Any guys into UFC here?

Just a reminder that UFC:86 is on tonight. Its free on Setanta live from 3am.

Who do you fancy for the main event?

I like Griffin better but I think Jackson will get it. He's looking so fearsome since he started working on his boxing. Unless Griffin can trap him into submission, I don't think he stands a chance.

Looking forward to seeing Gonzaga on the undercard. He's a class fighter.

Its real good fun too lol
Not last Monday but the Monday before I think I pulled off the best move since I been playing with it . I went for a leg lift so my mate dropped his weight down I slipped off his leg and into a headlock I made myself fall backwards twisting as I fell causing him to land on his back with me on top punching him in the head priceless lmao

Good stuff

I do wish I could take part in it. I'd love to spar with you one day but i'd be useless

I did karate as a kid, I really wish i'd stuck through with it now. I'd probably be a 3rd dan black belt or something.

Noone else watched it though? I was possibly one of the best UFC matches i've seen in a long time.

I just use my knowledge of kick boxing for the closed hand and leg work and the various kung fu styles I used to do for the open hand grappling and locking I could do with some more grappling experience though

Will Brovo show it at some point?

UFC is much better and more skillfull than boxing IMO

punky · 21-08-2008, 17:30

Nope, there's still quite a bit on there. Mainly older stuff though. You can see their mini-site here: http://www.bravo.co.uk/ufc/

Big fight this weekend.

Really looking forward to it. My money is on Bispin but the guy who he is fighting is very good.

Be a very good test.

Randy will give this WWF fighter a lesson in real fighting.
