so that was pretty predictable. coleman looks a bit old and burtout compared to Couture. i liked the little exchange between Tito Ortiz and Coleman afterwards "fuck you tito, douchebag"

i have to disagree about GSP v Hardy. GSPs athleticism is almost un matched, as well as being an extremely well rounded fighter. Hardy is no amature, but I'm not sure he'll be able to last more than 2 rounds against GSP.
Mir v Carwin will be another easy win for Mir. Carwin has really strong wrestling skills, but Mir is a real BJJ technician, and with his new physical conditioning, I dont think he'll lose.
Couture v Coleman, may present some suprises, but may also be a like watching 2 old men go at it. It seems the older they get, the more it starts to look like a boxing match.
UFC 110 is the first time in Sydney, so nearly every bout on that card is a crowd pleaser. Should be very entertaining.
- carwin is 11-0 w/ 6 TKOs & 5 Submissions. This will be the fight where people realize hes the real deal.baseline_shift

111 is sounding like a great card. Let's hope we don't see training injuries come into play like we saw for 108.
I think GSP takes this one easily, but I hope he does it in exciting fashion. I feel they should've tested Hardy against a strong wrestler like Fitch (or Kos) before they gave him the title shot, but it makes sense seeing as there is a lot of hype behind him right now.
The new Mir is looking really solid. I was very impressed with how he handled Kongo. I'm hoping for Carwin, but I feel Mir is going to take it if he comes in the same shape he was in for 107.
On a design related note, it bums me out that RED isn't doing microsites for every UFC event anymore. I used to really look forward to them. Good concepting and design all around. Anyone know what happened there?
- agreed. Fitch would have been a great matchup. Especially coming off his recent loss.baseline_shift

Have to say the main event of 109 was a bit of a letdown.
I'm not sure i'm that impressed that Randy thumped Coleman, as it was a bit expected.
I will say one word about the Marquardt vs Sonnen fight: WOW. Sonnen is fucking ace right now! It will be interesting to see who they throw at him in the next year as it's likely Anderson Silva will be out for at least 6 mos while recovering from a surgery.
All in all not a bad night of fights but Rolles Gracie.... LOL.

I have to say lately UFC has been having some great bouts. 108 had some incredible fights and the main card definitely delivered - although i was worried about a bit about Rashad in round 3 there.
All in all... UFC 111 sounds like pure win with the GSP vs Dan Hardy fight.
- the next several cards are gonna be stacked.baseline_shift

It's a pity that the Wanderlei is out.

Anyone have a link to the stream?

UFC.com looks like it underwent bit of a makeover - currently in beta:
Thoughts?
My initial reaction is the UI is much cleaner, modern and functional although I am still acclimating myself to the new layout. Having a bit of trouble finding things like the fight card and whatnot.
Also not crazy about the absurd amount of flash the site is using... but at least it makes for a rich user experience. All in all nice job!

nice site. much better idea to get actual designers to design your site than fucking database engineers from Sun. I'm talking about you, mlb.com.
that said... once you go down below the fold and into 3 column land, everything kinda gets mushed up together. mlssoccer.com is still my favorite league site for now.

@identity - it's right at the bottom right, under site credits. "Red Interactive Agency"
166.ufc, wow this is a kick-ass site. I enjoyed this layout. I can't believe some people are giving this fight to Lesnar... haha no way. Carwin all the way.

Shane Carwin is a beast. Not sure if he is as strong as Brock though. Specially since Frank Mir is thinking about moving to 205. I wonder....
- d_rek0
I still think Brock is a bit of a wild-card as an MMA fighter. Granted, the guy is a moose, it still remains to be seen if he can take a thumping (as opposed to dishing one out). And I think Carwin is none-the-better as an opponent who could potentially topple him.
Super geeked for this fight...
almost equally geeked for the Anderson Silva VS Chael Sonnen in UFC 117 - That has a dynamite fight card too!
