Wyld Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Lyoto Machida FTW! BJ Penn had to gain weight for this matchup and I think that adversely affected his fight against GSP. Quote Link to comment
overman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 and suddenly the haters become believers... WAR machida i don't think anyone in the LHW division right now can beat the dragon. well, unless a one punch wonder lands in his face and ko the f---- out of him. but then again that is less likely to happen, it is possible but less likely. seriously, to my mind only an excellent wrestler with good bjj can beat this guy and there is none int he LHW. UFC 98 guys Mir vs Donkey KongHuges vs. Serra I'm for Mir and Serra Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 goddamn! it's such a great thing to watch someone who talks a lot of sh1t get the sh1t get smacked out of them GSP totally dominated BJ, in all aspects and ranges of the MMA game. ----- Machida looked great, but I'm still not a fan, he hits really hard though.

kuya willie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Penn Files Complaint Over Vaseline on St-Pierre’s Back BJ Penn has filed a complaint with the Nevada State Athletic Commission after Vaseline was applied to Georges St-Pierre’s back between the second and third rounds of their UFC 94 headliner. During a post-fight appearance on ESPN’s MMA Live St-Pierre explained that one of his trainers applied Vaseline to his face between the first and second rounds then rubbed his back with the same hand between the second and third rounds, accidentally applying some remaining Vaseline to his back. An NSAC official who witnessed the transfer had the Vaseline immediately wiped off with a towel. Little is likely to come of the complaint as St-Pierre was already dominating Penn prior to the incident and the substance was immediately removed, ensuring that it had no effect on the bout’s outcome Quote Link to comment

berserker15 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Quinton Jackson to determine Lyoto Machida's championship fate by Dann Stupp on Feb 01, 2009 at 4:45 am ET Count Lyoto Machida among the many who will watch closely the UFC 96 main event between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Keith Jardine. After all, Machida's potential title shot rests solely on how Jackson fares at the March 7 pay-per-view event in Columbus, Ohio. Following Machida's stunning first-round TKO of previously undefeated Thiago Silva at Saturday's UFC 94 event, UFC President Dana White said the Jackson vs. Jardine fight will determine who gets the next light-heavyweight title shot. If Jackson wins, he get an immediate chance to reclaim his belt, which he lost to Forrest Griffin in 2008. If Jardine wins, though, Machida will get the first shot at recently crowned champion Rashad Evans' belt. Evans won the belt with a third-round TKO of Griffin at UFC 92. (Jackson knocked out Wanderlei Silva at the same event to climb back into the title picture.) "We don't have [Machida] scheduled to fight Rashad next," White said in the post-UFC 94 press conference. "But he's in the mix. He'll probably have a title shot before the end of the year." Machida, long dogged for his propensity to take fights to decision, scored his most meaningful knockout in UFC 94's co-main event. Not only did the TKO prove his ability to finish fights (against a quality opponent), but he also picked up a $65,000 Fight of the Night bonus in the process. White said the fight was a turning point in Machida's career -- and that it mimics the paths many of the UFC's other top fighters have taken. "The thing I said about this kid since the first time I ever saw him is if when you think back to Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell and any of the guys who have been the big stars here the past 10 years, they weren't barn-burners when they first came into the UFC," White said. "It wasn't like highlight reels and excitement. What happens is guys get in the UFC. It takes them a little while. They have to feel like this is their home. They have to start to get the feel for it, get some fights under their belt, and I said when Lyoto gets that, he's going to be very dangerous. "I think he's going to be one of the greatest fighters in MMA, and every time he comes out to fight, he proves it more and more. ... He looks better every time he fights." Machida, who moves to 14-0 with the victory, has now posted six consecutive UFC wins. However, he hasn't posted back-to-back stoppages since the second and third fights of his career, when he defeated former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin and "The Ultimate Fighter 1" runner-up Stephan Bonnar early in their careers. Additionally, from 2004 to 2007, he posted six decision victories in a seven-fight span. Despite the wins, Machida's elusive fighting style often drew the ire of fight fans. UFC 94 marked a new chapter in the Brazilian's career. Soon after sending Silva to the mat, Machida dropped a huge right to knock Silva out cold with just a second remaining in the first round. The TKO victory earned Machida a thunderous round of applause from the sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. "I'm just real happy because every time I come out I try to get better and better and try to improve and finish fights," Machida said through his manager and translator Ed Soares. "It just makes me feel good when I go out there and do the job that I did and the fans are cheering for me. "That's my goal: to please my fans."source: www.mmajunkie.com Quote Link to comment

renegade38 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 GSP rules over The Prodigy. Di talaga kaya ni BJ Penn talunin si GSP. Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 nice my favorite fighter along with royce gracie, couture and sakuraba I love bj penn. I hope he wins, he is pretty old school when he fights. He is more on technique than strength.dude nothing old skool about BJ Penn... he lost becuase GSP was the better fighter in that match, GSP had a better gameplan had better strength and superb wrestling, i slept most of the match becuase i hated to see BJ get dominated, and the bout was so one sided that GSP already one after the 1st, BJ looked out of the fight after the first and then he came back in the 2nd for more punishment... grats to GSP for the win! next up a freaking huge WW like himself... Thiago "The Pitbull" Alves Badtrip talo si Penn! Lakas talaga ni GSP! After Machida KO'd T. Silva! Now Im a believer! Hope he gets hi well deserved title shot against Rashad Evans! Karate is Back! I doubt Machida vs. A.Silva is gonna happen! They are both from Blackhouse! And A. Silva already said he has no plans of staying in the LHW division because he believes the title belongs to Machida! GSP vs. A. Silva is possible! After GSP defends his title to T. Alves! This will be a war! BJ Penn vs. Ken Flo in LW! This is something to watch! Ken Flo has a good chance snatching the title away from Penn! Jon Jones! Got to look out for this one! Only 21 and his 8th mma fight! He completely dominated Bonnar!hehehehe angas ni Lyoto diba? hehehehe although he didn't actually school Silva, but he had Silva down a couple of times and that buzzer beating punch was awesome! hehehe Dana's got this favoritism going with Rampage... Machida's chance for the beltwill depend on how another fighter fares in another fight? that is stupid in my opinion... Lyoto should've gotten his chance after that win... he's 14-0 and he should be the one facing the champ who'sunbeaten as well... even MMA has poltics din talaga tsk tsk tsk... Quote Link to comment
hardtohandle Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) WHAT THE F?!?!?! That boring, hit and run Machida won by knockout in the very first round? May dayaang nangyari! nyaahahahahah! Hahahahaha! I told you, no more decision for the Dragon, breakout game, baby!!! Heheheheh! I'm sure that fight turned a lot of haters into a Machida convert, heheheheh! Magpalista na kayo sa Machida War Wagon, heheheheh! The Official Machida War Wagon: 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10. C'mon, dont be shy! Now is the time to join the warwagon, hehehehe! Oo nga pala, Jon Jones got game! Heheheheh! He just toyed with the American Psycho... Watch out for that kid. He has the makings of a future champion... Come to think of it, two of the three fighters who beat Bonnar became champs (Forrest and Rashad), and Lyoto will definitely become the LHW king in the near future...

SevenZeroFive Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Magpalista na kayo sa Machida War Wagon, heheheheh! Machida War Wagon: 1. SevenZeroFive (shotgun!)2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10. C'mon, dont be shy! Now is the time to join the warwagon, hehehehe! Whomever will still doubt Lyoto, I'll just say what BJ said during UFC Primetime: You want a slap from me? LOL Speaking of UFC Primetime, I'll always remember Troy Mandaloniz (BJ's training partner) saying that all of BJ's training partners are no match for GSP's. Who was with BJ in his camp? Kendall Grove? Justin Mccully? Mandaloniz? BJ's brother JD? Then, who was with GSP during the final days of his camp? Marquardt? Donald Cerrrone? Rashad Freaking Evans? I'll always laugh at Mandaloniz whenever I see him because of what he said. Overall, UFC 94 was an awesone card, for the purist who wants to see technique over brawls. Even though all the fights save for the Machida-Silva fight went to the judges, there were awesome performances throughout the entire card. Fitch re-established himself by dominating Gono, Guida re-established himself by doing the same against Nate Diaz, and Jonny Bones broke out against Bonnar. Bright futures for those 3 guys. And I haven't talked about GSP yet. Oh, & Stun Gun got robbed. Karo lost that fight, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment
