What's a 100 bucks when one has 1,000,000 in his bank account?

lol...I wish I had that much laying around in my bank account. Besides I hate losing, no matter how much money is involved.

[Kachino]

Total class from Griffin in victory as well as in defeat...

[Sthabs]

Wow crazy 3rd round for Evans
He s like the Devils, I always think he s gonna loose but somehow he always find a way to win, props to him, when he caught Griffins foot he put him in a really bad spot and started pounding on him ,it doesnt happen often but he did a really good job there.


I m disappointed for Silva and Nogueira, those guys are past their prime now and it shows imo , I could add Krocop to that list too
I dont think we ll see them fight the same way they used to but those guys are already hof to me...

Well I don't know how you all feel. But for me UFC 92 was a success.

Probably not, but he hasn't been the same since he left PRIDE.

Big success for me too, didnt end the way i wanted but it was very good fights.
Cant wait for GSP vs Penn or Lesnar vs Mir will probably be an exellent fight too

I just looked at the schedule for UFC 94. I'm really hyped for the GSP vs Penn fight. But there's also a few others that I'm really looking forward to as well.

Yeah I agree, I would have been a little happier if Forrest would have won. But I found most of the fights tonight to be entertaining.

I'm a huge GSP fan, plus I really like Penn. So I'm really looking forward to those two going at it again.

Lesnar vs Mir is definitely one I'm marking on my calendar.

Wanderlei Silva d. Quinton Jackson
CB Dollaway d. Mike Massenzio
Forrest Griffin d. Rashad Evans
Frank Mir d. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Mir will pull off the upset.
Griffin will handle Evans pretty easily.
Silva will let Jackson tire himself and then take advantage.
Kongo is going to destroy Turk.
Hamill has an easy night.

Oh man, I would have bet the farm on Nog.... Thank god i'm not a betting man.

Great card, brutal to no end, but I'm a bit heart broken with the Silva KO. I love the guy and seing him go down like that hurts. I think he hangs it up. He will remain the biggest icon in mma for a while, to me at the very least.

Great card, a huge success.

A part of me just died... My magical Pride world is fading slowly and it hurts. I won't pin all against roids(even tough it probably is a huge factor), but rather aging. These guys took so much punishment that downhill is a steep slope.

Cro Cop, Wand, Hendo, Big Nog are all guys I praised and followed throughout their careers, and they are fading.

I hope Shogun can carry the rest because I will be in total shock at the quality of the UFC or rather the domination of the UFC bred fighters.

Congrats to Rashad and good luck against Machida..... he'll need it.

Yeah, I felt bad for them too, especially Nogueira who has taken way too many beatings. Mir is hardly the best striker he has faced and Mir was tagging him at will. Very sad to see. He has lost the ability to react and can't pull the trigger himself. Let's hope he calls it career - one of the best mma careers ever!

wow, what a great ppv! Some great fights!

I've never bought an MMA DVD before, but this may be my first.

I have the first 15 events, plus the 22nd burnt.. but I may buy this one. I do want to pick up the GSP victory over Hughes the first time.

I'm a bit late but here are my few random thoughts on UFC 92 :

- Kongo gnp was nice but i'm still not convinced about the guy. He will have to do that against better competition to show that he's championship material.

- I'm glad to see Rampage got his revenge but i feel bad for the Axe Murderer at the same time since i like both guys. Wandy is clearly not the same fighter he was before getting KTFO by Cro Cop and i don't think he ever will be again. 4 losses in his 5 last fight with 3 of them by brutal KOs. I hate to say it but i think that he should retire or maybe move down to 185.

- Mir completely dominating Big Nog was extremely surprising to me and i sure as hell didn't expect that. Granted , Nog didn't look that great against Sylvia and Herring either (despite winning) but he really was on another **** level last night. No head or foot movement at all , was slower than ever and looked like he was just asking Mir to beat his ass. Very disappointing performence and i think that he and Wandy are pretty much at the same point in their career. That said i think Nog has a bigger chance to comeback from his loss but i'm not sure he will be at the top ever again.

- Lesnar will beat Mir in the rematch. Brock would have destroyed Nog as well last night.

- Rashad is for real. I don't like the guy but i can't deny is talent. Aside from BJJ , the guy seems well rounded in every other area of the game and showed it again last night. Very quick , good KO power and good wrestling. Granted i never bought into the whole Griffin hype but he's still a good fighter and a challenge for anyone in the division. I don't know who will be next in line for the title but it's going to be interesting to see what he can do against Machida and Rampage.

- That new octogon girl was hot but Arianny is still hotter.

- I see some people complaining about a quick stoppage in the Mir fight but it was the right decision. Nog was out.]

- That Pat Berry leg kick was pretty nice.

Now i just can't wait for UFC 94. Penn vs GSP II is going to be a awesome . Will most likely skip UFC 93 though since nothing on the card interest me. Franklin/Hendo has the potential to be a nice fight but i won;t pay 60$ just for it. Will download it later instead
