The difference is that BJ was consistent about wanting to kill GSP in all the interviews. Sobral appeared to have a split personality, perhaps it was the language barrier, but overall my impression of him was that he was atleast a bit volatile and this was way before the heath fight. The heath fight just makes him look even worse.
Also his 2nd loss to chuck showed how insane he was. He did the exact same thing the 2nd fight, chasing chuck, everyone but Sobral knew what was going to happen.

when you're a wrestler and jits guy with almost no striking ability like Babalu was at that time you don't have much choice

so you'd say he should stand there and dance around for 15 minutes while putting on the worst fight in history?
cuz you know for damn sure Chuck wouldn't chase... he was smart back then, unlike now where he tries to push the action

yeah , it's probably better to "kalib starnes" for 15 minutes (or 25 minutes as it was title fight) than to pull a fking bob sapp bumrush and get ktfo in the 1st minute of the fight like an idiot

Dana really seems to have his heart set on a show in Toronto once/if the legalities clear up.
Toronto is next, UFC president Dana White said in December, with the Rogers Centre a possible venue.
"We are going to attack Toronto," he told reporters in Las Vegas. "And we're going to get that done. We want to get a fight done in Ontario bad. And we're going to do a big stadium there too. We're not talking 10, 15, 20,000, we're going to do a big stadium in Toronto."
White says the UFC will make an even bigger splash in Ontario once the sport is sanctioned there. "When we go into Toronto I swear to God I think it's going to be the biggest event we've ever done and the fastest-selling event ever. Toronto's going to be insane." The UFC is looking at the Rogers Centre as a possible venue. "And I'm going to do Toronto right. When we get it, we're going to do a serious, serious card in Toronto. It's going to be big.

UFC will not be in Ontario for quite a while, that is my guess. Would be sweet though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Centre says that Pro Wrestling (If I remember correctly, WWE had a Wrestlemania in Skydome a couple years ago?), was able to attract 67,000 fans into Skydome.
Isn't Montreal UFC's biggest selling venue to date?

I was at a wrestlemania at skydome, and I would not want to watch a ufc event there. Bad sight lines. Dana's thinking big, but smaller is much better for watching a fight.

Skydome has hosted Wrestlemania VI with a record setting 67,678 people which was broken by Wrestlemania X8 with 68,237 and a gate in the $6million range. (Sourced Wikipedia) I would expect a good UFC card to do similar.gwu wrote: ↑As all teachers have told me in the past, Wikipedia shouldn't be used....but this is the internet.

Also Yoshihiro "Sexyama" Akiyama has been signed by the UFC.

ACC would have much better viewing angles... but I don't think that's big enough for Dana. I'm sure he wants to have a ridiculous attendance here in Toronto.
Thanks ElExacto!

anyone else excited for rampage\jardine ?
on the paper , it's extremely stupid and pointless fight
style wise though , it could be a very good fight , and possibly WAY more competitive than many people thinks
if jardine can somehow avoid getting his cocktail glass chin cracked by rampage , than he got a very good chance to win this fight

My money is on rampage. Jardine is at a plateau while Rampage is climbing. If he`s able to combine that with some discipline and cardio, he`ll pull it off i think.qeqw443 wrote: ↑anyone else excited for rampage\jardine ?

Besides, Jardine makes me cringe, i feel i need a shower after i see him fight.

It does look like an interesting fight, especially given Jardine's knack for taking out top fighters once in a while, but I'm more interested in Carwin/Gonzaga. Gonzaga is always fun to watch, Carwin could have his breakout performance, and the winner is likely to get a title shot.

Jardine needs to do the same thing he did against Liddell and use the leg kicksqeqw443 wrote: ↑anyone else excited for rampage\jardine ?

Forrest proved those are affective against Rampage and that's the reason he won(I use that term loosely because in reality he lost) the fight
