Kryton is a dick - 29 April 2008 14:34: if he thinks Houston - who has been KO'd in round one by average fighters - is better than legend that is Hughes; Report this to a moderator

Trev - 29 April 2008 11:55: LOL Karlito Bisping V Chuck norris Make it happen Dana .... Matt Hughes is a good replacment. i am glad with that. Also you might actually see Liddell there anyway in a talking capacity .; Report this to a moderator

Karlito - 27 April 2008 17:07: Get in i just read that Charles McCarthy has officially retired from MMA Competition, that should get a headline BISPING retires MCCARTHY (due to being one of the most boring and over-rated fighters the UFC has ever seen.); Report this to a moderator

Ronnie Hamed - 27 April 2008 09:04: Nobody does it better than Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell..; Report this to a moderator

Kryton - 26 April 2008 18:25: Mikey Bisping is gonna be some force in the middleweight division and he may fight Dan Henderson later in the year but i think Hendo should get a rematch against Anderson coz i think he can beat him or a 3rd and final grudge match with Wanderlei would be an absolute classic..; Report this to a moderator

Kryton - 26 April 2008 18:04: Matt Hughes is no replacement for Chuck Liddell, it will be so much better if Dan Henderson is at UFC 85, or Houston Alexander or Rich Franklin..; Report this to a moderator

“I wish we didn't sell the guy. Phil is the definition of loyalty and I'm sure he'll end up with legendary status at your club as he did ours. There's not many players like that these days, and I'm glad he's playing an important part for another great side. Peace.”
