UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

Re: UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

Was there last night. The card sucked bad up until the final two fights. I was at UFC 100 too and nothing was as loud as the fans for Forrest. You couldn't even hear his song playing.


The last two fights were awesome. I'm happy that I got to see Anderson and BJ fight in person. I thought it was awesome when Anderson was telling Forrest to bring it. That fight was sick because I actually thought Forrest was gonna do it.


BTW, there was a big fight or something in the stands during the Shane Nelson fight. Did anyone figure out what was happening because everyone was looking in that direction. Even Rogan turned around to see what was going on.

A guy was fighting a girl. I think he was arguing with the guy she was with. The girl threw popcorn and some other crap at him. He hopped down two rows and started throwing down with her. What was funny was she held her own and when she got taken out by security, the crowd around her was giving her high fives.

Edit: From the video it looks like the Bond is fighting another girl. All I saw was the blonde when I was there.

Also, Silva is leaving MW division and vacating his belt to fight 205 full time. should be interesting. (too lazy to post link)

Well then I don't believe you.

News from Forrest Griffin's camp emerged today that the injury to his jaw is false and that he does not have any injuries sustained from the fight. Many sites are now debating if the fight was indeed fixed, what are your thoughts?

fixed. no way. Think he pretty much got his arse kicked like everyone else Silva has fought. He was just over matched and over whelmed.

I don't really see how anyone can get the impression of it being fixed.

What makes you think that?

Many sites? The people saying the fight was fixed need to GTFO.

What would anyone associated with the UFC stand to gain by fixing a fight? The UFC fought for years to gain legitimacy, and when the UFC is more popular than ever they fix a fight to make one of their most mainstream and marketable fighters look like a joke. LOL.

He just got his *** humiliated, and fighters have got upset in different ways when they lose. Some have cried, including Forrest. Many suck it up and answer questions, including Forrest. Then there was Rampage getting depressed after losing to Forrest and fleeing from police on the wrong side of the road while hitting other cars in a huge UFC truck.

And of all the people to fix a fight for Anderson Silva makes the least amount of sense.

What makes people think the fight was fake? Forrest just got smashed...

Re: UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

Lol @ the fight being fixed. Like Anderson needs someone to take a dive.

Re: UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

All I'll say is this, I question the intelligence and the motives of anyone that honestly thinks the Griffin-Silva fight was fixed or even has/had the potential to.

Re: UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

You wouldn't even need to fix it as it was going to happen anyways. Griffin showed up, got his money, and left without getting torn and bloodied up.

Forgot to mention I like the new ring girl. Finally a blonde for some variety.

Re: UFC 101: Declaration - August 8th in Philadelphia

This was my 2nd UFC PPV in a row and I was very dissappointed. UFC 100 being so good probably had a lot to do with that, it was one of the best I've seen and I was super hyped for the Lesnar/Mir fight.

UFC 101 left me feeling unsatisfied. The Silva/Griffin fight was a total bust IMO, and the Penn/Florian fight was the only one I was feeling all night. After the Silva/Griffin letdown, I think I was just too pissed off to enjoy the ME like I could have.
