jamesmark Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Who is your money on to win? Any predictions? Personally I would love to see Lesnar win by KO however I think Couture will win by tap out or win if it goes to points. EDIT: Can a mod change the poll to UFC 91 please.

bolarbag Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 A lot of kafuffle with Dana White, Couture spat the dummy(quiet rightly so), he's not been around as of late Couture to win:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Currently unable to check my listings, which channel and when is it? Setanta (sp) They have bought all the rights to it so no longer on Bravo. So Wait a few hours and then I believe it is available through something called torrent.

Jamesy W Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'd love to see Couture winning this, but I think Lesnar is far too big and powerful for him. I hope I am wrong though. The think the winner is to fight Emelianenko so whoever wins, we all win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I love having Setanta thrown in as part of my cable package, get to see all the decent sport these days I dont like UFC but might watch this one over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I love having Setanta thrown in as part of my cable package, get to see all the decent sport these days I dont like UFC but might watch this one over the weekend. I have Sky+ but am not prepared to pay another £10 a month for Setanta. My dad bought Setanta for the football then for some reason it was cut off. They said he'd missed a payment (direct debit, plenty of money in the account) but wouldn't tell him which month setanta wasn't payed, yet kept taking the direct debits every month since. Turned out it was the July payment, phoned up the bank and they said there was nothing wrong at that end and the payment had no reason not to go out.

Bobbeh Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think its a question of picking one or the other, there is enough sport on each of the packages to be happy with either choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The think the winner is to fight Emelianenko so whoever wins, we all win They are different organisations so that wont happen in the UFC. However, I think with Couture's relative experience in the UFC (I know Lesnar has a collegue wrestling background), he will take Lesnar into deep water, 2nd or 3rd round and win that way. He has fought huge guys before (Gonzaga, although not quite as big) so i think he will fair ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The think the winner is to fight Emelianenko so whoever wins, we all win problem with Lesnar is hes got no skills on the ground (good wrestler but...) I think unless Randy walks on to a big punch he will win by submission... mind you, that **** Frank Mir struggled to get a submission on him due to his strength and ended up with an ankle lock iirc Fedor V whoever will be awesome. Fedor will win of course I would pay lots of money to see Anderson Silva put on a (good) few pounds and fight Fedor That would be a killer IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have all the sentanta channels, have to say I prefer them to sky sports. The fact they have Joe Calzaghe and David Haye is enough for me and the deals they get with HBO. Plus Liverpool TV keeps me happy with the footy stakes.

Fedor will win of course I would pay lots of money to see Anderson Silva put on a (good) few pounds and fight Fedor That would be a killer IMO The thing with Lesnar is, that regardless of skills, he is massive. His physique is frightening, and he ain't exactly short on confidence. It wouldn't surprise me if he were to go for takedown after takedown. Another thing that doesn't bode to well for Couture is the fact that in the past he has struggled against the wrestling orientated fighters. It appears the Emilianenko fight is not gonna happen again. I read last Sunday that a deal had been brokered, and that it was planned to be Couture's swansong. It now looks unlikely (according to wiki) as they cannot come to an agreement. I'd be more interested in seeing Anderson Silva being allowed to fight Roy Jones Jnr in a boxing match, that would have been amazing.

Like you say, Randy may struggle due to the pure size and strength of Lesnar... He is way smaller and will expend lots more energy per 'grapple' I would guess. Re Fedor, that doesnt surprise me! Im not sure what it is apart from £££ that is preventing him from going to the UFC but I cant see him making anything like as much from the smaller competitions hes doing since Pride ended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 He is signed to Affliction is he not? There must be a whole load of red tape stopping them putting it together. Affliction even sponsor a host of big names from the UFC, Couture & St Pierre for instance. Back to 91 - The Florian Vs Stevenson fight should be a great fight.

jamesmark Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just finished watching this. What a great card, the fights were very good imho (not seen that many UFC's). Well done Lesnar, was an even then Brock caught him with a lucky punch but the aftermath of that was all one sided, Randy had no answer. Fingers crossed for a Lesner vs Mir title fight.

Jake Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Fingers crossed for a Lesner vs Mir title fight. eh? They only just had that one. Mir is a million miles from fighting for the title, IMO. He was looking like a future star, back in the day like, before the bike crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Mir fight will face Lesnar for a championship fight and unify the belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Lesnar is very, very strong and he doesn't half move fast for a huge guy. I'd love to see him up against Fedor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
