Ok, forgive me, but they still look like theyre fighting like girls. I know its cliche, but it looks like an abomination. Make up your mind, are you a fighter or a girl?

Case in point: Couture's defense!

In red: I thought at first this was Minotaur, but I guess its "little nog" and not "big nog?"

In blue: I am declaring my ignorance here...but I dont know shit about this guy. I hear the same shit about him as I did about Evan Tanner. Will this guy really live up to the hype? How about someone give me a recap on him?

Josh Barnett is former UFC HW champion then he got it taken from him by Dana. He has wins over Hunt, Couture, Rizzo, Fedor's Bro, Nog, and Monson. He seems to always choke against Crocop.

I like him because he is a big advocate of bb training in mma and into entertaning the crowd

Why did Dana take it?

bigss75 · 07-01-2008, 08:32 PM

If I remember it was some weird steroid thing, he tested positive then he showed abunch of tests before and after the fight showing he was clean

Richie1888 · 07-03-2008, 06:07 AM

Franklin moving up weight to fight Matt Hamill I think he ll be in a world of hurt

AKIRA · 07-03-2008, 07:42 AM

I HOPE he will be in a world of hurt. For some reason I never liked him. Hes too pretty.

The guy told him to do it to him, then he sued him, interesting.

Quote:

According to Mike Sloan of Sherdog, a source in the fight community claims Leist asked Hughes to tighten the choke “for realism” which forced him to tap out. Hughes is then said to have walked away leaving his victim nearly choked unconscious.

So he allegidly walked away while this guy was unconscious errr, nearly unconscious? I dont see the suit.

bigss75 · 07-03-2008, 03:05 PM

He probably pissed himself when hughes did it and looked like a bitch

Richie1888 · 07-04-2008, 03:25 AM

whos going to win the lw belt at the weekend cant see it being anything else than rampage punching forest till he stops moving

Wanna change that prediction?

I was pulling for Forrest but winded up feeling bad for Rampage because that decision was garbage.

Round 1: 10-9 Rampage
Round 2: 10-8 Forrest
Round 3: 10-9 Rampage
Round 4: 10-9 Rampage
Round 5: 10-9 Forrest

Result: 47-47 (Draw)

And that would be best case scenario for Forrest. Whatever judge scored 49-46 in favor of Forrest should be let go.

bigss75 · 07-05-2008, 11:28 PM

I thought forrest won 2,3,and 5. Rampage I think he came hurt and the leg kicks busted up his other leg

AKIRA · 07-06-2008, 12:19 AM

I thought it was a bit crazy to vote unanimously. However, Rampage didnt fight like he shouldve.

Now I hope that weasely little boxing coach DOES retire.

Forrest fought a good tactical fight, Ill give him that. But he only does what he has to...its like he just squeaks by, with the exception of Shogun.

AKIRA · 07-06-2008, 12:19 AM

Oh...and tonight was the night of nothing but decisions.

Doublebase · 07-06-2008, 07:36 AM

I didn't get to watch the fight. Overall how was the card? How was the Rampage/forrest fight? Slugfest?

Goodfella9783 · 07-06-2008, 09:10 AM

The card was average at best. The co-main event was Patrick Cote vs. Ricardo Almeida and Almeida spent the majority of the time running. Rampage/Forrest was a bit of a slugfest in all but one round. It was actually one of the better 5 round fights you'll see.

Where's BigDyl at? We need him to swing by and give us another lecture on how PRIDE is so much better than the UFC.

TrojanMan60563 · 07-06-2008, 01:27 PM

Forrest did his thing, and I thought it was nice that Ramage gave him props and admitted he was the better man that night. Forrest actually said he knew it was close, which shows he isn't cocky about his win. I thought it was a good fight.

For some reason I can't recall the fighters, but that one fight was a total blood bath. I've never seen a fight that bloody and not called long before there was puddles of blood on the mat in multiple places. It looked like a murder scene.

bigss75 · 07-06-2008, 01:32 PM

I think forrest thought he lost when the announcer was talking.

I was thinking the same thing.

AKIRA · 07-06-2008, 04:43 PM

Yeah Forrest didnt look 'floored' when they announced the winner.

Rampage heard it though.

Yeah Lytle impressed me. Whats funny is that this was Kos's most exciting fun thus far, he wins, and people still dont like him. Myself included.

but no one really disagreed when the prediction most people thought rampage would win

bigss75 · 07-07-2008, 09:30 AM

I picked the forrest/ rampage perfect on mmaplayground too bad that was my only right guess
