If anyone is brave enough, the One FC prelims are going to start any minute now.

Right now they're just taking photos and shit whilst listening to metal. The production values actually look existent.

Hooray for not looking like a low budget American Gladiator stage.

Whoa sweet! Enomoto is gonna fight!

Ha Bob Sapp scheduled to fight. I wonder if he'll actually show up this time or bitch out again and hold the producers for ransom like he usually does.

 

[industrian]

Still can't believe they're charging $9.99 for this.

On the other hand Bob Sapp's upcoming fight in India against James Thompson... now that's worth $9.99.

 

[industrian]

This announcer has the most fucked up hair ever.

 

[Maklershed]

I was just gonna post that. Looks like he was letting one of his kids play with scissors and a shaver.

EDIT: What? That one dude is a wushu fighter? Doesn't that use weapons?

 

[industrian]

He looks like Bill Paxton. If he had a lobotomy and a dangerous drug habit.

 

[Maklershed]

Wow that was fast. Violent tko.

Ha Bill Paxton w/ a Simple Jack haircut.

 

[Maklershed]

This ring is HUGE. If UFC 143 took place in here Diaz would've never been able to catch Condit.

 

[industrian]

Either this ring is huge or those guys are tiny as fuck.

And yeah, this Peter Davis guy has a pretty varied career. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Davis_(actor)

You read my mind. Diaz would have needed to have been flying to catch him.

Spoiler

But according to the drug tests he already was.

 

[Maklershed]

I wish I knew metric. :/

 

[industrian]

I wish I knew metric. :/

I'm so used to hearing MMA in imperial measurements now. It sounded jarring as fuck. Especially coming from a guy with that kind of haircut.

 

[industrian]

That's the worst thing about boring fights. You miss the big punches/knockdowns/actual fighting due to absolute boredom.

Both these guys should never fight again.

 

[Maklershed]

Pretty boy wins

This Sayed guy looks tough.

 

[industrian]

Pretty boy wins

Decent triangle, but both fighters looked like they took too many notes from Carlos Condit.

And Rocky music should be banned from MMA.

 

[Maklershed]

Oh shit the camera man fell. What good timing too .. right when that camera was active.

 

[industrian]

Someone KO'd the cameraman. Classic.

 

[industrian]

He had no fight left when he hit the ground. Good stoppage.

 

[Maklershed]

Hnng dat ring girl. She looks like an Asian Denise Richards w/ a little baby fat a la Britney. <3

 

[industrian]

Flyweights? Fuck, it'll take them 10 seconds just to get to the middle of the cage.

 

[industrian]

Kung Fu Fighting?!

Rocky music looks good in retrospect.

 

[Maklershed]

Ohhh I see muay thai shorts! I'm feeling good things about this match up. These guys look like they're gonna be fast and energetic as hell.

 

[industrian]

[Maklershed]

None of those look like the one that was in the ring w/ that Sayed guy.

Eaustaquio's striking is vicious.

EDIT: Dear lord that cut on Silva

 

[industrian]

Good escape. Deep cut.

 

[Maklershed]

Beautiful transitions from Silva.

 

[industrian]

This Muay Thai guy should have kept it standing. But kudos in not taking the Overeem route when faced with going to ground with a BJJ pro.

 

[industrian]

One guy needs his face stitched, the other guy needs his shorts stitched. Good fight so far.

 

[Maklershed]

The prelims for this are 1000x better than the main card on XFC last night. This is UFC level fighting. Good stuff.

Hopefully this stays on the feet a bit longer this round. I liked seeing the striking of that Eaustaquio guy.

I was "unlucky" not to catch the XFC. One of the fringe benefits of living in Asia.

 

[industrian]

The ref should remind them there's 30 seconds left in the 3rd round. They were totally chilled out.

Edit: Hold up, that was the 2nd? Shit, I'm in some sort of time warp here.

 

[Maklershed]

I think the OneFC logo in the center of the canvas is bigger than the entire WEC / TUF ring.

You're probably right.

I would understand having a big cage if there was big fighters, but there's only one HW fight on the card. That and as a grass-roots Asian fight promotion one would expect the lower weight classes to be the key highlights.

 

[Maklershed]

Ouch man that body kick hurt my ribs.

Good fight. I'm not sure who I'd give that to. Probably Eustaqio. Especially if they give more emphasis to damage than the US does.

 

[industrian]

There's taking time and there's taking the piss. Get the scores already.

 

[Maklershed]

I bet if that fight was in the UFC Silva would've won because of the takedowns.

 

[industrian]

"The Gravity" is a cool nickname. Deserved victory.

I bet if that fight was in the UFC Silva would've won because of the takedowns.

I saw him running away once or twice as well, so he'd definitely get the unanimous decision.

Oh snap! Ha

Where you at in Asia, industrian? (if you don't mind saying)

And what time is it there?

 

[industrian]

Oh snap! Ha

Where you at in Asia, industrian? (if you don't mind saying)

And what time is it there?

Taiwan. It's 10:45pm here (one hour later than Indonesia, where this event is taking place.)

 

[Maklershed]

Have you always lived there or are you just visiting / there temporarily?

 

[Maklershed]

Whoa they're allowd to face kick on the ground?

 

[industrian]

Have you always lived there or are you just visiting / there temporarily?

Lived in Korea from 2009-2010, been living in Taiwan since then. I'm working at a software company right now but am leaving just to chill out for the rest of the year. I'll be training full time and just enjoying myself for the rest of the year.

 

[industrian]

Whoa they're allowd to face kick on the ground?

Only if allowed by the referee. The referee says "Open attacks ok"

Those heel kicks to the face when down were awesome.

 

[tass0]

lolwushu

 

[Maklershed]

That Tiew guy took himself out.

Sweet. I'd love to visit there sometime just to see the sights and feel like a giant.

 

[industrian]

Well, as I'm 6'6", there's no "feel" involved for me.

And yeah, it's great being out here. I'm from Scotland and the change of scenery from that to this is incredible. Lots of great sights in Taiwan, and one of the reasons why I'm leaving my job is because I want to see all of it, instead of just being stuck in a cubicle for 10-12 hours a day.

Plus the location is good for travelling. I'll be going to Thailand for April to train full time Muay Thai for a month.

 

[Maklershed]

The prelims have been so good I'd like to see the main card but I don't trust a foreign entertainment company with my credit card.

I'm 6'6", there's no "feel" there, man.

6'4" 225 here. :b

Soooo jealous. That sounds amazing.

 

[industrian]

I've not heard this Limp Bizkit song for at least 8 years. I feel like a 17 year old all of a sudden.

Soooo jealous. That sounds amazing.

It's cheap too. Under US$500 for a full month including training and accommodation. Flights are the killer though. US$670 for a return flight from Taipei to Phuket.

You heard him guys, Bob Sapp is a world class kickboxer.

I always loved Chael Sonnen's "two words to discredit K1" gag.

 

[calza]

Going to my first session of MMA tonight, looking forward to it. Tonight is grappling and thursday striking.

Any beginner mistake I should know to avoid?
