UWC 6 this Saturday

Warcorpse — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:09:58 -0000

I just wanted to put this up to ask if anyone is going to watch UWC 6 this saturday. It looks like a good card for up and comeing talent.

The Main Event is the UWC Bantaweight Title Fight between Mike Easton vs Josh Ferguson. The event opens with Kris McCray fighting Ronnie West. 8 fights in all with some of these guys headed to the UFC or the WEC in the near future. that's just my guess though

It's straming live on Sherdog.com for FREE!

Chuck Liddell can he do it one more time?

Warcorpse — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:44:32 -0000

Can Chuck Liddell come back from going 1-3 in his last 4. Having even some of his fans contenplate that he might retire. Can he come back and claim UFC gold again?Chi

Chuck Liddell has been the face of MMA for the last decade and probably longer than that. His reign as Champion will be remebered for a long time and his legend is secure. For a long time people thought Chuck invincible. Rampage Jackson put a stop to that. Beating Chuck in the second I THINK it might've been the first.

So then he goes and fights Kieth Jardine and loses a decsion. When I watched that fight I honestly didn't know who I was watching fight. Then the UFC sets up a fight that should have happened a few years ago with Liddell and Silva. Liddell only not with a KO or a ref stopping the fight, he wins with a decsion. Rashad Evans his put in his way and everyone with a computer and a YouTube account seen what happened there.

So does Chuck have enough left in him to climb the UFC mountian one more time, I'd have to say that yes he does, He's 39 yes but remember Couture So I'd say he's got another 4 to 5 good years left in him. If he went and train like he said that he did he'll be a monster. Now did all the partying take a toll on him yes, but I've seen more than one athlete come back from a lot worse than that and win titels. With a couple of good wins starting with Shougun he'll be right back in the title picture. hopefully he got over the losses and can now focuses on destroying the LHW division once again.

Maybe I'm biased because The Iceman is the guy that brought me back to MMA as a fan I just don't want to admit it might be over however, I still truly belive that Liddell will hold gold in the UFC one more time before he retires.

What's the worst thing that's happened

Everyone knows that MMA has grown by leaps and bounds since its conception in 1993 till now. However I've started to notice a trend that are really hurting the sport

1 Ken Shamrock and Tank Abbott, Guys that don't know there carears are finished and just don't want to step away.

2 Kimbo Slice - enough said

3 Dana White While he's a fantastic promoter and bussiness man growing the UFC into a billion dollar company. There are times when he overlooks talent he should sign and his mouth at time gets him into hot water. Not really helping the image of the largest MMA org.

Tito Ortiz What's going on

Warcorpse — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 22:13:35 -0000

As everyone knows Tito Ortiz is not really fighting anymore. I mean he guest apperars at Strikeforce and now he's going to do another apperance at UWC on April 25th. The only thing that I'm wondering is when in the hell is he going to FIGHT again! And not just some no-name like Shamrock does but some one that's on the map.

In all the fights since his issues with Dana White his preformances have just gone down the tubes. I don't know if that's because of White or if he just dosen't have what it takes anymore. All we ever hear is not when his next fight going to be only that he's signed with this org or that org. When will we see Tito back in action. Or did I totally miss something and he announced his retirement.
