Luke,

How do you feel the 3rd fight will go? I personally feel like Edgar will win it pretty decisively. I think last night was Gray’s golden opportunity and he couldn’t seize it. After seeing how Frankie dominated BJ in the rematch, I think Gray will suffer the same fate.

do u think there is still any merit in saying that melendez and alvarez are the top lws?

i personally think edgar and maynard pretty much silenced any critics to the fact that they are the top fighters at 155 with maynards display of power and a much more well rounded game and edgar with his chin heart and improved wrestling

idk why anyone thought alvarez or melendez was #1

and who fights jose aldo next?

the roop-hominick winner? the mendes-omigawa winner? or should they scrap hominick’s fight altogether and just putting him in a title shot so they dont risk him getting grispi’d

also does hatsu hioki have a legitamate claim to being the top featherweight on the planet with his impressive win over sandro?

You can count on Luke to talk about Overeem.

Did we the last of Brandon Vera in the UFC and was that not the most embarrassing last round in recent memory for a UFC fighter? Silva slapping Vera and breaking his nose while Vera just took the damage without any sign of reversing his position. Vera has to at the top of the list of wasted talent.

Err, there have been plenty of UFC title fights that ended in a draw Luke. Uno vs. Penn 2 went to a draw, and several title fights in the early years went to draws (Gracie vs. Shamrock 2, Shamrock vs. Taktarov).

Fights that were entertaining from start to finish.

Uno vs. Penn 2 was fun, but those Shamrock fights were………..not good.

It's alright on mine.

Luke, could you talk about Chris Leben and the potential that he has some serious brain damage? If you go back and watch Leben on that first season of TUF, and now listen to him 5 years later, his voice is much more gravely and he’s much harder to understand.

Leben was my next idea for topic too.

I’m interested to see how far his chin will carry him from here…

I would be interested to hear about the featherweight division a little.

Snowden’s article from earlier lined up with some things I was thinking, and I can’t but think that the next time the rankings are done, a majority of the top ten fighters may be in Japanese promotions.

by Brent Ducharme on Jan 2, 2011 9:27 PM EST reply actions  

I've talked about that on the show many times

I agree with his article a lot.

Yeah that's true.

The article definitely gets to the core of it from what I see.

Luke, we need to hear you talk about the epic ass kicking that Overeem put on Duffee.

Luke, could we hear some thoughts on the purposed Couture vs. Machida fight?

Pay me 60K and I’ll fight Overeem. I won’t train one day!

Luke, could you ask Tyron why he hasn’t taken fights outside of strikeforce, considering their contracts are non-exclusive? Also, if there is time, could you ask him what his plans are once his contract with strikeforce runs out? As I understand it, he only has two more fights on his contract.

Luke talking about the campus beautification project made me laugh for a good 20 seconds straight.

Another question

Do you believe that Antonio Mckee will be cut due to his lackluster performance the way Gerald Harris was cut?

Brandon Vera never recovered from the holdout/ back to back losses/ hostage situation.

by John Nash on Jan 2, 2011 10:27 PM EST reply actions  

Brandon Vera never recovered from being undeservedly crowned as The Next Big Thing after beating a bunch of guys who made up one of the weakest HW divisions ever.

Listening to the show

I never experianced this racism you speak of, Luke. There does seem to be a bias against Japanese fighters, but that’s it. Rampage’s biggest fanbase is white. Shogun, BJ Penn, shit the Diaz brothers, those guys have a big white fanbase’s too.

Stann bodied Leben. He WAS tougher.

Brian Stann hates you?

If you don’t mind, what’s the story on that?

by kreally on Jan 2, 2011 10:56 PM EST reply actions  

Stann vs Bisping is awesome. And that by golly was 100 percent real. Loved it.
