Beat me too it
I just read this, and got so excited. This is gonna be such a good fight, and has some importance to the division. I feel itll be a standup war, because lytle wont wanna mess with serra on the ground
But
there hasn’t been a not exciting fight for lytle since then.
The Koscheck fight was pretty boring. Josh just took him down, smothered him, and smashed him with elbows for 15 minutes. Chris doesn’t do well against guys with a strong top game.
I liked the Kos Lytle match
it was super bloody, just the way I like ’em.

Sea-Town stay down!
Rousimar Palhares is a dirty fighter.
Pain don't hurt...

Deputy Travis Junior: I don't think there was a real reason for Jones to hit Garcia, cause Garcia's a man who's already down. Garcia ain't got friends, he lives in a little shitty apartment, he don't have no family that I know of. He ain't got no taste. He's racist, he's a sexist, he's a lying bigot horse's ass. I think, you know, hitting him is just throwing shit in front of a shit pile that's already got too much shit in it.
There 2 of my favorite fighters
I love to see them both anyway
this card isn't doing it for me on paper...
but you never know with MMA…could be the card of the year.
UFC 115 and 116 weren't too popular on paper.
Neither was WEC 49.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
When you consider how stacked 117, 118, and hell even UFN 22 is
This is a really good card.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man wtf.

both of these guys are awesome in my book.
But I’m rootin for Serra again. Got to. Helluva match tho. Both can stand, and both have good jitz.

On another note. This will be one of my favorite cards.

Muy bueno
I hope Lytle wins, as I see him being much more competitive in a #1 contender’s match than Serra.

really?
Lytle is a true veteran of the game but I don’t give him that good a chance against Serra or any other top contenders at 170. I’d rather see Serra at 155 but like he said … he loves his pasta.

As much as I like both guys, neither of them should be near a number one contender’s fight.

It would be Lytle’s fourth straight win. I would gladly watch him fight Thiago Alves after Fitch beats him.

Alves busted him up last time and won by TKO (cuts I believe)
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Bad Doctor Stoppage
Tremendous fight, however.

Now that Lytle has decided to actually use his jiu-jitsu, he could easily become a contender. Well, maybe not easily
If someone were to tell me Bader would be fighting Rogerio Noguiera about 8 weeks ago I’d of laughed Bader off as having no shot at winning. However, after seeing the success Brilz had against Noguiera using his wrestling I’m now more inclined to think this fight is close to even with the slight edge towards Bader. This will be another big step for Darth Bader and regardless of who wins between he and Rogerio the winner is undoubtedly up there in the mix with Bones Jones, Machida & Page as the top 205 contenders. This is such a compelling card with solid fights from top to bottom. Also, if Dunham goes out there and beats Sherk he has to be the guy after maynard / florian debate is settled.
Is that like mark hunt mark hunt?
Or just some other mark hunt?
Be like water..

Yeah, UFC signed Mark Hunt. Contract they inherited from Pride I think.
Interested to see if he can get to 265
Yoplait....Fruit on the bottom,hope on top.
I’ve seen a few of his youtube clips, but it is hard to tell whether he is really any good. His opponents have been terrible. He’s one of those guys who NEEDS to be in the UFC because he can’t find fights otherwise. Whether he BELONGS in the UFC is another matter entirely. If he can’t beat the bloated corpse of Mark Hunt, he really doesn’t belong.
I love Matt
but Joe Silva clearly had a brainfart on this one.
Serra should be fighting Thiago or Kampmann or even Condit
No he shouldn't.
He beats Frank Trigg and all of a sudden he should be fighting guys like that? Come on now. This is perfect match-making.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
to be fair
He also beat GSP….

Nothing like a main event where both guys are coming off losses. And it’s not like their first fight was a real hotly contested match.

i wonder who the favorite will be in nog vs bader. ( i assume nog by a slim margin, which would have been much larger if not for his last fight) nog after a poor showing and bader after a few impressive wins. i think i’ll lay a few bucks on bader.
here's to the rubble...
That would be a mistake.
In my opinion. Bader is going to get submitted.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Meh, I don’t know. Bader could just use his wrestling to keep it standing. Nog’s boxing is sharper, but I’d give the edge in power decisively to Bader. And Nog didn’t look good at dealing with a wrestler off his back against Brilz. Nog is more experienced, but Bader is much more athletic. I think this is closer than many people think.

Yeah, seeing this makes me feel like Bader could put him away. I don't know though. He swept Brilz a few times. It will be interesting, that's for sure.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Jesus, what an ugly picture.

It WILL be interesting; that’s why I’m excited to watch it!
The sweeps were nice, and I’m always a mark for a good sweep rather than just endlessly throwing your legs up from guard. I’d like to think that Bader has better pressure and control from the top than Brilz, but I have no actual reason for saying that.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
I still think Nog will be a pretty big fave. -220?

Love this matchup. Two of the best JiuJitsuBoxers ever in MMA. And both of them are having nice late-career runs in the UFC. Too bad it will have the dark cloud of being on another inadequate premium priced PPV hanging over it. That is two in a row for Serra where he will be called up to be the star in the co-co-main event of such a card.
So now you will shit on a UFC card for the co-co-main event? Dark cloud is right.

I have to agree here, no way I’d pay $45 for this card as is. If it was Rampage-Lil Nog then maybe but not with this lineup.
by ufc4 on Jul 10, 2010 8:54 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I didn’t “shit on a UFC card for the co-co-main event”. You seem to have misunderstood what I wrote. I’m saying it will be too bad to be on this card because that is all anyone will be talking about. Serra vs. Trigg didn’t exactly get a lot of love either. I would prefer to see Serra main event Spike/Versus cards than propping up weak PPVs.
Now that makes sense “bad to be on this card because that is all anyone will be talking about” Sorry for being a douche.

This requires buying into this card being “weak”, which I think very few people do.

How many UFC cards in the last… say… twelve months would you say have justified that price?

Never was begging for the rematch.......
but it should be a solid fight. I am kind of interested to see how Lytle does with someone that might not just sit there and slug it out with him. Serra has a more solid all around game then the guys he has fought lately.
Buffer's face is awesome in that photo (and many others)
I suspect Serra told him to fuggedabout something.
Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.
