Ultimate Fight Night

[John Brewer]

Hey did anyone catch the UFC free live fights at Miramar last night? I saw the first couple but missed the main fight Diego Sanchez vs Joe Riggs.

I saw them last night. The Diego fight was great, he totally dominated in the first round. I thought he was going to get knocked out in the second when he took a good shot to the head, but Diego is one tough guy. He took Riggs down and totally destroyed him, winning in about 1 1/2 min. in hte second.

Thanks for the update I can't believe I missed it. What did you think of the Irish Hand Grenade? He definitely improved his groung game, but it seemed he should have taken advantage of his stand up more, especially when he had Shone hurt.

I totally agree. I thinkhe could have won the fight in the first round if he had capitalized onhis advantages. He is a good fighter but didn't appear to bemuch of a finisher.

Ummmm, Diego knocked Riggs out in the 1st round @ 1:45. He hit him with a right hook that dropped him, kneed him in the face when he tried to get back up, then pounded his face when he was down.

... kneed him in the face when he tried to get back up......

I thought that was illegal in the UFC.

Well as he was getting up, Riggs saw Sanchez coming and started to shoot and ran face first into the knee.

Yea fer Diego...(as he's a good Kenpo Boy)

But more importantly? Did anyone hear that the UFC signed Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and Mirko 'Crocop' Filopovic? (Actually they bought out the entirety of the WFA, and rumour has it that came with at least 30 fighter contracts, including potentially Bas Ruttan) So the game is afoot and it just got a whole lot more interesting.

I suspect Timmeh Silva just filled his pants. Yet another UFC title will be changing hands in the immediate future.

Rampage vs Chuck 2 is also a much aniticipated fight. Although Rampage seems to be on the downslide an dLiddell on the rise, but last fight he pretty much owned Chuckie.

Nice can't wait to see the new blood!

Are they going to continue the WFA? I kinda liked the team aspect.

Was the WFA a team sport? I know the World Combat League has it?

Ooops, got my fights mixed up,,,thanks.

That's the IFL, which is doing okay as far as I've heard. There's a rumor that Spike TV was considering a deal with the IFL in case the UFC wants to go to another network. The UFC is rumored to be in deals with HBO to show UFC cards that would otherwise be on Pay-Per-View.

By the way, CC -- the IFL will be in Gwinnett County in February.
