i'm sorry i just have watched his fights prior to him going UFC and those fukken fights ain't boring

 

as i've mentioned previously in my post when i first quoted you man, check out that Fryklund fight and that Newton fight and tell me if those fights were boring

 

honestly, i'm wayyy fukked in alcohol right now and my pride right now is in it's career high, i didn't watch Silva just fight in the UFC, and his fights prior to that ain't boring, period.

 

booya kid, id you still find it offensive and if you still think i'm still putting words in your mouth then read what i posted and ponder

 

no peace outs or what nots i don't intend to please you, but to just to speak my mind in the forum. if you find this post offensive and it hurts your ego, so be it i can't please everybody

 

just as i thought, u dont understand what i posted. pitiful. by the way his fights are still boring.

This is a forum. Everyone has a right to speak their mind let me just say this though.

 

What's boring to someone maybe exciting to someone else. In a spectator sport like MMA usually to a 'casual' fan, somebody who is not familiar with the intricacies of the game something such as range fighting (as what anderson silva does) or engaging in the clinch and dirty boxing (as what randy couture does) may seem boring. But to some people who actually practice and actively engage in training and competing in MMA it seems just as exciting.

 

People who haven't been there don't know just how much of a chess game the clinch is or just how much detail goes into counter striking and all that stuff that a general fan deems to be boring. Guys you have to understand that this is a forum and each of us who are here come from different backgrounds and thus view the sport of MMA in different ways. There are casual fans and then there are those who are really into it. There are those who are fans but have such a deep admiration of the game that they go out of their way to really analyze it and those who actually train in it. And mind you I am not talking about those posers who just drop by the MMA gym every once in a while to claim they're such badasses I mean those who really train in it, explore all the little details of the game and have even gone in the ring or the cage and know what it's like being in there.

 

So chill out guys. To each his own. and with that let me just say that I do not find Anderson Silva's fights boring... he may have played it safe a couple of times but heck 'flying knees', 'spinning elbows', that switch out he hit on marquardt before he pounded him out (when all the while marquardt was supposed to be the better wrestler), and how he finished Sonnen (though I was rooting for Sonnen) I would not call that stuff boring at all. You can gather a bunch of seasoned muay thai practitioners and ask them if they've ever even landed a flying knee in a fight and some would even say they've been lucky if they've ever landed a single one ever... while Anderson seems to be doing it all the time.

 

Perhaps people are just so tired of him being this dominant that's why they say he has gotten boring. Tell you what I would love to see Jon Fitch go up to 185 and take a shot at him... After what Sonnen just did to him I think Fitch has a legitimate shot at beating him.

i heard batista is traning to try MMA.

I've read that he'll probably oin Strikeforce in his case.

MMA indeed is growing!

 

go Munoz!

[mangkadio]

love the mma facts bro CG!

 

Randy Couture has 19 UFC fights, 15 of them title fights. Since December 1997, only one of his UFC fights has not been for a title.

 

this really makes me wonder.

15 title fights?

while some fighters need streak of wins before they get 1?

if they were in a class i'd say he's the teacher's pet!

don't get me wrong, i love randy, but Toney's got a point when he said

 

"Man, what kind of [expletive] sport is this if y’all call a guy barely over .500 a legend?"

Hehe. well there have been instances where Randy had been given a title shot without getting in line or was only required to fight a couple of fights before being given a title shot. But mind you in these fights remember he wasn't expected to win, he was supposed to be the underdog.

 

Case in point after dropping to the light heavyweight division after losing the heavyweight title to Rico Rodriguez he was asked to fight Chuck Lidell (who was on a tear that time and nobody wanted to fight) and then Tito Ortiz. Nobody expected him to win either one of those fights but he did so and in exceptional fashion.

 

When he came back to heavyweight on the other hand, he was immediately granted a title shot by Dana against Tim Sylvia and again he wasn't expected to win but he did in a 5 round domination of the former champion. Yeah he might have been given somewhat of a pass at the title a couple of times during his illustrious career but I think it is due to the respect that he has earned over the years for always seeming to come out on top despite all types of adversity.

 

James Toney the way he keeps running his mouth I hope he gets schooled by the Natural come the next UFC.

Having said this, do you think that Fitch has a shot of dethroning GSP?
