sujiro Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) what if Machida losses to Randy? should Randy be in the title mix? since he defeated a former champ. it would be crazy, if Randy fights Jones for the title.. Edited March 24, 2011 by sujiro Quote Link to comment
riceb0i Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 the possibility of Randy beating Lyoto for me is bleak... stylistically Machida's style is anti-wrestling/dirty boxingit would really be entertaining if Randy is able to keep Lyoto or even get Lyoto in the clinch, and takedown defense wise Machida has a damn good base and is really hard to take down... even Nakamura a judoka had trouble taking him down, and then them wrestlers like Rashad, Page, Tito had difficulty taking him down. Cap doesn't have the KO power to down Machida but heck it's MMA and we might be in for a surprise Quote Link to comment
sujiro Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 yup..MMA is very unpredictable..and you can never discount a guy like Couture.he is been an underdog in all of his fights, yet he still manages to win.. win or lose,im a big Couture fan, but i hope Machida keeps on winning so he can challege Jones asap.but, it will take time since he came from back-to-back losses..

Olympus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 For Couture to beat Machida, he must be able cut corners effectively and pin machida against the cage and rough him up in the clinch...It will also be a wise move for Randy to push the pace and test the gas tank of Lyoto Quote Link to comment
maddromeo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) hey guys, just noticed this..i am not discrediting the win of Jones, but it seems that sometimes he is going beyond the rules.though this didnt change the outcome of the fight..cant find the gifs, but if you rewatched it you can see what im talking about. lists of fouls under the unified rules#1.Butting with the Head1st round - 25 seconds remaining. Jones headbutt the stomach of Shogun #12. Throat strikes of any kind1st round - 2:29. Jones elbowed the throat of Rua1st round - 2 seconds remaining hit again the throat of Shogun2nd round - 30 seconds remaining, elbowed again the throat. Herb Dean, warned him about that.2nd round - 13 seconds remaining, elbowed again True... Jones did some illegal strikes, same as the the Hammil fight 12-6 elbows. He even knee'd Rua while one knee was down. After that Shogun was never the same... thou I still believe Jones would have beat Shogun but not that fast, he made it looked so easy! That Jackson camp is something... "magulang" rin tlga! Hehe... By the way UFC bought Strikeforce... Big fights coming!!! Next in line Bellator! Hahaha...

riceb0i Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 i still think Brandon Vera won that fight against Randy Couture though... Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Wow! That was the first time I saw a twister submission! Looks like a modified spine crank.. Awesome job by the Korean Zombie! If that does not win submission of the night, I don't know what will.. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Rumble Johnson imposed his wrestling on Hardy.. GSP showed everybody how to beat Hardy and now even a striker will take Hardy down.. Too bad for him.. Now who can he beat in WW? Main event na.. Go Phil Davis! Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Key word of the night - Wrestling! Phil Davis won using wrestling as well.. Just a thought, lets see the current UFC champs: HW: Cain VelasquezLHW: Jon JonesMW: Anderson SilvaWW: GSPLW: Frankie EdgarFW: Jose AldoBW: Dominick Cruz From those bunch only Anderson Silva and Jose Aldo does not use wrestling. Of course Anderson would have lost if he had not caught Chael. Aldo, on the other hand has (in my opinion) Chad Mendes as a serious contender which is also a wrestler. My point?

CorpseGrinder Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) wow, Phil Davis is really making a name in the lhw division. i wanna see him fight a good wrestler next time that can exploit his skills. what the f#&k happen to dan hardy? after his loss to gsp, his career was on a downward spiral. is that a crippler crossface? impressive submission win by zombie.

By the way UFC bought Strikeforce... Big fights coming!!! Next in line Bellator! Hahaha... i dont remember he kneed Rua while he was down..maybe ur talking about the shin-to-the-face while Rua's left arm is still down..nsa GIF ko ata yun sa taas..pro, im not sure about that, kc patayo na rin c Shogun nun.. and i wonder why the throat strikes didnt get any publicity.he did it a number of times..it seems that Jones uses illegal strikes when the things didnt goes his ways..kya nga yung appeal nila sa DQ against the Hamill fight didnt materialize..he cant finish Hamill on that fight, kya natempt xa mag 12-6 elbows..the same with Shogun fight, though the throat strikes didnt do any significant damage..Jones is amazing, but i hope he can correct his actions..overhyped pa rin xa..he's talented but he beat the Shogun who isnt 100%..though i doubt if the outcome will be different if Shogun is healthy. i agree that the Jackson camp is testing the rules..
