I thought Sylvia was the champ, did he lose while I wasnt paying attention?

by **Guest** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 10:00 pm

Those are MMAWeeklys rankings
He is the champ still in the UFC

by **Guest** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:43 am

Looks like Randy Couture is coming back and will fight Sylvia on the card, very nice addition to the card

Looks like Couture will announce he is coming out of retirement tonight on Inside the UFC on SPIKE TV at midnight, hosted by Joe Rogen...also the Iceman Chuck Liddell will be on...anyone catch Conan's interview last night with the Iceman..if not here it is

by **Guest** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:11 pm

I was there once for Gracie Fighting but as far as loge's go, I have no clue.
I guess I'll have to meet you in the loge and see Stank.

Probably 75-400 a ticket

Not too sure right now, but I know the lower level started at 300.00

by **sandlot33** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 11:51 pm

cheapest tickets are $200..they are sold out of everything else....my buddy tried getting the $100 seat 5 min after they went on sale and they were already gone...just goes to show how much this sport is blowing up....i cannot even watch boxing anymore

by **Guest** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:28 am

Two weeks from today

by **furls** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 4:52 pm

boxing is just not interesting anymore after watching the UFC as much as I do. I have always enjoyed fighting (ask any of the herds of guys on this board that went to school with me) and UFC most closely represents it.

Boxing has had serious credibility issues since the 40s and the slew of questionable decisions in the late 90s and early 00s didnt do much to help that. Coupled with a system that allows (and encourages) the best fighters to continually duck each other, boxing just isnt that interesting and hasn't been since Jake LaMotta fought Ray Robinson for the fourth time.

by **Guest** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:20 pm

I agree 200% Furls

by **Guest** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 2:26 pm

What day and time is everyone heading down?
I should be there Saturday around 3 or so.
I'm planning on going to eat at 5 and then going to the arena
If anyone wants to meet up, let me know.

by **furls** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 3:49 pm

I recommend Wendell's Alumni Grill on Lane Ave. Good place, good prices, good happy hour deals. It is far enough from Nationwide that you can avoid arena district ass raping and crowds.

Get off 71 on 270W, take the 315S exit from 270. Take 315S to the Lane Ave exit. Make a left on Lane Avenue and Wendell's will be on the left about 1/2 mile past the Schott.

To get to Nationwide from Wendell's take a left on Lane then make a right onto High St. Take High St. about 3 miles to the Arena district.

The Varsity Club is right next Wendell's also, and that is a sentimental favorite of mine although the food is average at best.

by **swerb** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:03 pm

Spoon, with how big a Buckeye fan you are, you should really go to the Varsity Club if you've never been.

by **Guest** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:48 pm

I have been there(Varsity Club) before.
Thanks for the advice boys.
My hotel is a few miles away from the arena.
My plan is to take a cab there and just kinda mosey around in the arena area.
With all the fighters probably being in the area and at the Arnold show, I am hoping to run into some.
Hopefully the fighters will also tell us(the fans) where the after party is, like all the other events.
I'm f-ing pumped

by **Guest** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 1:22 pm

The weigh-in is going to be live on NBCSports.com Friday at 4pm

by **furls** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 3:09 pm

You will probably want to go here then:

Looks good Furls, I plan on checking that place out.
Thanks

by **Guest** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 6:14 pm

What a great day for me and my wife
We went to the bar inside the arena. They were having an XM station broadcast from there and fighters were in and out of there.
They all were nice enough to stop for everyone for pictures.
I got a great picture with 3 young superstars: Josh Burkman Joe Stevenson, and Kenny Florian.
I also had a chance to shake hands and get a pic with UFC President Dana White.
It was a great day

Randy Couture is a bad ass...he man handled tim sylvia...and to here sylvia say he was hurt going into the fight was classless...i hate sylvia...hughes looks like he is getting old and franklin dominated...another gret card

by **mswerb** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 11:51 pm

Looks like you're ready for the octagon in the first picture Spoon.

by **furls** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:44 am
