hahah! shogun who?!

 

the pride boys are getting their ass kicked in the octagon

 

well, except for rampage

 

shogun's conditioning is really bad. 2nd round palang and he's already that tired

 

bye silva vs liddell! hahah

Oo nga. Disappointed si Silva na natalo si Lidell. Ako din :thumbsdownsmiley:

c'mon guys, don't dismiss Shogun that fast.. naging matagal ang layoff nya inbetween this fight and his last, around 7 months after he fought Alistair Overeem.. training is waaay different than the actual fight, the pace of the entire thing is waay different, & ring rust really got into Shogun.. kung titignan nyo ung timeframes nung mga gap inbetween his fights ang matagal lang before the Overeem fight is when he got injured during his fight with Coleman (around 7 months din) & after he defeated Akihiro Gono (mga around 8 months).. normally around 2 months lang ang pagitan inbetween fights, & for someone to be inactive for longer than that is really tough.. sana lang hindi idismiss kaagad si Shogun kasi after that loss he's still there in the top 10, & i'm sure makakabawi din yan pagbalik nya..

 

not taking away from Forrest though, he's vastly improved after losing to Jardine..

 

after UFC 76, Tyson Griffin reminds me now of Roger Huerta. puro biased decisions IMO. that's two consecutive now, after "beating" Clay Guda. i had Tavares on AT LEAST a split decision.

 

well, nangyari nga ang sitwasyon na nabanggit ko: Iceman got Nyquil'd! :lol: dissapointed si WAND, pero there's always Tito Ortiz diba...

 

and somewhere in the States, Mr. Kos is screaming:

19 AND TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ Shogun Rua, who broke Quinton Jackson's ribs and KO'd him. c'mon, don't diss on him this early, he'll be back after he adjusts.

 

and don't generalize about the PRIDE boys. Anderson Silva came from PRIDE, & he's the Middleweight champion. Big Nog is a former PRIDE Heavyweight Champ, & he won against Herring. just because Cro Cop wasn't successful doesn't mean that all PRIDE fighters won't be. Wanderlei did fight for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title before, so there's at least one dude who knows his way around the octagon.

 

i haven't seen the fight yet. will just torrent it. :)

^ if you can DL the whole card, do so. really good card top to bottom, & that's 2 in a row now that the UFC has delivered a great card (including Ultimate Fight Night 11 couple of weeks ago). the only boring fight was the Nakamura - Machida fight, but everything else was really good. will post links for fight clips if i get them. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

i was on the road & was taking a look back on the Liddell - Jardine fight, & despite the word from the street that Chuck did have a great training camp it seemed to me that he wasn't able to adapt well to Jardine's style enough to sustain it for 3 rounds. round 1 was close with both guys connecting, but rounds 2 & 3 showed no adjustments in Chuck, kinda like Diego Sanchez when he fought Koscheck. the pattern of attack was already there, but Chuck really didn't make any adjustments at all inbetween rounds. he didn't check the kicks, he wasn't able to push the pace, & he let Jardine control the tempo of the fight. maybe Chuck forgot that he was a pure-bred kickboxer that knows how to check low kicks.

 

just read an article on Yahoo! Sports on how PRIDE made myths out of its fighters but then those fighters faltered when they shifted to the UFC. for those considering that idea, don't. please. it's a whole different scenario when these fighters jumped into the UFC. it's unfortunate what happened to Cro Cop, but for every PRIDE fighter who fails on their first try in the UFC, being compared immediately to Cro Cop is unfair. trust me, give Shogun time to adjust to the octagon & he'll be back on the winners' circle in no time. and for those who will dismiss Wanderlei Silva at this moment because of what has happened to all those PRIDE fighters that have stepped on the octagon & failed, look at Anderson Silva & Big Nog. and remember, WAND did fight for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title before, so he knows his way around the UFC.

Maybe if Shogun didnt have that long lay off and of course the adjustment to octagon rules and stuff like that(and another thing his cardio didnt fail him) we will be seeing Forrest sitting in a gym crying..

 

Tyson Griffin irritates me, he stole one against Clay then he stole another one against Huerta..

 

Jardine in my opinion played a very tactical striking match, Jardine took advantage of kicks, he wasn't agressive.. Susundot sya ng mga body kicks then mga left or right hands sa head..

*Jon Fitch is for real!! :) damn, was he good beating down Diego "the nightmare" Sanchez, he countered everything this kid could do, from the stand-up up to the ground, he neutralized submissions from the jujitsu expert with ease, he controlled the fight from start to finish, i was really surprised to hear the commentators (esp. joe rogan) saying that sanchez was partly winning the fight due to his numerous submission attempts that were countered by Fitch, it was a deserved win for Jon Fitch & i'm excited to see his future matches in the UFC. The question is what's next for Diego Sanchez, after losing two matches consecutively.

 

*As earlier posts have said, don't count Shogun Rua out just yet, he had a long lay-off in between fights & he is new to the UFC, i'm excited to watch his future fights in the UFC once he gets the hang of it. I was very disappointed with Shogun's conditioning for the match, Griffin was the more prepared fighter, he deserved the win, i think Shogun also underestimated Griffin, Forrest showed that he wasn't just for show, he was the real thing :)..

 

*Following the disappointing performance of Rua, I got depressed watching the Liddell-Jardine fight. Liddell is one of my favorite fighters in the UFC and watching him get beat by Jardine was just depressing, not taking anything away from Jardine, he fought a great fight, but i think Liddell lost something after his defeat to Jackson, I don't quite know what that is, the psychological advantage i guess he had against his opponents, he has become beatable now, some might say he is past his prime after reigning the light heavyweight division for 4 years. I'm just hoping he can get his groove back just like Couture did when he came back, i just hope the disappointment and the shame of failing twice in a row was not enough to falter the Iceman's comeback to the UFC..

 

Next up..UFC 77 HOSTILE TERRITORY (OCT. 20, 2007)

RICH FRANKLIN VS ANDERSON SILVA

TIM SYLVIA VS BRANDON VERA

 

I'm rooting for Anderson "the spider" Silva & our own kababayan, Brandon Vera to win their respective matches..:)
