SevenZeroFive Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 my god, more bad news... it's not within the confines of the UFC, but it's still bad news for MMA as a whole.. MMA Fighter Vasquez In Critical Condition After KO Loss After suffering a knockout loss in an MMA bout at two minutes, 50 seconds of the second round of a recent match against Vince Libardi, fighter Sammy Vasquez is in critical condition. The following are some updates from Sammy's wife Sandra, posted on the TXMMA.com internet forum: Good morning, Sammy really needs your prayers. He is stable, but in very critical condition. As of today, he has been heavily sedated. They do not want him to have any activity, no movement of any kind. It seems his brain is swelling. They are monitoring him very closely. He is on the respirator and he’s keeping his blood pressure at a good range on his own. They have asked that we keep visitors to family only. The doctor said we need to pray for him. Please pray for Sammy and the family. I thank you for your prayers, love and support. God Bless,Sandra And an updated post: This is very difficult for me to write. Sammy had a massive stroke on Friday, the damage is very great. We have contacted LifeGift. Please keep us in your prayers. St. Joseph Hospital the Pavilion4th floor room 2 Love,Sandra Vasquez=================================^^ for some reason, even though Sandra Vasquez's words meant that Sammy Vasquez won't make it, i'm still rooting for him to at least make it out alive. this is the worst thing that has ever happened to the sport, & i'm still hoping against all hope that Sandra is jumping the gun by calling an organ donor center on behalf of his husband.

Olympus Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 War GSP!!!! So what happens next? Winner o GSP-Hughes faces Serra? Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 GSP! GSP! GSP! Loved the Serra quote. Haha! Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Winner o GSP-Hughes faces Serra? Matt has said on his blog that he will push this to become a fight for the interim title. I'm guessing this is because Serra won't be able to defend his title. seems to me that Matt wants to get the belt back and take advantage of the situation with an injured Serra, and an unprepared (hopefully not) GSP. whatever happens, Canada Boy will take it, convincingly. GSP has already shown that he can wrestle, outwrestling Josh Koscheck, and Matt has shown that he can't stand with GSP, nothing's going to change especially now that Matt's older and slower.

clubber_lang Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Just got news that an MMA event will take place on December 9 at the Araneta Coliseum. Saw it in a TV ad... It is "Platinum Ring Of Fire" or something to that effect. Team Shamrock, Team Gracie and team Barnett are said to be the teams with Jeff Monson and Ricco Rodriguez among those slated to appear... Any idea what the hell is this? Quote Link to comment
Capt Spaulding Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 ^ if that is true, expect me to be there. Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 heard about that too but nothing much except that ken shamrock will be there Quote Link to comment
monthy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 From:mmaweekly article A mixed martial arts promotion based out of Las Vegas is starting a new event using a team format with MMA legends as coaches. Platinum Fighting Productions has named its event Ring of Fire – not to be confused with the venerable MMA promotion of the same name based in Denver. PFP announced Royce Gracie, Josh Barnett, Gokor Chivichyan and Ken Shamrock as its first four coaches. Its first event is Ring of Fire, Manila, scheduled to take place Dec. 9 at Araneta Stadium in the Philippines, the home of the historic Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier fight known as “The Thrilla in Manila.” International Fight League commissioner Kurt Otto acknowledged Shamrock’s involvement and confirmed that he is still a coach for IFL as well. Each team will battle in four events to be held in the Philippines, Macau, Japan and China; with the best two teams progressing to the Final Ring of Fire event slated for December 2008. Team Gracie features Cleber Luciano, Jorge Patino, Daniel Serafian, John Marsh and Katrine Alendal. Team Barnett will field Koji Oishi, Yuki Kondo, Renato “Babalu” Sobral, Jeff Monson and Ginele Marquez. Team Gokar includes Karen Darabedyan, August Wallen, Rodney Faverus, Hakim Gouram and Amanda Buckner. Rounding out the field is Team Lion’s Den with Evan Dunham, Kyacey Uscola, Mike Whitehead, Ricco Rodriguez and Tonya Evinger. The Dec. 9 event features Team Barnett versus Team Gokor. -Koji Oshi (Barnett) vs. Karen Darabdeyan (Gokor)-Yuki Kondo (Barnett) vs. August Wallen (Gokor)-Renato “Babalu” Sobral (Barnett) vs. Rodney Faverus (Gokor)-Jeff Monson (Barnett) vs. Hakim Gouram (Gokor)-Ginele Marquez (Barnett) vs. Amanda Buckner (Gokor) Quote Link to comment
clubber_lang Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Could've been better but could've been worse as well... Any idea about the ticket prices? The Araneta Coliseum website has no info yet... So this is where Sobral ended up... Quote Link to comment
MRyoso Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 ricco rodriguez is in the fl as well? matsyushenko is the "main man" in the hw division in the ifl have you guys seen mark kerr without the steroids? kawawa naman Quote Link to comment
hardtohandle Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 So, December 9 is the day for all Filipino MMA fanatics! Its good to know that we will be seeing Babalu strut his stuff... Its such a shame to see a talent go to waste. Another one is Jeff Monson, who made his mark during the more exciting transition period of the UFC... have you guys seen mark kerr without the steroids? kawawa naman How does he look like now? please post some pics...

SevenZeroFive Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 if Ken Shamrock's gonna be in the event, i'm there! it might not be the UFC, but it's still the holy grail for me.. i've always dreamed of an MMA card in the Big Dome, whether it's the URCC or the UFC, but this one's really impressive for a non-UFC event..

monthy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 ay wow, may prices na! mukhang pang general admission lang ako a, hehe. makanood nga! lapit na nito noh, sayang lang dahil mukhang very poorly promoted dahil halos walang may alam! Quote Link to comment
monthy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 How does he look like now? please post some pics... Mataba na! Meron ata sa sherdog dun sa latest fight niya. Re Babalu, mukhang extra racket lang naman niya ito since I read somewhere na he got signed already by another mma org (EliteXC? WEC?) pero mukhang non-exclusive. Sayang talaga kasi very competitive pa rin siya even in the UFC. Mas gusto ko pa siya kaysa sa ilang fighters na binabandera dun like Machida, Bisping, Rashad (zzzzz...) Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 babalu! mwehehehe sarap manood nito para makita si babalu tsaka si kondo! mwehehehe sana may matira pa sa pera ko para maka upper box b man lang ako. Quote Link to comment
hardtohandle Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 HOLYMOTHERf#&kINGCOWOFNEWZEALAND!!! P8400 yung sa ringside?!?!? Anak ng! Thats one payday worth of my salary, grabe pala yun ah. Yung pinakamahal na ticket na binili ko the last time na nanood ako sa Araneta was the INXS concert and its just a penny compared to P8400... I will just pray na konti lang manonood para mura na lang ang benta ng mga scalpers, heheheh! Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR tamago Posted December 1, 2007 MODERATOR Share Posted December 1, 2007 ^ Ok na yung P8,400, dude. When the WWE Raw & Smackdown wrestlers went here, ringside seats cost a little over 10k Quote Link to comment
hardtohandle Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Well, that's just me... Considering the fighters in the card, stiff pa rin yan para sakin, I dont see myself burning P8,000 for that kind of show (unless its a rock concert), siguro I would opt for the upper box and I will have to hook up with the friendly neighborhood scalpers in Araneta, hehehhe! Kapag konti tao dyan, mura ticket sa labas... Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR tamago Posted December 1, 2007 MODERATOR Share Posted December 1, 2007 ^ True. Even if I had the money, I'd go for the lower box area. This should be one hell of a show Quote Link to comment
fatso8 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 papalabas naman pala sa Studio 23 on the same day.. di ko lang sure kung "live". Quote Link to comment
