JustSmile=) Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Affliction did not even make their third event. Damn it, now Im excited!! Fedor still has a 1 fight left with affliction, the question would be, did UFC acquire that contract? If they did, then Fedor cannot escape the cage now.. he needs to fight at least once inside the cage.. Also, Gomi was set to make his US debut at Affliction. Will that push through as well? Wow!! Major turning point for MMA.. Cant wait for UFC press con on July 31.. Quote Link to comment
dragonei Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 anything can happen in MMA chief Fedor is a great fighter no doubt, but everyone is still beatable if you ask me, and that's what's great about MMA a great gameplan is the best weapon loaded with awesome skillset that compliments an extraordinary physical prowess. plus the excerpt re Snowman VS the Maine-ac lets factor in the height and reach advantage of Big Tim, he's like 6'8 and Monson is what 5'9 i'd say that was really a UD in the making, BTW he didn't nearly submitted Monson, as Monson wasn't really in any danger from the triangle choked attempt from Tim. i apologize for this chief, i just don't take anyone lightly when they don't give much chance to fighter having a chance against someone else... except if that fighter you were taking for granted is named Kimbo Slice oh almost forgot boss King Nothing i got that information from google No need for an appologies, I am simply giving my thoughts on a match up like that. Well of course anything can happen in MMA, a fight can end quickly out a a fluke. But being realistic about it, and given the circumstances, its simply unlikely that someone like monson could be able to step up against fedor in short notice. Yes the size did play a factor when monson fought sylvia, but remember cotoure dominated Sylvia despite of the fact sylvia was almost twice the size of captain america. Fedor is a natural light heavyweight if you ask me, but he can whack out guys bigger than him. But you and I at least agree on something. You always got to have a good game plan and preparation to win every fight. And in less than a week, how can monson cook up a perfect game and training plan against the king of MMA? 80% of your training is for your opponents style. Fedor as we all know is a tactician. He does not fight on pure rage and instinct. Look at the finesse of his executions. Randallman slammed him on the canvass head first, but look how fedor kept his composure, and executed that kimura nicely. But oh well, what a waste, the fight aint happening. I guess lets all look forward on seeing fedor in the cage. Fedor as good as a fighter he is, might have a hard time adjusting his game plan in the octagon Quote Link to comment
King Nothing Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 mystery pagkawala ni Vera sa UFC 102 card Vera is out again! Potek that sucks big time! Aabutin na naman sya ng ring rust pag ganyan. :thumbsdownsmiley: Sir I don't think its a mystery... Mark Munoz will Fight instead... Vera and Soz is not in any up coming events so it fair to say...no cover up or what so ever... Speaking of rust... as long as he keeps in training even in mild level only and does sparring even on once a week basis only is enough to avoid accumulating to much rust. Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 mystery pagkawala ni Vera sa UFC 102 card weird. wala na nga si brandon sa fight card sa ufc.com, pero there hasn't been any reports from all the news sites. Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 baka Dana really wants Brandon to fight Matt Hamill Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 baka Dana really wants Brandon to fight Matt Hamill actually, Hamill was pulled off the fight because he suffered a knee injury, that's why Soz was tapped as a replacement. i haven't seen any news of the fight being scratched completely. it's still part of the complete fight card on all the news sites, but the weird thing is it's not on UFC.com's fight card list.

dragonei Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 All of a sudden si steroid faced assasin ang most hated figure right now in MMA. A couple of weeks ago it was Brock Lesnar hehehe. Its probably not just him who is on the juice. Tim Sylvia and Royce Gracie I believe have also been in the same controversy. I believe if athletic commissions will do off comepetition random testing they will be able to find more atheletes who will test positive for illegal substances. What they usually do is time their intake of roids, in such a way that it will be off their system once testing will commensce. Actually, most athelete take roids not to increase muscle mass, but to actually help dealing with the pain they have to go trough with training. But like Tito Ortiz said, there is really just no substitute for hard work Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Still, Vadim Finkelchtein, Emelianenko’s manager and M-1 Global president, clings to the idea that the Russian’s involvement with the UFC will only come through co-promotional efforts. ^^ This will never happen. And I hope UFC don't co-promote their brand just to get Fedor. Quote Link to comment

boydapa11 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 may pinoy pa ba sa UFC aside vera? Quote Link to comment
El Chapo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ayos kaya pala tinangal muna kasi nawala si The Hammer. Panay pinoy kasi pinapalaban kay Mat, pagkakataon sana ni Vera irevenge pagkatalo ng mga Pinoy :heh: Quote Link to comment
dragonei Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Couture VS Noguiera - Both fighters are trying to recover from a loss. And hopefully the winner gets a crack at Lesnar. If couture cant shine on this one, its probably the end of the road for him. Hed be compiling 10 loses, which is so to say half of his win. BUT oh well, he never ceases to surpirse fight fans.
