Hell yeah! I think it should be a very interesting match. Explosive KO power vs. ridiculous elusiveness.
Who do you think takes it?
I really can't call this one. |

well said... machida gets a lot of flack for not being very exciting... i have to disagree... i think he's amazing to watch... he's a technician... a guy who simply waits for his opponent to make a mistake... then destroys them when given the chance.
i'm pulling for machida... though evans has been very impressive his last two fights, knocking out both liddel and forest. |

I think a lot of the time, that distinction separates casual fans from true fans. Can't always expect a torrent of strikes.
I really enjoy Machida's fights. He certainly is a technician...
What I really like about Machida is how he does the opposite of what you expect--like stepping into people when they wind up for big punches. I think he gets FAR less credit than he deserves. It takes a ridiculous amount of skill to pull of what he does in the octagon.
Well, at least he isn't in Dana's doghouse like Okami... *sigh*
Well, I guess we'll see what happens this weekend. Kind of wondering how the Matt and Matt match is gonna turn out as well. |

nice one, bloopity... yeah, i agree... to do what he does, is off the charts in terms of skill and patience... controlling the adrenaline rush is something the top guys have in common... (fedor and spider to name a few)
matt and matt... i'm looking forward to that one, too... watching season 6 of TUF gets you more in tune with the grudge between these two.
dana's doghouse... jesus, anderson silva's in his doghouse at the moment... that should give you an indication of how no one is safe in his stable. (although anderson deserves to be after his last fight, lol) |

| Missing the action down here in virtually MMA-free Indonesia. Can someone give me the lowdown on the fights? Will miss the early morning crowd at the Wolfhound viewing this one. Enjoy, lads. |

I typically stream it off of Justin.tv
What you could maybe do is, if there isn't a delay between the Korean broadcast and the online stream is turn the volume off on your TV and listen to the audio of the stream. |

You can stream it off myp2p.eu or justin.tv if you're up during the event.
Also, I think Sherdog would have a much better play-by-play than any of us could come up with.
Basically, the fights are as follows:
Main Card
Rashad evans v. Lyoto Machida (Quinton Jackson*)
Matt Hughes v. Matt Serra
Drew McFedries v. Xavier Foupa-Pokam (James Irvin*)
Dan Miller v. Chael Sonnen (Yushin Okami*)
Sean Sherk v. Frank Edgar
Prelim Card
Brock Larson (Josh Koshcheck*) v. Chris Wilson
Patrick Barry v Tim Hague
Phillipe Nover v Kyle Bradley
Krzysztof Soszynkski (Houston Alexander*) v. Andre Gusmao
Yoshiyuki Yoshida v. Brandon Wolff
Dave Kaplan v. George Roop
Quite a good event, albeit full of injuries. All the asterisks are the fighters originally slated to fight but were pulled out due to injury. Lots of TUF fighters from the season that just past.
Pretty awesome main card considering the amount of perennial favorites and rising stars: Hughes, Sonnen, Sherk, Evans, Machida |

| forgot about patrick barry's fight... former k-1 fighter with some serious pop in his kicks and punches... just hope he shows up with some takedown defense. |

www.officialtvports.com practically always gives multiple links to MMA, boxing, wrestling, and other PPV events.
It's been well worth the $22 yearly membership price.
But most of their UFC events are carried on one of the channels on the TVU player - which you can download for free. |
