Ultimate Fight Nite 3 was Good!

[masterson]

UFN3 was great! I enjoyed the fights specially the main fight and Leben’s.

Here are the results of the fights:

1.Jason von Flue vs Alex Karalexis-(Flue won) -Technical Submission (Choke)

2 Spencer Fisher vs Aaron Riley –(Fisher)TKO (Doctor Stoppage)

3 Duane Ludwig vs Jonathan Goulet-(Ludwig) TKO (Punch)

4 Josh Neer vs Melvin Guillard-(Neer) Submission (Triangle Choke)

5 Chris Leben vs Jorge Rivera –(Leben ofcourse)TKO (Strikes)

6 Josh Burkman vs Drew Fickett –(Burkman)Submission (Guillotine Choke)

7 Stephan Bonnar vs James Irvin-(Bonnar) Submission (Kimura)

8 Tim Sylvia vs Assuerio Silva-(Sylvia won YES!!!) Decision (Unaminous)

Btw,I dont understand how they called that Ludwig fight 11 seconds. It was over in like 4-5 seconds.
Anyways I see Matt Hughes winning that fight rather easily. The original pioneers of the sport have not faired very well in the last few years (see Ken Shamrock and Kimo)

due to me being under the weather...i was able to watch the leben and burkman fight...the rest are taped and i'll watch them when i can get to it....burkman has looked really good as of late...i hope they do match him up with diego sanchez...would be a really good fight

gracie hasn't fought in how long....i think matt hughes wins the match if he stays smart and doesn't keep it on the ground the whole time

Heres what i think, Hughes has the ability to hurt Gracie lots and totally dominate from the get go. But I think he will respect Gracie and not pound the pudding out of him right off the bat. That could be the opening that Gracie needs to work his magic.I think Gracie's best chance is to get a good submission on Matt right away and try not to have to put his skills against Matt's strength and youth. I only see Gracie winning if he can work his Jitsu skills fast and not take his slow ass approach to getting a choke. Patience in this case will get him slammed and pounded. Look at Carlos Newton, he was a great Jitsu guy that took his time. A new champ was crowned.

sorry but don't compare carlos newton to royce gracie....thats like comparing my wealth to mike's....i think matt hughes will try to keep it standing up for awhile...if he goes to the mat and tries to ground and pound, as great as he is, he could get caught by the master


also...i watched the ludwig fight...clearly 4-5 seconds..it was the 1st punch thrown...and i'm glad to...that guys hair was ri-diculous

[masterson]

Yeah one of the fastest knockouts in UFC history. Damn. And Ludwig was the underdog.Anyways,I think Hughes has the ability to hurt Gracie lots and totally dominate from the get go. But I think he will respect Gracie and not pound the pudding out of him right off the bat. That could be the opening that Gracie needs to work his magic. A little time to wrap himself around Hughes.I really do think he will have a very hard time fighting Hughes but he may stand a little chance beating hughes.

hughes should win....interesting to see if gracie wears the gui(sp) since i haven't seen one of those in the ufc in about 3 years
