Mixed Martial Arts

[Larry]

comparing tim sylvia to Fedor is like saying Koscheck is an exciting fighter.

no elbows to the face or head

 

no soccer kicks or kicks and knees to a downed opponent

 

shorter rounds (4 mins)

if Bruce Lee fought in the early UFCs, he would have done well, he had a pretty advanced fighting style for his time, training in strikes and training Judo with Judo Gene Lebell.

 

Would he have beaten Royce? I don't think so. Royce at the time was on a totally different planet as far as the ground game was concerned. Even other jiu jitsu practitioners like Remco Pardoel and grapplers like Ken Shamrock found Royce to be a really tough opponent. Bruce had a working knowledge of grappling but he wasn't good enough. Judo Gene beat him soundly a couple of times.

 

If Bruce Lee fought in MMA today, he would get killed. With all respect to Bruce, fighters nowadays have a more rounded fight game as compared to ten years ago. Almost every active fighter now knows how to strike, knows how to defend the takedown, knows the guard, and a couple of submissions and escapes as well. MMA has evolved so much over the years and MMA now is so much different from the MMA of UFC 1 even more so from the full contact matches that martial arts had in the 60s and 70s.

 

There's one thing you can be sure of though, if Bruce did fight in MMA today, he'll lose in his first few matches, but it won't take long before he becomes really really good at it.

 

 

Tama ka, gagaling nga siya kasi sya yung taong nag i-evolve ng knowledge. Parang sya nga ata ang unang Martial artist na nag mix nga mga different style. SIguro naman di sasali yun pag alam niyang di sapat style niya.

 

May naalala ako may jeet kune do student na sumali sa URCC, talo hehehe. Sabi nga nila di daw talaga style ang mag dedetermine na mananalo sa mga ganitong sports o labanan. Depende din sa student ng art.

 

At napansin ko din si Royce, ng tumagal di na nananalo. natalo sya sa Hapon sa pride ata yun. Nahanapan na kasi ng butas style niya. Ok lang ang isang style pag wala pang may alam mas effective ito.

I totally agree with you on this. no matter what... i'll route for the natural... it's always nice to go for the underdog when this fight materializes..

 

Yeah pero Fedor will still win this no matter what

200% AGREE! hehe

i thought the only thing holding fedor for fighting in the ufc is hes coach/manager wanted to get the whole red devil team a contract roman zentsov vs vera would be a sick fight.what about the winner of evans ortiz fight will face shogun for his debut.

[jeter08]

ny pinoys fighting in UFC?

[pr0nmast3r]

herring - noguiera ba ulit sa UFC 73?

 

yeah. ufc 73 good card actually, ortiz vs evans, spider vs marquardt, sherk vs franca

 

ny pinoys fighting in UFC?

 

there's one. Brandon Vera

[RustyXIII]

herring - noguiera ba ulit sa UFC 73?

 

Nagkaharap na ba sila before?

[Olympus]

Nagkaharap na ba sila before?

 

Yup twice na and Noguiera winning both times

[pr0nmast3r]

bawi sana hearring..

 

but minotauro is not that easy to beat

[denimhead]

the youtube of the kimbo slice vs ray mercer ppv cage fight fight

[RustyXIII]

Yup twice na and Noguiera winning both times

 

I remember Herring to be a halfway-decent fighter during the earlier part of the decade. Too bad di na nag-evolve ang style nya kaya napag-iwanan.

 

Kung nagkaharap na pala sila, it escapes me why UFC matched them up again. Would'nt it be better if two former Pride fighters making their UFC debuts were matched up against opponents they never faced before?

 

Would'nt it be more exciting to watch if Noguiera fought Arlovski or Mir? Lahat sila former heavyweight champion. Herring, on the other hand, would be better off fighting Sims or McGee - sorry to say pero yun yung mas suited sa kanya. Now I don't know if the fighters I mentioned are available but if UFC chose to go with them, UFC 73 will truly be STACKED.

[clubber_lang]

Minotauro would win this match once again...

[SevenZeroFive]

^ agree.. Big Nog's too much for Herring..

 

@RustyXIII: Herring debuted already for the UFC last january (UFC Fight Night 8; UD Loss to Jake O'Brien), & he has a 1-1 record so far..

 

a bigger question for me is why Cro Cop is paired with CHEICK FREAKING KONGO for UFC 75? should've went with Vera or Arlovski, or even Sylvia..
