Okami, Hendo or Lawler would be a great test for silva at 185. Lawler deserves another UFC contract! UFC should sign KIMBO too since Dana wants hyped-up fighters like him. then throw KIMBO vs. Lesnar if he doesnt win over cap.

[textickles]

i'll go with brock lesnar on this one.

[Larry]

anybody know if Lawler really is half-pinoy?

 

a lot of people have told me about this, I'm not sure if they're just bullshitting with me

[Larry]

just want to share some pics i found off another website, it's not MMA, but it's cool and funny

 

pics are from Rickson's Super Challenge Grappling This was a tournament (much like ADCC), which only invited elite no-gi grapplers, such as Xande Ribeiro, Andre Galvao, Rafael Lovato Jr, Demian Maia, David Avelan, Big Mac, Cristiano Titi, Tarsis Humphreys, Eduardo Telles, Antoine Jaoude, Gabriel Vella, and several others. They flew down to this tournament in Brazil and were absent the following week for the token CBJJ "no-gi" championship.

Nah! People jus say that coz he looks one! But he's not! think he's half Cherokee Indian or something...

 

Ricksons Super Grappling Challenge is one of those prestigious grappling No-Gi event down in Brazil. Not as Big as ADCC but still famous grapplers compete on it.

 

Speaking of ADCC, regional trials are on the way and the finals will be held on May 2009 in the US. Who will be crowned Absolute!?!? I wanna see a Drysdale vs. Roger Gracie match! Hope they compete! :thumbsupsmiley:

Well I'd love to see another Jacare vs Roger Gracie match in the ADCC Absolute finals.

[Larry]

Jacare FTW

[riceb0i]

is the ADCC invitational? i wonder if Brock Lesnar could enter that too

[JustSmile=)]

Filho missed weight by 7lbs... WTF!

 

And this was supposed to be his audition for the UFC since WEC will not feature middleweights and LHW after this year...

 

But I still believe that UFC will still get Filho and I can't wait for it.. :cool:

Nope! its not an invitational tournament. You have to join the eliminations and win the regionals for you to go to the finals in the ADCC.

 

Filho missing weight by 7 lbs!? Ouch! Must be really hard for him cutting weight! :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

Faber vs. Brown... think faber by UD! :thumbsupsmiley:

A Robbie Lawler Silva match would be awesome. It'd be a short fight for sure with someone getting KO'd in the first round but I'd pay to see it. hehe.

 

Anyway again, stylistically Hendo in my opinion is the one best suited for a fight against Anderson Silva. If the 3 BJJ Blackbelts could develop better chins and faster shots though Silva might have a problem with any of them.

 

I say have luiz banha cane drop to 185 or 2 words cung lee andersons last 3 loses all came from asians hahah

good point. and two of those losses were via submission (triangle choke to Daiju Takase and heel hook from a "beautiful" scissor lock takedown by Ryo Chonan). so there we have it. the guy who will beat silva should be asian and should be a submission artist. hehehe.

 

but all kidding aside Anderson has truly improved on the ground under the tutelage of the Noguiera siblings (that switchout escape from the back to a single during his fight with Marquardt was sweet btw) but IMHO it is still the best way to beat him.

 

Hendo took him down and controlled him during the first round of their fight and clearly won the round. Had he done that the whole five rounds instead of engaging him in a brawl during the second round he could have won that fight. Travis Lutter also had him mounted during their fight. I believe that had he chosen to continue with the GNP instead of going for that "sloppy" armbar the ref would have stopped the fight and he would have won.

may kasaling pinoy sa ultimate figher! His name is Philippe Nover and im sure he is proud pinoy kasi dun sa tinitirhan niyang bahay kasama ung mga ibang contestants may paper sa room ni Philippe na color red and blue tapos nakasulat sipag at tiyaga!
