[pac-man]

Anybody else watching this? Gina "Crush from American Gladiators" Carano just put a beating on Kaitlin Young, marking the first time I've seen a women's MMA match.

All-in-all, a good event so far. Of course I just tuned in to see Kimbo Slice knock this giant on his ass.

Does anybody think MMA has supplanted boxing as America's combat sport of choice?

[WhiteRat]

Kimbo Slice would be the only reason why i'd even want to watch EliteXC. I've never heard of the organization before, much the guys fighting in it.

I think MMA has eclipsed boxing at least for the under 40 crowd. All of the bars around here are packed for UFC fights, with most of them charging various cover charges. It's not unusual to show up an hour and a half before an event only to find the bar to be standing room only.

[pac-man]

Not a lot of notable fighters in EliteXC, but the fights have been good-- a lot of boxing, front/side/roundhouse kicks, and with a pinch of wrestling and ground pounding. Definitely suited for Kimbo's style.

Yeah, I'd agree with the under 40 demographic being big on MMA. Boxing (especially the heavyweights) has just suffered so many woes over the last decade-plus, and for every Floyd Mayweather-Ricky Hatton championship bout, you get a dozen complete let downs.

[pac-man]

Well, EliteXC just showed how much they want Kimbo to succeed. James Thompson was winning on my card, but a third round flurry of punches by Kimbo (that popped Thompson's cauliflower ear) led to a stoppage. Thompson wasn't even about to go down.

I'm all about Kimbo being big time, but make him earn it.

[Dirge]

Gary Shaw is awful. Business degree from WWE or what?

Dana White went to bed laughing i know it.

oh well Pulver vs Faber will cheer me up.

[WhiteRat]

Yeah, i read that Thompson won the first 2 rounds 10-9 and that when the fight was stopped the announcers yelled "horrible stoppage!". I saw a clip of Thompson landed over a dozen uncontested elbows right to Kimbo's dome piece. I like Kimbo's story but last night's fight clearly showed that he's not this unstoppable machine that the media portrays him to be.

[Kybo Ren]

Frank Shamrock is the elitexc VC? fuck that noise.
Kimbo needs some endurance- He looked like he knew he might've bit of more than he could chew, but was gonna swallow anyway! he also seemed more unsure of himself than his other fights, not drunk enough?

[pac-man]

Maybe not hungry enough. He's been exalted since before his debut... too many ESPN features and Cage Potato videos may have him believing his own hype.

[WhiteRat]

Or maybe he's just not as good as people make him out to be?

I had no clue that Butterbean fought in MMA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqRFIscsanw&feature=related

[pac-man]

This is either the Samuel Adams talking, or the best idea ever:

Kimbo Slice, Butterbean Esch, Tank Abbott, Mike Tyson, Akebono, and the Big Show in WWE's elimination chamber match. Make it a huge purse and promise the winner that they'd get their dignity back. I guarantee somebody would die in that ring.

[Pentegarn]

I have a few coworkers who are in the low rank MMA local circuit and they all to a man agree that Kimbo is not what they hype says he is. They just call him a big man who hits really hard and that a submission fighter would have him down in under 30 seconds. As for me, I don't watch it but from what I heard about it i really didn't want to. I am not really up for seeing an undrained, puss-filled injury get splattered onto the first row by a punch that made it rupture.

ugh no no no no

kimbo is getting better but no matter what bas teaches him he's 32.

pulver/faber-great
torres/jap-awesome!

[pac-man]

It's hard to gauge just how much better he's actually gotten. He's won all of fights doing the same thing he did in the backyard videos. He certainly wouldn't be 3-0 if he went to UFC instead of the minor leagues.

[McClain]

Slice gets press because his path to MMA is unlike any other fighter. The fact that he looks scary as shit lends to the story. He'll cut his teeth on washouts and low-rated fighters then he'll get his introduction to UFC. It'll happen. Too much money involved to NOT let him get a shot, regardless of White's no-nonsense management. We'll see how Slice does when he gets there.

[MattJack]

Kimbo isn't anything special. Gary Shaw, the owner of EliteXC, is just building him up. Who did he fight before Thompson? uhhhh Tank Abbot? That guy hadn't won a fight it what, nine years? Gary Shaw is feeding Kimbo can after can just to inflate his Heavy Weight Champion's record.

I don't know about yall, but the fight I was watching was pretty much what and what til the 3rd round. You can see in the replay where Thompson is pretty much seeing stars as his face is getting pummeled. I agree that the fight stoppage was fuc*in horrible, but Thompson was about to be kissing the mat.

I think many of the UFC fighters could make quick work of Kimbo. He simply has zero ground game and his striking isn't technical enough. Tito, Babalu, Shogun, Mir, Lyoto, Couture, etc etc would all make very quick work of Kimbo.

Kimbo to his credit, does have a chin of steel and a heart of melted down pawn shop jewlery gold, but if he fought another brawler, say Wandy, Chucky, or even Big Bob Sapp we could always hope for another

Very well said. The guy is going to be in for a rude wake-up call if (probably more so when) he cracks into UFC.

[pac-man]

I don't know how much ProElite is paying Kimbo, but think about this: with his age (34), marketability, and sense of humor (made evident by the "What Would Kimbo Do" videos and his talk show appearances) would anybody be suprised if he decided to go to the WWE? My elimination cage match idea was a drunken rambling, but it made me think:

Would Vince McMahon be willing to shill out good money to get Kimbo on his team? And would Kimbo do it?

[WhiteRat]

Yes and for the right amount of money yes. Now that you mention it, he's perfect for WWE since he basically is one big circus act.

[Kybo Ren]

Kimbo in WWE? He looked like he had to keep himself in check on saturday, in WWF he'd get pissed and do a real number on some loudmouth jackass. Don't matter what Vince pays, can't see Kimbo working for the monkey grinder.

WWE-stupid treehuggers and their lawyers! if it wasn't for those fucks we could see the real fight:

Kimbo Slice VS Kangaroo



I've always wanted to see Butterbean take down a bear or a gorilla too.

i agree with that. wandy murdered Jardine. Kimbo wouldnt have any idea what to do with him or anyone in that class...

[MattJack]

I think Kimbo will stick with MMA until he gets a few hardcore losses under his belt, and then he'll go to the WWE where he'll become the new leader of a new Nation of Domination, fued with DX, find out he's the Rock's son, and then have some type of beard shave/grow match with Vince McMahon for the main event of Summer Slam.

I think Wandy vs. Kimbo would be bad ass because they are both brawlers, only Wandy has more training/fights under his belt. Kimbo has a chin of steel though, so it would basically be a slobber knocker of epic proportions. I secretly think Kimbo would win if they just decided to stand and bang.

Jardine confuses me. He confuses me the same way weather confuses me, but only he's much more ugly than any natural disaster that I've ever seen or read about. He looks like the baby of Anton Szandor LaVey (http://www.unexplainedstuff.com/Religious-Phenomena/Anton-LaVey-s-First-Church-of-Satan.html) and Steven Buscemi (http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/77424416.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1937E7588A1370768CDC94E4A04C7E825EB 284831B75F48EF45), but uglier and less cool.

Jardine knocks Forrest Griffin the hell out like Griffin owed him money, but then gets absolutely demolished by Houston Alexander. Alexander had I think two or three fights under his belt in MMA, but managed to hurt the entire Jardine family's feelings by brutally knocking Keith the *u*k out via knees to the face. Oh I forgot to mention that fight lasted roughly two minutes?

Fast forward to Jardine's next opponent, Chucky Liddell. Chuck had just lost his title and Keith had just got his sh*t pushed in. The UFC decided to feed their most popular title holder in history an Ultimate Fighter (tv series)contestant, hmm who could possibly win? Fuckin' Jardine does. It was a decision win, but none the less a win over one of the most popular and feared men in the UFC.

What happens next in the Jardine story?

Jardine fights Wandy (whom Chuck beat, so by my MMA math calculations that's Jardine>Chuck>Wandy.)and lasts about as long as me during my first time having sex (roughly 60 seconds). It was probably one of the more brutal knock outs I have seen in MMA to boot. You can see Jardine on the mat with his arms straight out next to his side, fists clinched, legs straight out, and eyes in the back of his head. He looked like he was auditioning to be a plank on a boat for the Pirates Of The Caribbean.

[Dirge]

Kimbo is going to WWE. Start taking odds now.

Jardine cant take the heavy hands. Forrest doesnt have that. Houston sure does. The Chuck fight would blow a whole in this theory but if u watch it, all he does is leg kick, leg kick, leg kick, and Chuck never has a chance to counter punch. i think he catches him once? Then Wandi doesnt even give him a chance to play that. he just breaks his foot off in his ass. Plus "The Dean's" a sloucher and no sloucher ever wins anything...

I'm sorry, but every time I look at this thread's title, I think of WhiteRat's Spider Fights.

[WhiteRat]

Ha, that was already 2 years ago. Time flies when you're huffing spray paint!

[Angryhydralisk]

I have yet to see Kimbo fight, but I seen Brazilian people maul some americans recently.

And one of the funniest UFC PPVs ever, with a nordic viking fighting a french-african in the most laughable fight ever.

Oh, and somebody FINALLY gets Tito Ortiz laying on his back and punching the shit out of him. And Tito retired! AWESOME!

[Pentegarn]

I call it a circus, but I admit I will likely go out of my way to see Shamrock beat Kimbo (because I think Shamrock will beat Kimbo)

[pac-man]

Shamrock takes a dive and his payday, the legend of Kimbo Slice grows, and MMA purists shit themselves knowing the next big fight will be former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar getting an undeserved title bout against Randy Coutre.

And if that does turn out to be the case, it's still not as fraudulent as boxing.

[WhiteRat]

Why must people always refer to Lesnar as a pro wrestling champion? The dude was a beast in college, winning a Juco and NCAA heavyweight championship. People fail to remember that he has legitimate wrestling skills. I'm a huge Lesnar fan, although I'll admit that he doesn't deserve a title shot at this point.

[pac-man]

Hmm... you're not a Golden Gophers fan by any chance? I'm well aware of Lesnar's wrestling background. I'm also well aware of his MMA background. How being a talented wrestler makes him more legitimate than a talented striker like Kimbo befuddles me. A one trick pony is a one trick pony. (Real) Wrestling doesn't involve striking or submission. They're both circus attractions when compared with the better schooled mixed martial artists of their respective leagues. It's all about what sells. Shamrock vs. Couture (who've never fought) would be a better fight than either of these fights we're being force fed.

[Pentegarn]

Hmm... you're not a Golden Gophers fan by any chance?

Obviously, you haven't read the NCAA thread at all :lol

Gopher fan or not, people constantly overlook his amateur wrestling abilities. Hell, during his ring entrance against Frank Mir, Buffer announced him as the former WWE Champion. If you don't think his amatuer wrestling credentials don't bring any sort of credibility to his ground and pound, well, I guess I can't convince you any more. Sure, keeping Herring in a fetal position and dropping some knees into him may not be the most exciting fight but it gets the job done.

Like I said, I don't think he deserves a title shot at this point. I was impressed with his first 3 fights but as we all saw against Frank Mir, he has a lot of work to do. The raw potential is there, it'll just take time for him to really tap into it.

And Pentagarn....SKI U MAH!

[pac-man]

All good points. We'll have to see how he develops. His sojourns into the WWE and the NFL set him back. He's a beast of a specimen, his amateur record speaks for itself, and he's certainly showed more mat acumen than Kimbo (who is also a beast). But, like I said, at this point they're both more sizzle than steak.

[Pentegarn]

And Pentagarn....SKI U MAH!

I actually had to go look that up :lol

[pac-man]

I know I'm late with this, but just in case anyone missed it:

http://i33.tinypic.com/11t9920.jpg

[MattJack]

I'm gonna take Shamrock by sub in Round 2. Either Shamrock subs him or Shamrock gets knocked out. It won't go the distance.

Also, after Chuck got exposed by Rampage.. Chuck hasn't been the same since. He was always a one trick pony, but he was fu*king amazing with that one trick. Rashad did a lot of lay n prey that match, and it paid off big time. Now he has a title shot against Forrest, yawn.

[El Blanco]

That match was supposed to match styles that favored Lidell. Despite what we saw against him and Salmon, Evans is a wrestler. He was an All American at Michigan State.

Chuck totally fell for his fake and got railed in the middle of his counter punch.

I don't think Griffin is going to go down like that. He's been a beast since he lost to Jardine.

Then again, I gave Griffin no chance against Rampage, either.

[MattJack]

Griffin will beat Rashad.

[pac-man]

Speaking of Rampage, anybody heard anything about his case?

[pac-man]

Looks like Kimbo will be going 4-0. Shamrock can't fight due to a cut over his left eye that required 6 stitches.

Well, his ass certainly got crowned.

And it was really cool how Carano actually made weight for this fight and tried to make it look like something other than a sideshow.

[MattJack]

And it was really cool how Carano actually made weight for this fight and tried to make it look like something other than a sideshow.

Yeah I agree.

Kinda wished she was a pound or two over again though. I mean the last time she was a pound or so over she just got naked and weighed in. Which I certainly didn't have a problem with.

[Sam]

I wish she was naked more often. :(

[El Blanco]

She wasn't naked. that was just for show. I saw the video and it was creepy.

I also love the fake bullshit between Shamrock and Ferguson (he no longer gets a nickname). Like they ever gave a damn about each other. Hell, Shamrock didn't even show up to the fight.

[pac-man]

EliteXC themselves have to be reeling from this. They were bush league from the start and now that their biggest draw has been exposed I would not be surprised to see them slowly fade back into obscurity.

[El Blanco]

I think they'll hold on just long enough to sign Ortiz to a redonkulous contract. They'll probably have him fight the likes of Michael Westbrook and Johnny Morton.

[pac-man]

Those don't sound like fights that are gonna put butts in seats.

[MattJack]

EliteXC = Elite Extreme Cans

Their biggest draws are all cans. Shamrock, Ortiz, Canbo Slice, Gyna, and now that Seth fella.

[MattJack]

She wasn't naked. that was just for show. I saw the video and it was creepy.

I know, but I have a powerful imagination :(

[El Blanco]

And your alternative is...

[pac-man]

And your alternative is...

Slice/Petruzelli rematch, duh! :(

[El Blanco]

You get one of those. And it shouldn't even be a headliner.

Maybe if Ortiz agrees to fight as a heavy weight, you can get him vs Ferguson. But thats at least a year away.

Who else? Actually fighting 50 year old Ken Shamrock? Hell, let's bring Dan Sevren out of retirement.

I know we've joked around about this before, but would he really be able to pull this off? The guy has ABSOLUTELY no mic skills.

Maybe if they had Harvey Whippleman as his manager he'd work out.

[pac-man]

I'd tune in to see what they do with him, but the way wrestling's been since 1999 or so I'm sure it would be botched all to hell. He has personality and can talk, the What Would Kimbo Do? videos are evidence of that.

If I were Mr. Slice, I'd acknowledge that my fifteen minutes are up, roll around in all the money I made, and spare my brain anymore damage.

[El Blanco]

And hang around with porn stars.

I'm sure those promotions that run out of Indian casinos will take him.

Hell, maybe they'll put him up against Carano.

[WhiteRat]

I saw Kimbo on PTI and other than his cussing, he seemed stiffer than Pac-Man's johnson during a Carano fight.

[Sam]

I get stiff during every Carano fight. :(

[WhiteRat]

Lesnar/Couture takes place this saturday night. Any guesses on who's going to win?

As much I like Lesnar I think that his inexperience will be his downfall and Couture will win by judge's decision.

[pac-man]

I agree... Coutre wins on points.

[MattJack]

Brock is a beast. He is just a giant human, butttt I think Captain America's experience will come in handy.

I'm taking Captain America via submission 2nd rd even though most people are taking Brock by TKO.

[Sam]

Couture has fought tougher dudes, I am sure he knows what to expect from Lesnar. He'll submit him with noooooo problem.

[pac-man]

Looks like Brock pulled off the upset. Wish I had seen the fight.

UFC 93

Franklin v Henderson
Prediction: This one goes to Henderson via 3rd quarter nod by the judges. Split.

Coleman v Rua
Shogun is going to beat the action figure senseless. 1st round KO. Which will be a shame, 'cause I like Coleman. The Hammer will resort to scripted wrestling in Japan after this loss.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgAp0jcpYYc

[MattJack]

I remember seeing that years ago when I was first getting into MMA. That is def an epic fight.

It's just two grown ass men punching each other in the face until one gives up.

UH-MAZING

[pac-man]

I'd never seen it before, but that was sick. How neither of them so much as flinched during that opening slugfest is a testament to both. The Asian guy's face told the tale at the end, though.

[McClain]

It was a pretty bloody week for MMA... A completely snapped shin (looked like his foot was dangling) a broken arm via armbar, and a couple fist-induced concussions. And that was just in the UFC Fight for the Troops. TUF Finale was good, too. Though I thought for sure Nover was gonna' beat some ass.

[Sam]

ALSO, SOME DUDE FROM THE UFC KILLED HIMSELF AND HIS WIFE OR SOMETHING. :(

I heard it on the news this morning before I went to work. :(

[WhiteRat]

Looks like Mir/Lesnar II is next on the table.

[Dirge]

axe murderer got ktfo.

mir had a great plan against nog.

flailing forrest looked good at first but evans is nasty


mir/lesnar II =how does mir sucker him into a sub again?

[McClain]

UFC 92 totally threw me. Had I put down money I would have lost a bunch. The biggest upset in my mind is Mir over Nog. Especially via TKO - I just didn't see that coming.

I was happy to Rampage get Silva. Not that I dislike Silva, I just wanted to see some revenge. And I do think that Rampage has lots of career ahead of him while Silva is nearing the end.

Thought the main fight would have gone all five rounds. Evans is tight. Griffin is class.

[McClain]

UFC 93

Dan Henderson beats Rich Franklin via decision. Good fight. Not the ending anyone really wanted, but most people expected it would go to the wire.

Shogun Rua defeated Mark Coleman in the last few available seconds of the match via TKO. Coleman was gassed early but controlled Shogun most of the three rounds with his wrestling and strength. Shogun was getting some good shots in on Coleman but Shogun's cardio looked horrible. Shogun won the fight but it didn't do much to bolster his image. Had it went to decision Coleman might have won.

Here's what I don't understand about the fight... Shogun blasted Coleman in the face a few times, causing Coleman to get wobbly. But as soon as Shogun came in he was taken down and neutralized. This happened at least two times. But for whatever reason when the exact same thing happens near the end of the fight the ref decides to stop the action. Coleman ate about five hits to the head but was in the same cognizant position as the previous times. You can see him going for Shogun's leg for the takedown.

Disappointing. But a good fight.

[MattJack]

God it felt so good to see GSP dominate tonight. He has been my fav fighter for a while, and I was really pulling for him since BJP was talking incredible amounts of shit.

Who's the bitch now, BJP? :lol

[Angryhydralisk]

I caught the most recent PPV a couple days ago. Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva was the shit. Loved the end-of-the-round knockout.

Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn was hilarious mainly because my sister hates Pierre and was screaming at the tv.

[McClain]

Penn talks - but it's not usually disrespectful. Penn nuthuggers on the other hand are quite annoying. And now GSPs corner is dealing with the issue of putting Vaseline on GSPs back. Another reason for Penn fans to get upset and call for a No Contest. Ugh.

That Machida knockout was awesome. I thought for sure all the other fights would end in first two rounds and that Machida v. Silva would go to decision. Exact opposite from what most would have predicted.

If Bonner wasn't Dana's boyfriend his ass would be out of the UFC and doing MMA commentating instead. Though I have to commend his endurance. Jon Jones has some quick and slick takedowns.

Nate Diaz is a punk. Glad to see him get whooped. Clay Guida beats Diaz - so easy a caveman could do it.

That Karo fight should have been recorded in lieu of Fitch v Gono. I'm so fuckin' pissed that fight wasn't televised. I'm also convinced that Dana put Fitch deep on the undercard as punishment for that whole UFC video game ordeal. Fitch is the man.

I got Jackson by KO 2nd RD

Rampage all the way.

[pac-man]

Sounds like Jackson v Jardine lived up to the hype and then some. Rampage FTW.

[MattJack]

Meh it was aight.

Jackson is still one of my favorite fighters. I talk as much shit as he does when I do anything competitive(video games, sports, baking, etc etc).

[pac-man]

I wanted to order it, but there was boxing on HBO for free. Word is there was some controversy in one of the undercard fights.

[McClain]

Yeah, it was the Matt Brown v Pete Sell fight. Matt Brown was completely dominating Sell - kicking and knocking him around the ring. After a combo of head kicks and hooks which promptly dropped Sell, Yves split the fighters which is usually an indication that the fight is over. Brown started to retreat to his corner because it was obvious that Sell was loopy. But then Yves started the fight again because Sell was able (albeit still wobbly) to get to his feet.
Brown came back in and started thumping on Sell again; elbows, kicks, punches, thai clinches, etc. It was painful to watch. There were a couple moments when Brown literally threw his hands in the air as if to say, "WTF Ref? This guy is defenseless and I'm gonna' kill him. Stop the fight!"
It was awesome to watch Brown, but sad to see such inept officiating. Watch the video before it's removed. (http://mmafightaction.com/ufc-96-matt-brown-vs-pete-sell-fight-video/)

Oh, and I can't see how anyone thought Jardine would have won had Rampage not cleaned his clock in the last 10 seconds. That punch was pure icing - 'Page already had the cake baked. To the people who thought it would have been a split; GTFO. Jardine was good but even had he not taken that shot in the end he still would have lost.

[MattJack]

[Geggy]

How about matt hamill dropping the undefeated munoz with a high kick? Not only that, as he was collapsing, his head landed into his own knee, rendering him unconcious. Just hilarious and sad at the same time. I'm just happy hamill didn't kick me in the head when I wrestled with him, or at least attempted to.

Wow. Yeah, reading about it and seeing it, that is piss poor officiating. Fortunate that Sell was seriously injured.

Love the Jackson/Evans showdown! Better than anything I've seen in WWE or at a boxing press conference in long time. I hope Rampage was kidding about the crime part... I don't think they'll give him the belt if he runs down Rashad with his truck. :\

[McClain]

“I didn’t expect any of that, man,” said Evans. “I was just going to do the face-off and what not but then he started talking trash. I wasn’t even in the mood to play or joke around, I just saw one of my best friends lose a fight which I had him winning until the last 10 seconds. I see the hurt in [Jardine’s] eyes and he’s so upset and he’s disappointed and I feel, like, bad for him. Then this dude is bumpin’ his gums at me, and honestly, I really wanted to punch him in his face, but I knew that wasn’t the right time to do that so I just tried to stay as composed as possible because I don’t like to talk trash. Whenever I got into a street fight I never talked -- I just hit. I never liked to be in someone’s face that close just talking.”

To the people who thought it would have been a split; GTFO. Jardine was good but even had he not taken that shot in the end he still would have lost.

Never mind Jardine had his hands down for like 50% of the fight. My sister was screaming at the TV "Put your fuckin' hands up, stupid!!". I wanted Jardine to win, mainly for Machida to get him a title but by the second round it was obvious it wasn't happening. Rampage is hilarious.

I also guess it was worth jobbing since he got a minor role in the new Jason Statham film.

My favorite was the fight I caught coming home from work, witht he deaf guy winning a fight and cutting a better interview promo than 95% of the active WWE roster. Oh and the guy getting TKO'd from being kicked int he shin so much he couldn't stand up. I fuckin' LOVE UFC's mid and undercards.

[Geggy]

I saw the fight at buffalo wild wings in connecticut and the place erupted when matt hamill KO'd munoz. It was surprising because I always thought he was a little nobody who is only well known in the deaf community. I guess they all cheered for him out of pity due to his disability ha ha.

[MattJack]

So Bully Beatdown (http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/bully_beatdown/series.jhtml) is the number one show on MTV now. I caught the first two episodes yesterday on the net.

It is obviously staged like every other MTV show, but for some reason I kind of like it. I guess part of me likes seeing big guys who think they're tough get the *hit kicked out of them, but I really think it's just because I like Jason Miller.

Anyways, check out the link and fast forward about halfway through to see the bullies getting their sh*t pushed in by low level mma fighters.

[Pentegarn]

So I stumbled into this article this morning while doing my daily news search

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-silva041909&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

I have to say, I think this statement is a bit unfair though

But the bottom line is this: If Silva is going to be the big star, if he’s going to make the big paycheck, then he has to realize it’s incumbent upon him to put on a show.

I disagree. Silva's one and only job is to win the fight. It doesn't get more "bottom line" than that. You want stars who are responsible for "putting on a show"? Then take it to pro wrestling. Real fights are not always going to be pretty. If the fight stinks because UFC set him up with a man who clearly fears getting hit, then the bad show is their fault. Why do you think Dana White apologized to the fans? This was a fumble caused by a poor choice in pairing. Silva was trying to win, so was Thales Leites. They were both trying to play to their strengths as anyone with a lick of sense would be doing.

[MattJack]

I agree. The bottom line is winning your bout. A W is a W no matter how it's obtained. You can easily make a case that Thales was doing some simple BJJ LNP.

If I was a fighter I'd only worry about getting that W. I don't think I'd give two fu*ks what Dana White or some Yahoo! assh*le had to say about it. You may lose a fight if you try being "exciting" or "entertaining" because another guy could catch you on the button while you're swinging for the fence. So stupid.

Writers cry about Machida in the same manner. They say he's boring/not star power/etc etc, but look at Machida after every fight! He doesn't have a scratch on him, and he has a W on his record. MMA is suppose to be about various styles and match ups, not a slobber knocker bloodfest.

Dana White needs to step away from the camera. I think he's good for the business in some ways, but he's just a bad face to have for the UFC if they want to continue to grow and become a "real" sport.

[Pentegarn]

if they want to continue to grow and become a "real" sport.

That's precisely why I was so upset. It is a real sport, and Kevin Iole is treating it like it's a WWE match of a Kubuki Play or the opening night for Cats. This is a sport where people risk their lives and this egghead with a typewriter (or to modernize that expression, a computer) is bitching up a storm because he wants Mr. Saten or Hulk Hogan or something.

Maybe he should step into the ring himself and show us how to entertain :lol

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Bobby Lashley whooped someone in 24 seconds because the other guy came to the ring in a luchador mask.

I'm mainly looking forward to Evans v. Machida and Lesnar v. Mir.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I was able to catch up on 6 years of MMA with some clipshow yesterday than ran for a few hours.

[MattJack]

I'm stoked for Evans v. Machida as well.

I really want Machida to be the champ.

[Angryhydralisk]

I'm stoked for Evans v. Machida as well.

I really want Machida to be the champ.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. It'll be satisfying for two reasons....

1. He's definitely a good ground for a new big star in UFC (16-0!), especially with all the walking afterthoughts bumbling around getting killed by Silva. Lesnar was good, but obviously a publicity stunt to get attention.

2. I'm the only one in my circle of friends marking for him. He's been one of my favorites to watch when I saw him put Tito Ortiz flat on his back (HOW!?!?!) and punch the fuck outta him.

[Sam]

Rooting for Machida here too!

[MattJack]

Sweet KO last night. Rashad had nothing for Machida. The rest of the card was kind of boring though :\

Machida's Karate ain't nothin to fu*k with it seems.

[Sam]

Didn't almost every fight have a first round ending?

[MattJack]

No not really ):

[Sam]

Okay, only 6 out of 11 :rolleyes

[MattJack]

:lol

I was just wanting more I guess.

ITS NEVER GUD ENUFF FER ME

[Angryhydralisk]

Sweet KO last night. Rashad had nothing for Machida. The rest of the card was kind of boring though :\

Machida's Karate ain't nothin to fu*k with it seems.

That was easily the tensest fight I seen in a while. A minute-and-a-half before the first punch or kick connects? FUCK. And that knockout was just beautiful. Rashad's a fantastic fighter but he still had next to no chance, it seemed.

Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra was a very good fight. Really could've went both ways and it's rare to see two fighters really go back and forth like that. Usually, when they're hit that bad at the start they don't get back up and win.

Easily the best UFC Main Events I seen in a long time.

[Pentegarn]

Lesnar won and treated the crowd with the 'double bird' afterward

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-ufcearly071109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

[Sam]

It was sweet when Dan Henderson knocked out Bisping.

[MattJack]

Hendo/Bisping was my fav fight of the night for sure.

Hendo knocking the dog shi* out of him was sooooo gud. I knew it was going to happen after watching the first round. Bisping kept circling to the left which put him right in front of Hendo's right. Sucker.

I think Lezgnar is playing up being The Heel. I don't think he's really like that because if you catch his post fight interviews he's much more humble. He's going to make everyone hate him and then laugh all the way to the bank.

"Hell I might even get on top of my wife tonight." :lol

I was happy to see Sexyama, GSP, and Hendo win. Mir/Lezgnar didn't matter to me because I don't care for either.

[MattJack]

[MattJack]

Just one for the road :grin

[Pentegarn]

I read he did that as payback for some smack that got talked to him

[Angryhydralisk]

Glad to see Bisping get his ass handed to him....or in this case his JAW.

[Pentegarn]

I liked many of the things Shane Carwin had to say in his blog about UFC 100 his upcoming fight at UFC 104 against Cain http://www.shane-carwin.com/profiles/blogs/ufc-100-thoughts

Lately this sport has become extra compelling to me, and honestly I am surprised because I was not on board at first and thought I would not like it

[MattJack]

I think Hendo just said it was payback cause it was the heat of the moment (post fight interview).

If you watch the post fight press conference he says that he was just joking. It's just his job to keep going until the ref stops. I don't really know what I believe to be honest.

Brock has done a good job at making himself the villain. People want his ass to get beat up now. I think his sheer size gives him the advantage. Sure he was a D-1 wrestling champ in 2000, but everyone he fights he out weighs by at least 30 pounds. If he was 215lbs I think he'd get his ass whipped day in and day out.

[WhiteRat]

You're right. Size never matters in combat sports :rolleyes

[WhiteRat]

Tell those sumva bitches they need to gain some weight.

The excuses will never end. I wonder what people will say if Lesnar beats everyone's favorite Russian golden boy.

[Pentegarn]

I think the problem is people wanted to see Lesnar go the way of Kimbo Slice, that he hasn't yet has made people very resentful of him.

[MattJack]

Tell those sumva bitches they need to gain some weight.

The excuses will never end. I wonder what people will say if Lesnar beats everyone's favorite Russian golden boy.

I'm not blaming Lesnar for his size. The UFC doesn't have a very good HW roster, so I'm not expecting them to make a Super HW division, but that's where Lesnar needs to be imo.

If he fought Fedor(which I think weighs in at 235) he'd have a good chance of beating him since he out weighs him by about 40 pounds or so.

[Pentegarn]

You have to admit if Lesnar wasn't somewhat quick for his size himself, or as well trained as he has been, he would be smoked in any division. I don't think it is just his size that is making him win, it is his training and speed as well.

[MattJack]

For sure. He's a freak of nature.

[Pentegarn]

Imagine if he spent those years pre MMA (the WWE and NFL ones I mean) in MMA. He'd probably be 20-2 or something and have a few titles. The name recognition is nice but the WWE past hurts him in the eyes of some fans.

I found this blog's point about it very telling http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dm-lesnar071709&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

"In Round 2, as Lesnar had Mir on the ground and was punching his face in less than 30 seconds before the fight was over, there was a loud chant aimed at referee Herb Dean of “stand them up.”

This was a first in UFC history. Not the chant itself, but it being done when a fighter was pummeling the other and actually seconds away from winning. It was the first time a crowd hated a fighter so much that they were willing to pervert the entire framework of what the sport is supposed to be – that a fighter should do what he can to finish a fight – simply because they wanted that fighter to lose so badly."


It seems sad, and a bit hypocritical, that there are fans that want this and do not realize that if they get their way they set a precedent that would undermine what the MMA is supposed to be all about. We already have a sport where people are forced to stand up and beat each other. It's called boxing.

[MattJack]

Yeah if he would have never been in the WWE then I think fans would like him a bit more. Unfortunately I think fans automatically hold that against him. Doesn't hurt that he comes off as an incredible dick too.

As for the blog I think it was that the fans don't like Brock and from their vantage point they probably just saw him laying on Mir. Even if Herb would have made them stand up I don't think the fight would have ended differently. Also it was the last fight of the super hyped UFC 100. People wanted to see another Hendo/Bisping finish and not a TKO like that.

[Pentegarn]

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dw-silvagriffin080509&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Should be interesting. I wonder though how much speed Silva will lose for going up a weight class to make this fight happen?

[MattJack]

Silva is going to beat the hell out of Forrest. Silva's fought at 205 before, so it isn't a big deal really. I think he walks around at about 205-215 anyway. Forrest is going to have to lay on him and put him on the ground to win.

BJ is going to kill KenFlo too imo.

Should be interesting.

Cant wait for the Lesnar/Carwin fight...

[MattJack]

Well hopefully it'll be better than Mir/Lezgnar. At least Carwin won't be outweighed by 50lbs like Mir.

Carwin doesn't have that much exp though(not saying that Lezgnar does), but he does have heavy hands. I'm giving Lezgnar the edge in this one.

[Pentegarn]

Back on track please. MattJack, how bout some info on the next big UFC PPV

EDIT: This message was for a spammer who's messages have been mostly erased

[MattJack]

It's tonight. I'm not very hyped for it. Couture V Nog. I think Couture is going to pull this one out in the 3rd if he can't manage to knock out Nog by then, but idk.

I'm not really too interested to see Vera, Leben, or Jake Rosholt fight tbh.

In other news, here's the latest thing Fedor has done since the Affliction implosion:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oQy8NSCZw-8&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oQy8NSCZw-8&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

It's just an exhibition match, aka pretty much a glorified wrasstlin match, so I not advise watching this while driving or operating heavy machinery.

[MattJack]

Well I botched that prediction

[Pentegarn]

Can't win em all I suppose. You'll get it right next time though

[MattJack]

Nog just has been looking so bad with his past couple of fights that I thought he was done. Plus I like Randy a good bit, so it clouded my judgment. Still, that was a really good fight.

[Pentegarn]

So Lesnar just dropped from his next match, says he's been sick for 3 and a half weeks and he can't shake it. Hope he is seeing a doctor for it

Boxing is dying and their hxc fans are mad. That's all. I would be mad too if the sport I loved got booty butt fuck*d from every which way.

But Dana White would never allow what happened to boxing to happen to MMA

Herschel Walker won, but what struck the loudest note to me was his rookie opponent lost thus likely ending his own hopes of being a success by losing to someone so much older than him.

I notice Bobby Lashley is going at a much slower pace than Brock Lesner. He is five fights in and from what I have read elsewhere really wants to have as many matches under his belt as he can get before he thinks of going after titles.

Still the worst trade ever.

Lyoto v. Shogun coming up on Saturday.

I got some money on Lyoto. I think he's gonna adjust his game plan and take Shogun out. I'm actually looking forward to this UFC because Lyoto is one of my favorite fighters.

Escept for that and the Koscheck v. Daley fight, that PPV wasn't so good.

Well, except the fighter who looked like Freddie Mercury on roids :lol

Looking for your input MattJack

Silva v. Sonnen

I don't think much of either of these guys as human beings. But I will say this, Sonnen, despite his 11th hour loss, showed he can hang with the big boys and showed that his smack he has been talking was not empty. I admit I look forward to what he will do next. He is a guy you both love to hate, and hate to love.

[MattJack]

I thought the fight was awesome. It wasn't what I had expected by any means. I thought Silva was going to murder Sonnen, but obviously that wasn't the case. Silva had a fractured rib during the fight, so I don't know how much that played into Sonnen's domination.

I don't think that Sonnen could do that again to Andy if they have a rematch. Andy won't have a fractured rib and he'll work on his wrestling. Sonnen has been finished by a triangle like five or six times I believe, so it was really sad to see him still not be prepared for that move. He had his arm in the worst spot for most of the latter part of the fight. To be honest, I thought the submission would happen sooner than it did.

All in all it was an awesome fight! Sonnen will continue to be a wild card, but I don't think we'll hear a lot from him. He's a wrestler with no finishing skills.

I finally got around to checking out Lawlor. He looks ridiculous enough.

[Pentegarn]

So some people were angry over the televised recent event because one fight was over in 1:04. (I missed it, didn't even know about it, but I did hear about the fallout.)

Dana White told the people complaining to "Shut up"

And I have to agree with him, for one, the event was not a PPV. For another, some fights are going to be one sided, and they should be because it legitimizes the sport. Some matches are just one sided. No complaints here.
