  • Beau Lensing

    main event for 145, given the time i’d like to see Forrest Griffin go up to Heavy Weight) he is a big light heavy weight.  And challenge Big Nog.  I just feel that the light heavy weight division is getting to tough for Forrest.

  • Jamie

    If the ufc is going to give us a fight card like this every time i say dont bother coming ffs we want big names coming down under we only get it once every two years or so so ufc give us a good fight card not a prelim fight card man thats sad.and i dont care what people think im only saying how i feel we are paying top dollar to see this.

  • Navy Seal

    @Jamie, quit your crying, beggars cant be choosers. I say be glad the UFC bothers to even have shows in Canada. If you are a real UFC fan and appreciate the sport of MMA, then you would understand you do not need top quality names all through out a card to have a good show! There have been COUNTLESS times where no namers and up n comers on a card put on better shows then the top p4p fighters. Plus, Canadians are fags and Anderson Silva will eat GSP for breakfast (with GSP’s overrated, cheating ass, pet for the UFC and Dana’s bitch!).

  • Steve

    Navy seal is obviously a moron that seems to know nothing about UFC, first off I don’t know how many time Dana White has said it but Canada is the Mecca for UFC thats why they hold their biggest events here.  Secondly its true what Jamie said, if UFC only comesz once every 2 years to Montreal we definately deserve an amazing fight card because Montrealers are filling out 23,000 + seats.  Finally, to say George st.pierre is overrated proves just how blind you are seeing that he basically whiped out a full generation of fighters at WW and has been basically untouched in years

    Atlanta baby! yeah!

  • Navy Seal

    @ Steve – Are you another Canadian fag also riding GSP’s dick? I don’t fall for the bullshit and you need to be in tune cause Brazil is now the MECCA you call it, outside of the US. The last 2 events in Brazil Dana even stated himself the crowd was much more energetic and look how fast they returned to Brazil after Silva’s demolishment of Okami. The are yet again having an event in Brazil, also planning a Brazil TUF season out there. Has Dana mentioned a TUF season out in Canada?? NO! Because yall hold on to GSP for dear life cause thats your ONLY dope fighter and you call me blind?! GSP is a monkey worker for the UFC. you have 3 Brazilian champs currently in the UFC, wake up and stop choking on your own bullshit. Canadians are fags and Dana only went/goes there cause of the $ that yall payout for 1 man’s glory but no other Canadian dope fighters.

    @ Steve – GSP has lost to Matt Hughes and Matt Serra during his UFC career. Anderson Silva is undefeated in his UFC career and has more title defenses…..nuff said

    • blackfalcon40

      navy seal is Okie Oil Man You better hide son!!  For whom the bell tolls!!

    • Nikolai

       Anderson Silva is a chump anyways. Give him another fight with Dan Henderson and he will take him out. Has Anderson Silva had any good competitors aside from the rare few? He’s quick for his weight class and everyone he’s fought and dominated have been sluggish strikers looking for the big KO. He hasn’t really fought anybody technical or even quick. Put him in the ring with a fighter that’s quick like him and he will have difficulties. Big deal he’s undefeated in his UFC career. He’s still lost and will again. Did you even watch the way he lost? Watch this video. http://youtu.be/267i7rKeECA
      If he’s so gosh damn great, how was he taken out with this pithy little move. He had the heel hook in for for mere seconds before he tapped. Oh wait, Anderson claimed to have “a foot injury” and that’s why he tapped. Give me a break. Who’s riding who’s dick now Navy Seal?
      I’m not saying the man can’t fight good because he is an exceptionally well fighter holding multiple black belts,but for you to say GSP is extremely over-rated is a ridiculous statement. How is he over-rated? Is it because he has beaten EVERYONE worth fighting in the Welterweight division? He’s beaten experts that have excellent striking, ground game, submissions, strength, etc.. Keep your mouth shut if the only thing you have to say are opinions. Chances are, nobody gives a shit. 

      • Navy Seal

        Fuck you, another e-thug getting butt hurt cause the truth comes out. Like the fighters GSP went against were any more renowned than Silva’s opponents. I’ve seen that video plenty of times with Silva’s loss. No one gives a shit about that loss and that’s when Silva was still coming up. Look at Pac, he don’t get bullshit about his losses as a pro boxer cause its all in the past. Its what these fighters do now. My simple argument was with the Canadian complaining about a shitty card coming to Canada when they should be grateful Dana brings fights down there. Its the pure truth that a lot of Canadians hold dearly to GSP because that is their only hope. GSP in his UFC career has lost twice. The UFC is the golden goose of the MMA world. You fight the best of the best in the UFC regardless what weight class. Silva makes it look easy, Dana says the same thing. Thats why people think he doesn’t have competition but is that Silva’s fault for bullshit fighters (if any) in the middle weight division?! So quit your crying, record speaks for itself, undefeated in the UFC with more title defenses than anyone else. Comes back from adversity in submitting Sonnen’s bitch ass and is already crowned the best MMA fighter of our era (NOT Fedor!). So quit sippin the haterade and shut your own mouth for the bullshit you spur out.

        • Sevfrecon

          You have a big mouth and talk an awful lot about “Dick”, I suppose you got to see plenty of action in your BUD/s training..ooh so sorry you were the BITCH of the team and rang the bell. I would like to see you get in the ring with Brian Stan, I would pay to see that fight because since you are already someones Bitch he would make you his new Bitch!!! Good Night Bitch!!!

    wow Mac Danzig is back…

  • Coocooman

    Canadians need to stick to hockey or whatever sport they play. Silva is the p4p kings and GSP is just the wannabe who is scared to fight Diaz faking injuries and not knowing how to dance in the club lol

  • Sooner3511

    Gsp would eat anderson Silva. Unfortunately, my crystal balls tells me Sonnen’s not gonna mess up a wet dream and win this time. Over

    • Jupitertaurus02

      Sonnen had a dominant performance on a injured Anderson Silva. It has already been confirmed and both Dana and the UFC have the medical records to prove it. So yea, major props to a man who can put a beating on an injured fighter. Not to mention how embarrassing it was to be so dominant for 4.5 rounds and loose your chance to be a new champ getting triangled. Now Sonnen wants to cry about it stating “it what parallel universe can a man win with wrapping his legs around you?”. Well Sonnen, wake up, this isn’t a parallel universe this is planet earth where people loose from tapping out to jiu jitsu guys all the time. You tapped, period. You decided to fight in MMA, period. That means you have to embrace all aspects and hey, if you don’t then so be it but you will and have suffered the consequences so many times tapping out. No one takes Sonnen serious, they know his trash talk is for marketing but deep down he knows Silva is now going to put a whooping. Silva at 100%, in his hometown and having the chance to experience Sonnen’s style, Silva now will come through and show the world why he is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. GSP is very talented but plays it safe. He is the Floyd Mayweather of MMA (minus the trash talk, nice guy). Majority of folks want to see a fight, not someone play it safe.  

      • Sooner3511

        Well said Jupiter! You said alot of shit I can understand totally. I do now remember him being injured. I forgot that but you have to say it was an absolute shut out up to the submission. Damm, I live for the MMA
         

  • Brown Pride Mexican King

    for ufc 145 fight card I pick evans to in the main event rory,brendon,torres,homnick,mark,griggs,thompson,anthony,escudero,and blanco to win at ufc 145

  • http://twitter.com/bell1423 bell1423

     jones will win the fight ,no doubt.  evans will give a good try but will get knock out. jones to good ,long reach ,long legs. only needs to gain a bit of weight to fight heavy weight,already has the size,and the reach of one .evans a bit past his prime now.could beat most even at that. 

  • Rrrayrob

    Anderson Silva and John Jones should just sign at lightheavy weight and give us a real fight coming from this freakin washed up UFC.

  • brade13
