Seeing Schilt drop like a sack of potatoes brings me so much joy. His KO loss to Hari was also pretty sweet.

i love how Ignashov just stands there after the knee, looking at Schilt, then calmly walks away.
Ignashov also bodied Bad Hari.

This is what we hoped for when Ghita was on his unstoppable streak only to get headkick KO'd in NYE
Ghita just doesn't match-up well with Schilt.
Murthel Groenhart vs Robin Van Roosmalen on Glory 7 (the Petro card in Milan) will be a spectacular scrap, holy shit. The combat sports gods have turned their favor towards us again with 3 straight Glory cards every other week.
I hope Ghita's infatuation with his hands has ended.
It's a reward for suffering through two GSP fights in a relatively short period of time.

I am legit more excited for these Glory cards than any combat sports card all the way until UFC on FOX 7, Gil da ? v Bendo.
That K-1 card made me thankful that the dutch mafia still has interest in Kickboxing, the croatian mafia just doesn't compare.

Indeed. May the Dutch underworld continue this fruitful relationship of laundering their money by funding the highest level kickboxing on the planet.
Amen.

I might have to call the bitc-wait this is GAF who won "Fairtex" or "Por Pramuk" from now on.
UFC 157's Lavar Johnson flagged, on notice for elevated testosterone levels
I have to blame the UFC on this one. If they paid him more he'd be on The Clear 3.0 and we wouldn't have this problem with mistimed cycling.

I was legitimately bummed out when Ghita got KO'ed by Schilt.This is what we hoped for when Ghita was on his unstoppable streak only to get headkick KO'd in NYE

If Saki wins and gets the shot at Schilt, isn't he also a bad match-up? I missed the decision he lost to Schilt at Glory 4, but I am assuming he had a difficult time with Schilt partly because he is a foot shorter.

Yep. Saki should be fighting at 205. It's Showtime had divisions outside of heavyweight and 155 before Glory bought them, hopefully Glory keeps those.

Saki has a "Mighty Mo" chance of landing a overhead right, but vs Schilt chances are slim.
for personal entertainment, i would rather enjoy watching 100% legit K-1 2012 champion Mirko Mirko vs Schilt

Wow. Hong Man Choi beat Semmy in a kickboxing match. HMC isn't as bad as I thought.
Some fights I'd like to see
Akebono vs HMC
Semmy vs Bigfoot
Bigfoot vs Sylvia
Arlovski vs Semmy

this happened 3 times under K-1 rules.
all 3 matches ended the same way, take a guess.

LOL. And you thought Vadummy's voodoo conspiracy was bad? Check out Cesar Gracie:
Absolutely, friend. There should really be an option to make things equal.
ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE.
Shit, it's almost as if Georges has basic wrestling IQ. Real easy to see why the rest of the Gracie's talk shit about Cesar.
The proportions on this are killing me.

Isn't he not a 'real' Gracie or something like that? Was born with a different family name but changed it? I can't recall but either way, this sort of behaviour is hardly out of the norm for members of the Gracie family. Hell, I'd say that even if he did change his name this sort of vague excuse-making proves that there's some Vale Tudo spirit in his veins.

If so, it's a million people who saw GSP put on another snoozer. The more people who saw that fight, the worse it is for GSP and the UFC because a good portion of them won't be coming back.

He's a real Gracie. His mom is Helio's niece.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
I was impressed by GSP's performance
Need a gif of Nick getting all pissed off when GSP kept landing his Super Man jab.

I'm still in disbelief that Kevin Casey went out the way he did. He doesn't want to be a fucking fighter.

You say that like this is new. Canada is always GSP's big backing. Put a hockey game and a Bret Hart match on the show and it would break 5 mil there.
Give me a break, pauly. Folks have been whining about GSP for years now and he hasn't drawn under 600k buys since the fucking Serra fight. Georges can wrestlefuck a broom for 10 rounds and still outdraw everyone on the roster.

Lol no shit. Josh has been looking for the easiest route possible this entire season as was Bubba. Both will be viciously KOd. I have a feeling Josh is going to be a total puss when Hall brutally KOs Bubba. I was like "really?" When they didnt have Hall fight Josh.

I remember Ignashov dabbling in MMA and losing to NJPW's Nakamura. I also remember shaking my head.
Not only that but they'll lure in other paying customers with the 'THIS TIME he'll face someone unlike anyone else he's ever faced before!" bs. Diaz with the elite standup (lol), Shields with the ground game, Koscheck got into his head, repeat ad infinitum.
Now it'll be Hendrickx with the devastating knockout power and amazing wrestling. And people will believe. And they'll pay too.
And you can't really blame GSP for fighting safe either. People still overwhelmingly pay to see it and he bruises like an overripe peach at the slightest touch so why would he be more agressive?

Friends, The Game criterion bluray is $16.49 on Amazon today. Buy it.
Most of those people are Canadians, females, victims of bullying or crossfit enthusiasts...they just wanna see their guy win and GSP is really good at delivering.
We'll come back to see Hendricks send GSP to the mat with that left hand.
At least one of us in this thread called the Condit v. Hendricks fight a contender for FOTY. I'd agree. I'd also wager that Georges gets busted up easy enough and gets gassed quick enough that Hendricks has a puncher's chance of taking that belt. Think Matt Serra v. GSP I (
hopefully not II
Seeing Nate the Great get knocked out and Condit v. Hendricks were the only redeeming events last weekend. The main event just got me prepped for a good night's sleep. Spoiler: I slept like a king.

I make a feeble attempt at getting people to watch UFCs that I think will be good, but my friends only want to watch big names like GSP. The bars were packed--we had to drive around to find a place that was still letting people in.
I mean, you can say it's the casual fan's fault for not understanding what will be a good fight. My friends were saying how great this fight would be and I said, nah, Hendricks/Condit will be the main event and GSP/Diaz will suck. They just wanted to talk about the hype and the trash talk. They bought their wolf tickets.
However, the next ppv is Jones/Sonnen, and the casuals will be back for that for sure.

Diaz/Kampmann would be a good fight and makes sense. I really want Diaz/Lawler 2 though.
Aside from my wife and myself everyone else who watches the PPV's with us are casuals. They know GSP, Anderson Silva and Jon Jones - and those are the only names they care about. GSP especially is shrouded in a celebrity that overcomes his real-world performances. He can blanket fighters and squeeze decisions out of every matchup and he'll still sell. Though not as bombastic as the WWE the selling point behind GSP is the man and the drama surrounding his fights rather than the fights themselves.
Hendricks beating GSP is the only hope we have of making GSP an interesting fighter again. It will probably improve his celebrity, too, since everyone loves a good comeback story. GSP loses to Hendricks and fights Condit for welterweight contender: one can only dream.

Who does Ellenberger fight? Rory?

You know what.. I wouldn't be opposed to this at all. Could end up pretty good.
industrian
will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
GSP vs. Hendricks
Ellenberger vs. Saffiedine (for No. 1 contender)
Condit vs. Marquardt
Rory vs. Kampmann
I figure that Diaz will retire or only remain for big money fights (which are now close to impossible for him now unless he bulks up to 185 or cuts to 155 - which would leave him under-powered and competing with his brother respectively.)
To be honest the hardest fighter to find a matchup for is Rory, as he's destined to be No. 1 contender within a year or so but would never cash the cheque whilst GSP is still there. So you either build him up to that perennial 2nd place and keep him there indefinitely, GSP steps aside, or Rory bulks up to 185 and tries his luck there. All of a sudden that rumoured GSP retirement plan looks more and more likely for Rory's sake.
