The latest news for UFC 80 is that Gonzaga is going to rematch against Werdum in England. Werdum is the only man besides Couture to defeat Gonzaga. Check out the videos of each round from their first fight in September 2003. I'll include the links too because I fuckin suck at posting videos. Enjoy!

UFC 73 : Stacked

marco054 — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 19:41:47 -0000

It has been a very boring time for Sox fans lately except for trade rumors so I figured I'd post about Saturdays UFC event. I've been following the UFC for awhile and absolutely love it. UFC 73 is suppose to be the most exciting event the UFC has ever had. It is featuring two title fights and two other great fights along with all the undercard fights which are usually just as great.

Middleweight Championship (185lb)
Anderson Silva (champ) vs Nate Marquardt

Lightweight Championship (155lb)
Sean Sherk (champ) vs Hermes Franca

Tito Ortiz vs Rashad Evans (205lb fight)
-Ortiz is a former Light Heavyweight Champion
-Evans was the Ultimate Fighter 2 Champion
-Winner of this fight could be looking at a title shot

Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueria vs Heath Herring
-Minotauro is one of the top 5 Heavyweights in the world and is making his UFC debut after fighting in Pride for years.

I highly recommend that you should get the fight. It costs $40 to get the event and the fights are about 3 hours long. Its always a good event to get people together and drink a few beers while watching it. Thats definitly what I'll be doing on Saturday and if you get people to chip in its even better. Well just thought I'd inform you guys/gals of this event so if you got nothing to do on Saturday then order it.

Oh yea for any type of MMA news check out www.bloodyelbow.com its a great site

Soprano's Finale

marco054 — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 02:24:38 -0000

I've been a fan of Soprano's since it started and now its finally going to come to an end. I was just wondering what some of your predictions are going to be for the finale.

I think either Tony will get killed, go to jail or snitch to the feds. I got a feeling he won't go to jail since theres a hit out on him and likely will get killed before.

Now either he'll get killed or snitch. I'm going to go with the latter since they're has been so many scenes with the FBI agent Harris. So my prediction is that he'll do the Henry Hill and take all of New York down.

Feel free to add any suggestions for other characters or Tony's prediction.

MLB 2K7

I'm one of the younger guys here and just went and picked up my copy of the new baseball game for xbox 360 and am in love.

I love my great outfield of Sweeney, Anderson and Dye. I also got Fields on the bench and dropped Mackowiak since they're rated the same. I wish they had Danks on there but i guess i'll stick with Gavin Floyd.

Now i have my perfect team. I might have to try and make a trade for Crawford or Baldelli.

Reliever or Starter...still a pitcher

marco054 — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:47:22 -0000

I always hear alot of excuses for B-Mac's struggles as a reliever but everytime I hear it I always think of this quote. Just wondering what some of your thoughts are one this. I think it makes sense.

"On the other hand, every time he fails -- I hear a comment by Jack McDowell, when he says, 'You're a starter, you're a reliever, when you're on the mound you're a pitcher.' If you're a reliever or if you're a starter, when you're on the mound you're a pitcher, you still have to do your job."
