Silva-------Henderson
Herring-----Kongo
Leben-----Sakara
Arlovski----O'brien
Tanner----Okami
Fitch-------Wilson
Koscheck---Hazalett
Sanchez----Bielkheden

Should be a great fight card....I cant wait to see silva vs henderson, I'm hoping Henderson pulls out the win but Silva seems pretty unstoppable so we will see!

I'm also hoping to see Leben beat Sakara, should be a great matchup!

I think hendo will beat him. Im a little pissed they put arlovski on an under card fill in fight.

rigamaroles · Mar 2, 2008

I'm pretty pissed about arlovski being on the undercard too, not exactly the best way to get one of your major headliners to resign.

However, I am trying to find that fight online, any links?

Man, the Silva vs. Henderson fight was probably one of the best ones I've seen in a long time. I know Henderson was the crowd favorite and held out longer than I expected him to, but Silva proved once again that he's in a class all his own as I knew he would.

There was of course the typical booing from the American fans both before and after the fight....but I expected as much. One day I hope the crowd will wake up give credit where credit is due and not choose to praise or chastise a fighter based on his particular geographical location on the map. Anderson Silva (and fighters like him) is everything this sport needs right now.

Anyone catch the Koscheck vs. Hazalett fight at the end? It was a good one too.

rigamaroles · Mar 2, 2008

Yeah, the card was pretty good. My girlfriend called it though, Silva, Submission, Second Round. I had him for a TKO in the 3rd. Good fight. I thought the Kongo/Herring was a good fight too, and I expected it to be boring.

Agreed! It applies in some circumstances, like GSP, Arlovski, Cro Cop (pre last two fights), Karo, etc. Should be more often though.

The funny thing is, is that you know the Canadian Fans are going to boo the **** out of Matt Serra in Montreal this spring whe he and GSP step into the ring. But I'm betting that has more to do with the fact that Serra is a general ass clown with little tallent and a big chip on his shoulder, rather than the fact that Canadian's just don't like American fighters as it seems to be when the roles are reversed.

You’re about as objective as an old Soviet Olympic judge.

So....are you trying to tell me that Serra isn't a total tool box and that everyone will love him because he's such a great athlete? If he was more of a stand up, respectful guy with a good dose of humility along with talent like GSP is, I wouldn’t have an opinion about it, but the fact that he’s generally a jerk and most people can’t stand him and we all know he's nowhere near the calibre of fighter that GSP, or even Matt Hughes was is going to be reflected at the fight in Montreal.....just as it is in ever other fight he’s been part of.

The guy is a very accomplished fighter & you’re acting like he’s a bum. I don’t recall him getting booed prior to any of his fights. You are just making excuses for what will most likely happen in your country that you like to criticize others for.

I think silva was booed because it was columbus ohio and rich franklin is an ohio native. As far as dominating that fight silva did not.. Hendo won the first round. Which showed a big flaw. If henderson stuck to game plan we would have a new champion.

I wouldnt go as far as that. Henderson won the first round, but did nothing. He laid on top of Silva for 3 minutes without advancing or doing any damage. Short hammerfists to an ear is nothing but annoying. The fact that Silva kept a wrestler and ground and pounder of that calibre at bay for that long shows strength, not weakness. If henderson stuck to game plan by keeping the pressure on him on his feet he would have been ko'd instead of tapped out. Talk about weakness? 8 seconds left in the second round but he tapped.

RsStanG1987 · Mar 3, 2008

The judges gave the first round to henderson. henderson also Dazed silva a bit you can see it but Silva quickly shook it off. Im not knocking silva. He is definately a great fighter. id like to see him move up weight and fight rampage.

thanks for the link. Great fight. Dont think anyone at 185 can stop him.

It would be interesting because we saw what he just did to Henderson and Rampage couldnt do it in 5 rounds. I'd actually like to see him fight at 170.

He might have to, he's pwned everyone at 185

Nobodies saying he isn't accomplished. Hell, they're all accomplished fighters, but those accomplishments are overshadowed by his cocky attitude and lack of respect (much like Matt Hughes) for his fellow competitors. At least guys like GSP and A Silva have a respectful attitude and a touch of humility to back up that tallent.

Therian · Mar 3, 2008

Just watched the Silva fight. Very nice. That knee was so very close to KOing Henderson.

So if Serra were Canadian and GSP were the American they’d still boo him? Yeah, sure,OK, I’m buying it.

Silliness.
