This is really cool, I think you're gonna like it. I pulled this off the Underground
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmnpzg1429k
Here's the back story
| Quote: | So this guy drops in and watches my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class and he tells me that the art does not work and that his TKD, Boxing, Akido, shootfighting blend can defeat Jiu-Jitsu. It irritated me to say the least but I blew him off and he left the school. He then proceeded to call me challenging me to a match. I declined, but then he started telling people in town I was afraid of him. The next time he called I accepted his challenge and this is a video of the 2 matches. The first match I get him with a triangle choke. The second match you have to watch to see. Please note that my left foot is broken and that is why I did not throw any kicks with it. Enjoy.

War Nog. Would rather see him fight Lesnar than Couture again. Couture most likely to win though. This is, however, a rather unpredictable fight.
And Brett Rogers is going to get his ass destroyed by Fedor. Line opened at -800 Fedor +500 Rogers, but I'm sure it's still a great bet on Fedor. Brett's got nothing. Heavy hands? Okay, I'll give him that, but he's too slow. Fedor's not gonna Timmeh him, but close |

Apparently Mariusz Pudzianowski is now MMA. His first fight will be in Poland in December. If you never followed World's Strongest Man, you have no idea who he is, but he's been the most dominant in the history of the sport, and always the quickest and highest endurance in the sport
He's 6'1" and sits a really lean 300, and he'll easily be the strongest person to ever even touch a ring or cage. Will be interesting to see if he has any talent and gas tank. I've always wanted to see more guys like him get into MMA because they're just leagues ahead of everybody else with regards to strength. Just look at Lesnar.
Pudz is on insane amounts of drugs though. Really looking forward to see how he does, but even if he's great I doubt he'll ever fight in the States or any place that tests.
Drug tests are stupid. They don't do shit but delude morons and cancel great competition and kill careers. Take drugs out of the NFL and it'd probably revert to 1960s level of intensity or something that nobody today wants to watch |

Sorry I shoulda linked
http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=news.detail&gid=188050
I like how everybody on Shitdog is saying how Pudz beats his competition in WSM by outlasting them because he's not as strong as they are. That is simply not true. If you watch WSM you'll see that Pudz is the first out the gates the vast majority of the time. His endurance for the sport is awesome too, but WSM is about as pure anaerobic as you can get, and I don't know exactly how that translates into MMA. While Pudz could probably have the most explosive first 30 seconds of any heavyweights in a fight, he would likely deteriorate very rapidly after that.
Here's a good vid of Pudz's 2007 WSM highlights
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYNJITf9brg&feature=related
I really like this development. I'd love to see many more athletes from strength sports get involved in MMA because a very important base for MMA is strength/speed/agility etc, and the best in strength sports have that to the peak of human potential
Like check out Pyrros Dimas immediately after completing a lift (probably for one of his golds)
That is absolutely insane hops. Speed-strength and neuromuscular coordination like that means that if he learned how to fight it would all translate into the fight. Of course, learning how to fight is very important, and not given. There's a good possibility that even though Pudz will physically dominate anybody he steps in a ring with, he may simply just suck at fighting and get his ass dropped |

The most clued in people I've found on the subject of exercise physiology and sports and muscle and all that jazz, with almost no exceptions, claim that doping is super commonplace in elite sports.
Some drugs, like growth hormone, cannot even be tested for. Also, lay people don't understand exactly how amazingly powerful performance enhancing drugs are. If, for example, the NFL was not saturated with steroids, whenever one athlete in the sport would start doping we would see him effectively look and perform like a super human.
6'2" 240 at 8-10% body fat is soooooooooooo not normal. Super huge, super lean, all the while regularly engaging in extremely intense activity. Doing that without doping is highly suspect
Having said that, when it comes to high intensity and combat sports, MMA is probably one of the least doped, and that's one reason I love it so much. The sport is just so incredibly dynamic and technical, that drugs do less. For example, put Pudz in the cage against Anderson Silva, and Pudz will get the fuck beat out of him. But put them across the trenches in NFL, and Pudz will break Silva in half. |

Fedor vs Bart Hodgers announced
From Shitdog
| Quote: | Coker said these fighters will be participating in the show:
Main Event:
Fedor vs Rogers
Undercard:
Jake Shields vs Mayhem Miller (Strikeforce MW Title <Cung Le Stripped Of Title>)
Cris Cyborg vs TBA
Gegard Mousasi vs TBA
I will assume:
Shields vs Mayhem Miller
Mousasi vs Filho/Lombard
Cyborg vs Toughill/Coenen
***ALSO***
The UFC most likely will not counter this event on CBS with a live show.
They will most likely show the replay of UFC 102 on Spike. |
Looks like it's gonna be a fantastic card.
Ultimately, I don't like it though. The more of a major league contender that SF becomes, the worse the fights will be. It's the same principle as what's found in other sports. Competing leagues are bad for the sport. Just imagine how much it would suck for NFL fans if the AFC and NFC broke into two different leagues. Everybody would be complaining about not seeing the matchups they want to see. Or imagine what it would be like if half the UFC fighters were under different roofs. Instead of Machida vs Rua it's Machida vs a fight nobody wants to see right now. The correct paradigm in sports is to have different leagues for different levels of competition
I look forward to watching Fedor destroy Rogers. This is really just a so-so fight, but any Fedor is better than no Fedor. Rogers could catch Fedor, but he really shouldn't be able to. His gas tank is garbage, nobody knows how he is on the ground (which defaults that he's no match for Fedor), and while he has big punches, they're not some kind of fast and precise that Fedor hasn't dealt with before. Rogers basically beat a bunch of sub elite fighters, then got sort of lucky against Arlovski. Not that he didn't earn the win, because that type of stuff happens, but Arlovski reacted foolishly to Rogers' onslaught, and the stoppage was early when compared to many other stoppages like Kimbo vs Petruzelli |

Man if Rezazadeh knew how to throw down, that would be an awesome fight. Rezazadeh competed in Olympics at like 350, and would probably come into MMA at nice lean 260 or something while being a couple inches shorter than Lesnar.
It's never gonna happen, but I predict that eventually MMA will become the biggest sport in the world by far, and the HW division we get really deep once it becomes popular in the Eastern Bloc and surrounding regions |

Cro Cop was just too depressing to watch. He looked like Gina covering up, was extremely passive, and I even saw him throw some slow mo knees in real time
At least Vitor was great. That's the best outcome since it brings a lot of interest to Vitor vs Anderson |

Who knows, maybe Vitor has finally gotten over everything with his sister since her body was found and all that. He's been on a tear lately. |

I'd never even heard of that till a few days ago. Terrible. I remember watching Vitor a decade ago and thinking he was amazing and he was all the buzz, but then he just kinda seemed to disappear. Does his career up and downs sync up with his sister's kidnapping?
Was really cool to see him look like Machida. IMO Anderson vs Vitor gonna be the fight of 2010. Also, Vitor finding Jesus is a good sign. As much as I hate religion, sometimes it's there when nothing else can be
I had such hopes for Cro Cop. I don't know what his problem is. He doesn't seem to have adapted one bit, and has lost aggressiveness. Naked high kicks and jabs don't win him fights anymore. I honestly thought that he knew that, and was training accordingly. He probably needs a new camp, I dunno, just saddening when one of your favorite performers crash and burns so badly. Anyways, I really have zero interest watching him fight again unless there's some mega revamping of everything. Except maybe vs Chuck. That could be good..... Part of me still thinks that CC could have turned it into a war and won. Nothing but naked high kicks, jabs, and pushing isn't going to do anything to anybody
I'm not sure what to think of dos Santos. He's obviously really good especially after beating Cro Cop, but no matter how poor he's performing, CC isn't easy to KTFO. I just wish that CC was on top of his game because then the winner of that match would be an extremely interesting contender.
What do you guys thinks of Machida v Rua and Lesnar v Carwin? |

And any thoughts on Fedor's future in SF? The last thing I want to see is him fight Rogers, then Werdum, then Rogers again, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens.
Overeem would be a fantastic matchup, but looks like Fedor would have to fight in Japan for that. Same with Barnett. I would love to see both those fights though. You guys think that they'll make that happen, or maybe Fedor's contracted fights gonna be subpar? God forbid he gets beaten by Rogers. Jesus, that would suck
Actually it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I don't think this fight is that smart for Rogers. If he loses then Dana probably won't touch him, but if he wins he'll probably get a great deal with UFC. If Fedor loses I hope that he would lose enough leverage that he could sign with UFC, but I really don't see him losing to anybody that's not at least Overeem |

This is supposedly legit interview with Mirko
I'm not going to visit or link the source though since it's mmanews and the site had a hacked virus on it just a couple days ago. I recommend not visiting it
| Quote: | Cro Cop reacts following UFC 103 in an interview with
>jutarnji.hr. Props to Robert K for the translation:
Cro Cop: I Didn't Have The Hunger
I f***ed up and that's all there is to it. Maybe the ones who i've said that I'm done are right. Obviously i can't break my mental block in the octagon. Besides, I've been training like a spartan for 20 years now, my body is worn out. The years cought up to me, I've been worn out.
WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED IN THE THIRD ROUND BEFORE THE STOPPAGE?
Dos Santos punched me in the eye and tore my eye-lid. Blood and sweat completely blurred my vision. I was standing there like a blind man. At one moment i confused my opponent and the referee.
DID YOU STOP THE FIGHT?
No, I didn't stop it and I didn't ask the judge to stop it. But it wasn't an early stoppage, he won that fight and would have won it by decision.
Simply put he is younger, more hungry, more aggressive. He wanted to win a lot more.
HIS FACE SHOWS YOU DID SOME DAMAGE?
Yeah, I landed a few good shots and cut above his eye but all together I failed big time.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LEGENDARY LHK?
The mat was slippery like glass. I almost fell down trying to do the LHK. But I'm not looking for an alibi. This was not the performance the public would pay for.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED IN DALLAS, WHAT HELD YOU BACK?
I don't feel the hunger anymore. I started playing it safe, I'm not ready to take risks. I would like to thank everybody that supported me and stood by me and everyone who helped me to prepare for this fight.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOODBYE?
I've been living a military life for 20 years now. Getting up at 6 am and having physically challenging task up to 8pm. I want a normal life. I'm entering a cage and thinking about fishing in Privlaka. You can't win that way.
WAS THIS YOUR LAST FIGHT?
Maybe I shold've quit after i won OWGP. | |

so hope this is true
Brock gonna beat Carwin, then Nog will beat Brock, then Dana gonna put Kimbo in with Brock and Kimbo will die and nobody will care about his retarded ass anymore
And Machida will be the first undefeated titleholder in MMA, and will move up to HW and still kill everybody. Poor Shogun
But seriously, Nog vs Brock (or Carwin even) is great because Nog won't make the same mistakes that Mir did, and Brock will have a very difficult time GnP. Everybody saying Brock will end Nog's career, but I doubt it. Nog could take it to the latter rounds and catch the gassed gorilla |

| Also, Fedor more than likely will never, ever, ever sign with the UFC. His interests are in making money long-term and doing whatever the hell he wants, and the UFC can't facilitate either of those. |

Oh yeah, I meant first titleholder to never lose a match in any MMA even after holding the title. I would say Fedor because I also think that he will never lose, but that silly no contest ruled a loss is quite the blemish on his record.
Anyways, I know it's a long shot, but I predict that nobody will have an answer for Machida's style. Obviously if he fought Silva or Mousasi or maybe now Vitor (I doubt these will happen, but would be awesome) he would have his hands full. He even has a great fight in Shogun, it's just that when watching his Karate it makes me think of how BJJ changed the sport, and I think that Machida's style will do the same, just to a smaller degree. We're already seeing this with Vitor. I'm not sure how much he was training with Machida for Franklin, but his stand up was remarkably similar |

I really hate Kimbo man. I don't care how cool some people may think he is IRL. I really just care about what they bring to the fight, and Kimbo brings trash. Bas called him untrainable, his ground game is maybe just the worst in the sport even after two years of training, and his game plan seems to suck. He was actually doing good against Roy in the striking even though I don't think Roy got rocked much, but his stupid fucking knee in the second round was the same exact thing that Mur did to Brock, which has got to be MMA 101 the wrong thing to do to a grappler much better than you while he's trying to take you down and you don't have a solid plum or something on him
I actually think Roy did a great job. They say getting a crucifix twice in one fight is loltastic, and according to Roy, he fought according to his game plan.
And I loathe all this talk coming from Dana et al about how great Kimbo is. I know they gotta do it because he's a cash cow, and even I would do it, but I seriously hope that Dana plans on putting him against a couple cans then claiming he's earned a big shot and putting him against Lesnar, title or not, just so everybody can see their beloved Slice get his face rearranged. |

This is more from a marketing standpoint than MMA knowledge as I'll admit I'm just a t-shirt fan. I enjoy watching the matches/fights but I know very little (except from what Joe Rogan has taught me) about the technical aspects of mixed-martial arts, but anyways:
I think Roy did himself a pretty big disservice in that fight. Yes he won, probably doing so in the safest way possible, but that fight will not open any doors for him. The guy looks like shit and while that shouldn't matter, I'm guessing it does. He's going to have to win this show to get any sort of chance at being a factor in the UFC, and even then I don't see him creating much buzz. |

Yeah, that's right about Roy. While he did stick to his game plan, I think it wasn't the greatest plan. He did want to stand with Kimbo unless he was getting beat, which is good, but the whole taking it to the ground for some technical stoppage was silly. The only way to truly make yourself look like you've beaten Kimbo to all his nuthuggers is if you out box him
But I think anybody fighting Kimbo in TUF is going to have the Zuffa bandwagon against them. I really want his career to end quickly in the UFC from fighting somebody who actually knows how to bang. Either that or he could actually get good and not just try to brawl then I would start liking him, but I doubt that will happen |

Looks like Bigfoot Silva and Werdum fighting on Nov 7. Gonna be a fantastic card. While I don't care about Werdum, I wanna see Bigfoot kick some ass cuz then he'll make for a great Fedor fight. I imagine winner of Bigfoot/Werdum fights winner of Fedor/Buck Hodgers.
The only fights I care to watch for Fedor outside of UFC are Bigfoot, Barnett, and Overeem. I doubt he'll get Barnett, but really needs to get Overeem, but that's also looking extremely unlikely due to Overeem apparent drugs and the managers hating each other |

| Sweet. Coleman got hurt, so now it's gonna be Forrest Griffin - Tito Ortiz on the same card as Carwin/Lesnar. |

| I'm actually not feeling that at all. I really wanted to see the Antidote bandwagon either get another win or crash. Also need another chance to see Coleman's daughters cry |

They're too old to cry. Now they just bet tons against their dad. |

I had a dream that included Fedor last night. He lived under my bed and would steal my food at night.
JCVD is friends with a lot of Soviet and European MMA fighters, including Crocop as well. |

| Also, I'm interested in hearing what you guys think about the judging in this fight. Had the winner been mortal, he definitely would have lost |

watched the fight, how the fuck does that guy not have his arm broken in three places and get choked out 2-4 times?
that said, I don't know how Henderson won the fight. I had him only winning rounds 2, 3, but I'm not an MMA expert so take that for what it's worth. Round one could have gone either way, I guess, even round 4 was a liiiitle questionable as to who won, but I had the other guy winning it.
EDIT -- hadn't seen dtorne's post when I replied, I agree with him. Also, what a badass fight, a half hour of my life well spent, good stuff. |

LMAO.... Henderson is obviously not a mortal.
First 3 rounds: Henderson suffers no damage, Cerrone eats punches to the face.
Last two rounds: Cerrone dominates, but needed to avoid the judges, pending a 10-8 - which didn't happen. |
