Looking Ahead to SuperNatural

[DaBigHurt]

After this UFC 45, which just makes u wonder, with all the money the UFC has compared to other fighting associations, just makes u wanna 4get really fast about this big mess. Now looking ahead, does any1 know who else is gonna fight in UFC 46, any rumors?

[grapplingengineer]

"Rumors" from MMAWeekly:

Lee Murray vs Jorge Rivera

Josh Thomson vs Hermes Franca

BJ Penn vs TBA

Randy Couture vs Vitor Belfort

Matt Serra vs Javier Vasquez

Pete Spratt vs Karo Parisyan

Babalu Sobral vs Rich Franklin

That's all I know.

[Lefty]

besides the big event of couture and belfort, i dont know any fights. either way, it cant be worse than the yesterdays card.

[Lefty]

so far three fights sound good, sobral/franklin, belfort/randy, and spratt/parisyan. i cant wait to see gen lebell's boy,parisyan back in action.

besides that, i'd have to say it's another weak card. dana white should get canned !

[grapplingengineer]

Yeh, there are some interesting fights. I look forward to Parisyan (not sure how to spell it) too. I'm torn about Lee Murray. On one hand some say he's tough, on the other (if he's the big mouth from England) he's a scumbag and exactly the type of fighters the UFC SHOULD be keeping their distance from. The UFC needs PROFESSIONAL fighters, that fight at a HIGHER LEVEL, and that not just being in ability to fight.

I'm going to try and forget all about the hideous disgrace that was UFC 45 and look forward to their next event, UFC 46, which looks a lot better.

There are some good fights that are rumored for the card like Couture/Belfort, Penn/Hughes, and Spratt/Parisyan, but I'm not expecting this PPV to be that great either.

With that said, I can't wait for the next PRIDE event......

[creampuff]

Yeah same here about PRIDE. With Pride you can pretty much at least guarantee yourself a big name in every fight they have.

[Ring Girl]

UFC 46 is going to be great!!!

COUTURE!!! (I could stop right there, but for the rest of you, I'll continue ;) )

Vitor Belfort going for a title shot! Vitor has tons of fans and when he trains right he puts on a good show - everyone will be wondering which Vitor will show and if Randy puts him back in the mental hospital!

And people have been waiting for BJ's return forever, much less if he fights Hughes! Can the Prodigy stop Hughes???

Everybody wants to see Karo Parisyan again, he won a lot of people over at UFC 44 and put on a good show. He and Spratt will entertain!

Lee Murray will get some interest just because of the Tito bar brawl story.

Josh Thomson's full of action, should be a good fight against Franca - no way it'll last three rounds!

Serra vs. Vasquez should be a BJJ clinic!

And Babalu vs. Franklin? Franklin is one of UFC's potential future stars and Babalu's put on some great performances this past year - I can't wait to see these two guys!

C'mon guys - this is going to be a great show!

[johndoe]

C'mon guys - this is going to be a great show!


I concur

With the absolute crap that UFC 45 was, UFC 46 better be AWESOME or else I'm going to be pissed.

And Ring Girl, you ran down the card and seemed pretty excited, but how do you know which 1-3 fights their going to cut out?

[dogofwar]

Any time you get to see Couture and Matt Hughes fight the same night it's worth it..

Matt Hughes's submission last time was like poetry.

[debacle]

the card might look good from here, but with them cutting out a couple matches again like they most likely will, it will still put me in a damn bad mood for the show.

And if doesn't run AT LEAST 3 HOURS I'm quitting on ordering UFC ppv for good.

[debacle]

we can also be assured of one thing, no matter how good or bad UFC 46 is, the next Pride event we see will be better.

[snake-eyes]

"debacle"- i agree, i think the card should be really good, but with the past performance and the cutting out of 3 fights, the UFC has along way to go to gain my confidence.

[dogofwar]

Last night was bad but it was just one show..

I'm not given up on the UFC. I have watched the boxing shows that were just plain bad also. Sometimes things just don't work out..

[Ring Girl]

No I haven't heard - I'm sure once it gets closer and the official card comes out, we'll learn. I'm going to see it live since it's in Vegas and I wouldn't miss Randy for anything.

[debacle]

on one hand I agree with you fully and if the next event is great I won't give up on the company.

on the other hand, no matter how good the event is, if they give me only 2 hours and 15 minutes running time again, I'm done with them.

[sabre]

i watched 44 because i wanted to see randy beat tito. but did you notice in 44 how many debut's to ufc fighters were in it. A LOT . but other then that show i haven't ordered a ufc since 41. i get all the pride shows . ufc just isn't worth it to me.

Yep, I only order the UFC PPV's that I think have action packed cards.
