I don't think any of you truly understand how thoroughly excited about this fight I am.

Reavant 09-03-2008 12:03 AM

Its not for the title though is it?

Innovator 09-03-2008 12:10 AM

5 round title fight

Winner fights the winner of the Mur/Nog fight

Couture is not in a good position though.. If he beats Lesnar, people will just say he that much better than Lesnar right now, and it doesn't really add to his "legend".. At the same time this kills what potentially will be one of the best heavyweight of all time..

I dunno, I'm hype about this fight, I just hope it does good, not hurt the "revamped" HW division..

Rob 09-03-2008 07:12 PM

Couture needs to eat some humble pie though. He has been totally unprofessional through out this time.

and here I was thinking that I was out of my mind for having such a thought...

I seemed to spark a war of words when I said pretty much the exact same thing in the wrestling forum

Kris P Lettus 09-03-2008 11:04 PM

Fuck sake LC, as I said in that thread, I was talking to Xero more than anyone..

fuck

Loose Cannon 09-03-2008 11:16 PM

no, I'm not directly talking about you. I'm just saying that I found it funny to what the thread became.

Kris P Lettus 09-03-2008 11:21 PM

Well, at first it came across as wrestling fans "LOLing" at the idea that Brock is getting pushed this early.. While it is questionable, that is how the fight game works..

They were acting like this "exposed" something about MMA when most true fans know that this type of shit happens all the time..

Like BJ Penn is gonna get a shot at the Welterweight title when he hasn't fought in that weight class for awhile and lost 2 of his last three fights at welterweight..

(someone tell me if I'm wrong)

Shit happens cause Penn vs GSP is gonna put asses in the seats just like Couture/Lesnar..

Kurt Angle Still Interested In Doing At Least One MMA Fight

Setana Sports has spoken to Eric Hibler who is one of the trainers at the Pittsburgh Fight Club in Angle's hometown in Pittsburgh PA and he tells Setana that Kurt has been training and would like to have at least one MMA Fight before he is unable to:

“Kurt is an international superstar with a very busy schedule. When Kurt is in town he does train here,” Hibler revealed.

“He's very low profile and easy to talk to. Everyone likes him and he's the man when it comes to fired-up hard workouts.”

“Kurt is an amazing open-minded individual and his ability to focus on a task is world class, no matter what we are working on. However, MMA even though it relates, is very different from wrestling.

“Kurt must relearn strategy and tactics for better game play with real fighting. On the other hand, Kurt is a trainer’s dream. He was born to train and compete.

“For now, his wrestling gives him excellent penetration ability for takedown transitions and a strong ground sense to help his positioning for ground-and-pound and submission set-ups.”

“Kurt's planning to participate in at least one MMA fight when he gets the right offer.

“To date he has not signed with any fight promotion.”

Shit..

Also, WTF is this??

LOL

Rob 09-04-2008 01:18 AM

Angle has a hell of a headbutt.

Kris P Lettus 09-04-2008 01:42 PM

Sylvia says he'll help train Couture for Lesnar..

Quote:

What are your thoughts on Brock?

He's a beast. It's one of those things every four years or so we get a really good monster wrestler like Mark Coleman or Dan Severn. When Dan Severn first came along he was unstoppable. That's what Brock Lesnar is. He is an amazing athlete, amazing wrestler and he's huge. Now's the time to fight him while he's still learning.


Did you work out with him?

He came up for a couple of weeks. I had my elbow taken care of so I didn't get to work out with him but some of the guys did.

Who is your pick for the Randy Couture Brock Lesnar fight?

Randy always rises to the occasion. I would never bet against Randy. I want Randy to win.


You guys are friends aren't you?

Oh yeah, I actually texted him earlier and told him I'd come out there and help him if he needed me to.

Rob 09-04-2008 05:19 PM

Why the hell would Couture need Sylvia for anything other than a human punching bag?

Crimson 09-04-2008 07:31 PM

lol..yea right, as if Sylvia can mirror Lesnar's power and speed .

Kris P Lettus 09-04-2008 11:02 PM

He is big..

Impact! 09-05-2008 12:16 PM

So um Rampage V Wanderlei? Any truth to this rumour?

Kris P Lettus 09-05-2008 01:03 PM

Haven't heard that yet..

I did just read a wrestling forum poster saying that the Undertaker would do fine in MMA since he's the toughest guy in the WWE locker room..

LOL

Rob 09-05-2008 05:10 PM

Thiago Silva has pulled out of his fight with Lyoto Machida in England next month. Meant to be injured.

Karo Parysian is also out of his fight tomorrow night injured. I least I don't have to watch his boring ass now.

Can't say I"m terribly disappointed. I hope they don't find anybody for Machida to fight. Hate watching him.

Rob 09-06-2008 01:36 PM

You ain't the only one. I heard there is a strong chance that if Dan Henderson gets through tonight injury free that he will be fighting Machida instead.

Kris P Lettus 09-06-2008 04:52 PM

My site MMAturf.net is doing streams of the fights tonight, FYI..

We need more posters..

:o

Dangerous Dan is gonna push Machida's shit in..

Rob 09-06-2008 06:45 PM

UFC is on Setanta Sports in the UK now so I get the shows for free. I doubt I'll stay up anyway. Looks like a DVR job.

Fabien Barthez 09-06-2008 08:50 PM

Jesus. You miss a few days of following MMA news and crazy things go on!

Lesnar is going to give Couture a bad time I think, but I'll never bet against Randy. How the fuck can you?

Fabien Barthez 09-06-2008 10:21 PM

krisp, that stream is shit.

Anybody got a good one?

Kris P Lettus 09-06-2008 11:59 PM

Oh yeah, I was working with this dude is is a local pro MMA fighter.. He fight for Gracie South and has been to all kinds on MMA events and was even in a few fights sponcered by UFC..

Anyway, he got a text alittle while ago, while we were at work saying that Couture is gonna fight Fedor.. I haven't gone to look yet, but is there any truth to this??

Danny Electric 09-07-2008 12:27 AM

wow

Fabien Barthez 09-07-2008 12:34 AM

Oh my god. I thought Chuck was dead. Sickest knockout ever. Rashad was winning the round as well. Insane.

Why would they sign that BEFORE he fights Brock? Asshole.

Rob 09-07-2008 12:46 AM

Fedor has 2 fights left on his Affliction deal. Until those fights happen or the company goes under, he is in no legal position to fight for the UFC.

Chuck Liddell's career is over now. That KO was brutal.

Damn..

Gonna go watch the fight now..

RIP Chuck

:(

McLegend 09-07-2008 01:14 AM

That was fuckin awsome.

He got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!!

Damn...

Kris P Lettus 09-07-2008 01:14 AM

Not up yet..

:(

Kris P Lettus 09-07-2008 01:15 AM

What round??

Could someone give me a breakdown of the fight??

Also, did Henderson win??

Rob 09-07-2008 01:17 AM

Apparently he is still on oxygen now.

So weird too because aside from Kalib Starnes, I've never seen a fighter run more than Evans so much in a fight.

Rich Franklin might have a chance at 205lbs if Evans is knocking out guys. Only problem here is that Anderson Silva is there too. Oh well, nevermind eh!

McLegend 09-07-2008 01:18 AM

Chuck got cut in the first round, but not much action took place. Chuck might even have won the 1st round.

Then Chuck was trying to throw in upper cut in the 2nd round. The thing is though he is old and slow, and left himself wide open for a devastating overhand right :lol:
