cowboy's strategy made zero sense. just walking into punches like that for a whole round to start the fight. did he really think he was going to outbox nate? didn't know who would win but i definitely didn't expect cowboy to fight like a total idiot. have to give nate credit though

silva-slayer comin up on dream

I like how Capt makes it sound like "throwing a bunch of punches" in a winning effort in a combat sport is a bad thing.

The Diaz brothers contribution to the mixed martials is every bit as meaningful as Mark Coleman's and Royce Gracie's.

i guess he would prefer for his winners to outweigh his opponents by 30 pounds and grease up with an illegal substance to gain an illegal advantage in a sport competition.

i still can't believe losers in this thread were getting on me for saying "stun gun" kim was not an exciting fighter. the guy is a more boring asian version of jon fitch, but for some reason gaf was dogging me because he won a lacklluster decision and was ruining my ppv experience.

Nate has no power in his punches.


Also, he cuts a shit load of weight to make 155 but you fuckinh hypocrites ignore that. Dude is a chump. He will get beat by Guida again and any of the top guys at 155.

he tooled your boy toy gosu camp greg jackson fighter cerrone. deal with it.

i told you that cerrrone was a wec trash fighter. you have to be an elite caliber wrestler to beat a diaz brother.

a hillbilly isn't going to cut it.

 

[Heel]

Do you think Volkmann would beat Nate, yaco?

 

[Sinatar]

Unless you're Lay Praynard in which case being an elite wrestler isn't enough.

Wow I'm siding with Yacobod on something.

 

[dream]

So what if Nate lacks power? Between Nate and Nick, we now know that getting hit 500 times in a fight is far worse than taking a one hit ko.

 

[parrotbeak]

Chonen vs Mach is up next.

 

[Chamber]

You guys need to stop the infighting. The Anderson Silver slayer is about to fight.

 

[yacobod]

Do you think Volkmann would beat Nate, yaco?

Heel, i'd have to say Mr. Christmas would have a good chance of outpointing Mr. Diaz in a sporting competition, but Mr. Diaz would also be dangerous off his back and could catch Mr. Chrismas with a submission. Volkman is a tough out for anyone w/out superb TDD.

I think Nate is a more dangerous fighter at 155#, but with Christmas' skill set he can beat plenty of fighters in his weight class due to the scoring system.

 

[dream]

God I love Mach's entrance.

 

[yacobod]

Wow I'm siding with Yacobod on something.

honestly, if i'm not trolling gsp or overeem, i think i usually have pretty good MMA analysis. it's hard to overlook that tho.

on that point, does anyone have a point breakdown of tonight's sherdog fantasy scoring?

 

[dream]

That said, why is he still fighting in 2012...

 

[yacobod]

That said, why is he still fighting in 2012...

it's a worked fight against another japanese fighter?

either guy would get murdered against someone from north america.

 

[Heel]

Gotta ask the same thing about the Silver Slayer.

Might as well dig up Rumina Sato and TK while they're at it.

The only picks I got right was Reem and Stun Gun..

 

[Chamber]

The sherdog pick 'em doesn't show you the ranks for each event, only overall.

They need to be blasted for that decision.

I emailed them about adding pool leaderboard sorting for events, promotions, months etc.

Hi Heel,

Thanks for the email and the kind words. Your suggestions are really good ones and we're already in the process of implementing some changes to the game that you'll start to see over the next few months. The changes to the leaderboards is just one of the many you'll notice.

Thanks again,

i had 860 pts tonight and 660 pts at ufc 140. i didnt submit my picks for the sf event.

 

[Chamber]

7 of 11, 5 perfects

I think this was the easiest card to pick we've had so far.

 

[yacobod]

ya i had 6 of 11 perfects with 3/5 boosted.

 

[Heel]

1200 - 8 of 11 (well, 10), 7 perfects, 4/5 boosts.

The best score I can find on the leaderboard is 1210.

 

[parrotbeak]

My picks were all fucked up. 550, 4 out of 11, 2 perfect, 3 good boosts, 2 bad boosts.

 

[Chamber]

I'm scared of using boosts because I don't like the idea of losing points but I'd be a lot higher up if I did. Should have gotten them on both Gus and Hendricks tonight.

 

[yacobod]

i can understand being scared if you are betting with real money, but on fantasy pickem's what's your excuse brah.

Put it this way...if you get 2 of 3 wrong you haven't lost anything. It's worth it.

Looks like this guy got 1260 (and guessed 45 takedowns in the main event, haha).

 

[Chamber]

I play it safe like Georges.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I like the leg triangle lots of Japanese fighters use to keep a guy from getting up. You don't see it much in UFC at all but it seems like a great way to keep the guy secure and from wall walking. Mayhem used it against Bisping in the 1st round before being awful from then on.

 

[yacobod]

crusher finishes some guy with an arm triangle.

energy levels really low, may fall asleep soon. not sure if i can stay up for HW GOAT fedor.

I'm used to working nights. I'm wide awake until around 7am usually.

 

[parrotbeak]

Oh this on delay, huh? Schiavello tweeted Kawajiri's dominance 9 minutes earlier.

 

[yacobod]

working nights? you guys need to get nice pleasant white color jobs working 9 to 5.

 

[Chamber]

I sure wish, brother.

 

[parrotbeak]

Oh maybe he was just talking about rd 1.

 

[Heel]

I really want to stay up and see Saku back to wrestling again. He's a great entertainer.

 

[yacobod]

I sure wish, brother.

if i get to work early enough some days i work 7 to 3or4.

the commute to des plaines sucks :/

 

[Heel]

I'm just happy I have the opportunity to waste company time with you fine gentlemen.

Same here. Always have to find things across the world to watch. Lots of Aussie and Japanese sports.

be strong, i'm staying up as long as i can for this crap. i want to see the big timmeh wrestling match, joshu barnett cut a mean promo, the aoki fight, and fedor. my wife's sleeping, so i'm free to do as i please.

It's like someone showed this girl a genki sudo entrance and told her that's what Japanese people love and to mimic it as best as you can on your limited budget.

dream, what about my boy d-rose and carlos boozer lighting up lob city tonight?

That's a good idea. I usually end up watching whatever crap movies are on. I've seen Half Past Dead more times than I care to admit.

Beautiful.

 

[Heel]

I wonder if Joshu is tappin' that beast.

 

[Heel]

...in sparring.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Barnett time!

 

[parrotbeak]

According to the Voice's twitter, Barnett is next.

Edit: beaten like a cowboy

I guess you guys played a great game. But when you wake up tomorrow, Carlos Boozer will still be a max player for your team and you know he doesn't have many games like this in him.

 

[yacobod]

no question. shoot wrestling ftw.
