geneticfreak Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sigh. Sa Friday pa papalabas sa Balls yung kakatapos lang na UFC Fight Night. Di bale dalawang tulog na lang yun. Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Man just read Josh Gross column at SI!? It seems that rampage had another "episode" (the first one before his second fight with W. Silva last 2004 and becoming a born again Christian) meaning a mental breakdown! Just as I thought!? Fired Juanito Ibarra as his trainer/manager and the UFC is setting him up for a W. Silva vs. Rampage part 3 this coming Nov. Man this is a fight I always wanna see inside the cage but given Rampages mental state, eventhough he's getting professional help and going to therapies. I mean is he gonna be ready for W. Silva on Nov?! :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
overman Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i hope mir wins.. im a big fan of mir since he he broke tim syla's arm... yan ang tinatawag na arm breaking win.. pero dihado nga sya dito.. pareho sila ok sa jiu jitsu pero syempre big nog has the edge as to stand up many say this is where mir has a chance big nog boxing si mir kenpo karate... pero i think what would determine is mir's conditioning.... by the way, somebody posted na si don fry yung first na all around fighter sa UFC. sorry i beg to disagree si frank shamrock yung considered na prototype ng isang mma fighter... hmmm.. as to new fights parang maganda yung next fight ni lyoto machida kalaban nya yung undefeated din na brazilian i forgot the name.. i think after this match if machida wins. which i think he will, dapat may title fight na sya he defeated many great names already.. rich franklin, bj pen, tito, sokodju... dapat nga sya na no. 1 contender eh hehe Quote Link to comment

As for your comment on who has the advantage standing up between Nog and Frank Mir I actually think they're quite equal. The fact that Mir has a Kenpo Karate background doesn't in my opinion give him any advantage over Nog apart from the fact he maybe a bit better with his kicks than Nog (Nog however has honed his skills with the Brazilian Boxing Team so I think he is better with the hands). Also, between the two I think Nog has the stronger chin, having never been knocked out or even stopped in any of his fights (Fedor couldn't even finish him off) and Mir having been knocked out in the past by Ian "the Machine" Freeman and our very own Brandon Vera. I agree with what you said though about Mir's conditioning. He hasn't been the same since the motorcycle accident and his conditioning (or his lack thereof) might just be the deciding factor in this fight. Quote Link to comment

geneticfreak Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Randy in another movie. Hmmm.. Gee whiz. Well I still hope he considers getting back in the saddle and getting negotiations straight for his "Dream Fight" with Emerlianenko Fedor. He isn't getting any younger and no matter how great he is at staying in shape and keeping up his fighting skill time is still of the essence here. This fight has to happen and I pray that it happens sooner than later coz' it might just be too late for all of us to see the "Best" Randy Couture against the "Best" Fedor. Quote Link to comment

Yup a natural 205 pounder against a natural 155-165 pounder (who just happened to be overweight) is really quite lopsided despite the level of skill in my opinion. And yes he did school Nakamura but he didn't KO him out. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 WOW!! That was my first time to watch that kick from Rory Markham from UFC Fight Night... Awesome kick... Quote Link to comment

reachard Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 guys pinapalabas ba ang Pride sa Cable? anyone knows where to buy Pride or other MMA shows except for UFC? Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 They used to show Pride fights in Solar every Sat. nyt but that was years ago... last time I was in Pinas they have it on pirated Dvd's already that you can buy for 70-80 pesos. Check mo nalang sa mga bilihan ng DVd's! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 T. Silva vs. L. Machida!? All I can say is that Lyoto fights to win, he doesnt look to finish the fight with a KO or sub! He just scores points! Thiago however in his last UFC fights finished everybody by TKO/GnP! War Thiago Silva! Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I finally got to watch the UFC Fight Night last night (had to settle for the re-aired show coz I was still neck deep in work till the weekend). My comments. Kudos to Frankie Edgar for controlling Hermes Franca en route to a unanimous decision victory despite eating some solid shots right at the very end, Again utilizing his base and wrestling skill to neutralize Franca's guard attacks. Brandon looked gassed in the second and third rounds agains Reese Andy. I thought he trying to go for the KO punch or kick early in the first round and that might have caused it, in addition he commented the cut down from 225 to 205 was a lot harder than he initially thought (the dehydration then re-hydration must have drained him) That Rory Markham kick was the stuff of higlight reels. Imagine eating a couple of good shots and producing a head kick (that was right on the side of the head, the "magic button") while in retreat. Joe Rogan was right. Markham makes his UFC debut in spectacular fashion. And last but not the least what else can we say about Anderson Silva that hasn't been said before. Perhaps the best well rounded and pound for pound fighter in the planet today. Though I still say based on the level of competition and longevity that Fedor is still the best pound for pound. All in all quite a nice set of fights for a "FREE" Show from the UFC. We got a lot more to look forward to this Sunday. UFC 87: Seek and Destroy will be on air. On another note. Kudos to Brandon Vera for his shoutout to Quinton Jackson. Nobody knows what state of mind "Rampage" is currently in at least he has a friend in the "Truth". Quote Link to comment
