UFC 99: Silva vs. Franklin Open Thread And Discussion

by Kelvin Hunt on Jun 13, 2009 11:23 PM EDT in News

UFC 99 could bring clarity to at least two weight classes.

As usual MMA4Real will be here with the UFC 99 open thread and discussion(The 10pm EST Broadcast). We had a lot of people to join the UFC 99 Fantasy league, so make sure you join us as we discuss the fights and talk smack in regards to who's winning the fantasy league. The only rule is you can't post ANY SPOILERS, as the card will be airing live at 3pm EST from Cologne, Germany. Fights from the undercard may very well make the broadcast, so that rule applies to them as well. I'll be in and out during the day, but if you plan on joining us for the broadcast tonight holla at us in the comments section. It should be a very exciting card. Also join the official podcast of MMA4Real Lights Out Radio after the event.

Matt, Neil and Forrest will be LIVE! at 1:30 a.m. ET/10:30 p.m. PT to review UFC 99: The Comeback.

They’ll take calls at (347) 202-0934 and e-mails at wagner@lightsoutradio.com.

Interesting side note to Cro Cop

Apparently, following his fight today, Cro Cop told Dana that he has signed a three fight deal with DREAM. Dana is NOT happy.

Am I allowed to stay if I admit that Chris Leben if my favorite fighter?

Of course, I am good friends with one of his cousins, and he’s a local Portlander, but still, I am aware of his unpopularity….

I sleep 2-4 hours / night — the difference is now I’m slightly drunk and pissed off at this bullshit.

Gin + lemon haha — so what’chu thinking about a 195 lbs weight class?

Yea, we would be in the same boat in terms of its effects on our thinking.

You do not screw a man who’s ready to admit (in his own corporate language) that the #1 HW is not currently in his company and who’s ready to give you a chance to shine; a man who’s ready to fucking launch you.

Bloody hell.
