Look me in the eye and tell me: WHAT IS PRIDE?!!!!!?!!
Yep, I said it. And I could care less what anybody thinks. This is "All or Nothing," people. And for some, all or nothing is in a disappointing fashion. But wait!! Who do we have joining us who used to be "pride fighters?" Why, we have Mirko Cro Cop, and we have Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. And we have Anderson Silva taking on Travis Lutter, and that's our main event of the night. Silva was supposed to be defending his title for the first time. Lutter didn't make weight, so it goes from a 5 round title fight to a 3 round fight. That's very disappointing. But what can you do? Lutter still won in TUF 4 over Patrick Cote. And in the first round! He's an amazing competitor. This simply could've been better prepared for.
The UFC uses a new intro. Still has the warrior suiting up for battle, but a little different this time. I liked it. And 3 fights would be featured in this intro. First was Eddie Sanchez, who would be Mirko Cro Cop's first opponent in the UFC. Sanchez came into...
UFC 67...All or Nothing
Decent fight card. The reason I bought this is because of Rampage & Cro-Cops debuts in the UFC. Everybody knows these 2 guys are at the top of their divisions, and are friends. Rampage & Cro-Cop have some incredible memories when they fought in Pride. Unforgettable. I gave this a 4 star rating instead of 5 for 1 reason...you'll figure it out!
Lutter... What a letdown
This UFC event had some of the wind taken out of it's sails before the event even took place when supposed title contender, Travis Lutter, failed to make weight for his one and only shot at the UFC Middleweight belt. I can't comprehend how a B-level fighter like Lutter could let this happen. He claimed that he "really hard time getting motivated" to lose the weight. Wow.
Anyway, the televised fight card begins with Patrick Cote, whom I was not too excited to see in action again after going 0-4 in his "staying past your welcome" UFC career. He takes on Scott Smith in a snoozer. I would rather have seen Lyoto Machida televised, as he is a fighter that can certainly make waves in the UFC.
Next, it's the highly anticipated debut of former Pride Fighting superstar Quinton Rampage Jackson. He gets a second shot at Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman, the man who long ago handed him his first professional loss at a King of the Cage event. Jackson uses this fight to shake...
