of the Wandy KO! Your right that a lot of people only know Rampage from the Chuck fight. And Im sure many of them thought that was a fluke.....LOL!! (dumbasses). So I can see how most might think Dan will win if they Hype it as you say. I also have to think that a majority of the US fans have no idea who Dan is? They saw him come into the cage with the Pride belts, but a lot of them are bandwagon fans that probably thought "Pride who"? Does Vegas prey on the fact that casual mma fans that might bet dont know who Dan is? Do they play on the fact that more probably know Rampage?? Damn, I have confused myself right out of a pick.........LOL!!!!! I guess Ill wait closer to fight time to pull the trigger. Im going with Rampage based on his size and strength at 205, and what I believe is a RENEWED dedication to training with Jaunito and the rest. Also, as you and I have talked about many times, Quinton is motivated first and foremost by the money.....and he knows, winning an event airing on FREE t.v. will shoot his fame through the roof. I cant see Rampage letting this opportunity to impress U.S. fans and possible endorsers slip past him. Rampage by impressive victory= LOTS OF United States Green Backs!!!! With all that being said, I wont be suprised if Dan does it......LOL!!! Bottom line, they are both at the top of the food chain as Joe Rogan would say! Doesnt get much better than this fight fellas, IMO!!
Im sure will talk more before sat!!!!!
Good Luck Guys!!!

[yukoncornelius]

Well, the countdown show already aired in the UK, airs in the US tommorow night. I don't know how much the line will swing for Quinton, because they show some good stuff of Dan in the show. Plus alot of people only know QJ as the "guy who ko'd liddell".
