WEC 155# was never strong, it had 3 fighters rotating for title shots, fucking jamie varner, bendo, and cowboy?

It will be strong enough when Bendo and Cowboy are rotating for the UFC lightweight division.

 

[Maklershed]

How do you guys think Kenny would do against Cyborg?

My friend and I were just talking about her fighting in the UFC and how we think she could kick Faber's ass.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Is that mutha fuckin Tywin Lannister.

Edit: Yes, it is.

keep dreaming.

 

[Chamber]

Kenny would be all over it.

I think being top 5 in a UFC division carries more prestige than a Strikeforce belt. I'm not sure if anyone thinks Rockhold is any better than fringe top 10. His win over Jacare probably did more damage to Souza's rep than it did to boost Luke.

 

[AstroLad]

there are so many "how did i ever think this guy was good?" guys in strikeforce. jacare and mousasi being the kings of that group. i remember when i used to be excited for those guys fights. god they suck

I remember when Mousasi beat Babalu and people said he was the next Fedor.

They were right.

But think about it. He can be the first Male female champion in MMA.

I'M BACK!

Arianny's just getting old. Time for some new blood.

It's okay, I will still marry her.

Don't judge me dream!

I love going back and watching some of these B rate sideshow fights in the early days of MMA. This one is a classic, Travis Fulton vs. some guy who had no MMA experience except Tae Kwon Do, and the owned of the fed at the time agreed to let him fight as long as Fulton didn't throw any strikes. Hilarity ensues.

So apparantly, a friend of a friend is fighting on the Dream NYE card.

He's facing japanese K1 champ of the -63Kg division Yuta Kubo. Never heard of him, but I'm not that well informed about K1 nowadays. His name is Nils Widlund.

Holy shit, lol. He reminded me of bicycle lady zombie in the Walking Dead.

Wait, why would they care if Fulton threw strikes if he was a wrestler/bjj guy against a striker?

Just tell your friend the guys from Japan so he's guaranteed a win.

except that the fight's in Japan, so he's probably going to be paid to take a fall

I have no idea what Jeremy Bullock was thinking.

I am a 4th degree black belt in TKD, and we never gave MMA/Grappling a second thought. We had the Olympics and that was your focus if you were a competitor. You didn't have illusions that TKD would be a perfect martial art.

On the other hand if it was Jeremy Bulloch, I supposed he'd use a blaster then fly away on his jetpack. Nah, he was a pretty shitty fighter too.

 

[Keen]

Why pay him, the judges are going to award the win to the japanese guy anyway. If it goes to a decision that is, so might be best to pay him anyway

Maybe he's a Gaffer and thought "Free trip to Japan!"

 

[Host Samurai]

I like the idea of Mousasi at 185 at least until Jones goes to his natural weight class.

The UFC countdown show does a really bad job of selling Overeem..


Basically..
"I was getting my ass beat at 205lb so I moved to heavyweight and beat up Paul Buentello and Brett Rogers."

 

[Maklershed]

I approve of Chamber's new series of avatars.

Ah forgot... guess I'll record it next airing (Fri, 10PM). Love me some DirecTV.

Well, a free trip to Japan isn't bad.

He's currently in San Diego studying, and training mma at blackhouse SD.


Here's an old K-1 fight .

Random question, but who do guys consider to have the worst standup in MMA?

My top choices are

Mayhem
Aoki
Shields
OSP guy from Strikeforce card

I like Jason Macdonald, he's a nice guy in RL and when he's on he has some really slick GnP and submissions but his boxing is turrible. Like a robot (and no I'm not talking Cantwell either)

I would like to be the number one contender by the end of 2012.

To be fair he fought against one of the very best standup fighters out there.
WTF Mousasi didnt trained BJJ, cardio or standup for the latest fight. He only trained wrestling. :0

Mousasi with a real training camp would be a beast. A BEAST I SAY!

 

[charsace]

I've seen it all over the net.

Shields would have to try to finish Anderson because Anderson is very aggressive fighting from his back. There's no way he could make it through 5 rounds laying on him.

Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy wants to fight Matt Hughes next: http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/127467.html

"Mind you at the same time, I don't want somebody who's on their way out of the sport. I don't want to go calling out Royce Gracie! I would want Hughes to come to win."

 

[parrotbeak]

Not as weak as Stann calling out Wand when he was limping around on one leg, but cmon. I don't even like Hughes but I don't want to see him go out on fucking Dan Hardy.

 

[yacobod]

matt hughes would wrestlefuck hardy

Realistic and accurate simulation of Reem vs. Lesnar.

[alr1ght]

that's some Rampage/Wandy 3 level of late hits.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I believe that knee will be how it ends.

 

[Heel]

Okay, that made me laugh way more than it should have.

Good God almighty! They've killed him!

 

[Chamber]

I can't see any other way it ends.

 

[AstroLad]

hahah yup. to be fair that is one of the best parts of those games. i think it was the ea one that let you hit the guy like 10 times after the ko

Speaking of, anyone who wants a code for Overeem in UFC Undisputed 3: Go to http://www.facebook.com/UFCUndisputed, click "Get Alistair Overeem" in the column on the left and follow the instructions.

UFC Store having a $9.99 sale for DVD's.

http://www.ufcstore.com/999-dvds-vi...c_gift-guide_popular-categories_9-99-dvd-sale

SAVE20 code gives 20% off as well, but shipping isn't free. Have PRIDE 33* that is in my cart right now for $10.94 deciding whether to get it or not, since I traded in a few DVD's today and picked up a couple at the local used DVD and stuff store.

 

[Maklershed]

I wonder if Scott "hands of stone" Smith is on that Ultimate Comebacks dvd?

EDIT: The UFC app on Xbox is awesome! Feel free to add me to your xbl friends list.

LOL so apparently Sonnen is "done" with Anderson Silva:

"I'm done with the guy. He and I have no business. He's cold product. He's like jheri curls and Pepsi Clear. He's yesterday's news. I destroyed this guy back when he was tough. That was years ago. He's so far over the hill and so far past his prime that it's not worth talking about.

I'm going to become the No. 1 contender on January 28th and despite what you may think, I'm not going to use that voucher to fight Anderson Silva. I'll be looking at (Jon) Jones, (Junior) dos Santos and possibly (Georges) St. Pierre. I will take that voucher to Dana White and pick one of those three guys. My time with Anderson is done."

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/12/...georges-st-pierre-jon-jones-junior-dos-santos

Sounds fine by me. I rather see Thunder Dan vs. Anderson anyway, and Sonnen fed to Jones and completely and utterly destroyed would be some of the best TV watching since 'Sanford and Son' debuted.

PS - Hay guys like my new kewl sweater?
