It was also the first time I saw the clip from the Tito/Shamrock press conference and goddamn that was funny. Even Dana was laughing as soon as Shamrock said that.

For anyone that missed it Shamrock was at the mic with Dana standing to his right and Tito sitting beside Dana when Shamrock said "I can't wait to get it on with Tito inside the cage." A close second in gayness only to the staredown kiss in Pride a few months ago. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, I kept seeing that but kept missing what he said... Did Shamrock realize what he said after or did he keep a straight face the whole time?

that clip with shamrock on the podium talking and then Tito laughed at him was old , shamrock then kicks the chair and then blah blah blah .....

Ya i put large money on Gracie fight and was very disapointed on him that night , got his head pounded in . I knew he wouldnt tap on that arm bar but tell ya the truth he cant hang with the newbreed.

I gots coin on Tito to distroy Shamrock like last time and Orlovski to regain the title.

I dunno if Ortiz fights like he did against Griffin I can't see him doing all that much against Shamrock... Ortiz looked weak in that Griffin match except the first round but none the less he wasn't anything special... I think I am going to have to go with Shamrock on this one... Tito is just a punk there's no room for guys like him but when they get there *** handed to them it's great to hear the "stories" about why they lost etc etc...

i guess i am the only one that thought for sure that Gracie would lose. Yeah, he won a lot of fights earlier in UFC history, but i was very unimpressed by the fights of his i saw. he did not control the tempo of any of his fights, he could not stand up with anyone, and he was not overpowering on the ground; he could definitely do some submissive damage, but i have never thought he could take on someone like Matt Hughes. if you watch the fights nowadays compared to when Gracie was fighting, they're totally different; they guys now are way more athletic, they train harder, and are more rounded. i wasn't surprised at all.

now personally, i cannot wait to see Hughes vs. St. Pierre

It's not like Gracie has been sitting in a wheelchair rotting away since UFC 4. Royce has fought Pride and done a K1 event also as well as numerous other fights. He fights and trains with plenty of decent current fighters.

I agree with you on the Hughes vs GSP fight though.
One thing I'd like to see is BJ Penn, that chubby little guy, lose his baby fat and fight some lightweight bouts.
