I think Silvas fight was rigged. Oh yeah, i said it. That fucker was so tired from the get go. Plus, miraculously, when Silva knocked Liddell on his ass, he let him up... Um is this the Silva I know?!

Silva would usually kick an opponent in the head at that point (which is illegal in UFC), I don't think he knew what to do considering how rocked he was himself at that point.

He also let so many of Liddell's jabs in! Was he really that 'off?'

Liddell had a pretty sizable reach advantage and if there is anyone in the world that loops their punches more than Liddell, it's Silva.

Not to mention, every time Silva got some hits in, he let these jabs that seemed so easy to avoid in, resulting in a bloody left eye.

Every time Silva landed shots, Chuck landed shots. You could tell after the first exchange that Silva got caught in he was weary of Chuck's power.

I really thought something was amiss or Silva was not even 75%.

Silva was in perfect shape, Chuck just actually trained for this fight. He was noticeably leaner, and even had a good gameplan.

But fuck it...I wanted to see the GSP fight more than anything...

And WOW.

But was it really a fucking surprise?

Doublebase, how do you like Hughes now? He had nothing!

I truly went ape shit in HOOTERS when GSP went to Hughes the same way Hughes won over him.

However, he didnt tap right? But he did scream....? I need a vid.

I thought the card was total shit until the Liddell fight. I picked Machida via UD, never expected Soku to be just as bad as Houston Alexander on the ground, but it happened. The HW fight was atrocious, just horrible. Clementi/Guillard went just like I thought it would and so did the title fight. So all in all, I was extremely disappointed in this card because there were absolutely no surprises except for Liddell's takedowns. Hughes vs. Serra would have been so much better. Oh well.

AKIRA · 12-30-2007, 10:17 AM

I am not convinced that Silva was 100%, but what can you do?

As far as the card itself goes, I was a kinda bored too.

OH! :eeke2: The first fight! Anyone have the post fight interview when that guy was talking shit about the black guy? I saw what he did to him after he won...the whole 'fucking his head' gesture, then getting charged by the black guy, then the "bye bye" wave, but what did he say to Rogan? I cant hear shit at bars..

The other fights were just BLAH. I think its broken down to a science that if you walk into the UFC cage with a mask, youll lose. Sucks too, I like the Predator.

But George did exactly what Ive been talking shit about around town and it was AWESOME.

Any links? I wanna see it again. I raced home to find some uploaded vids before they got removed, but I didnt find any.

ReproMan · 12-30-2007, 10:26 AM

Clementi told Joe that he hopes the UFC drops Melvin and something about all the shit he talked and he couldn't back it up. Which Joe replied, "we'll you talked a lot of shit too, but you backed it up."

AKIRA · 12-30-2007, 10:59 AM

From what I heard, I laughed my ass off.

I watched the liddell/silva fight again. I do remember the fight chart before the fight and telling Falon that Silvas reach was a lot shorter than Liddells. I never knew it was that bad.

Wish it was 5 rounds.

Not only that, but Chuck had a 7 year age advantage too.

Thanks!

Oh yeah, what did GSP say at the end of the fight when they wanted him to wear the belt?

A Black Guy · 12-31-2007, 08:30 AM

Fedor vs. Hong Man Choi.

Get it while it's still up!

ReproMan · 12-31-2007, 08:48 AM

Wow, Fedor got BEAT UP. Damn it I wanted the freak to win.

A Black Guy · 12-31-2007, 08:54 AM

Seriously, if you look like this after a minute and a half...

PreMier · 12-31-2007, 09:12 AM

Agreed.

I am glad Fedor won too. A true Man vs. Giant fight.

Then again, was that beast a GOOD fighter or just a big human being?

PreMier · 12-31-2007, 03:13 PM

probably just big. he might be a decent fighter, but fedor has a very high skill level

ReproMan · 12-31-2007, 03:17 PM

He's actually an accomplished K1 kickboxer with wins over some big names including Semmy Schilt. He just has zero ground game. Zero.

Yes.

I am happy because I predicted a first round submission win by arm bar. w00t!
Let's bring on a really contender heavyweight!

I really like the looks of M-1, it reminds me so much of Pride. I like the way it is presented so much more. I still have yet to watch all of the fights.

AKIRA · 12-31-2007, 03:28 PM

I wonder if Fedor gives a shit that he doesnt fight in UFC.

There was an article about his life on sherdog that explained alot of his actions and inactions.

This guy really scrapped for his fighting career and his country. He stays so close to where he was brought up. The UFC is a big business, big income, big advertising, fuck everyone else, soul sucking empire. Fedor said he felt he was giving up too much by signing the contract. I really don't blame him at all.

AKIRA · 12-31-2007, 05:21 PM

Too much Pride can kill a man.

Not enough pride will make him boring though. Most of the good fighters have something more than money to fight for (I think pride's a pretty decent alternative).

Agreed. He didn't sell out.

The article talked about how most Russians feel that when someone gets famous that they let the money take over and they are no longer "one of them". Fedor manages to stay humble and true to his roots and I respect the hell out of him for it. He did right for himself, and his family. It's us that he did wrong, and we're selfish to feel that way.

Kelly Clap put me in her top friends on myspace and said that she was unhappy with her place on mine. So I go to her page and see that she's put me dead last in 16th...and Eddie Bravo is 10th.

I voice my displeasure at being behind Mr. Rubberguard and she acts like nobody knows of him but her. She says she sees him everyday and hasn't seen me in years, so I'm stuck behind the Twister for now.

So now myspace has come to the point where I have to beat a Gracie to get some attention. Fuck, 2008 is gonna be a tough year...

I still have no idea who the fuck she is.

She used to strip while she was underage at Silhouettes and whatever the Exotic Underground turned into. Then she got some tits and moved south to Rachel's. Got some bigger tits and moved out to LA. Did shoots for Playboy, some bit parts on TV shows, etc. and I guess now hangs out with comedians, rockstars and BJJ guys.

But Nick fucked her 8 years ago and said she had "bad skin"...and he's the judge of talent in this town, so
