maddromeo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 They used to show Pride fights in Solar every Sat. nyt but that was years ago... last time I was in Pinas they have it on pirated Dvd's already that you can buy for 70-80 pesos. Check mo nalang sa mga bilihan ng DVd's! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 T. Silva vs. L. Machida!? All I can say is that Lyoto fights to win, he doesnt look to finish the fight with a KO or sub! He just scores points! Thiago however in his last UFC fights finished everybody by TKO/GnP! War Thiago Silva! Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I finally got to watch the UFC Fight Night last night (had to settle for the re-aired show coz I was still neck deep in work till the weekend). My comments. Kudos to Frankie Edgar for controlling Hermes Franca en route to a unanimous decision victory despite eating some solid shots right at the very end, Again utilizing his base and wrestling skill to neutralize Franca's guard attacks. Brandon looked gassed in the second and third rounds agains Reese Andy. I thought he trying to go for the KO punch or kick early in the first round and that might have caused it, in addition he commented the cut down from 225 to 205 was a lot harder than he initially thought (the dehydration then re-hydration must have drained him) That Rory Markham kick was the stuff of higlight reels. Imagine eating a couple of good shots and producing a head kick (that was right on the side of the head, the "magic button") while in retreat. Joe Rogan was right. Markham makes his UFC debut in spectacular fashion. And last but not the least what else can we say about Anderson Silva that hasn't been said before. Perhaps the best well rounded and pound for pound fighter in the planet today. Though I still say based on the level of competition and longevity that Fedor is still the best pound for pound. All in all quite a nice set of fights for a "FREE" Show from the UFC. We got a lot more to look forward to this Sunday. UFC 87: Seek and Destroy will be on air. On another note. Kudos to Brandon Vera for his shoutout to Quinton Jackson. Nobody knows what state of mind "Rampage" is currently in at least he has a friend in the "Truth". Quote Link to comment

hardtohandle Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yup a natural 205 pounder against a natural 155-165 pounder (who just happened to be overweight) is really quite lopsided despite the level of skill in my opinion. And yes he did school Nakamura but he didn't KO him out. yep he's fighting Thiago Silva, but that dude ain't no pushover either. just to comment on what you said about Lyoto defeating defeating great names, hmmm i'd think twice about it he beat a Rich Franklin that wasn't that great yet, he beat a chubby BJ Penn who was way over his fight weight and Soku well Soku still has some octagon jitters i'd say, but if you saw how he schooled Nakamura on their fight in UFC 76 now that was exceptional. btw i'm a Lyoto fan as well chief. That fight really showed why BJ Penn was called the Prodigy, but that was really a bad move on his part. Pagkakaalam ko sa kwento nyan kung bakit sya lumaban kay Lyoto, who was just making waves then in K1 where he defeated Michael McDonald (who f*cked the hell out of Cro cop) and Sam Greco, is because he was planning to challenge everyone who was making a name in MMA back then (sometime between 2004-2006 yun), medyo nagkaroon nga sya ng problema nun with the Fertittas... As with Nakamura, no one gave Lyoto a chance against what they called "The Greatest Judo practitioner" daw (heheheh! those Pride/MMA "purists" thought that everyone that came from Pride are Gods). Ganun din yung scenario against Sokudjou, but Lyoto made the African Assassin look like an amateur. T. Silva vs. L. Machida!? All I can say is that Lyoto fights to win, he doesnt look to finish the fight with a KO or sub! He just scores points! Thiago however in his last UFC fights finished everybody by TKO/GnP! War Thiago Silva! Parang nakikinita-kinita ko na kalalabasan nito, Thiago will get schooled, sure yan... I will never doubt Machida, especially now that he is chasing the LHW belt with so much fervor... I have said here before that betting against the Dragon is a bad move. But I do believe that Thiago is a great fighter, not just in the level of Machida, though... guys pinapalabas ba ang Pride sa Cable? anyone knows where to buy Pride or other MMA shows except for UFC? Sa Makati Cinema Square madaming pirated DVDs dun ng MMA. Name it and they probably have it (Mga training vids ni Bas Rutten, Pride, early days ng UFC, King of Cage, WEC and some alphabet soup of mixed martial arts), kaya lang nung huling punta ko dun para humanap ng mga self-defense equipment parang wala na masyadong stalls (huling bili ko ng mga MMA dvds dun was in 2004 pa yata). I still have some dvds, kung sino may gusto trade tayo nung mga dvds nyo na hindi ko pa napapanood, kaya lang hahanapin ko pa... Quote Link to comment
