Olympus Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 And for Pinoys Fighters from Pinas?! I have to agree with you guys in the Lakay Wushu Team. How about the Subsports Phil. and Deftac!? They have some good fighters right!? As of now aside from Lakay guys, probably Ruben Sumido and Rency Calvelo have the best shots at international exposure IMHO Quote Link to comment
Brownman Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Watch yesterday's MMA show @Fight network with Kimbo and tributes to Evan???Kimbo vs Shamrock...brute vs experience. Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ^ geneticfreak is right, the first pure Pinoy UFC fighter could be Edward Folayang... (btw, geneticfreak do you post also in PinoyMMA? I think i saw you post there...) Yup Yup I do. But after they revamped the site late last year I've been using a different handle there. I also post on the bjjphilippines forums. Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 As of now aside from Lakay guys, probably Ruben Sumido and Rency Calvelo have the best shots at international exposure IMHO I agree. Rency has always been one of the most naturally-gifted fighters in my opinion and he's got that martial spirit if you know what I mean. By the way talking about local stuff musta pala sir Olympus yung PSSL last Saturday? Apart from lil king's match I have no other results. How'd the other fights go? Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 wec bought out by ufc? hhhmmm WEC has been Zuffa property for a couple of years now, they're just getting rid of the brand name to integrate more talent into the UFC (sort of what they did with Pride) I'm not sure what happened with IFL though, if they were also bought out by Zuffa.

hardtohandle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 ^ heat exhaustion. right where his body was found, temperatures could go as high as 115 to 118 fahrenheit. the authorities found his bike first, and it was abandoned. most likely the bike ran out of gas, so he tried to walk to where people are. unfortunately, a couple of miles from his bike that's where he was found dead. no official autopsy yet, but heat exhaustion is most likely the reason why he died. What a way to die... I've heard stories of bikers running into a snake pit or have a brush up with some of the most medically significant species of scorpions in the desert, but to die in the desert due to heat exhaustion is something... He was such a great champion, although we was never the same after his bout with alcoholism... Anyway, WAR TANNER!!! Rest in Peace! I didn't know that Mark Muñoz is a pure Pinoy, but he does look like a Pinoy... Yes, he is a LHW and he won impressively dun sa laban nya sa WEC a couple of months ago, pero parang hilaw pa sya to be elevated in the UFC... Someone's asking for the details of Chuck's visit... From what I've heard, he will be at the Mall of Asia on Sunday, September 21, hapon daw eh, for a series of demonstration and MMA clinic, probably sa main hall ng MOA ito... Kasama nya yata dito yung Fertitta brothers (or one of them) to talk about the details of the proposed UFC in the Philippines na sa January daw gaganapin... As with Lyoto, he is not injured but his opponent is (Thiago Silva)... Too bad we will not be seeing him fight because UFC has not fielded a replacement for Thiago Silva... Quote Link to comment
Serial Killer Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ultimate Fighter 8 video preview of episode 1 on Spike TV http://www.spike.com/episode/28938/st/3031714 Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Damn, Chuck's gonna be at MOA... On my birthday! AAAAAH!!!!! Gotta be there, gotta show him my rendition of Rashad's dance when he KO'd him... I just read the official report on Evan Tanner's death, and it became more mind boggling to me. Turns out, his bike still had fuel on its tank. The bad news was he ran out of water, both on his portables and on his campsite. And, he did die of heat exhaustion. One more thing: I didn't know that the area where Evan was found was THE Death Valley in California. Shows you how crazy Evan really is. I'm looking forward to TUF 8. One of the contestants at 155 is Philippe Nover, from Team Renzo Gracie in Brooklyn. And, I remember him posting at PinoyMMA that at that time he was one of the aspirants to join. And, he's a Filipino-American nurse in New York. I know Joe Duarte (Alliance MMA) & Shane Nelson (BJ Penn MMA) are the favorites, but I'll be rooting for Philippe as well. Quote Link to comment

geneticfreak Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A Filipino-American Nurse in the next TUF show. That's very impressive I hope he makes it far. Go Pinoy. Too bad I probabbly won't be able to see Chuck at MOA though. I'm officiating an in-house tournament at the same date which starts at about the same time. Hay. I hope there's still a chance to get to meet and greet him though. Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 mwehehehe ako sana makapunta sa 21, i'll be ninong at a binyag that day din kasi i hope i'd have time to go and see Chuck Quote Link to comment
