Mixed Martial Arts

[pogi1119]

The issue of fight control versus dishing out physical damage is still not clear cut in terms of judging in the UFC. For me Vera-Couture was similar to Rua-Machida. UFC needs to "have a talk with the judges" on the parameters.

 

I'd like to see Vera at a 100% potential from his current 70%, as so he claims. He needs to be 100% to beat Machida or Rua. At this time. I even see him having a chance against "The Spider" (MW)

 

Anybody on the Kim COUTURE vs Kerry VERA fight this week? IMO, Kim does not stand a chance

sayang si vera, full of potentials pero when it comes to very important fights that can elevate his status as a figther lagi na lang sya kinakapos, di ko tuloy malaman if minalas ba o kung ano.

 

vs tim (broken hand)

vs werdum (premature tko)

vs jardine (split D)

vs randy (submission via "hugs")

 

 

lipat kaya ng camp? jacksons maybe?

[El Chapo]

Vera vs Forest then Couture vs Ortiz II or III?

[uaeboy25]

langya talo eh he did more damaging moves. couture only did is control vera's agression stop him buy hugging. un ang nakita ng judge. ehto ung reason bakit mas kilala ang boxing kesa sa mix martial arts. mas malinaw ang scoring may explanation ang panalo. while sa judge ng mix martial arts, napakahirap iexplain. since madaming sides ng offense ang pwedeng makita.

Randy Couture vs Mark Coleman in the works for UFC 109 on Feb. 6

 

 

A light heavyweight matchup between UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture (17-10 MMA, 14-7 UFC) and Mark Coleman (16-9 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is in the works for UFC 109.

 

Sherdog.com was the first to report that the two former UFC heavyweight champions have verbally agreed to the contest.

 

If signed, the bout will take place on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas.

 

Coleman debuted for the UFC in 1997 and earned the UFC 10 tournament title with wins over Don Frye, Gary Goodridge and Moti Horenstein. "The Hammer" also holds significant career wins over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Allan Goes, Igor Vovchanchyn, Kazuyuki Fujita and Dan Severn.

 

The soon-to-be-44-year-old Coleman left the UFC in 1999, but he returned to the organization in 2009. The Ohio native dropped his first bout to Rua in January, though he earned a unanimous-decision win over "The Ultimate Fighter 1" finalist Stephan Bonnar at July's UFC 100 event.

 

Couture's career briefly overlapped Coleman's after "The Natural" debuted at UFC 13 in 1997. The pair was scheduled to meet at UFC 17 in 1998, but a Couture injury forced the cancellation of the bout.

 

While Couture fought six times outside of the UFC, "Captain America" has spent the majority of his career inside the octagon. Couture fought most recently at this past weekend's UFC 105 event in the U.K., and he earned a hotly contested unanimous decision win over Brandon Vera.

 

The contest is expected to take the co-feature slot on the UFC 109 card, though it could certainly take top billing if Anderson Silva's rehabilitation process prevents a planned contest with Vitor Belfort from taking place.

nga pala, bakit binawi yung ortiz vs coleman?

[geneticfreak]

nga pala, bakit binawi yung ortiz vs coleman?

 

I think the Hammer sustained a major injury in the midst of his training for the fight

 

 

TIME FOR THE ONSLAUGHT This Saturday.

Looks like Brock Lesnar is really sick. He might not be able to compete anymore given his serious condition

[Giancarlo Judge]

Vera won that fight against Couture. Vera though needs to develop his killer's instinct.

205 is Vera's division, Couture had a very hard time getting Vera to the ground and when he did, Vera stood up quickly.

Vera should do well against wrestlers and take down guys in this weight. In the stand up game, Vera would give a lot fighters fits!!!....

after reviewing the fight...it was randy who was the more agressive warrior altho brandon was able to

prevent him from taking him down. in fact, brandon was more successful in the take-down but un-able to bring randy to

submission when he did full-mount. prang kinapos na si brandon ng power punches at that point. lost opportunity ika nga...sayans.

but i still think brandon should have won....

ufc 106 was a great card. lots of great fights.

[geneticfreak]

Koscheck is the Man!!! :thumbsupsmiley: He again showed us why he was a Division 1 All American Wrestler all four years of his college life. Great fight with Anthony Rumble Johnson.

 

Too bad both Sangiao and Caloy Baduria lost their fights to foreign opposition last Saturday at the URCC though.

Michael Bisping vs Wanderlei Silva back on for UFC 110 in Sydney

 

 

Wanderlei Silva has apparently recovered from his recent facial surgery. Michael Bisping has apparently recovered from his devastating knockout loss at the hands of Dan Henderson. "The Axe Murderer" just needed a little time. "The Count" just needed a beatdown of Denis Kang at UFC 105.

 

What does all that mean?

 

Well for starters, it means that Wandy and the Brit are once again in talks to hook 'em up in a 185-pound brawl for the upcoming UFC 110 fight card, tentatively scheduled for the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21, 2010, according to multiple reports (Fighters Only and Canadian Press).

 

Silva was originally being paired up with Yoshihiro Akiyama, but UFC President Dana White became increasingly disinterested in the sexiness of his main event, even talking about a change in headliners for the promotion's debut "down under" as recently as last Saturday.

 

Star-divide

 

It could be a very big test for both fighters -- and a pretty clear indication of who's still in the hunt for a future division title shot.

 

Even though Silva has lost five of his last six fights, he's an extremely aggressive and dangerous fighter who is capable of ending things early. In fact, "The Axe Murderer" has a technical knockout percentage of more than 70 in his 43 professional mixed martial arts bouts.

 

He'll likely look to up that "Count" in a potential bout against Bisping ... but that won't be confirmed until both men put pen to paper.

 

Stay tuned.

 

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre is rumored to headline UFC 110 opposite Dan Hardy; however, no official announcements regarding the promotion's first trip to Australia have been made at this time.

 

As always, keep it locked in to MMAmania.com for more updates on this still-developing fight card.
