Guys. When ba showing? Is this a regular weekly?

 

dude, unfortunately nde sya regularly shown.

 

Yung mga main events lang ang napapanood natin.

 

Can't wait for the Iceman and Rampage to get it on the octagon!!! :cool:

[Larry]

that's why im wondering how the f#&k was he able to walk!

 

it looked ugly but I bet nothing was broken and it was just a sprain.

 

cro cop just didn't anticipate Gonzaga throwing a high one..

 

I wouldn't have too, who expects high kicks from a BJJ'er?

 

but i doubt it if hes still gonna be the same as before for sure something broke in there

 

did you see the look on Crocop's face when he came to, I bet he was thinking of retirement right then and there (on that note I bet Dana White was thinking of suicide when his best A-List fighter gets brutally owned by a B-Level fighter)

 

maybe he respects gonzaga's power?

 

I doubt

 

gonzaga had a mediocre fight before this, crocop obviously judged him from that fight and took him lightly.

 

 

Guys. When ba showing? Is this a regular weekly?

 

it's not a weekly thing, but everytime there's a UFC it's shown here, so just check around the UFC schedule so you'll anticipate this.

 

Tanong ko lang mga tol, nung balita na kay Fedor. I heard binili ng UFC ang pride.. Kasama ba sya na lumipat sa UFC..

 

AFAIK Fedor is still with Pride and is not part of the Pride exodus to the UFC.

 

With Zuffa owning both though we can expect Fedor to matchup against some of the UFC's best. there has been talk of an MMA Super Bowl with the top fighters from each promotion to face each other annually.

 

 

Man you really don't know what's gonna happen in MMA, anyone can be beat by anyone, only Fedor remains consistent.

 

I hope Mino does better than Crocop in the UFC.

i bet dana white is thinking deeply right now

 

and if rampage loses to liddell, the ufc guys will get their payback against the pride boys

[the_joker]

hindi sa lahat ng laban ay maganda ang laro mo, nagkataon lang masama ang laro ni cro-cop nung gabing yun... kung mapapansin nyo, isang sipa lang pinakawalan ni cro-cop, and usually sya ang aggressor, ni hindi nga sya sumusuntok kay gonzaga... parang wala sya sa sarili nung laban na yun hehehe

Interview with Crocop

 

translated from a croation newspaper:

 

 

Although the KO he suffered looked deadly, Mirko's head doesn't hurt him. But, he is having problems with a swollen right ankle. "I won't be doing anything for 2 weeks, won't even drink vitamins and proteins. I have to clean up my organism. Full of spite, I wanted to train the same evening I got back to Croatia, but I know it would be contraproductive", Mirko says.

 

He is feeling guilty for letting down his fans, especially those who came to Manchester to support him. And he doesn't care about those who took pleasure in his calvary. "I don't have to justify myself to anyone. Besides being an amateur boxer for 2 years, thus being paid trips to a few tournaments, the country's sport system didn't invest in me. I am my own investment."He doesn't have an excuse for his bad performance. He can't even explain what happened to him. Although, he can manage to describe the state he was in.

"I don't have an alibi. It happens in cycles to me. It looks like I blew myself out after winning the Pride OWGP belt.

 

I wasn't happy even with my first UFC performance. This time I also didn't decide to engage an exchange of punches. I didn't have warrior spirit in me. I was lost." He adds that besides no initiative, he also didn't have a strategy. "All of that didn't have anything to do with the quality of my preparations and the shape I was in, but it had to do with my focus on the fight and my opponent. Before the fight I was nervous, I was thinking about all sorts of stupid things, I was just in a bad state. Unfortunately, I seem to be that type. I need a rough wake-up call in order to focus again."

 

He says he didn't even see the high-kick:

"After 3 or 4 elbows to the temple, I had blurry vision when I stood up."

Mirko is announcing changes in his training session. He is going to introduce elbows and elbow defence, which wasn't present in Pride. "I'm not used to elbows, but that's my problem. I'm also goint to do exercises for my injured ankles."

 

 

 

 

 

Croatian fighter Mirko Cro Cop is healing consequences of a hard defeat to Gabriel Gonzaga in the UFC 70 tournament in Manchester, Great Britain. Shocking pictures of unconscious Cro Cop lying in the cage looked unreal since we were used to see exactly the opposite ones for years.

Mirko had similar experiences with Kevin Randleman in Pride and Michael McDonald in K-1. He lost by KO to both of them [that's not true, although it says so in the article], and both times he succeeded to comeback to the top. Although his charisma got seriously hurt, if not destroyed, Mirko claims he has the motivation and strength for a new comeback.

 

Q: Do you feel any health consequences from Manchester episode?

A: I don't have headaches, nor any visible consequences from Gonzaga's high-kick. If it weren't for the pain in the right ankle, I'd already be training. However, I have to passively rest for two weeks. The ankle is swollen, but I don't think anything is broken, otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk. Still, I'll go to see a doctor one of these days and have it scanned."

 

Q: You seemed absent in the cage?

A: I wasn't myself against Gonzaga. I just couldn't decide to begin an exchange of punches, to go forward. Something similar happened to me in my last fight vs. Sanchez, but I still won that fight. These things happen to me in cycles. First I learn a lesson in the ring, then I go wild and win in streaks. However, there are no alibies for this defeat, and I am not looking for any.

 

Q: What determined the outcome?

A: Gonzaga's elbows to my temple. When I got up, my vision was blurry and I didn't even see that right high-kick.

 

Q: Did you make any mistakes in the preparation for the fight?

A: The preparations were great and are not the problem. Right before the fight I was apathetic, no good, couldn't focus and I fought without any strategy.

 

Q: What will your future in the UFC look like?

A: I will definitely come back stronger. It's out of place to talk about the belt, but I will respect the contract. Of course, provided there are no new injuries. However, I don't know what could make me fight more after I work off the remaining 4 fights.

 

Q: When can we expect you back in the ring?

A: I believe I'll fight again in the UFC at the end of August or beginning of September. I expect to get a chance to rematch Gonzaga. Thanks to everyone who came to Manchester for me, and all who called me wishing me good luck. I got more than 200 calls and I couldn't answer everyone.

the elbows, that explains it

 

he's being pounded right from the start

 

and that ankle looks terrible! dang!

[_eRon_]

well you can't take anything away from gonzaga, he played out his game plan against cro cop & won, cro cop underestimated him and lost, gonzaga deserves his title shot against couture..

 

as for the liddell-jackson match, i'm going for a k.o. by liddell on rampage

Sean Sherk Responds to Floyd Mayweather

 

Full interview here

 

"RS: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. came out the last couple weeks completely bashing the UFC and stating that any boxer would demolish a UFC fighter in the cage. Dana White (UFC President) came back at Mayweather and named you as the guy who he'd put Mayweather up against, and that you would handle him no problem. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?

 

Sean: Well, you know honestly in a boxing match, of course he'd beat me in a boxing match. In an MMA fight, he would be in for a beating. I mean, he's not going to knock me out with one punch; I've got a hard head and have been boxing for 13 years so it's not like I don't know how to box. So, he'd have to land a lot of punches to stop me from taking him down, and me being one of the best wrestlers in the sport, there's no way he could stop me from taking him down.

 

I don't think that fight would last longer than a minute, to be honest with you. And I don't think he should be talking about something that he can't back up, because I'll fight him tomorrow. I literally would, if they called and asked me to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. tomorrow, it's done. He's not going to fight me though, and he's just running his mouth. I don't really respect that a whole lot.

 

RS: It seems like a lot of boxers are starting to fear the rise of MMA by the way they keep speaking out against it. Do you think MMA has taken over?

 

Sean: Well it has, the numbers for the UFC are absolutely phenomenal. The numbers are unbelievable, and it's only getting bigger. A fight with me and Mayweather would obviously draw all the boxing fans, and after they see what happens to Floyd they would immediately jump on the UFC bandwagon and say "hey, what the hell are we watching boxing for". So it's a losing situation for boxing."

the pride boys have been getting their a$$es kicked by the UFC boys as of late

 

Heath Herring

Fabricio Werdum

Crocop

 

^ Gomi too, when Nick Diaz caught him in a gogoplata in PRIDE 33.. well, Diaz really ain't with the UFC anymore pero he made his name there, so pwede na cguro iconsider yun..

 

now as far as Mayweather goes, cguro it would be better to pit him against someone on the edge of being called "elite" in MMA, para completely na mapahiya xa with what he said.. it'll be UFC 1 all over again, and i won't be the only one laughing at Floyd when he gets his a** handed to him in an MMA fight.. :evil:

I would assault her so violently that she would have no choice but to put me in a triangle to choke me out.

 

Then I would die happy.
