monthy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nice find on the youth pics. Diaz brothers bata pa lang mukhang pang labanan na eh! Go Brandon Vera. I hope he gets a KO win. Sayang talaga pride. I'm not much that into the Pride vs. UFC fighter thing pero Pride shows were definitely a spectacle. Sa music and entrances, video presentations, ultimo announcers (haha, astig nga yung babae na announcer kasi talagang sigaw na nakakagulat pagka deliver eh) tumitindig balahibo ko habang nanonood. Tsaka may pagka WWE factor sila in hyping up matches, complete with staredowns, calling out sa ring. Anyway, I hope the UFC adopts some of the better aspects of pride to make their events even more exciting, tutal asa kanila na halos lahat ng best fighters ngayon. (Sana mag sign na si Fedor soon! Kahit hindi UFC basta lumaban na ulit!!!) Quote Link to comment
vindiesel Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 if brandon vera id still at the very least still as good as he was........he would win over tim sylvia one big question is how good does he take a punch???.....we have never really seen him been hit hard two things i like about pride is bas rutten.....i really like his insights because viewers can learn from him....as fro joe rogan, he mostly repeats the fighters credentials....randy couture doesn't talk much and the tall guy ( mark goldberg???) just asks questions the number one reason i prefer pride is that all bouts are main events......no under cards....they always pit two good fighters that are popular Quote Link to comment

Serial Killer Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Tim Sylvia winning by brutal KO in the 1st round. Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Tim Sylvia winning by brutal KO in the 1st round.^ i'd crack a different joke on this one, but i'd now say that the chances of this one happening is like Fedor finally signing with the UFC. and, speaking of Fedor:FEDOR COMMITS TO M-1PRIDE Heavyweight Champion To Headline First Show Under New OwnershipBy Loretta Hunt (loretta@thefightnetwork.com) PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko has committed exclusively to the new ownership of M-1 Mix-Fight Championship, which has been purchased outright by an undisclosed American entertainment-related company, according to a source close to the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Established in 1997, the St. Petersburg-based M-1 held over 30 events under the ownership of Russian businessman Vadim Finkelstein, also the long-time manager of the much-sought-after Emelianenko. Finkelstein is also the proprietor of the Red Devil Sports Club, a facility and team that houses numerous Russian fighters, including PRIDE veteran Roman Zentsov and former UFC middleweight Andrei Semenov. The source confirmed the new ownership has infused a substantial amount of capital into the organization. Finkelstein and others will stay on to assist in running the company, which will continue to promote under a variation of the M-1 name. The new M-1 will take more of a global stance, and Emelianenko (26-1) will headline its inaugural event as early as January or February, possibly in the U.S., the source said. On March 27, Ultimate Fighting Championship majority owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta bought the assets of PRIDE, only to discover Emelianenko had previously signed a non-exclusive, non-transferable contract with its former owners, Dream Stage Entertainment. As late as September, UFC president Dana White had insisted a deal with Emelianenko was imminent, though repeated negotiations between Finkelstein, colleague Apy Echteld and the Las Vegas outlet could not produce an agreement to bring the Stary Oskol resident to the famed Octagon. A major point of contention was White’s insistence Emelianenko sign an exclusive contract with the American promotion, which would exclude Emelianenko’s participation in Sambo competitions. Emelianenko is a three-time World Combat Sambo champion and ambassador for the sport in his homeland. Undefeated in 24 fights (including one no contest), Emelianenko is widely received as the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter. The 31-year-old former Army firefighter rose to the top of PRIDE’s ranks by besting standouts like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (30-4-1) and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (22-6-2). Emelianenko submitted 2000 Olympic Greco-Roman silver medallist Matt Lindland (20-5) at Bodog Fight “Clash of the Nations” on April 14 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He has not competed since. A formal announcement of the purchase, as well as plans for the new organization’s first event, is expected by the end of this month. Quote Link to comment
Nekromantik Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Andrei Arlovski on Jerry Springer show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4qyLrwgM0c Fedor signs with M-1: Top-ranked fighter and PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko (26-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) — the most sought-after free agent in mixed-martial arts — has reportedly inked a new deal with the Russian-based M-1 Mix-Fight Championship promotion. News of the possible signing was first reported by Frank Trigg as part of his TAGG Radio program earlier this month, and The Fight Network today reportedly confirmed the signing with an anonymous source close to the deal. If the reports prove true, the UFC has seen perhaps the biggest name in MMA slip through its fingers. Trigg broke news of the contract on Oct. 4 (which, ironically, was the same day I was a guest on the show) and said Emelianenko was offered a contract from M-1 worth $10 million. According to today’s report from The Fight Network, M-1 was recently purchased by an “American entertainment-related company” that pumped additional funds into the 10-year-old promotion. M-1 had been owned by Russian businessman Vadim Finkelstein, who also serves as manager of Emelianenko and his Red Devil Sports Club teammates. The news will come as a disappointment to UFC fans who were hopeful that current UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture would next defend his title against Emelianenko at a Feb. 2 show in Las Vegas. Fight fans had been teased by the possible matchup for much of 2007. Soon after UFC officials announced they had purchased PRIDE earlier this year, the organization began negotiations to sign Emelianenko when it was learned his contract was non-transferable. In less than a year, the UFC had taken one of its weakest divisions and stocked it with a stable of world-class heavyweights, including Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovoc, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Fabricio Werdum and — thanks to an unimaginable return from retirement — Couture. However, the heavyweight division was lacking the world’s consensus No. 1 fighter. Earlier this year, a source inside the UFC told MMAjunkie.com that the general consensus among staffers was that the Emelianenko signing was “inevitable.” UFC President Dana White has said as much during the past few months, though he admitted that one sticking point of his proposed contract — that Emelianenko would not be permitted to fight outside the UFC — was met with resistance.

Larry Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Tim Sylvia winning by brutal KO in the 1st round. LOL this fight is gonna be close for sure but I don't think Big Tim can finish Brandon in that way Brandon is the real deal, how you ask? Excellent on the ground:- Brandon competed in ADCC...as a blue belt. Not many BJJ practitioners can compete at Purple let alone Blue, but Brandon was good enough to compete while still at Blue.- I've read he was ranked 6th in the US at Greco-Roman, and he wrestled for Div 1 school Old Dominion, before joining the Air Force where he wrestled too.- he was once Pan-Am BJJ Champ- He trained at the US Olympic Training Center where the basic requirements for entry is that you have to be at least in the top 8 in your sport/division. Excellent on his feet- he was once WKA Amateur Muay Thai Champion and at one point was contracted to fight in K1- Trains with Rob Kaman- Has had numerous KO victories in MMA, particularly in the UFC. IMO he's the first truly hybrid fighter in MMA today. He just doesn't know how to survive in any of the 4 ranges, he can be a FORCE in any of the four and dominate you anywhere. Vera's one of the few that can actually bring all the disciplines together, and use them to dominate you in any way he wants. he'll be champ someday, and I'm saying this not because I'm Pinoy but because I'm an MMA fan, and I haven't seen anyone that's as complete as Vera today. check out this highlight: Dailymotion-Brandon Vera Highlight Edited October 11, 2007 by Larry Quote Link to comment
