Mixed Martial Arts

Hey now, don't come and insult us.

Tuf was pretty good tonight.
I hope Big Country wins, side note he holds a grappling victory of him.

He is, but he has been getting progressively tougher opponents.
Belcher, Leben, Bisping, Marquardt(Scrapped due to equakes) and now belfort

 

Most people will get weaker opponents, instead hes getting harder and harder ones as Pokerking said. thats like the opposite of every other fighter.

 

Its fine, if he loses to Vitor I assume he will get a title shot.
Sucks that the main event is now Rampage-Hamill.
That just doesn't get me super excited, even though I am watching it for free anyway

 

Yes, and they'll give him FoTN again. If he wins he'll probably be moved down. I think Sexyama rolls the other way xD.

I think they need to add one more big fight in it. might as well move Guida vs Pettis up.

 

Featherweight bout: Yves Jabouin vs. Pablo Garza

Lol I am a big Pablo fan, and I actually was at the bar taking shots with him on Saturday night he's a really cool guy. I've met him before but this time we were talking for like 20min and he's gonna keep winning I think first fight he got knockout of the night and this one he got submission with his flying triangle of the night $100k. His FB made me lol today "Dana White give me my money"

 

I was thinking that too, but they originally was going to move Pettis to Maynard before he got injured.
I still think Henderson will beat Pettis in a rematch.

 

I swear I've seen Silva's legs wobble before but he didn't actually go down, he managed to regain composure fairly quickly. I would also like to see Big Country win

 

Lets just say They both put up damn good fights. I just want something other than Maynard or Edgar -_-

 

Ufc wants him to win a big fight so they can market him a little more, no surprise there.

 

Nope, I am 99% sure he hasn't. And To that.

Do you not like them?

True, but if he goes on a 4 fight losing streak b/c of that he will be Dan Hardy

 

im ok with Maynard and i dislike Edgar. But if you put them together, i do not like them.

 

wait do you dislike them as a person or as a fighter? because you still havn't mentioned why you dislike them (im guessing because of their wrestling backround)

and could you explain why you didn't like the 2nd fight?

EDIT: ariel is about to make a big announcement in about 15min wonder what it is?

EDIT2: Carwin vs jds is now on.. brock got injured somehow... roy nelson predicted brock would get hurt before the tuf season even aired, scary right.

EDIT3: Last edit.. why aint no one posting? anyways found link on roy predicting this would happen http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/uf...ck-lesnar-done-expects-him-leave-tuf-1512795/

 

Why no like Edgar?

I wasn't posting b/c I wasn't on. I can't get on every second and check to see if someone posted.
Brock had his diverticulitis flare up. That is what caused him to miss 8 months originally, and that is bad, so that isn't a "Fluke" injury, considering he already had this.

 

I dislike Edgar's style and i dislike him because i think hes a bit too cocky. He thinks hes the second coming of Jesus.

The second fight i felt coulda been finished. I knew it was going to be a decision, but i felt like the beatings were there to just tease you. Someones going to get TKOOO'd!! NOT.

Carwin vs JDS, looks like Brock didnt want to get KO'd by JDS .

 

He isn't as cocky as say, Jon Jones.
Brock had diverticulitis flare up again. It is terrible. That is a better fight imo though.

 

Jones deserves to be cocky finishing his fights. Edgar goes 5 rounds doing shit.

And i have a feeling Carwins not gonna want to box with JDS, and he will happily try and utilize his wrestling.

 

No he doesn't. He beat an out of shape Rua. His only good win. Jones has all the potential in the world, but if he finishes winner of Rashad/Davis I wills be impressed
Carwin has more power than JDS, plus JDS chin hasn't been really tested. That being said Carwin's chin isn't that great. JDS Rd 2 Tko

 

He flung Bonnar around like a little girl, that was pretty impressive. Especially that lateral throw, Bonnar's arms looked crushed.

I'd like to see Davis's chin around, thats all.

Next Carwin DOES have more power than JDS yes. On sports Science Cain somehow has more power than Rampage, which is complete bullshit. In fact the last Sports Science i saw, GsP had more power than Rampage. he hit a 2k+ as well. And GsP couldnt finish any of his fights with that type of KO power?.

So i dunno about Cains power, i do know that Brocks too sensitive to punchs and got TKO'd cause Cain picked his shots unlike Carwin. Woulda been lights out for Brock if Carwin was a bit more patient.

Next, JDS's chin has been tested. If you actually watch his fights, his style is. Eat a shot and throw a shot. Big Country nailed JDS plenty of times and JDS didnt even wobble. And Big Country has KO power. Also hes pretty confident about his chin. Look at the fights with Gilbert Yvel, Cro Cop, Werdum and Gonzaga, he inst afraid to eat their shots if he has to.

He had Cro Cop backpedaling, Werdum backpedaling, Gilbert Yvel backpadeling, Stefan Struve backpedaling. He rushes forward like a monster and fights with the best technical boxing i've seen in the UFC.

Carwins going to be in trouble, he did get struck by a poor striker like Gonzaga and went down. If kept standing JDS would pick him apart and JDS just has the perfect amount of power and speed. The combos he landed on Roy were sheer perfection. Plus if you saw the fight with Roy Nelson, Roy gave up all chances of counter striking JDS(smart move to survive). Just look at how Roy Nelson was blocking, he started blocking by putting both arms up to completely block any shots thrown from JDS and you cant counterstrike when your arms are like that. Roy was just looking to survive and hopefully get that .01% chance he manages to land a big right that JDS will see coming a mile away.

JDS rd 2 TKO as well.

 

Don't listen to that BS stuff from sports science. GSP according to that has the most power in his strikes and kicks. Lol really? Barboza would rape him in a K1 fight.
That being said, Gonzaga is a good striker, he has arguably the best head kick in the history of the UFC. (Most Memorable)
JDS, his chin hasn't been tested by the power of a guy like Carwin. His KO highlight reel is very nice.
Rampage has more power than every hw except Brock, JDS, Carwin pretty much thats it.

 

However the same goes the other way for Carwin. Can Carwin survive an onslaught from JDS?.

If it was Carwin VS Cain, I'd pick Carwin.
