Very cool card for tonights fights.
I like Chuck Liddell over Rashad and Hammil to Upset Rich Franklin.
Fighters.com has credentials for the UFC88 event and have some awesome interviews:
Chuck Liddell:
Rich Franklin:
Rashad Evans:
Matt Hammil :

Shoe-
Congrats on being awarded your Black Belt from Enzo Gracie I saw the listing on their website! Nice picture too!

Go Shoe!
First pic I have seen of Shoe in a while without one of his t-shirts on.
If you look close you can see the Shoemoney shirt.
you guys never miss anything =P
Congratulations man!
yup I spotted your logo too. I guess you always wear your own t’s for marketing purposes, huh Shoe?
Kick ass….great interviews. I’d say the interviewer could use a bit more enthusiam though….:)
I agree! It was monotone and not very interesting. Is he even a fan of fighting?
Agreed with these two… I’m not a fan, but at least I can put some excitement into my voice
I was going to mention the same thing!
Horrible interviews.
I agree – a great interview starts and relies heavily on a good interviewer…as opposed to the interviewee, surroundings, questions, etc
I disagree, the interviewer should not matter, if they aren’t very good, it allows more opportunity for the interviewee to control the interview.
Sweet interviews. A mic hookup to the figher would be nice so the voice is a little more clear.
Agreed.
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they will do this next time.
From what I see, Franklin seems confident enough to take care of what he says he needs to take care of.
i got rashad
Good call dude.
Nothing is better than making money and running business with something you love. Your business of Fighters.com and getting to work with UFC is awsome… it would be like me running Ballers.com (or whatever..) getting to interview and play ball with nba players!
Looking forward to seeing how big this gets!
Ditto on that Zac. I wish I could set some football (soccer) site up and associate with Beckham, Ronaldinho, Henry, and the likes.
You could. Do it. I’m interested in helping. Email me.
You serious about that Jay?
Ha ha, Zack, when I meet you at one of the AS’s I challenge you to a game of one on one!
great call zac.. do what you love, love what you do.
agreed, doing what you like makes everything easier and more fun
Sounds like you have your next venture.
I don’t know much more about UFC..
What I really know is car..
hahah, obviously… its in the name..
My boy Rashad is going to destroy Chucky. Chuck is a good fighting ufc veteran, but my money is on Rashad.
Don’t underestimate the veteran. It’s more about skill and experience now then just strength and power. Submission holds are on the rise….
Thats crazy man, you get to chill with all the UFC fighters, thats a kickass business.
I do need a mic! And, that WAS enthusiasm…
I agree with previous comments: more enthusiasm in interviews and audio quality better, interviews would be fantastic!
Kick ass! I love these crazy guys.
Think Chuck’s got it in the bag again
Got what in the bag? Have you ever seen Rashad Evans’s stand up game?
He’ll take him to the mat and then it’s all over.
Hope you dont bet money on the fights lol
GO CHUCK! SLO kickboxing represent!
Nope, Chuck got SHUT DOWN.
doing what you love and also making money while doing it is everyone’s dream.
I definitely agree with you. Enjoying and making money is everybody’s dream.
You have an awesome business… Doing what you love
Neat interviews!
LYOTO RULES!
I agree. 100%. He’l never be champ though.Why? He doesn’t smooch up to Dana White.
If one practices a martial art, then maybe ones art of predictions would get closer to 50%.
Chucks pretty bad a$$. The episode of him in Entourage is hilarious.
Shoe,
I gotta go just the opposite with Rashad and Rich to take the night.
Good card anyway it goes. Enjoy.
UFC is awesome, great job on the customized open source flash player
Awesome videos, just fix up the audio a bit for next time and everything is golden.
i got chuck over rashad and rich over hamill
i got hamill over rich.. Hamill is very underrated and i think he can pull a surprise on this one
Once again, whoever Shoemoney likes, take the opposite and you’ll win more times than not.
Oooh, now that hurts.
hurts who? its probably right
Good call this time. Shoe’s predictions go 0 for 2 on this one.
He’s typically below .500 w/his predictions.
Fighters.com seems to be going great!
What video player are you using here? Is it the wordpress default?
Just curious. Thanks… ok I just right-clicked and hit “about” – ok
Anyone else using this with wordpress? How do you find it!
Thanks and I’m with Chuck tonight!
Go Chuck!!!
wow, great interview… the sounds isnt that fine though..
Shoe, I have a question, what is the point of this blog. I know you do it to attract and make money off advertisers but what is the point of your content. Most of it is sophomoric with the occasional snippet of what someone else is doing online but you offer no worthwhile information for an affiliate marketer.
Just curious
Its a true blog… just a place I post things. I have never claimed its a educational resource.
Thanks for reading.
thats why most people like this blog.
It’s a personal blog and most people think by following this blog they can also become a super affiliate.. LOL
don’t hate the player – hate the game…and you’re free to come and play anytime you want to.
That’s what all these affiliate, pyramid people are doing
as soon as you capture a significant following – you can blog about donuts, or why the color of sh8t is brown…and you’d still see your success climb
i like the name fighters.com
i like the video very much. great interview.
Liddell all day! Can’t wait to see this fight!
Chuck Norris could take these guys any day!
heh, Chuck Norris vs. Chuck Liddell….battle of the Chucks
I’d rather see Van Damme take on those guys
Happy for you!
River Girl (I luv boxing)
Very cool being able to do this and be part of the action/event. It just shows that owning a business can open many opportunities. It will be a good show.
I’m also predicting chuck for the win and matt hammil for the upset.
I’m pissed that karo suddenly has a back injury. only he know if that’s real but it doesn’t seem like karo to run from a fight so i don’t know
rashad knock that joker out
Can we start a new blog called “Bet Against Shoemoney?” Easiest money ever made.
Seriously, love the Fighters.com and thanks for being such an avid UFC fan. If the stars align properly, we’ll see Penn vs St.Pierre, Silva vs Griffin and Lesnar (not Coutore) vs Fedor – last bout will never happen.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Florian vs Faber as well, but they might not be able to settle on a weight division.
that was a brutal hit, second one was on the way to an out-cold liddell
Daaaam, Chuck got knocked the cluck out lol
!!
I can’t believe Chuck went out like that. Disappointing…
Chuck was my man, I’m crestfallen he got knocked the f*** out!
I just lost $500 on Chuck and Hammil thanks to you…
WOW chuck got smashed. very very bad.
I had my money on Rashad though so I’m ok 
Those are some great stuffs.
Cool interviews
How do you think of the first interview? I can’t catch it,
The videos are smashing. I’m going to show my boyfriend the Chuck one because he’s a huge fan.
It’s time people start giving Rashad Evans some respect. The guy is definitely one of the top young guys in the UFC.
Eh my favorite is still my Canadian boy GSP
All great video clips!
Many video clips is very good! these sketches.

Rashad played it very smart, and i hate to say it but chuck i beleive is on his downfall now.
Yeah I agree with u Jared, Rashad played it very smart and cool…
Wow, Chuck got beat pretty hard!
Kewl interview
I was there for the fight in Atlanta. I thought Liddell was dead. This was my first fight and I didn’t know much about the fighters. When I saw Liddell I wondered what all the fuss was about. He looked like an out of shape bouncer at a biker bar. I didn’t like Evans personally but he was clearly in good shape.
I wasn’t surprised at the outcome
I didn’t know you were a UFC fan. My money is on Evans.
^ Safe bet custom tshirts man, you are about as psychic as mrs cleo
i think this article will be for fight lover not for everyone.
I saw one of your t-shirts there…. Lol!
Why do people fight at all for entertainment? ISn’t there enough fighting in this world as it is.
Very enjoyable and educational!
MAS QUI LOCALTI LINDO CHUCK-LIDDEII QUASE MORREU
