I ------- hate the 3 hours of "This is how it all started back when Joe Schmoe was born back in a small town in Alabama where he was born to a white woman in a hospital on the corner of 16th Avenue and Jackson..........." ---- that ---- is gay. Who gives a ----? Let them ------- fight already.

The first fight was a giveaway. Sanchez overpowered that other guy by quite a bit. I'm going to be so tired in the morning......

wow, thats all i got to say about that fight.

i honestly thought that Stephen had won that fit. he had more power hits, bloodied up forest quite good, landed some big knees in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, and then had the ability and strength to pull off that kick at the end (which did land, just not where it should have).

good thing both got the contracts, both deserved it.


Ken Shamrock is washed up, seriously, go to a nursing home already, he is one of the best UF ever, just not anymore. color comentary is where he should go in the sport, not back to the octagon.


however, IMO that was ONE of the best fights, however, i dont believe it to be the best, they are amatures and just swung at each other, A LOT. there wasnt very much technical fighting, defense went out the door in the second round, and the match only lasted 15 mins and they should have went to sudden death to determine the winner.

there are only 2 matches that i consider to be the best fights of all time due.....

Ken Shamrock vs Hoice Gracy UFC 1
Oleg Tactarov vs Hoice Gracy (no idea which UFC it was in)



and Tank Abbott is one of my favorite UF of all time, but boy, he sure cant take a punch for ----! but you better not let him land one first!

remember the fight against that big som-bitch, one punch, 5 seconds into the fight, dude goes into spasims on the mat, lol, i knew then Tank was crazy!

Forrest won becuase he scored alot more technical points. Forrest was always the one doing the takedowns and was throwing Bonner around. Bonner did land a bunch of solid blows but the match was only a point off so I think it was the takedowns the did it. It was a good fight becuase they were amatures just giving it all they got swinging at each other. I would rather watch that anytime than the professionals on the ground dry humping each other going for submission and ----.

i agree that forest may have been the more technical fighter, but both of them threw each other to the ground a couple times and a couple times they slipped and fell on top of each other.

i feel that neither showed more power over the other, but i feel that Stephen landed the "bigger" blows and landed more jabs.

i personally would have scored rd 1 to Forest, and round 2 and 3 to Stephen.

i think round 3 was the pivot round for the judges cause it could have went either way.

Forest won rd 1 hands down
Stephen won rd 2 hands down down due to the cut he put on Forest

now for rd 3, well, i think both landed equally good shots, but what swayed me personally to Stephen was the fact that Forest was showing some very bad signs of fatigue (resting his arms and shaking them, pulling back from Stephen to rest, stalling when they were on the fence, and then when Stephen landed that really good shot on the fence Forest RAN away and left his back to Stephen, but when Stephen would get hit with a shot, he never "ran away" but did back out)

but hey, its over with, they both did a damn good job, and both deserved the contracts.

however, i would take the cash value of the Scion, that thing looks like a lunchbox on wheels

i forgot to add, i dont think either of them will do well in the UFC.

the weight class they are fighting in is a tough bracket and i dont think by watching both of these guys fight over the past few weeks that either of them have the ability to beat the best in their class.

Damn, I agree with everything above. I thought the other guy should have won the fight, but he still got the contract so whatever. Shamrock needs to step down. He knew coming in he was over the hill fighting someone 11 years younger in their prime. He should have just known his place and stayed out of the ring. Racked himself up what, loss #9? He's still a bad mother ******, no doubt about that, especially at his age. It was kind of sad seeing him getting pounded on and him not being able to defend himself for ----. He just layed there and took a hard beating.

while stephan did land some good shots, half of them were when he was looking at the ground and swinging.

i watched it, great fight. i like steven more but they were both good.

shamrock just kinda got screwed when he fell down, it was probably anyones fight before he fell.

it seems like all the UFC guys are all cool with eachother, and that other fighting league where they break eachothers arms and ---- is kinda gay.
