injury, and TUF10 is turning out to be the first season in awhile that I'm pretty excited for in advance. Rumored participants are Robert Drysdale and a few other big names. Regardless, I'll be tuning in to see how Kimbo does!
-
Miguel Torres, Andrei Arlovski, and Fedor
Monson is pretty tight too
-
I'm stoked for Omigawa. He looks much better at this weight! Hope he takes it!
-
UK should wreck shop this season.
Andre Winner and Ross Pearson look beastly.
-
Now that WEC and Sengoku have their own threads, I thought I'd start a proper one for Dream.
I know Dream 7 was pretty lame. If it wasn't for the Hello Japan incident it would have been really dull. But Dream 8 looks more promising.
Shinya Aoki is promising to usher in a new era of Japanese MMA on Sunday. Big words, I hope he can live up to them! I'm sure FEG is hoping the same after their last event.
aoki got wrecked.
and this was one of the best cards in a long time. I think Galvalo has a promising future.
and the guy coming out dressed as Akuma was awesome, along with the rest of that fight.
-
who you guys got winning the Sengoku FW GP?
I'm pulling for Omigawa.
-
seriously that guy is retarted.
Aoki is one of the best grapplers in MMA, and he thinks he can get away with pulling that shit.
but yeah, after the fight, when he just sits there and fiddles with his gloves...
-
I still think it's illegal...
hahah but is your av a picture of you using the rubber guard? If so, props!
-
maybe i'm alone in this, but a part of me enjoyed seeing Koscheck getting KO'd just a little bit. he was out, and i can't believe he has the nerve to say it was stopped early. the ref saved his ass from getting his face smashed in.
Demian Maia was very impressive in his first match against a top 10 opponent. as much as anyone else in the division, he deserves a title shot, though i think they will give him one more fight before he goes against Anderson Silva.
there was much more fights in this free event than most PPV's, because most ending early by KO or submission. they showed 9 fights, only one went to decision. and even that decision was not boring, it was very action packed thru all 3 rds. overall, a great night of fights, better than some events that you have to pay for.
you're not alone. I hate Koscheck haha and that stoppage was not at all early.
I don't know if I'd call Chael top 10, but he handled him very well. That transition was beautiful.
-
I think Diego will wreck Joe. Joe has seemed more of a gatekeeper as of late.
and while I'm interested in Sonnen Maia, I think Maia will plow through him too.
I also wanna see how Brian Cobb handles his first fight in a big show, and see if Dos Santos is more than hype.
-
hahah well if he can handle Saku's groundgame, I think he can take Lawler's. And if he KO'd Mark Hunt, KOing Lawler should be child's play.

OHJESUS!

MANHOEF BY SLAUGHTER!

I believe it is a 3 strike and your out rule in the UFC. Three losses in a row and your gone.
here is to hoping you are right.
I'm fairly sure that it's all part of their individual contracts, although I'm quite sure the UFC will try to hold on to their precious "Ultimate Fighters"
-
so who's everyone got as pound for pound best now?
I still got Fedor. he's a beast.
-
wow. I was VERY disappointed with the main event. My favorite fight was definitely the Jon Jones fight. He's got a bright future.
lemmi guess, penn fan? lol ..... gsp owned, you're just grumpy about that haha .... i thought it was great (yes gsp fan) i liked watching him slowly wear him out, then get those shots that penn just wasn't expecting, after that, it all fell apart for the guy. i actually felt a little bad for the guy. after the 3rd round i bet he was crying lol
I like them both, but I just expected more outta Penn. I'm always disappointed when title fights are one sided beatdowns. But good for GSP.

I agree. Miguel Torres vs Yoshihiro Maeda was AMAZING
-
I was surprised that one judge ruled in the Cowboy's favor...
-
The knee was illegal...

-
I'm picking Penn cos I feel the only reason he lost the last fight against GSP is because he gassed.
seeing as he is training correctly now, I feel he should dominate.
-
that KO was insane...
plus the Belfort KO and Babalu's D'arce choke
all around solid event.
hahahah Yvel vs Barnett seemed to last FOREVER though.
-
Sylvia Vs. Lesnar?
first of all I don't see Sylvia back in the UFC, and second of all, I think Lesnar would out muscle him for the takedown and ground n pound his face into mince meat...
-
Lesnar's definitely good, but beating a 40-some year old man who is about 60 lbs lighter with the exact same skill set as you isn't exactly remarkable.
I would say his biggest challenge currently is facing a big submission fighter (ala frank mir)
His trainers say his BJJ is coming along very quickly, but to some extent, mat experience can't replace natural talent.
that being said, I still think Lesnar will run over mir...
-
well as you all know by now, the above event was postponed. it seems to be back on track and scheduled for Jan 24th.

Matt Lindland vs Vitor Belfort
Josh Barnett vs Gilber Yvel
Vladimir Matyushenko vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Fedor Emilianenko vs Andrei Arlovski
normally the odds would be heavlily against anyone fighting Fedor. i would say his is still the favorite, but with Fedor's recent loss in World Combat Sambo Championship, his fight against Andrei Arlovski just got a bit more interesting.
while I do agree that it is interesting, I don't think a sambo loss will affect the odds of an MMA match at all...

I'd say early favorite is probably Big Country
