[industrian]

SWOOSH-WOOSH-SWOOSH-WOOSH... oh, we're back.

 

[Chamber]

Can't wait for Fox to take us out of this Facebook ghetto.

 

[polyh3dron]

Goldie sure is bringing the stupid today

"Cariaso's happy to come to England and fight a guy the same size as him and that's what we've seen"

Fuck?

 

[industrian]

Dan Miragliotta looks fucking huge compared to these kids. Almost comical.

 

[polyh3dron]

Cariaso trained at Tri Star for this fight.

That explains why it's boring as fuck. God dammit Firas.

 

[BigKaboom2]

Cariaso can't stop getting clinched when he uses his actual gameplan, so now he's just using Lee's gameplan but more effectively.

 

[industrian]

Educated crowd? Birmingham?!

 

[BigKaboom2]

COME BACK

EDIT: NEP VISIONS?

 

[Plywood]

[polyh3dron]

Almost thought we were gonna have a Birmingham screwjob on our hands.

 

[Heel]

Wow...Che Mills is in the UFC now?

I'll go with Che.

 

[polyh3dron]

Wow this card is so shitty Che Mills is on it.

Can't wait for the "woo"s.

I have Che too.

Did not realize that the MMA thread dates back to Pre-TUF UFC days. Pretty old school. What was everyone's introduction?

I saw the very first UFC back in the day on illegal cable but I was a hardcore wrestling fan at the time and actually thought that UFC 1 was a pro wrestling PPV from Japan. Didn't really get into MMA until I saw Randleman vs Fedor on super late night cable in 2004.

So out of curiosity, did anyone here take up any martial arts because of the MMA explosion?

*Raises hand*

Got my blue belt in judo. Stopped it because it was very brutal on my body.
Got my blue belt in BJJ - silver medal at an IBJJF tournament a while back in my first tourney as a blue. Feels so sweet.
Couple months of Savate
A year of Muay Thai and boxing under my belt.

Watched some of the first UFCs back in the mid 90's. I don't remember if it was VHS or PPV, but I'm pretty sure they were the PPVs. Since then I've loved UFC, but fell out of major following back in the "Dark ages" of the UFC post Tito-Frank Superfight when it seemed it took a while before it was highly promoted or accepted anymore.

 

[polyh3dron]

Battle of the shitty nicknames holy shit

WHERE ARE YOU DREAM

 

[Ikuu]

Goldberg should have done some research on these pronunciations lol.

 

[Chamber]

Chris Cope? Good God...

 

[polyh3dron]

Yeah me I saw the first few UFCs on VHS as a kid but didn't really follow it too closely.. Bought the UFC game for Dreamcast and enjoyed the hell out of it, and would watch my friends' PRIDE DVDs every now and then but didn't start to get hardcore into it until around the time of the Lesnar/Herring fight and the GSP/Penn 2 fight. Haven't missed a PPV since UFC 97.

 

[Rur0ni]

Destroyed...

 

[bloodydrake]

destroyed

 

[tass0]

FUCK YOU AND YOUR 'WOO'

I hate Cope.

 

[Heel]

Che gonna Che.

 

[Plywood]

Woo

 

[industrian]

"Hands up!"

 

[BigKaboom2]

dat knee

 

[ShaunBRS]

Sick knee.

 

[Chamber]

Cope has no business in the UFC. Bottom of the barrel TUF fighter.

 

[Rur0ni]

Haven't missed a PPV since UFC 97.

Same here. Kind of creepy.

 

[polyh3dron]

CHE MILLS GOT SKILLS

 

[Heel]

Cope is knocked so silly that he's celebrating a victory.

 

[AstroLad]

So after the prelims they go dark and you have to watch on a stream or wait for 8 pm or whatever?

 

[ldcommando]

BRILLIANT KNEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chamber]

So after the prelims they go dark and you have to watch on a stream or wait for 8 pm or whatever?

Pretty much.

 

[polyh3dron]

Che Mills is still a can. He'll get LnP'd. Ain't no "huge entry" into the 170 division.

 

[BigKaboom2]

So after the prelims they go dark and you have to watch on a stream or wait for 8 pm or whatever?

Yes, and then a few days later you see an article on MMAJunkie about how they're so so mad about piracy.

 

[tass0]

Come on, Omigawa.

 

[Heel]

I think I'm going to join poly and, ahhem, start up my special satellite dish that gets ESPN UK to watch UFC live.

Nothing will stop me from watching Pro Elite. NOTHING.

 

[ldcommando]

Dear God... Joe, stop saying brilliant

 

[polyh3dron]

Come on, Omigawa.

He got fucking robbed in his last fight.

 

[industrian]

Yes, we know that Mr. Mills has some skills, Joe.

 

[Heel]

Omigawa via superior budo.

 

[AstroLad]

Yes, and then a few days later you see an article on MMAJunkie about how they're so so mad about piracy.

Haha. Figures.
