Mixed Martial Arts

[SevenZeroFive]

word on the street, on the day of the fight david heath ? wore a shirt with babalus mug shot in it

what i heard was it was during the weigh-ins, which was apparently false as per MMAWeekly's retraction of their statement.. i guess the only guy(s) that can answer that is Babalu or Heath, or both of them...

 

oh, & ain't this the stupidest thing in this earth...

sobral is one crazy mofo

[Great Milenko]

mukhang malapit na pumirma si BROCK LESNAR sa UFC. sino kaya unang makakalaban niya?

IMO people are making a huge deal out of this Babalu thing. I don't get it, if BJ holds on to a choke (which he did and he actually held on to it longer), or if it were anybody else nobody makes a big deal out of it, but if it were a tatted up dude with a criminal offense, people are screaming murder.

 

and come on admit it, it wasn't as bad as leg/arm breaks, or pounding on a guy after the referee breaks it up, Heath didn't even pass out.

 

another bad thing was that nobody even noticed how great Babalu looked in that fight, nobody noticed that the intense Renato Sobral was back.

 

sobral is one crazy mofo

 

agreed. and I'm glad he's back.

Just to digress a bit....

 

Congratulations to my Kru's!!!!!

 

RP bags 2 golds in Muaythai

 

 

Team Philippines did the country proud when it clinched two gold, one silver and one bronze medals in the recent Asian Muaythai Championships in Bangalore, India.

 

Youthful Romnick Pabalate, a 19-year old STI scholar from Negros Oriental, outpointed Thai Jakkapol Khamollakhorn in the 48kg division finals to emerge as champion in his first ever international outing.

 

Philippine Air Force's pride Anna Joy, a 2005 Southeast Asian Games Arnis gold medalist, duplicated Pabalate's feat, beating on points another Thai, Molthiro Vattanapackdee, in the 51kg female class of her initial international stint in muaythai.

 

Playing coach veteran Rodrigo Asiong of Baguio City settled for the silver medal when he bowed on points to Iranian Hossein Rokhneh in the 75kg division after winning halfway through the final four rounder.

 

Only the fourth member of the squad, sponsored by Philippine Sports Commission and Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT), Eugene Toquero of Cebu City failed to reach the finals as a leg injury forced him to forfeit his semifinal match.

 

“It is heartwarming that in our very first foray with the Muaythai Association of the Philippines (MAP) its athletes had already made their mark of excellence. We are proud to be a part of their success,”said Khun Siripong Phoungpaka, PTT president.

MAP chair actor Robin Padilla and president Robert Valdez also lauded the RP bets. “Our boxers have shown before our countrymen in the 2005 SEA Games the Thais are not unbeatable in their own sport. They have done it again and hopefully they continue to do so in Thailand in December during the 2007 SEA Games,” said Valdez.

Let's get straight to it and say that Randy did a phenomenal job at UFC 74 in defending his title. As a fan and a fellow Washingtonian I was happy to see him win. But as for the title itself -- it still sits in my house. No one in UFC ever beat me for it, and as far as I am concerned, no one in the UFC can be the heavyweight champion until they take that belt off of me in the cage.

 

LOL @ Barnett

 

Barnett won't beat Couture ver. 2.0

 

Looking at how Randy's game has become more solid over the years, Josh would get mauled the same way sylvia got mauled.

good points.. he was indeed impressive, and he needed this win after being KO'd last time.. i guess the circumstances in terms of perception did play a role, BJ being a fan favorite and a mystery at the same time & Babalu making headlines for all the wrong reasons before this happened.. me personally, what happened wasn't right, whether it's BJ or Babalu..

 

now, on to more positive things.. the reason why i want Barnett first before Fedor is that i want to see if he's just sourgraping.. but yeah, today's Randy has the edge (slight, IMO) against Barnett..

 

or maybe, he's just making noise so that he gets signed by the UFC & get back at Cro Cop for that eye poke he got during the OWGP finals..

 

onga pala, congrats to those who won in the Asian Muay Thai Championships! myself being a frustrated striker, saludo ako sa inyo! kudos! :cool:

gotta hand it to barnett though, he's very good at making noise and getting himself signed by the UFC. and it wasn't overly disrespectful like how Tito does it.

[ron9]

that's big talk for someone who got into trouble for using performance enhancing drugs

Tito is too loud, talks too much. hope he will change.

LOL I was thinking the same thing "can Josh take Randy when he's off the juice?"

[ixnay]

better take and make the test first!....

i doubt if he'd be given a one nyt stand against randy!....

[clubber_lang]

Barnett must still be using performance enhancers when he made those comments...

[riceb0i]

LOL I was thinking the same thing "can Josh take Randy when he's off the juice?"

hahaha i don't think he can take on captain america. i mean look at the guy 44 years old and still able to pound guys bigger & younger that him. c'mon barnett is a fckin joke... all juice & talk...

well he's good at talking at getting signed as you've said though. but still c'mon he's obviously sourgraping & trying to give himself hype at the expense of randy couture.

and a 1 nyt stand with randy is out of the question in my opinion, he should get it on first with other fighters out there who deserve a title shot or a fight with cap more than he does.

 

oh yeah, and sobral was an animal in that fight! goddamn! heath got what was coming to him, mugshot shirt or not, dissing an opponent with your mouth eventually is nothing without backing it up with your fists. like that guy frank shamrock made to say uncle in ultimate brazil, that guy was saying he beat shamrock good the first time they met, and then frank came to the fight and may him say i quit, to which shamrock said the guy had a big mouth and i made him say i quit.

on a completely different note, kelan ulit lalaban si brandon vera? nakita ko sya sa ringside nung ufc 74. parang last year pa ata ang last ufc fight nya. nagagalingan kasi ako dun, sort of well-rounded fighter, parang GSP in my opinion...
