UFC 61: Bitter Rivals

[mack9]

Once again people are going for who they think is the popular one.
Arlovski beats Sylvia and Ortiz beats Shamrock.
I think its the other way around!

Hmmm... I'ma have to go with "the people" here.
I have a feeling the Ortiz-Shamrock bout will be a quick one, which ever way it goes. I'm thinking Arlovski-Sylvia will steal the show.

Either way it shall be an interesting one. 👍

Guess I should apply for a loan soon to order the Pay-Per-View.

I think Arlovski is gonna take it serious this time maybe have a little more respect for Silvia.
UFC Bitter Rivals will be a good one PPV of course but well worth the money or even to see in person.

i dunno mang... tito broke is leg (fracture) and i dunno how serious it is. why is tito always getting hurt? if he cant fight by then... forrest griffen will fight ken shamrock.

But I think they've done a good job of marketing the Ortiz Shamrock fight. I can't wait to see this one.

Did you watch UFC Ultimate Fighter this season? I can honestly say I was quite impressed with Tito on that show. Shamrock... not so much.

 

[mack9]

Yeah the last fight he and Tito was NOT the Ken Shamrock we are all so used to seeing. Ortiz took him down at will and pounded him on the ground.

I just think he'll need to defend against the takedown better, as well as attempt to take Tito down. We all know Ken can, or should I say has the ability to outstrike Tito, however, it's a matter of he does or not.

Wanderlei silva and Sakikaraba are going to be in the audience at ufc 61. i bet that the UFC won't even acknowledge their presence. wandy could probably beat everyone fighting that night.

what would be awsome is if they were going to announce a fight between the winner of tito/ken vs Wanderlei silva ... so many noobs dont even know who he is. just like all the noobs who didnt know who anderson silva was and thought he would get beat by Lebens.

 

[mack9]

How about a Tito/Wandy rematch in the UFC...

Unfortunately, Shamrock will destroy Ortiz, and Sylvia will beat Arlovski.
Well thats my prediction.

 

[Trussii651]

Well I sorta called that one, Arlovski-Sylvia didn't really steal the show, but it was a pretty good "boxing" match

Ortiz-Shamrock was a little anti-climactic, stopped too early but I'd say that ref pretty much saved Shamrock's life there. Tito is just too much for him, Ken's days of the "World's Most Dangerous Man" are long behind him. He should just retire imo, a rematch isn't even necessary, it's 2-0, that's it, you lose Ken.
Let's just move on to Ortiz-Chucky.
