Official UFC 66 Discussion Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

[BPP]

Carmelo Marrero Vs. Gabriel Gonzaga

Yushin Okami Vs. Rory Singer


Anthony Perosh Vs. Christian Wellisch

those matches take place before the live event...perosh-wellisch started the night off...decent fight..lots of down time, but went back and forth alot

singer was more impressive than I figured he'd be...won some people over...noone liked him much tho due to his attitude on TUF

gonzaga-morerro was nothing special from what I remember

[BPP]

Woooo Chuck wins by TKO.

Like Randy said, I think Chuck's punches were just hitting Tito's arm on the ground, maybe the fight was stopped too early.

big screen replay in person...tito didnt defend although they werent doing damage...as the ref moved in, tito spun to get up....sucks, but was tito's fault for sitting there for so long...kind of a karma for the way he beat shamrock...didnt hurt him bad, but hit enough without response to suffice a stoppage...and this coming from someone who bet on Tito(I got -225 odds!)

[BPP]

he did mention that he thought he broke his foot on a kick to chuck's knee.

he was late to his after party due to going to the hospital for an xray on his foot and a cat scan

[BPP]

chris leben sucks ass, i hate him.. and tito needs to stop stepping away and throwing hes getting no power into those punches

he was much better than last time...in the exchange that dropped him for good, he caught chuck with a decent one that moved chuck's head back, but chuck has a hell of a jaw

in person tito boxed much better than expected

[BPP]

overall:

cool experience...some fans do spend lots of $$ on beer, but was a decent crowd...dunno how it came across on the tv, but Leben is absolutely hated....90-10 boo to cheer.....forrest was one of the biggest pops...chuck/tito crowd at the weigh-in was 75 tito/25 chuck...at the PPV was about 70-30 chuck to tito fans....chants back and forth, VERY hot crowd for the title fight.

tito's entrance gives goosebumps in person, awesome stuff

great entrance music tonight(dark matches too)

bisping was a huge crowd favorite...great comeback

arlovsky a huge favorite as well, and brutal KO after the restart

production was weird...show started 1:45 before going live for dark matches...then the PPV started...but then they showed you guys on PPV the alves match...that was a dark match....when they showed it to you, they replayed it for us on the big screen to fit it in on the PPV...that blew...beer time for everyone...otherwise pretty cool

pics, etc tomorrow

[BPP]

biggest dissapointment:

no big announcement...crocop announced with barely any buildup via advertisement...no pic, no clips, nada...no live announcement by dana, no appearance...no big announcement at all

kinda gay IMO

Interesting.. How did the fans react to the announcemnt of Rampage and Cro Cop? Because on tv all I could hear were crickets when they were showing Rampage.

I just wish Dana woud of at least brought one of them into the ring and did a little bit with em.. Hell we didn't even get to see a picture of Cro Cop on the ppv broadcast.. They let wandy get into the ring and it wasn't even a done deal. Why they didn't at least give Rampage a little mic time is beyond me.

rampage they showed us a few times...quiet, but some recognized him

crocop got a bigger cheer during his video package...nothing huge, but a majority applauded/cheered quietly

seemed more had heard of crocop


was VERY dissapointed with that as well

gotta make sure that weekend is good for me, but I sure planned to

Tito winning round 2 was BS. IMO the fight should have been stopped in rd. 1 after Chuck was punching the **** out of him.

they probobly gave Tito that round because of the "takedown" even though chuck got right up and gave him a huge elbow in the eye.

I agree tat the second round was more a draw, not that it should have been stopped after the first punding (in 1 round). But that huge elbow hardly made contact, just touched his nose a little (if it was full on his eye he would have shown more damage)...
