I agree. Machida is too good for Sugar Rashad. Worst case scenario is a unanimous decision by Machida over Rashad. Best case scenario is a knockout by Machida.

Wow! Nice! Congrats din. Eto pala yung Event nung weekend sa Elorde. I was invited by someone to come and watch kaso sabi ko kulang ako sa tulog hehe. Congrats man. Anyhow some changes to the Fabricio in Laguna. New bluebelt Claude Santos is now the coach of Team Fabricio Laguna. Noel Ang is now in Dubai for employment reasons. I'll also be dropping by there pa minsan minsan. Again congrats to you man. Claude by the way is a 'guard' specialist so you will learn a lot about fighting from your back from him. :thumbsupsmiley:

UFC 102: Keith Jardine to replace Forrest Griffin against Thiago Silva on August 29

 

Perennial light heavyweight contender Keith Jardine (14-5-1) has been tapped to replace Forrest Griffin in a 205-pound slugfest against hard-hitting Brazilian import Thiago Silva (13-1) at UFC 102 from The Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon, on August 29, MMAmania.com has learned.

 

Griffin and Silva were originally set to hook ‘em up at UFC 101 in Philadelphia on August 8 — until the bat phone rang in Joe Silva’s office and demanded that Anderson Silva redeem himself for consecutive stand-and-bland performances at UFC 90 and 97.

 

Thiago was temporarily left without a date for the prom, but the UFC made good on their swap by pitting him against the “Dean of Mean,” as well as a few extra weeks to prepare for his new foe.

 

Despite dropping a close unanimous decision to former light heavyweight champ Quinton Jackson at UFC 96, the Greg Jackson-disciple has done his share to be atop the 205-pound ladder, putting together a solid record of (6-4) during his time in the Octagon. His resume is highlighted with wins over some of the top names in the sport such as Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell, Brandon Vera and others.

 

His next appearance at UFC 102 will continue his (mis?)fortune of drawing dangerous opponents.

 

Silva has made a habit of demolishing his challengers. Before getting stopped at UFC 94 “St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ by uber-enigma Lyoto Machida on January 31, Silva had finished 12 of his 13 fights, including 10 (T)KO’s.

 

Scary stuff.

 

Silva brings the fierce Chute Boxe aggression into his fights (even though he is now no longer with the camp). He has an explosive mix of punches and kicks, which can often leave him open to counter strikes.

 

However, Silva has proven that he can take punishment and dish out more … just ask Tomasz Drwal, Houston Alexander and Antonio Mendes.

 

UFC 102 is expected to feature a main event between Randy “The Natural” Couture as he locks horns with Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira in a dream match-up that most fans expected to see at UFC 98 on May 23 before Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir played spoiler roles in the opening round of the mini heavyweight tournament created in late 2008 to crown an undisputed division champion.

 

Jardine, Silva, Couture and Nogueira. UFC 102 is beginning to shape up quite nicely — and we’re still four months away.

 

Wait guys mali ata ito... I checked the UFC website... And under vera, rampage have not fought vera yet...may kuti ata writer nito eh....

 

Hi Sirs,

 

I am planning to take up MMA. What is the best base to start in MMA for beginners (striking, grappling, etc.).

 

I hope that someone can help me out with this.

 

I suggest if you think your limber then start with bjj with gi or no gi para maging flexible ka... In this kind of sport flexobility is a big plus I mean ++++++..... madali naman ang striking eh... wrestling and bjj ang may pag ka complikado ang style and it takes time before one can really acquire the true essence of it.

Yup True. But there are also advantages to having a base art. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Josh Koscheck (though he eventually lost to GSP) if I ever get in trouble I can simply go back to what I do best (he was referring to wrestling of course being an undefeated college all-american) and take it from there, but yes you do have the option to learn MMA as it is.

 

Anyhow any art is fine as a starting point. But I would like to side with UFC Commentator and BJJ Brownbelt Joe Rogan on what art is the best to transition from into MMA. (this may sound a bit biased coming from me hehe.) but he has claimed it is 'Wrestling' Freestyle and/or Greco Roman. :hypocritesmiley:

[riceb0i]

did karate when i was a kid... i consider that as my base art hehehe then i do BJJ lyoto machida in the making pala ako sumo na lang swak na hahaha

I would now give this acolade to Anderson Silva. Crocop's Fear Factor has somewhat dropped after being KO'd by Gonzaga and that decision loss to Kongo. He still has one of the most extensive KO highlight reels of all time though.

as a beginner, take an MMA class directly. then, branch out from there, depending on which aspect you are comfortable with.

 

and just to make things clear, striking is NOT easy. you can spar in grappling every single day of the week (one of the things i love about it), but in striking that will lead to facial fractures, internal bleeding, and brain damage.

What I mean by easy is madali sya intindihin.... meron kc ilan na hindi gad nakakaintindi ng techniques ng grappling...di tulad ng striking basta sinabi mo suntok,sipa alam na nila yun...

[maddromeo]

Everybody can punch and kick! But not everyone can punch or kick properly! Checking leg kicks and parrying punches?! You need good reflexes and techniques! Hindi basta suntok o sipa lang yun brad?! tsk tsk... :hypocritesmiley:

[Palakol]

What I mean by easy is madali sya intindihin.... meron kc ilan na hindi gad nakakaintindi ng techniques ng grappling...di tulad ng striking basta sinabi mo suntok,sipa alam na nila yun...

"suntok, sipa, etc..." = "sakalin mo, pilipitin mo ang braso, yakapin mo, etc..."

 

that is the equivalent. grappling and striking are equal, though separate entities of the game. by training both, you later feel which aspect you are comfortable with. you develop your own individual "style."

 

anyone can flail around and throw their limbs at some random target. but a flailing arm is not a punch. far from it. the arm movement that passes as "a punch" to the layman is but 15% of the equation of a punch, and sadly is even performed incorrectly. for example.

 

so, yeah...

 

and yes, i know what i am talking about, though it sounds a little biased coming from me.

Thanks for the tip, Sir. I'll think about it first whether I'll take MMA directly. Those things that you've said were helpful before I make a decision.

 

I am open to other advices that you can recommend before taking up MMA.
