vindiesel Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 i think it would be difficult for royce gracie to be successful in the present format of ufc........ the ufc now has rules that favors strikers and ground and pound so much that it would be difficult for jiu jitsu artists to make their move in less than five minutes Quote Link to comment

Decision yung 1st, sa rematch via submission (ang galing nung ginawa ni Noguiera na Anaconda choke.. nun ko pa lang nakita yun!). Inalis na kasi yung laban sa YouTube, meron dati dun.

rudepnoy4 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 i give props to ace franklin but that dude is way too big for his weight class i saw him in person standing right next to rand and forrest both lhw and franklin got a bigger frame , he should move up lhw or come to pride and fight Dan Henderson Quote Link to comment
rudepnoy4 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 heath herring wont fight for ufc anytime soon he makes so much money in japan but if he does come to ufc he'll just walk thru those ufc heavyweights you guys ever heard of jerome le banner , that mofo can strike jerome will rape tim sylvia like 12 yr old girl on crack Quote Link to comment

MRyoso Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 ^^ si kazushi sakuraba yun pre.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> tanx for the info.. its always been fun to watch gracie's ass getting kicked.. hahah... anyway, lumaban na ba si sakuraba sa ufc?? Quote Link to comment
fatso8 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 ^^ nope sa Pride lang sya.. Lumipat sya recently sa K-1 though. Quote Link to comment
MRyoso Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 ahh.. ganon ba?? dapat nag ufc siya,, mas sisikat siya.. thanx for the info.. Quote Link to comment
nastynate Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 ^^ nope sa Pride lang sya.. Lumipat sya recently sa K-1 though.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sakuraba actually fought in the UFC...TWICE IN THE SAME NIGHT!Ultimate Japan yung event and his opponent was Marcus Silveira. The first time they fought that night there was a premature stoppagein favor of Silveira...galit na galit si Saku kay McCarthy. They foughtagain that night and Sak won by armbar by 3:44 of Round One. Some people say he doesn't fight in the UFC because of Sak's perception that UFC refs are bad...others say it's his fear of flying (which is ridiculoussince he began training with onetime arch enemy Vanderlei Silva and Chute Boxe in Brazil before he fought Ken Shamrock last year)... Personally, I think it's because the UFC pays much lower than Pride. Quote Link to comment
