I think cause he's an accomplished wrestler so he wanted some striking in a live match..

Rob 10-14-2008 10:59 PM

Chop it up to nerves and do better next time. :y:

Kris P Lettus 10-14-2008 11:02 PM

Reavant is like Tim off of TUF season 7.. He made that guy tap in like a minute and a half and was still super disappointed in himself.. Though Tim did not win in as dominant of fashion..

Reavant 10-14-2008 11:42 PM

haha idont want to sound like im complaining about a win but I kinda felt like I took the easy way out a little taking him down right away. But that was all after it happened though, when I was in possition 2 take the bear hug I took it instinctively. My whole game plan was to throw all my heavy combos and then if they werent as heavy as I thought, I would then take it down. I mean Im completely satified with the win, I just wanted to get the standing KO haha.

Rob 10-15-2008 12:18 AM

Yeah you took the easy way out you pussy :p

You should have made him tap out due to an ultimate wedgie.

Reavant 10-15-2008 12:43 AM

or.... DONKEY PUNCH

Fabien Barthez 10-15-2008 09:00 AM

Yeah, I don't see how you could have mounted, since half his flab was squashed against the cage. I thought you did really well to re-position him, since he was clearly just trying to block any damage and sit against the fence.

Believe me when I say I am trying to take nothing away from you, because you fought a sick fight, but it looked to me, when you were trying for position, you thought to yourself, this guy isn't even trying to attack, and thats when you started raining bombs, and again when you went to FM, you must have been thinking, this guy isn't even trying to guard that much.

It must be awesome to dominate like that in your first fight, against a guy who was pretty fucking big, but you must be eager for much stiffer competiton than him, right?

Reavant 10-15-2008 09:39 AM

yea i am

From MMAweekly

UFC 89: Bisping vs Leben / Press Conference

The press conference for UFC 89 had a very relaxed feel to it with minimal tension between the fighters and an air of calm that belies the nature of what the main protagonists will get up to on Saturday night. UFC U.K. president Marshall Zelaznik addressed the accumulated press with a mixture of pride and excitement ahead of Saturday’s event.

“This is the most Euro heavy fight card the UFC has ever put on and it really shows the commitment to the market expansion plans we have” he stated, before adding that the plans aren’t limited solely to England and that “Tickets go on sale tomorrow at the fight club for the January 17 event in Dublin”.

True to word previous statements on Euro expansion, Zelaznik added that in 2009, the promotion has strong chances of touching down in Italy, Germany and possibly Finland, as the Nordic country emerges as a front runner to host an event.

The showdown between tough Liverpudlian Paul Kelly and “The Irish Hand Grenande” Marcus Davis is as good a place as any to start with the respectful exchanges. “Kelly looks younger and stronger, but we will have to see… I have studied some tapes on him from my connections here in the U.K. and I am definitely prepared to put on a good show” commented Davis.

Kelly appeared content to let his fighting do the talking on Saturday and simply stated that “I am looking forward to another fight of the night” – and presumably the bonus it entails.

A very classy Brandon Vera addressed the crowd with nothing but respect for his opponent Keith Jardine, acknowledging the dangers of his opponent’s fighting style and also the prospect of a win being one step forward for the victor and three steps back for his opponent. “Keith is a very tough guy… and I am sure that we will find out a lot about each other during our fight until one of us get’s knocked out”.

Keith Jardine said the fight with Vera was something he couldn’t turn down and relished the opportunity “to take a bonus or two away from Marcus Davis” adding that styles make fights and that the encounter with Vera was a classic case of “Beauty versus the Beast”.

The main event fighters Chris Leben and Michael Bisping- who exchanged little in the way of glances up until the face-off at the end. Leben appeared to be calm and relaxed and gave a slight hint that he may not be solely banging with the Brit by commenting, “I don’t know if I will knock him out or submit him… but it will be an exciting fight”.

Bisping by contrast painted a picture of it being another day in the office. “I don’t have to fire myself up for this fight, winning fights provides me with the means to have the lifestyle I want for my family".

Lebans hair looks better like that than when he had all those greasy pubes on his head at the TUF reunion show..

RP 10-16-2008 05:16 PM

I hope Leben knocks this fuck out tbh. I hope Leben takes a brutal beating and then with like 1 minute to go, knocks him out.

Kris P Lettus 10-16-2008 05:23 PM

Lebans hair might be a tribute to Tanner from their time with Team Quest..

Kris P Lettus 10-16-2008 05:24 PM

I want Leban to win but my gut is telling me Bisping will take it..

It'll be a war either way..

Rob 10-16-2008 05:35 PM

I can't see a guy who lost convincingly to Kalib Starnes beating Michael Bisping to be honest. As long as Bisping doesn't take a monster clean shot, he should win this no problem.

Vastardikai 10-16-2008 07:20 PM

^

He also lost to J-Mac, who will never be a top guy but has the skills to have a victory over him mean something. MacDonald lost to Demien Maia in a match where I figured he would be beaten in the first round. He lost in the third to an RNC, after trading submissions with Maia for most of the fight.

Rob 10-16-2008 07:27 PM

I like MacDonald a lot and he impressed me greatly against Meia. Leben probably should have beaten him though but MacDonald is definitely proven to be a better fighter. I think him vs. Bisping is a better fight to be honest but they have lined up Bisping against enough jujitsu fighters and obviously want to test him against a striker.

Vastardikai 10-16-2008 07:55 PM

That would be a more realistic test for Bisping, as MacDonald is probably #3 in the list of Jujitsu guys at 185 (behind Meia and Silva). At the same time, I think beating a striker would be better for Bisping.

I am not sure if he'll be doing the next TUF (though he likely will), but Bisping could be one to two wins from being in the top tier at 185, especially if he beats Leben with the ease he beat Day and the other guy he beat into retirement.

Rob 10-17-2008 06:39 AM

I'm pretty excited for this show now. Heading off now. Probably won't make the weigh ins today but oh well.

Kris P Lettus 10-17-2008 01:51 PM

Quote:

Michael Bisping will be the UK team captain on season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter, UFC president Dana White has confirmed.

Speaking to Fighters Only at the UFC 89 weight-ins earlier, he said that Bisping would be the UK captain regardless of the result against Chris Leben tomorrow night.

“Win, lose or draw, he will coach the British team,” White revealed.

UFC matchmaker Joe Silva, standing nearby interjected: “Although if Bisping walks through Leben like he has his other opponents, that is going to be interesting.”

When then revealed that Bisping’s opposite number on TUF 9 will be either Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson.

“We’re looking for the right fight,” he said, explaining that the chosen coach would have to be a “step up” from Bisping’s previous opponents.

Asked if Henderson and Franklin were the two names on the shortlist, he confirmed: “That is who we are looking at.”

Franklin is a former UFC middleweight champion, while Henderson held both the middleweight and light-heavyweight belts in PRIDE FC.
Love to see Bisping vs Hendo..

There is no way Leben lost that fight "convincingly" I watched that fight and thought Leben won.

Fabien Barthez 10-18-2008 07:48 PM

Yeah, Turf was useless for the last hour. Justin.tv was the way to go.

Bisping was so quick, his footwork, his handspeed. World-class performance in my eyes. Leben only really had any control in the last 90 seconds of the 2nd.

Also, if Hendo is training Sokodou, I suggest they get Rich for Bisping and TUF. That boy is shit.

Danny Electric 10-18-2008 07:50 PM

Oh no! Somebody has posted some results! Of a UFC PPV! In the MMA THREAD!?! That is worthy of a neg rep!

You know, I would hate you so much more if you weren't so blaitantly stupid.


Anyway, MMA.

I keep reading Bisping getting a bad rap for saying he was fighting for the decision. What a pile of bullshit. I'm not the biggest Bisping fan ever, but an intelligent fighter won't stand infront of Chris Leben for the full 15 minutes, just waiting for his lucky punch. He is going to use his skills to work around it, whilst causing damage.

Bottom line, Bisping has got a Marquee value to protect, and standing in front of a wild swinger and getting knocked out would not have been productive towards putting food on the table. He fought a sound stratagy and in 6-12 months time, he is just going to be better.

Most impressive performance from the Count thus far, by a long haul.

I'm home now. Still kinda hungover from a late night.

I don't know how it came off on TV but I thought the main card kinda sucked. Main event saved it. Bisping fought the perfect fight against someone like Leben. Fuck anyone saying anything else. I thought Paul Taylor could beat Lytle going in but I thought he lost. Some others thought he won though. I thought Vera beat Jardine too. I gave him the first two rounds easily. Aside from the takedown in the first, he didn't do much. Vera did well on his back. What did Joe Rogan say when I booed Jardine in the interview? My section popped so I didn't hear it. I was half pished by then too.

Gono's entrance is the greatest thing I've ever seen in MMA. Shame his record sucks. Dan Hardy was very good too. I don't know what did and didn't air on TV though. Terry Etim was awesome too.

Ask me if other details are needed. I'm off to find something with sugar in it.

Broad Street. 3 or 4 bars there. Basically followed the tits. Kicked out of one place (Rococos?) for doing something a bit stupid. Also was "attacked" by some fat Welsh bird who tried wanking me off in the middle of the dance floor. Nutty cow.

Basically I was looking for ideas that wouldn't cost me a huge cab fare and nobody had any so we stayed near our hotel.

Yeah, Bisping had a good game plan I guess. Leben was out there to put on a show and Bisping was there to win the fight however he could. Not the most exciting of wins but it worked. Reminded me a bit of Tito/Machida.

Definitely a TV thing. UFC's sound department sucks. I've been to a ton of shows now where the crowd was fucking nuts and it came off like meh on TV.

Yep, looks like Elite is down. everyone saw it coming, but it really sucks for the sport not just that this company ever existed, but that they were on a National channel here that everyone gets. A lot of people might of had thier first experience with MMA through this promotion in America and this is what they see. what are these people more likely to read about or see on TV on in the coming days/weeks, the UFC PPV card for November's fight or CBS's Elite XC closing it's doors? it's ashame really.

Kris P Lettus 10-20-2008 11:29 PM

Quote:

ProElite, Inc., parent company of Elite Xtreme Combat, is throwing in the towel on mixed martial arts.

Several sources MMAWeekly.com spoke to said notifications had been sent out on Monday informing managers that the company was ceasing its fight promotion operations by the end of this week and it had begun the process of letting its employees go. One source even said that ProElite had already begun clearing out its corporate offices.

EliteXC’s remaining show scheduled for Nov. 8 in Reno, Nevada has been canceled. The card was due to be broadcast on Showtime networks, EliteXC’s original broadcast partner since the company’s formation in November of 2006.

Industry sources on Saturday informed MMAWeekly.com that ProElite made a last ditch effort to salvage its assets by selling off portions of the company, including fighter contracts and the satellite promotions it acquired in 2007.

The company had accrued over $55 million in debt in its twenty-four months of operations. Though its third CBS-televised offering, Oct. 4’s “Heat,” was looked at as a ratings success by EliteXC and CBS executives, the company's financial position had become untenable in recent months.

In an August SEC filing, EliteXC disclosed they were seeking 3.5 million dollars to fund operations through the end of the year. Only a month later, another SEC filing said they had received only $1 million in funding, provided by Showtime networks.

Elite CEO Chuck Champion last month told MMAWeekly.com that the Showtime loan came after two principal investors in the company had elected not to provide the $3.5 million "bridge financing."

An SEC filling dated Oct. 9 revealed that CBS had funded "Heat" due to ProElite's inability to pay for the show.

Multiple calls to EliteXC and Showtime representatives on Monday went unreturned, although EliteXC Vice President Jared Shaw told MMAWeekly.com on Saturday he had no comment on the matter.

Although EliteXC now is out of the picture, that doesn't necessarily mean that CBS and Showtime are out of the MMA business. Sources have indicated that, having worked with Affliction Entertainment to add Andrei Arlovski and Roy Nelson to the "Heat" event (both are Affliction fighters), there is now the distinct possibility that CBS may look towards a relationship with Affliction to fill the void left by EliteXC's exodus.
Supposedly, CBS is interested in a deal with UFC also.. Either Affliction or UFC would be better than EXC..

Reavant 10-20-2008 11:53 PM

Well when your promoter admits to trying to fix fights you deserve to go under
