    Stupid fucking cage. Why don't they just fight in a phone booth so we can be sure to entirely negate technical superiority

    Yeah I thought he had him here. He took those 3 shots rather well considering his nose was already fucked.
    Guess will need decent amount of cage adaption for situations like that. Seems to be a ton of talk on "how easy Bret pinned him on the cage" and how somebody like Brock would do this then takedown far too easy and GnP. Over speculation IMO

    Fedor did show that he has good feel for the cage. This move wasn't all cage, but he definitely used it correctly



    And about Brock's GnP. Very overrated. Wait till he gets through the several other very tough fights for him in UFC before thinking that he's gonna outclass Fedor. In order to GnP, Brock has to actually open up, and Fedor has shown that that's the exact opposite anybody wants to do when in his guard. Against Mir, Brock showed okay GnP. It was very unorthodox, which turned out to be super effective, but it was also didn't display much strength in dynamics. I honestly think it's more likely that Brock could catch Fedor standing than GnP him to a TKO. But we'll have to see how Brock does after a few more fights. He is still pretty green given the scope of things

    Speaking of which, Dana/Zuffa have a hard on for keeping Brock on top as long as possible. In doing so they give him the easiest legitimate fights they can, and Carwin shouldn't be too much of an exception. They don't want Nog to fight him because he has all those miracle subs, and a UFC Nog champ does a lot to undermine their division's strength vs Fedor. IMO, Dana think Cain's got the best chance to beat Nog (which may actually be true), and Lesnar vs Cain for the belt is huge win for UFC since it makes Dana's Mexican guy look the best.

    So I predict we won't even see Lesnar fight somebody who would give him very huge problems (like JDS) till like 2011. However, if Nog beats Cain then there's an interesting matchup, but I do think that Lesnar shouldn't lose that with the right gameplan. And Cain could expose Lesnar's gas tank if he really is a work horse.

    About Fedor's nose. He was cut late in training, and some people were saying that his nose was even red as he was entering the cage. Rogers just reopened a cut

    Looks to me like Fedor has a granite chin though. The jab that cut him landed pretty well, but didn't even phase him in the slightest. And when asked about the suplex from Randleman, Fedor said "I train to fall from various heights"

    Speaking of the suplex from the sky

    Kimbo is a piece of fucking shit.

    In before why don't posts in the community forum count you retarded piece of things I shouldn't say or I'll get banned.
  14. #239
    Since it's brought up, I would quite like to see Kimbo vs Brock. Not because it's a good fight, but because I want Kimbo's career to end, and I never wanna see his pubic beard and MMA within a mile of each other

    Just want to say that under some circumstances, I think that a fighter should not be allowed to be saved by the bell. One of them is when a sub is sunk and hes on the brink of passing out. Post-fight, Shields even admitted it was sunk deep, and sounded like he wasn't gonna get out of it. Ten more fucking seconds and he woulda been dreaming sheep. There's something wrong when tiny time limit technicalities negate that. Mayhem won that fight IMO

  18. #243
    Being saved by the bell is a regular feature of contact sports. When you arbitrarily move the time limits you're potentially opening up a real can of worms.

    Well, choosing to treat the time limits the way we do is arbitrary itself. In boxing, if you get knocked down, you can't be saved by the bell. It's not much different to provide a set of very strict guidelines that the ref would interpret and adhere to with regards to exigent circumstances. Getting locked in a sub at the buzzer where you will pass out in a few seconds isn't any different than getting KO'd at the buzzer, but still having to get to your feet in ten seconds

    I guess I have this silly notion about wanting MMA to be less of a point scoring match, and more of a real fight

    i don't think youre quite right.

    in MMA, if you get rocked, you can't get saved by the bell, either. that is to say: Fighter A knocks Fighter B down; round ends; Fighter B staggers around the ring; ref stops fight. MMA fights have been ended between rounds because the ref believes the fighter cannot continue. In your boxing example—and the MMA example—there isn't a theoretical continuation of the round. The round has ended.

    Moreover, providing referees with that type of discretion is just asking for more trouble. E.g. Fighter A can finish any fight with 100% certainty from half guard if given 10 seconds; there are 5 seconds left in the round; Fighter A lands in half guard; is it really fair to have the ref extend the round? What if Fighter A finishes with 51% certainty? If Mayhem hadn't finished within 10 seconds then what? Why not 10 more?

    I'd like MMA to be more like a real fight too. If it were up to me I'd allow knees from all positions, soccer kicks, and one 15 minute round.

    Yeah but he didn't look quite like that in the front at the time. I mean he's always looked retarded, but just like 50 pounds lighter or so.

    All three judges score the bout 29-28 for the winner by unanimous decision, Randy “The Natural” Couture.

    sherdog makes it sound like Vera got robbed, anyone see the fight?
  31. #256
    Rule of thumb: if Sherdog says something, go the opposite. I didn't pay too much attention to the actual fight since I knew the results, and a bunch of clinching up against the fence is lame

    In other news, Lesnar sounds like he's in terrible shape, Nog has staph again, Carwin getting surgery

    Marcus is pretty cool. Hope he does very well

    Some of them gas because they're LHWs who put on weight (probably partly by training less endurance) in order to make HW

    whee. was disappointed about gonzaga-dos santos being off, but now we get yvel vs dos santos. someone is getting ktfo. 107 should be very very good, and 108 shouldn't be much worse. i hope lauzon - stout ends up on the televised card, though.
  52. #277
    I predict they do everything they can to keep JDS away from the title. I personally would probably put him as a favorite vs anybody in their division


    Also, pics of recent Pudz training. Go through them and see the most insanely awesome defense to armbar ever. This is why I'm so excited to see how he does. He's so fucking strong he makes Lesnar look like a chump

    Word is that his coach has said that he has a gas tank problem though

    Gotta love Roy Nelson. His style ain't too flashy, but it is calculated and quietly effective. I gotta give it to Schaub though, I thought for sure he'd be done the first time Roy got on top of him. First time in the entire season anyone got out from under Roy! lol

    Pretty decent fight imo.

    I'm very glad that Pudz shows solid reflexes. In his training videos, he actually looked kind of awful, but I think that's because they were working on his cardio so much that he was somewhat gassed the whole time.

    Didn't really predict this fight to go any other way. Pudz is the most popular Polish guy since like forever, so they're obviously going to hand pick his first few fights. Pretty obvious that Naj was scared shitless of being taken down, but would be very interesting to see somebody who wasn't scared of Pudz strength throw some counters instead of just getting hulk smashed
