that tito fight sucked ass!!! and 30-27!!!! are you serious, i didnt see it that way!!! i wouldnt invite machida back, he ran for 15 minutes. i was impressed with the knee to the liver, but everything else was weak!!! and sean sherk WTF???? he only tried for one take down??? he is not a fucking boxer, i dont know his game plan but it was not a very good one. he should have went to the ground he was getting busted up by a JAB!!!! the wandy fight, well that was just great!!! jardine says he was the superior boxer, wrestler, grappler, kick boxer, WTF i guess he has never seen wandy fight!!! that was a great ass whoopin!!!

fufu · 05-26-2008, 06:33 AM

Machida wasn't running, he was avoiding punches. He hit Tito more with a variety of different strikes. So if he was running, that indicates more negative about Tito. He also tossed his ass at the end of the 1st or 2nd round and started pounding him. Good fight, Tito hardly got a shot on Machida. It could have been more exciting but it was fun to watch a guy move in and out and dictate the pace of the fight while barely getting tagged.

CORUM · 05-26-2008, 04:03 PM

it was the end of the first. i actually thought it was almost over for tito. he avoided punches by running around the ring. he did land some pretty good ones. i am impressed how he can throw and run. i thought it was a shitty fight. i was not impressed with machida at all. he had a pretty good game plan i guess, but it was not a fight to really talk about the day after. and if you want to talk about him taking tito down in the first, what about when he had tito hurt in the third and instead of even coming close to finishing he almost get submitted!!! not impressed with him, i can live with out ever seeing him fight again.

what about the Pulver vs Faber fight coming up??? i love jens, and i havent really seen faber too much. from what i have seen he is pretty damn good!!

AKIRA · 05-26-2008, 09:25 PM

GOD DAMMIT. I almost had this one done perfect! Sherk fucked up.

I thought the Machida fight went exactly as I planned it. My friend called it better, he knew it would go a decision. However, I knew it was going to be a boring fight. Machida is always boring. In fact, I think hes more boring than Koscheck now.

Silva fight was a no brainer.

Sherk...jesus, what, did he say he couldnt continue? I couldnt hear cuz of the crowd. He got a knee, few punches, then the bell rang and...said he couldnt continue? Not much of a champ there, former or current. He fought like a PRIDE fighter
..without the juice.

Yeah that was good. Machida fights like,well, how Sherk used to. He does just enough to win the fight.

Machinda was so technical that...it's almost not worth watching. Yeah, I know, a win is a win, but he's so boring to watch.

When the fighters get tangled up on the ground for too long, and nothing is happening, the ref breaks it up because there's nothing for the fans to see. That's also what watching Machida is like.

They should bring Starnes back and have him fight Machida, and pass out that Xinergy crap drink. Xinergy: so strong that even Machinda and Starnes can't put you to sleep!

I think he injured his right hand early on. It fucked up his game.

My sentiments exactly.

Penn is a shitty sportsman. I'm looking forward to someone breaking him.

AKIRA · 05-27-2008, 12:22 AM

When I first got into the UFC, Penn was one of the few I didnt know about at all. Slowly, I watched what he could do and though talented, I thought he was a tad bit arrogant. However, when I first started to watch him he just lost to Hughes and I felt bad for him. I dont like Hughes at all, so Penn's comments didnt seem so bad when compared to Hughes. They still dont. However, Penn is more insulting, so fuck him.

I wish Sherk had a Plan B or something, but he fought like shit. Utter shit. Penn isnt talentless so him earning a win over someone that fights with shit loaded caliber, is nothing to be proud about.

fufu · 05-27-2008, 10:11 AM

Say what you will, Machida has an effective style all to his own and has top notch foot work, movement and accuracy. He also uses a wide variety of strikes and combinations.

He is a smaller LHW and can throw around bigger and "stronger" opponents and make them look silly.

bigss75 · 05-27-2008, 09:04 PM

Machida fights exactly like his background, a point based karate match. He'll strike and as long as it lands it doesn't matter if it does any damage.

I don't understand if Sherk was that scared of Penn's BJJ to take him down or what.

Also be on the lookout for Shane Carwin, he finished his guy in the 1st round. I've seen him fight in Ring of Fire and he is a beast, NCAA champion wrestler and none of his fights have been past three minutes

Agreed. If someone touched my face and then licked blood off his hand after he beat me; I'd be pulling my glove off while he's getting interviewed by Rogan ready to cold cock him in the side of the jaw.

What a punk he is.

Oh and I pretty much agree on what everyone is saying about Machida. He's an incredible talent but not fan friendly whatsoever. Rampage or Rashad will tear him a new ass.

Nice to have some decent HW prospects in the UFC.

fufu · 05-28-2008, 03:16 PM

That blood licking was hilarious. Pre-fight he was talking about how he would lick blood off of Sherk's face during the fight if he got him on his back...or something like that.

Donald Cerrone is an awesome fighter from were I live, his fights are always entertaining

Edit: He made quick work of that guy

This Miguel Torres fight is one of the best fights I've ever seen. Amazing.
