MMA News and Notes

I think Evens has the better technical stand up, but Jackson can take a shot. I certainly hope Jackson wins as it offers the better future fights (against Ryoto and Shogun).

A rematch with Shogun in the cage would be somewhat nostalgic.
 
I'm going with Evans. His speed is top notch same with his wrestling. Only thing that worries me is Rampages huge noggin. He will be tough to KO. And I don't see this fight going the distance.

We are in sync.:callme:
 
I have to agree evans probably is the more technical fighter but Quintin just has that raw explosive power not many guys have and its won him more than a few fights against technically better fighters

Henderson, Liddel, Silva,Arona,Ishikawa all these gus are more "technical fighters in many respects. Even tho henderson is a better wrestler Jackson out wrestled him. Silva and Liddel's striking are on a whole other level compard to his an they both got knocked out. Arona's Jui Jitsu was far far supior to Jacksons submission skills and well I'm sure I dont need to tell you what happened there. He just has that X factor that raw power bro thats why hes always in contention regardless of his opponants skills.

I agree with 75% of this.

I don't agree with this myself. While both deserved legends of the sport, they built up a lot of their wins striking against significantly inferior strikers/wrestlers/bjjers. Neither have anything like technical striking.

Sorry bro but one strike knockout power from any standing position does in fact put your striking on another level

we were talking about "technically better fighters" though......and both Liddel and Silva are known for their success despite poor technique.
 
Feija sparks out Brit following a right hook to the temple in R1

AA lost his mojo after the first round and Bigfoot UD's him

Gracie stops Randleman via sub.

JAcare wins a UD

Overeem ragdolls Rogers and gets Big John in there to stop the fight via GNP with 90 seconds to spare in r1.
He then calls out Fedor and confirms publically that Fedor's management refused to let Fedor fight him this time.
 
I thought it was a night of no brainers. The details being the only surprises.

Jacare getting winded and not getting a sub.
Monster showing tentativeness.
AA looking less in shape, less in hunger, just scared all around.
AA not getting KOd, but then again, Silva never capitalized on the stronger strikes.
Overreem beating Rogers...oh wait, thats not a detail I didnt foresee.

Honestly, I found myself bored mostly.
 
Anyone watch the Evans/Rampage fight? I heard Evans won in decision. AKIRA?
 
Evens sent Rampage a Snuggy to he'd get used to being hugged I think.

There was quite a bit of boo'ing throughout the main event. Overall the card was descent though.

Personally I enjoyed DREAM.14 more. I guess because I was there live gave it more impact, but the upset KO of Hansen, Mach going for broke only to get submitted off his own takedown, the referee screwing Saku OUT of a possible submission etc all made for some good entertainment.

Entertainment being the key work that some fighters out there are starting to forget they need to provide.
 
Who wins out of Franklin v Liddell? im going with Rich as not sure how long it was since Liddell had a fight............like them both though and know they will both come out swinging. Rather watch that fight then another anderson silva bore zzzzzzzzz

So is Tito def out for the Liddell fight? Heard that mentioned on TUF. I guess Franklin will be stepping in. Rich Franklin is my favorite fighter but I may have to go with Chuck on this one. He just seems so hungry to win his next fight. If he looks like Chuck from 4 years ago then I say Franklin will lose. If Chuck performs like he has in his last couple fights then I say Franklin. Also, if Chuck loses he should think about retirement.

Id say so..
Tito Ortiz Gets Neck Surgery | MMATKO Mixed Martial Arts Videos, MMA Videos, UFC Videos

The last UFC was filled to the brim with upsets, but none I was really impressed with despite the results.

Lil Nog prolly shouldnt have won, but he didnt look 100%. Neither did Rampage nor Diego. Their opponents looked 100% though, in fact, Hathaway looked pretty darn good. Buuuut, I dont know. I was kinda bleh with it.

Duffee getting KOd sucked, but hes new and he was winning b4 he got caught. Not much shame in fighting a guy who had a pretty good chin. Duffee got tired and got HIS chin tested. Hell be back.

Rampage/Evans was kind of boring. I really dislike this smothering on the cage strategy. I guess it works, but for me, the fan, its boring. This was the first time in years I looked away during a main event UFC, much less one with Rampage.

Bisping won with a decision. Again. I swear, is he ever going to learn how to KO or submit?

pretty good break down of the fights I thought. was happy to see evans get the win though.

A brit get a submission? can bisping even do that?
 
UFC 115 looks pretty weak. IMO. Should have made that free.

Cro Cop is the co-headliner and this may be the first time I bet against him.

Pat Barry.

A younger, hungrier guy with a similar background as Crocop (though no where near as experienced), and someone that was trained by the guy in K-1 Crocop could never beat.....Ernesto Hoost.
 
Just watched UFC 115, WOW considering it looked a weak show, it turned out to be amazing, really enjoyed it. Crocop and Franklin were great.

That is what usually happens. Weak card on paper ends up being awesome live.
