MMA News and Notes

Coleman vs. Shogun was....jesus.... terrible.

Coleman I expected to get winded, but Shogun?! Fuck the win, he was just as winded as Coleman! Ill even go out on a limb and say that if the fight had not ended when it did, I doubt Shogun wouldve finished after the knockdown.

Franklins was...umm, well I know Henderson won the 2nd round.

PreMier · 01-18-2009, 01:00 AM

yea, i was pissed that rua was so worn out. seriously though, if i was fighting a guy that was washed up and 45, i wouldnt have trained hard either. heh

henderson took down franklin multiple times and they were pretty even on the feet. but hendo did more during the fight

AKIRA · 01-18-2009, 01:30 AM

Ill wait to see it again when I am sober, so I can retort. At this point, I wasnt impressed with Hendo.

Doublebase · 01-18-2009, 08:25 AM

So Franklin lost? That sucks.

tallcall · 01-18-2009, 08:46 AM

I liked Franklin, Davis, and Ruas. I totally agree that all the fights sucked ass though. Joe Rogan kept saying Franklin had good Jiu-Jitsu, but I just saw him leaving his guard way open and failing at almost everything on the ground....never try to takedown a world-class wrestler unless you are damn sure you can kick some serious ass off your back because their balance is INCREDIBLE and they have a very easy time keeping control (that's what wrestling is mostly about anyhow).

I can't wait for the GSP fight. I love BJ (especially if he can get me into the locker room to see Joe Lauzon at UFC Fightnight - which I'm happy to say that I'm going to see in person in Tampa), but I really hope GSP knocks him down a few pegs. I just think BJ has had almost everything handed to him whereas GSP has had to work up from nothing to be the champion.

I think the Diaz fight will be very good as well as Lauzon's fight with Hermes Franca (guess who I think will win

).

I'm also looking forward to the possibility of seeing Mac fight (he and Joe Lauzon were one of the reasons I got so intrested in and began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the first place, so I really want to see them do well).

fufu · 01-21-2009, 02:08 PM

Rua vs Coleman was hard to watch. Rua had every opportunity to KO Coleman. It was literally right in front of him the entire time.

At first I thought he was playing with Coleman, but then it was apparent he was gassed. The first round was exciting, but the latter 2 frustrated the hell out of me!

I hope this fight isn't a forecast for Rua's future career. He looked a bit soggy as well.

Not disappointed in Coleman...because, well...he is always like that.

Did anyone see Coleman push Stitch the cutman when he was making his walk in? Coleman is such a case. He should go takes Brock's old job.

fufu · 01-21-2009, 02:17 PM

Also, Rousimar Palhares' BJJ is scary. It's beautiful to watch. He's got great body awareness on both himself on his opponent. I've never seen someone move quite like him, he has a great flow.

TrojanMan60563 · 01-21-2009, 07:46 PM

Fedor vs Arlovski

Who is TOTALLY stoked about this? I want to see Fedor pound the legend into the ground. Maybe finally some of you non believers will see that Fedor is the best alive.

PreMier · 01-21-2009, 09:58 PM

dude, arlovski is in deep shit..

chobby192 · 01-22-2009, 01:18 AM

Hey guys,
Did GSP and Matt Sierra fight again? If so, which UFC? I am thinking about renting a DVD.

save your money....not worth seeing GSP whoop Matt's ass.....it was short enough you could probably find the whole fight on youtube.

PreMier · 01-22-2009, 10:10 AM

if i was going to rent one, i would get an older on that has randy couture when he was young.. like ufc:15 or ufc:28

Doublebase · 01-25-2009, 09:17 AM

Fedor is still the king.

TrojanMan60563 · 01-25-2009, 09:35 AM

For all you naysayers Fedor knocked Arlovski out cold..coo coo style! Lights out! First round KO is what I called, and imagine that! Maybe if Dana White would quit being a cheap SOB we can see Fedor run through Brock Lesner.

PreMier · 01-25-2009, 12:14 PM

lesnar wouldnt stand a chance. hell, josh barnett would beat brocks ass.

AKIRA · 01-25-2009, 04:00 PM

Did anyone else laugh when Arlovski dropped?

I read on another forum that that asshole charges fans for pictures with him.

PreMier · 01-25-2009, 04:26 PM

i laughed.. i was way stoked, because there are always so many haters out there against fedor. i was glad he crushed him

AKIRA · 01-25-2009, 04:27 PM

Wish I saw it live. Had to wait until after hours to see it on the internet. No bars around here hosted it regardless of how many calls they received asking for it.

Lindlands knockout was funny too.

It's my understanding that Dana doesn't want to let him in to the UFC because he's afraid that Fedor will chew the shit out of his fighters, thus making the UFC look bad.

Where did you hear that? Everyone is beatable. It will eventually happen. That's what I think at least.

Goodfella9783 · 01-25-2009, 06:22 PM

Arlovski was controlling the 1st round with his superior technical striking. He made a dummy move by getting in too close to throw a stupid flying knee. Severe mistake. Reminded me of what Faber did when he lost his title.

I had a co-worker who follows MMA like it's a religion. He's the one that postulated that. He wasn't saying that Fedor won't ever be beaten, he was saying that Fedor would cut through the ranks embarrassingly quick.

Could be true.

The story I am told is Dana only wants to sign multiple fight contracts, and Fedor only signs 1 fight at a time. He asks a lot of $ to fight. The other federations are willing to pay and not obligate him to anything. The UFC pays their guys crap and forces them to keep fighting until they either A. don't lose to anyone no matter the conditions or lack of time to prepare for a fight, or B. they lose too many times or the fighter ends up getting too little notice or time to prepare for the fight they are under contract to do.

I wouldn't want to be forced to defend my title on a given date without choice just because I signed some paper.

Agreed

Richie1888 · 01-26-2009, 05:52 AM

fufu · 01-28-2009, 07:39 PM

I don't see it as Dana thinking that Fedor would rip through "his" fighters. If Fedor was in the UFC, he would be "his" fighter. If he did become champ, he would be the UFC HW champ and give Dana even more reason to say that the UFC is the premier MMA org in the world.

Now, what Dana DOESN'T want is to cross-promote and have a non-UFC fighter beat his champ. He doesn't cross promote, it is a cardinal rule of his. I don't think he has since Chuck Liddell fought in Pride and got TKO-ed by Rampage in the second round of the LHW GP.

fufu · 01-28-2009, 07:42 PM

Wow did you guys see Faber's fight on Sunday? He just ripped through Pulver. Looks like his loss didn't affect him mentally. Faber vs. Brown II, come on!
