Coker knows business. feed Melvin cans with zero ground game and you got yourself your new friday night draw.

If the last event poster left any doubt, we now know for a fact what the B in BFC stands for.

Scott Coker told me he shook hands with the original Frank Dux and told him he wanted to be like him.
Yes, I say that as a Pettis fan. Dude can go, but he shatters on people.
It took me a good minute to see this. Lmao
BASED COKER.
Kimbo is next, friends.

You think Devon Dudley could make the crossover, dream? What about MVP?
I'm like 2/3 of the way through watching Battleground and my god what a shit PPV. Like UFC 174 tier.

as if they give a fuck about the matches, they're watching for jack off material, which is another level of sad by itself.
Very sad indeed.

the only WWE Diva worth a damn is that one that comes out with Rusev.
Fixed.

The thing that kills me about it tho is McGregor is shit on the mic. He just sounds like any arsehole from Finglas you could pull off the street. "Ah ye ill bleedin' pull his head off, knoworrimsayin, oil fookin batter de cunt" etc. Throw in some Ali/Rocky quotes and you have McGregor in a nutshell. He thinks hes as witty and humourous as Ali but is more like Freddy Starr.

Pretty good article about Rousey and the Ultimate in general:
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/07/28/mean-girl
And in light of this McGregor thing, why does the UFC not send everyone to media training? McGregor is the only new star in ages and he did it all by himself. How can other fighters not see Chael and Conor running their mouths and being in main events all the time? The fighting's real but a bit of pro wrestling in the buildup can't hurt.
Also looking forward to this weekend's card. #Teampositive lifer here.

Yup. Endless hours once you have all the edit packs. I discovered Japanese MMA/Wrestling by playing some of the old Fire Pro and Virtual Pro Wrestling games on on SNES/PS1/N64. Such great times.

More fun roster than the Ultimate these days

It sure is. He was no match for the great mustache though. Followed that match up by putting on a GNP clinic with Big Sexy Kevin Nash on the Fedor Emelianenko destruction tour.
Yeah I used to play the SNES ones via emulator. Great stuff. VPW 1/2 on N64 were pretty awesome too. Had a weird fandom for Hayabusa back in the day for some odd reason.
Made so many damn CAWs back in the day as well. Is #43 on running attacks still the Spear in Mania 2000? Good wrestling games need to come back. Hopefully the next gen versions will be worthwhile.
Game creation would be awesome in pure kickstarter form. Fund THQ to make another Undisputed.
I don't think I've actually ever heard him speak. I just love his shit talking on the interwebz and to the media. And of course every great superstar needs great weigh in staredowns.
This was excellent. Rickson makes some great points about sport BJJ. It's getting kind of silly.

Same. He was in WCW vs The World and even Revenge. Had a bad azz move set
SPIKE should put a new Fire Pro game on kickstarter. They would deff get the funding for it
Should check out EA UFC. They patched and fixed most of the glaring issues I had with the game and added GoDilla, Woodley and Mizugaki.

Deff gonna download that update when I get home. Playing the game with people gets old after a few rounds because the roster is so limited. Is the character DLC free? I would only shell out dough for some legends DLC. No desire to play as those jabronis
I like that Fedor is black in FPR, when all the other MMA guys aren't really edited at all.

Their default names are pretty funny too
Yes. Dillashaw, Woodley and Mizugaki have been added free of charge.

Conor vs Poirer at UFC 178 on September 27.
Gonna be an awesome fight.
Yeah fantastic card. Hope it lives up to KZ/Porier levels.
I keep trying to like it, but so much about it pisses me off. It's a great kickboxing game, MMA not so much.

I like what he says but sport BJJ has advanced too far to reel it back in now. Sport BJJ is a separate entity much like self defense BJJ is different from MMA BJJ. Sure the IBJJF rules need tweaks to prevent stalling but shit like berimbolos and other "sport" specific moves are incredibly fun to learn and do. Embrace the differences and the factions I say. Not everyone is going to like the same type of jiu jitsu. Some of us will never be in a street fight, a dojo storm, or enter the octagon.
This is why you lose effectiveness.
lol I don't think Reverse de la Riva is getting through the Helio Filter.
In all seriousness, speaking more to his comments on stalling, scoring and spectator appeal than the "this wouldn't work in a street fight" fuckery.
He does make a good point on sport BJJ players gaining fame, opening schools teaching the next generation, though. "Self-defense? Go learn Krav Maga..." lol

Unless you're a bad-ass in the OT. In which case you should go straight to Jeet Kune Do.

I see nothing wrong with this as long as the professor and school are open about being a "sport" specific school.
