You think so? I thought it was legitimate.



I noticed his age last night too. He certainly doesnt look his age, but he is older than me!

I was getting annoyed with Pulver smiling after every punch he took. It turned into a signal for the judges to score it!

Torres's fight was pretty good. I fucking hate the mullet though..

I tried to fix your YouTube embeds, but I can't. A YouTube video has a 10 character ID. You videos only have 7 characters.

YouTube isn't at fault, it's pilot error.

Pulver may need to go down to 135...lol. Who knows with this guy? MFS (former) fighters are struggling and Robbie Lawler proved that.

MMA is about adapting (amongst 10 other things) but pulver was out-struck by a non-boxer and that is not good.

Lawler decided to revert back to being 21 years old again and instead of finishing Smith TWICE he chose to be a showboat (wave off his corner when told to finish him) or be an idiot.

I know, I know, I know, Lawler saw the Pete Selle fight and was worried of getting KTFO because Smith is most dangerous when he is hurt...pfff, BS.

Like in Hold'em, when you allow two jacks to hang around with your pocket aces, the third jack is a commen'.

Lawler deserved to lose that fight on principal alone, he fought like a rookie.

AKIRA

Yeah, I noticed the code was differently copied. Either way, the fights are easy to find for now.

I thought Kimbo did a decent job. There was some talk on my other forum about the ref standing them up when Thompson was on top more so than when Kimbo was on top.

Smith feigns injury in some of his fights so the other guy rushes in and leaves himself open. He looks the same every time he does it, it is easy to spot. He did it with Pete Sell, Patrick Cote and now Lawler. Lawler was smart IMO.

Cyclin

I am unaware of any feigning powers that elevates a fighters game. If the "other guy rushes in and leaves himself open" then that guy isn't very smart, Pete Selle would be a perfect example.

Robbie Lawler is far too experienced and well coached to be unable to capitalize on a fun but inferior fighter in Scott Smith IMO.

bigss75

I think it was interesting how kimbo was getting slaughtered in the second round but as soon as thompson got his ear popped they stopped it quick. I guess they didnt want a blood bath on network tv

Cyclin

Good point but I think they mean in terms of actual fighting experience opposed to age.

Kimbo is nothing in MMA....He can strike hard, but that is about it. Put him in Pride or the UFC and he will get his ass handed to him in no time flat. Lets see a Kimbo vs Fedor fight....I would bet my annual salary that kimbo would not be victorious in that fight. Fedor would make Kimbo look like a fool!

fufu

When you see someone hurt and nearly done, guys rush in, it is part of the game, and then Smith will return something they don't expect. It is just mind games, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It is unexpected to see a guy keeling over in pain deliver a powerful strike.

the guy that beat kimbo on youtube, that gannon guy..... well since he beat kimbo he thought he was hot shit and went to the UFC and got his career ended by a nobody!!! he was beat down bad!!!! just throwing that out there..... lol

CORUM

faber was quicker, but i think jens hits WAY harder!!! if you look almost every punch jens actually landed hurt faber. he should have just capitalized on it. when faber almost knocked him out, he came back and had that kid wobbling, but didnt follow through. i dont know if he was still hurt (sure he was) or what. he just hasnt looked like the lil evil of old. he use to be a terror!!!! i think thats what happens when you start over analyzing the fight.

Anybody going to watch UFC 85?
UFC 85: Bedlam - UFC Pay-Per-View on Yahoo! Sports

Thoughts on the Rashad, James Irvin fight?

AKIRA

Eh. I am not too excited about it at all. Not that i wont watch it, I will, but I just want to see Hughes lose.

I didnt know Evans was fighting until now but I am not a gung-ho fan of any of these fighters, so I am just hoping for a good show with fair, exchanging fights and a referee tripping a time or two.

Welcome back.

So Evans isnt fighting at all now? Well, not that I didnt expect it. That fucking commercial Spike wont stop airing never said shit about Evans and I think they would.

I guess I am not into it cuz there are no title fights.

ReproMan

This card has been an absolute disaster from day one. The original main event was slated to be Liddell vs. Shogun but Shogun got injured. Evans stepped in only for Chuck to get injured. James Irvin signed up to fight Evans but Rashad backed out due to lack of time to prepare. Enter Michael Bisping as the new main event vs. Chris Leben, only Chris Leben violated probation and couldn't get a visa. Finally, Hughes stepped up and Alves accepted on 5 weeks notice.

A good deal of the undercard was swapped around too, but while it looks shitty on paper, there are some killer match-ups here. Expect Swick vs. Davis to be total fireworks. Vera vs. Werdum has title shot implications and so does Marquardt vs. Leites. Alves would more than likely be the next #1 @ 170 if he can get by Hughes too. Sucks that it's @ 3 in the afternoon. Guess I'll shoot to south Stuart Duffy's to catch this one.

I know, his return is weird. Seems to be accidental.

In any case, I was watching a commercial for the TUF finale and it looks like a better card than 85.

Speaking of TUF, in the house, I thought that little dispute between Jesse and uhhh...umm, fuck, the joker of the house, I thought it was ridiculous only cuz of the reaction Jesse gave the joker.

Jesse was talking shit about the joker, so the joker retaliates until he gets a reaction. Whoops, he called him a jew bitch. First off, and I might piss some people off here, but who fucking cares!

So he called you a jew bitch and you just so happen to "have some jew blood" in you. He struck lower than when Jesse was talking shit, but oh well, it worked, he got into Jesse's head. What really annoyed me was when the OTHER guy sat down next to Jesse and said "my wife is jewish." Once again, WHO FUCKING CARES. Is your wife there? Did he make a comment about YOUR wife? Then dont bring it up. Fucker just wanted to be part of the problem.

Speaking of which, he didnt say kyke (or is it kike?). He said jew. I never understood when people got offended by such adjectives. Should I be offended more when someone called me an Irish prick? Or how about an Italian asshole? Why not string up people that call me a black haired fuck face?

Rant done.

I hope Amir beats down CB, but I dont see it happening. Then again, I didnt think Amir would win in his last fights and that fucker kept firing.

I don't want to muck up the MMA thread, but here's the bullet list:

• Doing Krav Maga.
• Trading options in the stock market.
• Been unemployed for six months, started working last Monday.
• Moved to Boise.
• Changed intake manifold in my car.
• Was going to vote for Obama, but learned what he's really about, so now I'm not.

Oh, and you could've smoothed things over very quickly, but you decided to keep all the nightgown pics to yourself.

And don't feel bad if I give you shit. I know Decker outside of IM, and count him as a friend, but I still talk shit to him on IM.

Hey Repro! Welcome back bro. Go birds.

Alves weighing in at 174 lbs...how unprofessional.

This card really got its ass kicked with main events. After all the changing of the main event it is now a catch weight, christ.
