I guess their trying to hype up rashad now. Its good to see them have Heath Herring fight. He'll add some depth to the HW, like a Buntello (sp) they let go.

Posted by: BoneCrusher

He has a shot vs Silvia ... interesting heavy weight line up starting to develop

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Shit it's free I'm happy about that. I hope Rashad loses, I never really enjoy watchin him fight.

I second that. Snooze fest.

Posted by: MCx2

His last fight wasn't so boring. I think he gets better every time I see him. I can't wait to see him in there against one of the top dogs, could be interesting.

Posted by: BoneCrusher

Rashad is a reactive fighter ... mostly. Makes him boring to watch. He has the potential to be in the top of the rankings, but he'd have to actually fight to do that.

Which is basically the major malfunction of the UFC as a whole. Tim Silvia is the same way, his gameplan is not to win, but to not lose.

These next few months will be a shock for the uninformed MMA fan. Rampage and Cro-Cop have entered the building!!

Posted by: Doublebase

Bump for tomorrow night.

Posted by: ponyboy

Why does Ross Pointon continue to fight? He's a walking punching bag. That record is an embarassment.

Posted by: goandykid

I hope Ed Herman wins. I'm gonna miss this one for a coaches meeting.

Posted by: BoneCrusher

THese TV events are pretty low budget ... but better than nothing. I think some of these guys started their journey into MMA with an "I'll work for food" sign on a busy street corner.

That was Heath Herring. I'd do the same thing.

Great clip. You can catch what Herring says afterwards too to an extent.

"It wasnt me. He tried to kiss me on the lips like a homosexual. I'm not gay.

I like Herring b/c of this, but I've never seen him fight. Any background stories?

And yes, most of us wouldve done the same thing. Weird though, even right after the kiss he diudnt look super pissed, just a little aggravated, and the punch didnt look that forceful?

Punches do a lot more damage when you're not ready for it. When you know a punch is coming you brace for it. That poor dude got caught right on the button.

Impressive first round by Franca. He looks like he's out to prove something.

Posted by: NordicNacho

on the west coast it doesn't start till 7

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Franca's got that same striking style as Parysian. Throws bombs and keeps his hands down, but somehow manages to land more than not and avoids being hit himself. Sweet KO to start the night off.

Posted by: bigss75

Heath's looking kinda sloppy

Posted by: bigss75

horrible, just horrible. I've seen better sprawls from 8 year old wrestlers .

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Yeah seriously. If O'Brien knew Herring's defense was that poor, he would've trained to end him quick. He had numerous opportunities.

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Damn man that kick will Crop-Cop's a run for it's money. I guess I retract my statement about Rashad being completely boring.

Posted by: the nut

OMG, that was a Cro Cop style kick.

Posted by: Doublebase

I was liking Salmon.

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Hope the dude is ok. He wasn't lookin too good after that.

Posted by: drew

I was expecting a lot more out of Heath Herring. O'Brien had a lot of opportunities to finish the fight, but wtv, he's only 22 years old, he has a lot of time to improve. I give him mad props for beating Heath with only 3 years of training.

I hope Salmon is okay too. He is a solid fighter.

Posted by: bigss75

Herring was a complete failure un the ufc. IVE SEEN ALOT OF HIS FIGHTS AND THAT HAD TO BE THE WORST. Its like her trained for k1 his whole life.

Yeah that first jumping snap kick was sweet. Can someone please cut that down and post it.

Posted by: Pedigree

One of the retarded judges scored the Herring/O'Brien fight 29-28. Are you kidding me? The other two must have been awake and actually watched the fight. They had it 30-27. Some of these judges are freakin' ridiculous!

The Evans kick to the head was awesome!

Posted by: ponyboy

Thought Ed Herman did well too - that submission from a choke into an armbar was really well executed. Even though he was getting killed he still managed to pull it off.

I wasn't impressed with Herring's whiney little biatch attitude after the fight. "I didn't come here for no rasslin' match".

You got dominated dude...man up and admit it. O'Brien should have waylayed that big fat biatch with viscious elbows when he had him on the grund. He was too passive, but his takedowns were solid.

Reminded me of an early Rashad fight. Dominated the takedown game, did nothing while he had him on the ground.... I thought it should have been stood up a few times more that it was. Even though Herring was mounted for 1/2 the fight, O'Brien did absolutely zero damage.

no no, in the beginning of the fight when Salmon just jumped up in the air and throw a front kick. Rashad was 8 feet away from him.

Posted by: BoneCrusher

OMG Herring sucked balls ... deep!!!!!!

Herring has fought Fedor, Nog and all the rest of the top Pride guys. Lost to all but that short assed vovchachachyn guy ... but you'd think he'da learned something.

Rashad ... still wish he'd fight more. Salmon was opening his mouth and extending his jaw ... sticking it waaaaaay out here ... as he both defended and attacked. His head defense was non-existant. That KO was a foregon conclusion ... but Rashad was getting owned by Salmon till that KO.

HAHA! I missed it, great clip dyl. Quick recap on Herman's fight anyone? Or that guy who beat Ed after the TUf finale's fight?

Posted by: IainDaniel

Supposedly Herring had a torn MCL

Posted by: MCx2

We saw Din Thomas out and about last night, his face looked like the Alps. At least he won.

I highly enjoyed the Hermes Franca fight.

I like all the fights, it was better than alot of PPV's I have seen.

I agree. I thought it was an entertaining card.

Posted by: fUnc17

IMO the card was garbage. None of the ufc babies could finish except rashad. Hermes is OK, he isnt aggressive enough on his feet, although he does throw bombs.

You should have been on it right?

They were good matchups, which is all you can ask for on a free event.

Sorry it wasn't Fedor.

It's so funny though, the one guy on the card that has fought his career in Pride got O'brienowned.

Herring was beat up in pride. HE failed miserably and with nothing left for him there he's trying to get something going in a lessor franchise ... like the UFC. Obviously he is not off to a very good start here either.

It was the most boring pro mma card i have ever seen. They had half a retard in salmon throwing flying karate kicks, none of the fighters could finish their fights. And they were all gassed by the end of the first round. YAWWWN.

No conditioning, terrible jiu jitsu. The ONLY thing that was impressive on that card was obrien's takedowns. And he was an incomplete fighter, I mean seriously you take down herring 3-4 times and gain mount for the majority of the fight and all u do is pin him there? No strikes? No looking for a submission while herring is gassed? Garbage.

BTW, i am not a pride nut hugger by any means so stop pulling that card. Herring looked like shit and to be honest I never heard of the guy until 5 minutes before his fight.

I expected much better fights

and yes, I should have been on it

Prove it. Almost every UFC thread you come in and talk about how shitty the UFC fighters were/are. You can always count on 2 people to bring negativity to these threads, you and BigDyl.

And I would love to see you get in the ring.

Posted by: Goodfella9783

I thought it ended up being a great card. Two nice KO's and a submission. What else can we ask for in a free event?

Hulk Hogan to come in the ring and body slam Ed Herman.

I'd rather see Brooke Hogan come into the ring and bodyslam Rachelle Leah and then them two go at it.

Apparently fireworks, more KO's, maybe a hot air balloon show, and a high wire act. Oh yeah, and Fedor. If Fedor isn't on the card, it's a shitty card.

and Fedor is not my favorite fighter, you are confusing me and BigDyl or confusing me with someone else because I don't have a favorite fighter. I don't worship fighters, I may be partial to some because of their style but unlike you I don't worship other men.

You are a snob. Big time. You think just because you are almost a blue belt in BJJ that you know all. Sorry dude. You don't.

And then you make the king of all assumptions by saying I worship other men. Backing up your bullshit with assmuptions. Nice work tool.

Hmm, I cant believe IM doesnt have a smiley eating popcorn or watching tv...

Posted by: fufu

I liked the fights and didn't get bored with them.

I agree that the guy who beat Herring really should have been trying to clamp into a sub alot of the time, but he still beat him and it was cool seeing him win after Herring was put into the fight to win.

I cant tell if the site is for it or against it.

I always hated that kind of shit. Too bad some of the "douche-baggery" occurs in my city. However, Ive seen NONE of them, blow the camera a kiss while looking "HAWT."

Its making a joke about it. I'm surprised you have never seen that site before. We've posted it on here numerous times. I asked fUnc if he knew them because he is from Jersey and wears his hair like them. Have you seen the orignal thread started on Sherdog? It is very entertaining.

I don't care what you or anyone thinks about the fights, IMO they blew. Whether you agree or not do not respond if your going to be a tool about it. No one likes to see a mental retard patient (salmon) getting knocked out, i mean look at this guy

DERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Now as far as the name calling... c'mon dude, grow up a little bit. I know its hard to be the least immature AND open minded but the insults just make you look dumber than you really are. you have potential man.

Posted by: Goodfella9783

Salmon actually dominated the first round. Of course, he got caught with a huge kick (It looked like he thought Rashad was going for the leg kick) and got dropped hard. A Highlight KO like that is great for the UFC especially being a free event where a lot of the cheap bastards who don't get the PPV's tune in. However Salmons looks to some (Like a retard) is neither here nor there unless you judge fights based upon the looks of the combatants.

The only fight I got bored watching was the O'Brien/Herring fight as I'm sure most people did. The other two ended in a pretty exciting fashion. I don't know what else you can ask for in a free event with obviously not the best the UFC has to offer. What exactly did you dislike about these fights that IMO were about as good (if not better) than most PPV undercards Func?

Holy shit, you know of those clowns? Jesus, I wonder what they think of themselves since they are the laughing stock of the internet.

After reading about "douche-baggery," it is my assumption that they enjoy the publicity.

Jorge's ex makes fun of him and all his friends all the time with me, its great. The kids a celebrity

What's not cool is you grouping all UFC fighters together and calling them collective babies. It's immature, it's annoying and it's old.

You don't know me. So don't pretend to be a cool guy and say "You have potential man." I have a great life with great friends, a great job, and a nice looking bank account. You on the other hand have a yellow belt with a few stripes on it and all of the sudden you are God's gift to MMA. Give it up dude. If you have to resort to making fun of the UFC everytime a thread is started, it might be time to re-evaluate your worth. It's getting stale.

P.S. That mental retard would stomp your goofy ass.
