Ahh ok, somehow i missed the "5 round decision" part when i read that Sounds like it was pretty one-sided and clear victory though Crocop vs. Couture could be competitive if Couture is as motivated as he seemed tonight. CroCop has improved his ground game a lot but Couture could be better by just enough to cause him a problem. And really, as much as Dana White probably is angry that Sylvia is gone, at least Couture is a UFC Legend and can help them against CroCop. Cause man...Sylvia would have been splattered...and still may be.

I don't think Dana is pissed that Sylvia is gone. Coture has an almost mythical presence in the UFC now, HW champ five times, LH champ however many times, and of course, there's the whole "HE'S A SENIOR CITIZEN OF 43 YEARS OF AGE!!!" BS that they keep churning out... That shit sells tickets and Coture is also a character, something that Sylvia either chose not to be, or just wasn't given the chance to be. I see Coture vs. Filipovic as another Franklin vs. Silva. I might be wrong because we still haven't had a chance to see how Filipovic deals with a cage (as opposed to a ring), and Coture likes to use the cage to his advantage (he likes to push guys up against it like he's trying to sieve their essence into the first row), but CroCop isn't the kind of guy to go into new situations without preparing. I dunno, even with his new Robot Devil hands, I just can't see Coture hanging with a really good striker (Arlovski, CroCop, etc). For some reason, I can see White really upping the pressure to buy Pride and set up a match between Coture and the walking Russian firing squad, Emelianenko! THAT shit would sell tickets on a global scale and would put a hurt on K-1 for the first time (besides, I think White is sore at K-1 because he was trying to score Caol Uno for a fight with Joe Stevenson, but Uno told him to go fuck his hat because he has it good with K-1 ).

Also, why the hell is it 2 in the morning, and neither UFC's website, or Sherdog, have results posted? I think the event is tonight, yo. Yeah, I just wasn't paying attention to what day it was when I posted. I'd have corrected this last night, but my half-retarded brother broke my poor compy. Also, lol @ Sylvia.

I'd like to see Sylvia face Cro Cop just as punishment for making us spend monies on half assed UFC cards.
Really, I would.

'Cept Dana White is the one booking this crap. Meaning he should be the one getting mowed down. ^_^

Actually, you can blame Joe Silva for the booking. Chris Leben vs Anderson Silva? What the fuck was he thinking?
