JackEndRoll Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Junior Dos Santos was a beast in beating Frank Mir. His punching power is really awesome. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Erik Koch will be fighting Jose Aldo By the way, Thiago Silva is withdrawing from UFC 149. Why? This answers both. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I thought that this thread was renamed. Way to resurrect a dead (the other MMA) thread... More to the point, BJ Penn is fighting again, but I'd pick Rory in this for sure. Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks Brod joseph1 Quote Link to comment
JackEndRoll Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Jon Bones Jones is a beast! I hope Anderson Silva will step up and face him. That will be awesome. Quote Link to comment

SaintPeter5858 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's time for Filipinos to love this sports Quote Link to comment
BrightestStar Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Now that Pacman is reaching retirement age, MMA will soon k*ll boxing. Quote Link to comment
SweetSexyLOVER Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Filipinos are known to be world class punchers. That's also the talent of Dos Santos. So Filipinos can dominate MMA too. Quote Link to comment
Headroom Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 My apologies if this is off topic but it is martial arts related - are there any Kung Fu schools around Manila - Makati in particular - that anyone knows of? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Filipinos are known to be world class punchers. That's also the talent of Dos Santos. So Filipinos can dominate MMA too. I beg to disagree. While JDS (and to your point, a lot of Pinoy trained fighters) are primarily boxers offensively, Mixed Martial Artists need focused training on the other aspects to truly dominate. What is lacking in the Philippines and some other regions is a true grappling base. @ modsAny chance of merging this with the MMA Talk thread just so it does not become another post count farm? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
kuya willie Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 shogun is gonna murder vera ano pa ba ang hindi nababasag kay brandon vs Jones= broken orbital bonevs Thiago Silva= broken noseVs Marshall= broken armvs Shogun= broken dreams and cut by the UFC nyahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Rory Mcdonald is one of the young and rising stars of the welterweight division. He was seconds away from beating Condit but I'll pick BJ in this one. Of course, I'm being subjective. But I still think BJ has what it takes to beat Mcdonald. His boxing is still one of the best in MMA and so is his jiujitsu. IMHO Penn no longer has that big of a gap in skill as when he first entered years ago. Not as much evolution either, but nonetheless, there is sufficient intrigue in this matchup if and when it happens. On another note, looking forward to bounce back wins by Guida, and Fisher. Perhaps another good win by Camozzi too. More pumped to see the TUF Brazil finale though... Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 ^ Blech! Seriously... There just are fighters I should not root for... Back on topic, TUF Brazil Finale today looks way more interesting than yesterday's FX event. Having followed the TUF Brazil series, there really seems to be a huge difference between fighters from there compared to TUF US contestants skill and attitude wise. Needless to say, I've always been a fan of the South Americans ever since watching Royce in the first UFC tournament. Hoping to see great fights and wins from: ArantesViniaBodaoWolverinePe de ChumboDammVerdumMutanteFranklin Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Brutal loss by Roger Huerta in One FC 4.. a one time lightweight prospect with the brightest future, made some wrong decisions and now probably retired after the soccer kick loss to Zoro Moreira.. Here is the video, just brutal soccer kick to the head.. Moreira vs Huerta in One FC 4 Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) ^ I think this is another case of the game evolving much faster than the fighter. On another note... Hope the rest can hear this because this adds another dimension to 148. Anderson Silva is pissed (yeah I'm picking Silva in this one)! Silva did not fight well when angry against Demian Maia, but let's see what happens this time. Edited June 26, 2012 by joseph1 Quote Link to comment
