Karo Parisyan suffered an injury and will not be able to fight Matt Hughes for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 56. Rage in the Cage veteran Joe "Diesel" Riggs will be stepping in Parisyan's place. Riggs is coming off a win over Chris Lytle at UFC 55.

Rich Franklin (Champion) vs. Nate Quarry (Challenger)

UFC Welterweight Title Bout

George St. Pierre vs. Sean Sherk



Possible Match ups:


Jeremy Horn vs Mike Van Arsdale

Tim Sylvia vs. Assuerio Silva

Stephan Bonnar vs. James Irvin

Sam Hoger vs. Jeff Newton

any guys here have experience or train? or just fans? any fighters here? and Vanderlei is the man by the way.

MMA is fucking sick... UFC shows are more useful then basic math lol... im a fan, but i would not turn down a training opportunity.

kfergs, I have fought in lowell at the tsongas arena and in revere at club lido and in taunton at the matrix, theres fights at the avalon once in awhile, you should check them out. go to www.massmma.com and check it out.

I don't train personally, but I do study mma and certain moves quite a bit... I'd love to train, but i don't know if im in pysical shape yet to endure the training that these guys go through... maybe a couple more months of working out and ill go for it! i love the sport!

theres some awesome guys out of NH, Nuri Shakir, who is out of team elite, which has UFC vets Mike Brown, and Jorge Rivera.

this will be a tough test for hughes. Hughes is an all around badass, but i don't think he's faced such a HARD striker (as well as accurate) as riggs. Even if it goes to the ground, i think Riggs might control the action with strength. good fight. Hughes will take it with the heart and endurance. He pulls it out all the time.

Glad to hear all the Pride fighters who came off a loss came out with the win this past monday. So many rumors of the NYE card.

CroCop vs Hunt MMA? Hunts camp has circulated their agents are in talks
CroCop vs Fedor II? fans
Nog vs Fedor IV? Nogs camp says that have SIGNED the match
Silva Vs Arona. Very Likely
Sergei vs. Fedor. This seems to be the next serious HW matchup. However, Shockave(Man Festival) has always been a spectacle and not the highlight of the year (which goes to Final Conflict). I except this to be on the first card of 2006, but not on NYE.
Fedor vs Yoshida. Fedor of Sambo and HW Champ facing Japanese Judo fan favorite Yoshida. a chance for Pride to RACK in the crowd buyout and payperview sales. VERY VERY likely

Sergei definently deserves the shot, but i am interested to see Yoshida take the usual BIG FUCKING punch and take it to the ground. As i've heard, Yoshida looks small on your screen, but he is FUCKING HUGE in real life

fedor is like the terminator, anybody seen that clip of randleman throwing him on his head and fedor just shaking it off and tapping randleman. insane throw.

Bonnar/Irvin is likely off due to both fighters being injured. I've heard MVA may pull out due to injury as well.

Neither Riggs nor Quarry have earned a title shot, but you've got to give Riggs credit for taking the fight on short notice. Should be a pretty average card, but you can never tell for sure... Sherk/GSP is the true main event imo.

anybody in the atl want to watch live fights check out www.thefightparty.com they have some good shows there. had my ass kicked there a few times.

I like PRIDE fights more than UFC myself..

I like how they deduct 10% of the purse if theres no action.


btw Kazushi Sakuraba is the man!

I don't recall Sak ever sporting the blonde look. You might be thinking of Takanori Gomi or Kazuyuki Fujita.

Gomi:

No doubt about that, he has only lost to the very best HWs in the world. Too bad he's fighting for K-1 these days which means he fights about once a year.

oh, no kidding, i didn't know, i'm kind of out of the loop, i been in iraq since january. I will be fighting again as soon as i get back and start training seriously again.

arbiter, you should tell the legacy of the man in your avatar. guy is a walking joke around the world. but in japan, HES GOD

Yeah, Gomi is what i meant. That guys outa control

sakuraba... the gracie hunter.

is anyone tuning into the ultimate fighter2 tv show tonight for its most "bloody and gory fight of the year" ?

Id love to train in MMA, although I have experience with judo, sambo, jiu-jitsu, kick boxing and taekwondo. I would go into it as if I knew nothing, because although I can dish it out, I know I cant take it.

I think it would definitely help me become more confident in myself as well as help me get in nice physical condition. i.e. Arlovski, the guy is in such amazing condition.

i've never been in an mma fight, nor a real life street fight. Even with my BJJ and kickboxing, i would still be scared as fuck to be in a fight. So many things in life can forgive you for making one mistake, fighting doesn't. One mistake and your either struggling for air, breaking a limb, or a vicious KO.

Fighters are really starting to realize the power of knowing Judo in a fight. Weight transfer will always determine who gets the dominant positio when the fight is headed to the ground

Judo & Sambo both, they are like cousins to each other, except Judo focuses on the standup with a mix of ground and Sambo does the ground and with a mix of standup.

All I gotta say... anyone wearing a collared shirt should not start shit with me.

Hey guys, I've had nine pro fights, I've fought on the same shows as a bunch of the tuf guys, fought Melvin, he's one tough hombre. I love to fight though, there is not to much you can do legally that is that much fun. If you guys are in the boston area or Atlanta you should come out and watch me get beat up sometime.
