Larry Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I still feel bad for Anderson, a really stellar career derailed by a freak accident. Not to take anything from Weidman, Longo (Weidman's trainer) specifically said that they'd work on checking leg kicks after AndersonXWeidman 1, and work on it they did. The move is called "destruction" in JKD circles, it involves checking the shin with your knee, to make your opponent think twice about throwing those, it's not, however, designed to break legs, it hurts a lot though. What happened was very unfortunate, and reminded me a lot of Corey Hill in a similar incident. Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 not a big fan of weidman . lucky kid vitor belfort will kick his ass soon Probably. That is if Vitor can fight in the US. There is a reason why Vitor's fight are mostly held in Brazil. Quote Link to comment
Robo Cop Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 get well soon anderson silva Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Probably. That is if Vitor can fight in the US. There is a reason why Vitor's fight are mostly held in Brazil. it will most likely be in Vegas, either in May or June 2014 he'll probably get an exemption for his TRT use from the NSAC, if Sonnen can get one, I don't see why Vitor won't be able to acquire a TUE also Quote Link to comment

Vitor tested positive for 4 types of anabolic steroids back in 2006 which will present difficulties to him getting a license. If ever he does he will be closely monitored in my opinion. Vitor's TRT level have been known to be INSANELY high. If he has a disease like he says then 2:1 level high enough. But he is known to reach levels of 6:1. Why would you need to have 6 times the level of a normal testosterone level unless you plan to use it as an advantage? Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 well 6:1 is the limit in Nevada, so the NSAC clearly doesn't see a 6:1 ratio as an advantage. his previous use will give him problems for sure, but the UFC needs this fight to happen in Las Vegas. With GSP and Silva out, the UFC has lost a lot of star power. Chris Weidman versus somebody that a lot of people won't recognize simply won't cut it. They will lose a lot of money if they do the fight somewhere else. Quote Link to comment

With their current champs, Bones and Cain are the only big draws, but they are nowhere near what Anderson and Georges can pull. Btw, Cruz vacates BW title, this makes Barao the undisputed champ and will now face Faber on UFC 169 for the title. Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well it looks like vitor's chances of fighting in Las Vegas just became brighter. Keith Kizer just resigned from the NSAC Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I love the fact how Nate Diaz proclaims that he and Gilbert Melendez are the best two LW in the world yet both of them are opting out of a fight with Nurmagomedov. Nate tweeted that he did not turn down a fight with Nurmagomedov yet he did not say to make the fight happen which is unlike Diaz brothers attitude. Maybe he does not want to get ragdolled again like what Rory did to him. Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 lol @ khabib 20 wins against who? The only person notable on that list is Gleison Tibau, and that was via decision. seriously don't get the hype for Kahbib. Nate turned down the fight because of the money, he was getting a huge paycut, and not because it's Kahbib. hence the tweet from Diaz "F U pay me!" Kahbib is nowhere in the league of Gilbert and Nate. that's why those two won't fight him. Melendez has wins over Diego Sanchez, Masvidal, Josh Thomson (twice), Kawajiri, Clay Guida. Nate has wins over, Cowboy Cerrone, Gray Maynard, Takanori Gomi, Marcus Davis, Rory Markham These two faced a who's who of the UFC 155 division. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ^ In my opinion Tavares and Healy are more credible opponent than an oversized LW like Tibau. Also, Nate's manager said they negotiated to have Nate's contract redone. I think it's not a paycut but a pay raise that Nate want. Being 1-2 in your last 3 fights does not give him that right. Anyway, I am hoping that Nate just shut up and accept the fight and prove every doubter wrong. Talking about Tibau, whatever happened to his ATT teammate Thiago Alves? Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 last I heard he was looking for a fight in UFC 171 Quote Link to comment
