UFC 66

This is a loaded card...

-UFC 66: DECEMBER 30 IN LAS VEGAS

Main Card Bouts:
-Chuck Liddell (#1 Light Heavyweight in the World)* vs. Tito Ortiz (#7 Light Heavyweight)*
-Andrei Arlovski (#6 Heavyweight)* vs. Marcio "Pe de Pano" Cruz
-Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine
-Michael Bisping vs. Eric Schafer
-Chris Leben vs. Jason MacDonald


This isn't some typical boxing 'Main Event and a bunch of crap' card, this card is stacked with 5 good matchups. You have the two biggest Light Heavyweights in America in a rematch in Liddell\Tito 2.

You have the former Heavyweight Champion starting his comeback against Cruz, who KO'd the man who submitted the man in UFC.

You have Forrest Griffin, arguably the UFC's most exciting fighter against TUF 2's Keith Jardine. If Forrest wins, look for him to face Tito in a rematch sometime in 2007.

You have the winner of TUF 3 Michael Bisping in his first match since winning the finals.

And in what could be the most interesting match of the night, Chris Leben against Jason Macdonald. Leben has that 'Tommy Morisson' mystique to him, and he can bang with the best of them, but as Anderson Silva proved, his chin is a bit suspect too. And Macdonald is coming off of his upset over Jens Pulver, and looking to make it two in a row.

A great card from top to bottom.

You're right. I'm not sure what made me write Jens Pulver.

 

It's an okay card. The Athlete vs. Leben is very interesting, so is Liddell/Ortiz and Griffin/Jardine should be a fun fight.

I am not interested in Arlovski and Bisbing.

 

Griffin vs Jardine has the makings of FOTY. That should be just brutal. We all know how tough Griffin is...but if he stands with Jardine, he might very well die.

Arlovski will slaughter that homo Brazilian. Won't even be competetive, IMO.

Liddell v Ortiz II is exciting in that you have a top light heavy, vs. a guy nobody likes. Personally, I don't care who wins, because Liddell doesn't set my world on fire either.

Rest of the card seems ok. I always enjoy watching Leben go at it with someone. I guess next time someone yells "KNEE!" at him though, maybe he understands what to do about it.

:jester:

 

I thought in the UFC they fought the best guys in their weight class. #1 against #7 ain't da best.

 

At least it's better then boxing where there's barely anyone good enough to even be considered #7 in their weight class, much less #1.

Anyways after the main event what fight is actually worth watching?

 

Leben vs. McDonald.

That should be a good fight.

 

All of them.

Griffin\Jardine should be a war, Leben is always entertaining, Bisping is having his first UFC fight since winning the TUF final and he's 11-0 winning every fight by KO or submission, and it should be interesting to see how Arlovski fares in his first fight back since losing the belt then the rematch to Tim Sylvia.

Seriously, this is a good card, much better then the next UFC PPV on Superbowl weekend, when you'll see Silva and GSP walk through Lutter in Serra in a pair of mismatches.

I hope so as there is no boxing and watching the Giants-Redskins game will be bad for my heart im probably going to have to watch this.

 

please dont, I dont want to hear you bitch about watching something you consider so boring....

you're like a dog who constantly goes past his boundaries, even though he knows the shock collar will get him

 

I say what i see. If its good i will say it is. If it sucks i will say it does. Hopefully this time i can stay awake for the Main Event :jester: .

I will use my SA (Stay Awake)scale to rate this show.

 

LMAO at RJJ. He always bashes MMA, but he post here as much or more than anyone. Why do you say you hate it when you comment on it. You post about it on a message board. You are a closet MMA fan if I have ever seen one.

 

his email name is something like "titoortizisgod" or something like that:jester:

no joke

 

This comes from a guy who hates on everything and everybody

 

:nono: Ike loves vicodin and black women

 

Uh, let's just limit that to vicodin.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the #7 ranking is in the world, putting Ortiz nearer to #2 or #3 in the UFC, which is the only available fights for Lidell.

Besides, everyone wants to see this fight happen regardless of what the ranking is.

 

yeah, mma rankings arent like boxing......the top tier athletes in MMA are alot closer to one another than in boxing.....MANY more "upsets" in MMA than in boxing

 

I like Ortiz his fights are entertaining. His fights with Shamrock not Ken (damn i can't even remember his brothers name) and Metzger are fun to watch.

 

Frank

 

RJJ, are you going to order UFC 66? do you think it will be good? isn't Ortiz just going to get out-wrestled?

 

:nono: Ortiz is a better wrestler than Chuck, but that doesnt mean he can keep Chuck from standing, and thats were Tito is in trouble

 

Frank and Ken aren't really brothers. They were just adopted by the same guy, like Tyson by that pedophile.

I think I might go to a bar to watch it. And Chuck won't out wrestle Tito. I think he will knock him out, in the first 3 minutes.

 

I get it for free so ill check it out as there is no boxing tonight. I think Ortiz will get KTFO like he did last time.

 

Thanks couldn't remember his name for a New York minute. He was a good announcer too.

 

someone do a round by round as I am not watching it:holla:

 

Wtime do you think the Main Event will start?
