Frankie threw Henderson around. Strength didn't seem to be the problem. Henderson is just a more dynamic and athletic fighter. And Frankie got careless when Henderson got him with the up kick. Henderson was on his ass kicking up because Frankie put him there.

He threw him around round 1 and 2, in 3-5, after hendersons weight started to take a toll on frankie, he couldn't do it anymore. Dealing with a bigger guy for 5 rounds wore him out, which wouldnt have happened with a guy his size. And alot of the fight you could see the size and the power just wear Frankie out. It was like he was fighting a welterweight.

The word damage is not in the judging criteria at all.

Isnt that the entire point of a fight? Who can inflict the most damage to the other person? In the real world.

Matt Hume deserves props for turning chicken shit into chicken salad time and time again. Hall of famer for sure.

I want to note I was laughed at for referring to Tim Boetsch as a "future top tenner".

It was still pretty lulzworthy for the first 2 rounds.

 

[ShaneB]

Tied for 3rd. Not bad.

Haha well I still picked against him, but Boetsch is an ox and knew Okami wasn't going to wrestlefuck him. He had a puncher's chance from there. Didn't account for Okami's handspeed, though. He was schooling him.

Through master Hume all things are possible.

I doubt he'll be the favorite but it's possible. I don't see Okami's style being very effective against Boetsch. He's a monster at middleweight.

Her tweet for it was pretty funny. "Let me introduce my partner..."

The bad thing about Hume being a trainer last night though was that he couldn't be a judge.

 

[polyh3dron]

well MMAGaf that was a fuckawesome card last night, it lived up to the hype.

get ready for next week where we have mms events on friday AND saturday. we'll get to see some great flyweights in action as well as an entertaining scrap between alves and kampmann on friday, and then on saturday we get to see if strikeforce can put on a good card with its new showtime deal, because the last one sucked balls.

 

[MyAbsolution]

frankie's baby leg kicks = conduit's baby leg kicks

heh... that also kinda ran through my mind.

But more-so during the fight I was comparing Bendo leg kicks to Frankie leg kicks. A tree trunk slamming the body of Edgar, compared to a tree twig whiplashing Bendo.

I love Frankie but ... ya.

Where do you go to see standings for individual shows?

 

[polyh3dron]

I think heel is manually tallying the scores

 

[Brian Fellows]

Ahhhhh. I ended up with 650 for this one.

Ahhhhh. I ended up with 650 for this one.

Yeah, just adding them up until they add event leaderboards. Why aren't you in our pool? I think yacobud added the details in the MMA OP...

 

[BigJonsson]

Wow, what a card

How did Bader not break his arm on that slam?
Not sure who had the better music - Sexyama, Rampage or Bader?
Not happy about Pettis destroying Lauzon
Boetsch, holy shit what a comeback and those uppercuts were nifty
Hunt needs to get excited
Hioki looks really good
Japanese translator and her pencil were funny

 

[parrotbeak]

Who else has come out to the Pride theme besides Crocop in his lackluster UFC debut?

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Stun Gun Kim came out to it, during UFC 125 and 132.

Which I don't get why since he never fought in Pride.

 

[Norml]

Wow, what a card

How did Bader not break his arm on that slam?

lucky he didn't get his neck snapped too.

 

[TheKaeptain]

If Rampage still trained wrestling he would still a beast.

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

[TheKaeptain]

These dudes do a lot of stuff in the heat of a fight that you're trained not to do.

 

[yacobod]

If Rampage still trained.

maybe we start small first...

 

[TheKaeptain]

maybe we start small first...

I guess you can say training with Brits is the same thing...

 

[Plywood]

I was disappointed by how Rampage didn't capitalize on the slam.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

If Rampage still trained wrestling he would still a beast.

Training wrestling was how he got hurt before this fight.

 

[DKehoe]

Mark Hunt title shot. Now.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Training wrestling was how he got hurt before this fight.

I meant with more inept people than the guys at wolfwhatever.

 

[JimiNutz]

He talked to Ariel backstage on the Fuel aftershow. He was really sad. Said he had hurt his knee in wrestling training, and couldn't do much training, but wanted to go out there and thought he could honestly win anyway...he was wrong, no excuses.

Poor Rampage
I was so excited when he slammed Bader and was hoping it would gain him some momentum but for most of the fight he looked old and tired. If he did indeed hurt his knee in training then I suppose that explains it, but im not convinced that we'll ever see him looking especially good in the UFC again.
Would like to see him fight Shogun next. That could be a fun fight.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm sure it has just as much to do with the fact that he's over the hill as much as a bum knee. Rampage is a gatekeeper now.

 

[Bossun]

Damn I don't want to see rampage get old.

He was so awesome. And he's so funny.

Edit : he does seem very nostalgic of PRIDE and Japan
