btw, anyone here knows Pekiti Tirsia Kali?

sa may Quiapo yung gym ni Vasquez sir, kaso Doce Pares yun, medyo malapit-lapit naman sa Pekiti Tirsia sir

[overman]

This makes Velasquez the first Mexican world heavyweight champion in a combat sport. I think he'd stop Dos Santos via ground and pound when they meet. I expected Cain to win over Lesnar coz of his speed. If Dana grants Shields a shot at the title, this would be unfair for guys like Fitch and Condit.

 

Dude check out Shield's recent record unbeaten since 02005-11-122005-11-12 and he defeated legitimate opponents

Well in MMA, they say you're only as good as your last fight especially in the UFC. Even with an impressive record, his last appearance was very lacklustered. Do you think his last fight is of title fight caliber? Didn't seem to be one IMO. An impressive win would propel him to face GSP but not his victory against Kampmann.

[kuya willie]

Shields is OK, i would rather see him fight GSP than a Fitch Rematch, Jon fitch is so boring he makes Jake Shield fights exciting,hehehehe

getting back to 170 after fighting for championships at 185 took its toll probably sir. i wasn't impressed with Kampmann either, if he was the badass he claimed he was he should've ko'ed Shields when he had the chance...

[JustSmile=)]

^ ^ ^

 

Maybe Kampmann was trying to earn a jiu jitsu blackbelt (maybe he is already, I did not check) by submitting Shields.. He was trying desperately to do that when its quite obvious that he has an advantage on the stand-up..

UFC 122 Picks

 

Nate Marquardt

Jorge Rivera

Dennis Siver

Amir Sadollah

Krzysztof Soszynski

[geneticfreak]

Been a while since I posted. Big combat Sports Weekend coming up.

 

Sat Nov 13th is URCC 18: Relentless. My good friend and teammate Jerry Legaspi is featured against Submission Sports Philippines' BJJ Purple Belt Froilan Sarenas (who I had the privilege of meeting in the FFC cage myself back in 2006). Froi's one of the very best grapplers we got in the country but Jerry's a veteran who's got knockout power in his punches. Also my muay thai coach Kru Sulpiano Laurio is featured in the opener against veteran Onyok Trasmonte who was also with submission sports philippines (until recently I think).

 

Nov 14th of course is Pacman-Margarito day and we all know who were rooting for in this one. And UFC 122 I like Okami over Marquardt in the main event. I hope he can replicate how Chael Sonnen was able to basically shut him down (I know he had been training right after he lost to Sonnen in a similar number one contender type match). As for the co-main event I'm picking Jorge Rivera over Sakara. Sakara's more technical but Jorge has shown back in the past he has more heart. Remember how Sakara simply faded after dominating a similarly styled fighter Drew Mcfedries after dominating him during the earlier stages of their matchup.

sir maganda ang assessment mo sa marquardt okami fight.. ano ang basa mo sa rampage machida fight?

sa pagkakaalm ko chief blackbelt na ata sa BJJ si Kampmann, nadala lang siguro siya ng bugso ng damdamin na subukang ma-submit si Shields... may mga fighters talaga sigurong ganun tipong si Jorge Gurgel matinding BJJ Blackbelt kaso kapag striker ang kalaban nya makikipag sabayan siyang nakatayo at hindi mag ta-takedown.

boss GF! kamusta sir?

tinalo mo si Froi Sarenas diba?

[geneticfreak]

sir maganda ang assessment mo sa marquardt okami fight.. ano ang basa mo sa rampage machida fight?

 

Well it's hard to say. It all depends on how Machida's reacts to getting his very first loss. If we take the 'first' loss factor out of the equation though I'd still go with Machida on this one. Rampage has one punch KO power however that won't matter if he can't hit him. I also doubt if he is 'fast' enough to secure him in a clinch long enough to take him down.

 

@chief riceboi: Froi granted me my only MMA loss back in '06 via rear naked choke. I unfortunately came into that fight simply as a wrestler back then with lil striking and almost zero jiu jitsu. =p eto ok naman. we worked both Jerry and Kru Laurio exceptionally hard for their fights on saturday I hope some of you guys can come see them in action.

Tito Ortiz vs Antonio Rogerio Noguiera possible for Spring 2011

 

Maybe things aren't that "Bad" for the "Boy" from Huntington Beach after all.

 

The gang down at Tatame is reporting that Tito Ortiz will get yet another chance to find his first UFC win in over four years when he tangles with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in early 2011.

 

From Lil' Nog:

 

"I've heard some rumors of this fight, but there’s nothing signed. In my last fight they said about Rampage and they changed to

Ryan Bader

."

 

Matt Hamill dropped the "Hammer" on Ortiz, his former teacher, back at UFC 121 on Oct. 23 in Anaheim. The unanimous decision loss pushed "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy's" record to 0-4-1 over his last five fights and the former light heavyweight champion has continued to look less effective in each outing.

 

http://cdn1.sbnation.com/images/blog/star-divide.v5e9d7f1.jpg

 

Nogueira is also coming off a defeat, a unanimous decision to surging division contender Ryan Bader at UFC 119 back in September. While the loss snapped a seven-fight winning streak, Rogerio was criticized for what was perceived as a poor showing in a split decision win over Jason Brilz at UFC 114 last May.

 

Neither fighter has anything to prove in terms of their accomplishments in the sport of mixed martial arts, but they may have a lot to prove to the fans if they expect to be considered competitive in the promotion's stacked 205-pound weight class.

 

Anyone want to lay odds on the early favorite in this one? Nogueira -185?

 

Stay tuned to <a href="http://mmamania.com/" target="_blank">MMAmania.com for more information on this developing report as it becomes available.

 

 

 

 

RIP Tito, your career ends here...

[JustSmile=)]

Looks like Dana is fast forwarding Tito's retirement..

 

If I'm not mistaken this will be Tito's 3rd fight after he resigned with UFC for a 6-fight contract. I am not sure that Dana will cut Tito but I also doubt that Tito will be given another fight after he loses this one.

Remarks:

 

Haven't slept much at all -- went straight from watching the URCC at A.venue (finished just past midnight) to a friends house to watch the UFC ppv live. =p

 

The commissions really ought to find a better way to score closely competed contests such as the Marquardt - Okami fight. I don't think the 10 point must scoring system does justice to some fights especially those which go to razor thin decisions such as this one.

 

Great fight between our very own Sulpiano Laurio and Onyok Trasmonte that's exactly how you nullify someone with great kicks. You catch and make takedowns out of em.

 

Too bad Jerry came out on the short end against Sarenas he clearly had him hurt for a while with a right straight I thought he should have gone berserk when he had him temporarily stunned. Oh well he'll fight another day.

 

Impressive submission wins by Jessie Rafols (who has now emerged as having a complete mma game) and 'the kid' Alvin Ramirez. If there were only awards for submission of the night in the URCC I think these two would have certainly shared the honor.

 

Nate Flores from Saipan was just clearly overmatched physically by the much bigger and stronger Eric Kelly.

 

Lastly... I really think 5'6 or 5'7 heavyweights should think about droppin down to a lower weight class. They are just clearly overmatched at heavyweight against these legit heavies like Brooks and Igor Subora. (I'm not sure what height current URCC heavyweight champ Marcus Valda is though I think he's 5'11)

 

Now to get some breakfast and get some Pacquiao Margarito. Go Pacman!!!
