Anyone still watching this?I think its the final tonight and 1 of the brits is still it He has seemed quite impressive so far as well so he might pull it off.He won lasts night with a cracking flying knee

Shamrock comes accross as a bit of a head IMO(not that I would tell him to his face obviously)and I can see Tito giving him even more of a beating in their next fight

It is the final tonight, and it's on Bravo tomorrow. Tonight on Bravo is Ultimate Fight Night 4.

I think Bisping is going into the final as a heavy favourite - it will do UK MMA the world of good to have an English fighter in the UFC.

Who cares about Tito and Ken, it's the other match from UFC 61 that interests me, Sylvia vs Arlovski. Those 2 can kick some serious ass!

And good luck to the Brit, I think they want to open up UFC in the UK and he will spearhead that campaign.

oh come on dude - its got to be tito and ken as the better fight. Both Arlovski and silvia are really only 2nd rate fighters and would get anhilated in pride. Why doesn't dana white breathe some fresh meat into championship fights instead of having these 2 go toe to toe for the 3rd time. Bring Fedor Emelianenko, mirko, or bob sapp across and then we'd see how much talent they really have.
Not a dig fella but some of these match ups are really over hyped

It's that hype that's turning UFC into the biggest PPV success in the US and as a business UFC is doing everything right. The likes of Fedor et al, while being great fighters, mean absolutely nothing to the majority of mainstream MMA fans I America so there's no point bringing them in to make the existing UFC roster look second rate. Down the line UFC could introduce the odd fighter or two but the American market is so very different to the Japanese market and lots of the PRIDE fighters while being great in the fighs, don't have the charisma that brings a lot of the fans to UFC.

You are joking right??Bob Sapp is absolutley terrible,hes just a huge freak,no talent whatsoever and is a perfect example of the overhyped talentless fighters you are talking about
Have a look here for some examples of Sapp's breathtaking skill

Anywhooo,well done to Bicksby(sp?),he absolutely anhialated his opponent,he seems like a decent bolke to and looks like he will do pretty well in the UCF .The middleweight fight wasnt too bad either,a bit too much groud work for my taste but very technical and the 2 fighters were constantly escaping from and applying chokes and holds.

From what I here, Pride will be removed from TV in Japan as they have links to the Yakuza. No TV, no advertising for their shows, no revenue. Could be the end for them if they don't sort it out.

And I still say that Shamrock vs Tito is a 2nd rate main event. Shamrock is 38, this will probably be his last fight, I really don't care for Tito either so I'm not fussed about their match.
