I figured his record speaks for it self..

He's fighting that Hong Man Choi guy or whatever his name is. So does his record really mean much if he doesnt' fight anybody in the Top Ten?

Yeah, Muhamed Ali isn't planning on fighting any ranked fighters in the future, so he can't be one of the greatest of all time..

That makes sense..

we all knew his record, everyone can see it. Everyone says hes the best. i just figured you could add to the statement with something interesting like an interview or a video or really anything at all. I guess I was mistaken.

Just because your the best doesnt mean you have to fight number one contenders everytime. He slaughters everyone he faces. Even his decision victories were complete bowouts. The guy has fought the best guys that were available to him and killed them.

Sometimes you have to build up a ighter by giving him inferior opponents to sharpen their game. For example having Fedor fight an expert striker to see how he performs or to fight an expert grappler. The goal to sharpen their skills and make them a more complete fighter. If those opponents are too good at their area, chances are Fedor would be able to take the fight to the area that the oponent is at hi weakest like the ground for the striker or staying standing against a grappler.

Look at Wanderlei Silva's record. He faught a mixture of cans and tough competition his entire career which buit him up to the grea fighter he is now.

and before someone says "why woud he need to do that hes already the best blah blah"... theres always someone out there thats better or at the very least have what it takes to beat the top dog and you need to constantly sharpen and refine your game so that you are ready for opponents like that.

I didn't really want to get into a "Why Fedor is considered one of the best" discussions but OK.. I was just letting Ant know who he was.. Anyway, every fight I've ever seen of his has been super exciting.. I think the fact that he doesn't look dominant yet is intrigues me.. Like, he looks like a normal guy with a little beer gut and all but is a beast in the ring.. I don't think I've ever seen him gas.. He has amazing composure even when he is seemingly "losing" (he never seems to freak out when bloody or in a bad ground position).. He has crazy ground control and agility for a bigger guy.. And he is one of the best strikers and has quick hands for any weightclass but specially for heavyweight..

I think him vs Couture will be great but I think Fedor will take it, specially if they stayed on their feet..

there ya go :D

Floyd Mayweather thinking about getting into Mark Cuban's MMA promotion

Floyd Mayweather is a piece of shit..

id love to see him in mma...



























































maybe then he would shut up

Just stumbled across this:

http://www.mmarocks.pl/wp-content/up..._83udfslf3.JPG

Mayweather wouldn't last 2 minutes in a MMA fight.

hes just doing it for leverage in getting more money in another fight. hes not going to fight in mma.

Kripsy's comment on how Fedor is a normal looking dude who kicks as is pretty bang on.

I do think right now Couture takes it though. He just seems to be in the right frame of mind.

Fedor came in at the top level at the time and got better as the sport began to develop. Randy came in as a great wrestler that was good but not the best and has rose exponentially to the point he is now.

A few months.

His training is pure madness

I respect him as a fighter, but I hate how he has a gang of faggots who run out a massage his greasy body after every fight..

lol that was chute box

on an unrelated note..... this is the funniest shit ive ever seen!

LOL

I hate his big slow ass too..

Cmon GSP & Cmon THE ICEMAN !!! :y:

That's my two big picks as well.

As much as I love the Iceman, I'm afraid he's on a decline and that Silva, in his first UFC fight in 7 years, is going to take this one by TKO.

werd

Does that really matter??

It's arguable but it could be said he was fighting better fighters in Pride than he would have been in UFC.. (which I believe)

I mean in those seven years he was fighting the likes of Dangerous Dan Henderson, Sakuraba, Rampage, Guy Mezger, Mark Hunt, Fajita, Cro Cop, etc etc etc..

Other than Couture, Tito, and Liddell what "big money" match has he missed out on??

I got GSP and Wand

It matters because every Pride star has failed in the UFC since the buy out. Also because he was allowed to take whatever drugs he wanted to in Japan and can't in the States. He had great competition in Pride but also had his share of cans.

Also - Fajita made me laugh.

Yea but a lot of Liddel's matches were way of 2 win rematches. Most coming off of KOs the first time. He knocked out randy, tito, and babalu in that fasion and thats all in 25 fights. Other than Sakuraba and Rampage, Wanderlei faught different people every fight with barely any 2 win rematches for 39 fights. Its hard to keep a successful streak like he had fighting all different kinds of opponents and fighting styles without getting caught a couple of times.

I like Fajita.. He made Shamrock submit by allowing Ken to punch him in the head until he was gassed..

I just found out I'm prolly not watching the PPV tonight..

:(

Fujita?

Yes..

In 2000 at Pride 10.. I just saw it on the FSN Pride show a few years back..

Shamrock gave him everything he had and I believe late in the second round (with the Pride 10 minute first), Shamrock was completely gassed and Fujita just kept coming and Shamrocks corner threw in the towel..

Is there usually a UFC PPV thread during the event? I don't think I've ever been on here for one before.

No..

This is the all purpose MMA thread so 95% of all MMA discussion happens in here.. Even TUF discussion..

I wanted us to have an entire forum..

:(

Does anyone know a site that does good play by play for PPV's??

Myspace forums.. :shifty:

Or mma weekly updates after each fight i think

Did you ask if I knew a site streaming the show? :shifty:

I did in my thread bitching about not being able to watch it in casual..

Please??

PM me

No :shifty:

I'm fuckin pumped..watchin the football game , gettin ready for the fights to start..does it get any better for a guy? Oh yea just some strippers.

Strippers this way please.

You know, someone should PM me this streaming site that doesn't exist too.

It's not working..

:(

Soku got fucking humbled!

So did that retard Melvin earlier and Clementi just became my favourite fighter with his celebrations.

Sanchez got a 3rd round KO. Boring ass shit.

Liddell dominates round 1. Silva gets better of first 3mins of 2nd but Liddell back super strong. Close round. 3rd is all Liddell standing and Silva looks like shit. I have it 30-28 to Liddell.

It's 29-28, 30-27 twice for Liddell.

GSP vs. Hughes.

Round 1 - Hughes comes out fighting southpaw to get better chance at the takedown. Doesn't work. GSP blocks takedown, gets his own, batters Hughes against the cage in his guard and eventually moves to full mount and nearly hits a rolling arm bar to win but the round ends. 10-9 GSP.

GSP wins late second round arm bar, Fucking well tight. TOTAL domination. Up until then it was much of the same of the first. GSP took him down at will, dominated the ground, took whatever position he wanted and then nearly ripped his arm off his body.

GSP does a spinarooni celebration!

GSP also just threw down the interim title and says Serra is the real champion. Total class.

They are showing Gamburyan vs. Moor now. Manny wins in 90 seconds so I'm off to bed. It will be on UFC.com in a bit anyway with the rest of the prelims.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fuck, all my fav pride guys are, or are beginning to become washed up.

Hughes :(

(Yeah fuck you guys, I'm sad he lost. :( I like GSP but have been a Hughes fan forever.)

Random Nemesis Crap:

* Clementi busted out a Full Nelson with a Body Scissors. and the hatred was awesome. Fuck Melvin, btw.
* Sokudouju = ANOTHER Pride flop. Or, Machida fucked him up.
* Palelei vs. Sanchez was a piece of shit. Me and my buddy tapped watching that fight.
* Liddell vs. Vanderlei was epic. Chuck won decisively, but he busted out takedowns, which was a shock. We forgot about the snore-fest before.
* GSP > You. My arm hurt.
* Manny probably broke Mohr's leg. And he felt bad about it. Owww...
* Lines of the Night: "Have you ever heard of training Jiu Jitsu, Melvin?" -Clementi & "Tap Tap TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!" -Hughes.

lol I didn't know they had I quit matches in the UFC. Hughes couldn't tap so he had to scream it out..awesome.

Hughes is a retarded redneck piece of shit..

He could have tapped. He just verbally quit.

Hughes was beat like a child.... And fuckin Wanderlei. He didnt look aggressive at all and he let chuck stand up from the ground twice. He never does that. Maybe the motivation isnt there for him anymore now that hes not fighting to keep food on his plate anymore.

It's cool as fuck that Zuffa puts them online..

guillard vs clementi

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=24982360

I dunno he looked okay in the second round and looked well up for the fight before. He isn't in his comfort zone anymore.

Man Wanderlei has a fucking chin. I thought a couple times that he was going to go the way of Tito and get pounded out in the cage.

Also GSP had his way with Hughes, 9 minutes of imposing his will.

well yea he def. looked uncomfortable but the only time he opened up and swung was when he was getting rocked against the cage. He used to just throw and throw and throw without stopping before. Maybe he should have had someone else as his first opponent. People can say hes not on roids or whatever but he could have been on everything possible and he still would have lost that fight because he didnt do anything.

Wanderlei Silva's "Comfort Zone" is another man's anus, for the record..

You can tell him that.

:nono:

George Rushhhhhhhhhhh St Pierre

Affliction tee in the post :)

I love GSP.

Who doesn't?

I'm still taking Serra for the upset though :D

GSP is a fag.

1 - You'd get whooped by the fag.

2 - He is banging Rachelle Leah.

who's she?

So say Serra was out for another 6 months, would GSP have to defend the interim title he threw down?

Wow.....just makes GSP even more of the man

GSP is a huge fag. I would beat the piss out of him.

LOL Spilchuk

What..GSP is banging Leah? Burkman was bangin Arianny for awhile,maybe still. I liked the blonde one ..she likes to get banged

I am going to go to the next PPV and call out GSP. I am sick of his lies.

What??

Party round that guys house!

he was in jamaca over new years but hes in bellarus right now because his grandma died. He was told that they were trying to get him in the febuary or march cards against kongo or cro cop, but he doesnt know if his contract has been sealed up yet.

Ok..Brock Lesnar needs to come out to his wwe theme music..that'd kick ass

if i dont see at least the attempt at an F-5 ima be a little pissed

About 5 seconds, after I posted my thing, I heard from a very reliable source that whether his contract gets signed or not, he is fighting Cro Cop in London in March.

Scrap that last post, they are fighting in Manchester in March.

i havnt seen him since b4 new years so ii couldnt tell ya if its true or not. If it is, i hope he beats the shit out of him so he has some leverage to bargain.

Are they fighting at 205 or heavyweight??
