That was glorious. The sequence towards the end with the hands is my favorite. Genki > Anderson.

anyone making a 137 thread? i wanted to make it, but now that gsp dropped off the card due to a steroid related training injury, i've kind of lost motivation.

A nice Cro-cop tribute 137 thread would be nice tho. UFC 137 |OT| - RHK Hospital, LHK Cemetary and a Scrap in the ME!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

A nice tribute to Big Country's slimming down would be better.

UFC 137: Less Cals, More Beard.

a professional fighter getting in shape shouldn't be noteworthy or applauded. it's there job.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Well kicking people in the head is Cro Cops job as well....................

well i'm just saying that mma has a long way to go to match the professionalism of other major sports when something like that is news-worthy. and it's still amazing how many fighters still gas out after 1 round.

You're going to be so pissed when BJ shoots in and takes Diaz down.

 

[alr1ght]

except BJ doesn't grind decisions.

 

[dream]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

 

[TheKaeptain]

except BJ doesn't grind decisions.

BJ is going to wrestle him then take his back and sub him. Just like he was wanting to do with the Bearded Blanket.

 

[Heel]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Is this veiled commentary on the abysmal state of MMA journalism?

Probably Wanderlei Silva, after I was finished openly cheering for fighters from press row, selling event programs at the post-fight conference, and throwing Dana White some softballs so I don't get my credentials yanked.

that's fine.

Id have mirko Crocop autograph one of my pride owgp dvds.

And lol at gsp fans trying to project their favorite athletes flaws on other fighters.

 

[Brian Fellows]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Joe Lauzon of course!

 

[sazabirules]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

The genius named Paul Harris.

 

[Fersis]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Anderson Silva and/or Fedor Emilianenko

Lame i know.

 

[Master Thespian]

The genius named Paul Harris.

He would sign it "Rousimar Palha", throw your pen in the tall grass, and mosey off triumphantly.

 

[sazabirules]

My serious answer would be Ebersole or Ben Henderson.

 

[Maklershed]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Danny Abbadi of TUF 3 fame.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Well kicking people in the head is Cro Cops job as well....................

If that's the case he's been unemployed for years.

 

[MjFrancis]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Wanderlei Silva
Jose Aldo
Mirko Cro Cop

I'd ask them for an autograph anyways, journalist or not. Or probably the cheesy photograph where the fan tries to look as big and intimidating as the fighter, but comes off looking like a dork. Hell, even Jose Aldo probably walks around at a heavier weight than I do (I'm 165-168).

I was a around Matt Hughes and Brian Foster about a week and a half ago and neither seemed much bigger than me and I'm not very big.

If Matt Hughes is 5'9 I must be 5'11(I'm 5'8).

 

[strikeselect]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

Lyoto Machida

 

[Chamber]

Georges has no flaws, silly.

 

[BigJonsson]

Joe Lauzon of course!

I have a picture with him at my work

 

[dream]

It's good to know that all of you would make excellent MMA journalists!

 

[yacobod]

do we have to gain 50-100 lbs and dress worse than the common man to complete the transition?

 

[TheKaeptain]

If you were an MMA journalist, who's the first fighter you would ask for an autograph?

No one.

 

[sazabirules]

Do places like Buffalo Wild Wings only show the main card? I want to know if I have to watch the Spike fights at home before going.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Brah I'm the only one allowed to take shots at Meltzer.

 

[TheKaeptain]

My local one shows the prelims.

 

[parrotbeak]

My local one shows the prelims.

The 2 places I've been going to show the prelims on Spike, although been to places that don't. Especially if it's a sports bar and there are other games on.

 

[op_ivy]

the best thing to do is to call and ask.

 

[Maklershed]

I'd be shitting myself if I were Nam Phan ...

[Chamber]

Man, Cowboy is such a douchebag. Put him in the cage with Bendo again so he can get silenced.

 

[sazabirules]

Cowboy is one of my favorites but it is lame he is trying defend his teammate who sucks. Let Garcia fight his own battles. Oh yeah he can't even win without horrible judging.

 

[Chamber]

He called out Cole Miller for beating Garcia too. They're a protective bunch over there at Jacksons.

 

[alr1ght]

"He said if our coaches were any good, they would have taught Leonard to throw down straight punches, but they don't know Leonard," Cerrone said. "You could teach Leonard anything, and as soon as he gets hit, he turns into that wild caveman, and that's just how he fights.

So, it's just Leonard that's a dumbass. Got it.

 

[BigJonsson]

Depends what the bar is showing at 8:00

I work at a bar with a ton of TVs so I make sure to put on the prelims, but since its hockey season, the Leafs game will be on the speakers and main TVs until the PPV starts......

But back when PPVs are at 10:00, the end of the prelims will be on audio once the Leafs are done

 

[Boogie]

Please, you wouldn't have gotten the chance.

If GSP was still on the card, the thread would have gone up four days ago.

 

[Chamber]

Feels good, man.

 

[smurfx]

Report: Viacom Purchases Bellator Fighting Championships

so viacom is making plans to replace strikeforce on showtime?

 

[TheKaeptain]

That knockout fucking scares me Everytime I see it.

I think the best way to troll 137 is to not do a thread for it at all at this point

137 is the beauty pageant and GAF is Nick Diaz.

 

[alr1ght]

UFC 137 |OT| Now Featuring An Actual Fight In The Main Event

 

[polyh3dron]

oh come on you know diaz would have brought the fight out of GSP. he doesn't exactly have a Dan Hardy guard or a Jake Shields striking deficiency.

 

[TheKaeptain]

It would have been Nate vs Rory part 2.
