JustSmile=) Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nurmagomedov now has a fight, against Rafael dos Anjos.. wrestling vs jitz anyone? Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is back in the UFC in his right weight class. A guy who has a walking weight of 225lbs should not fight at 170. That was just insane how he would cut almost 60lbs to make that weight. Let's see how he does against Phil Davis' wrestling. Quote Link to comment

Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. While Silva was not directly named in the report, sources close to the situation confirmed to Sherdog.com that it was the UFC light heavyweight who was involved in the SWAT standoff. According to news station South Florida 6 NBC, the suspect was taken into custody at 11:15 p.m. ET. The suspect allegedly walked into the Pablo Popovitch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center at 777 E. Oakland Park Blvd at approximately 7:45 p.m. ET, made unspecified threats and left. No one at the school was injured, investigators told the Sun-Sentinel, but NBC 6 South Florida reports the suspect was armed at the time. The suspect later went to the 2000 block of Coral Heights Court and locked himself inside his home. Silva, who holds his fight camps with the Blackzilians team, has been booked to square off with Ovince St. Preux at UFC 171 in Dallas on March 15. The Brazilian last competed at UFC Fight Night 29 in October, taking a unanimous decision over Matt Hamill. -----There are unconfirmed reports that thiago walked in packing an AK-47 looking to k*ll Pablo Popovitch. Apparently, Pablo is hooking up with Thiago's wife who trains at the center, Thiago is looking to rectify this violation of the bro code. Edited February 7, 2014 by Larry Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 That situation is just sad, he let his anger get the best of him. He told some reporters that his wife wanted his house and his money, well Thiago, you should not worry about that anymore. And he has attempted murder charged to him and no bail. Oh I guess it's a no brainer that UFC already terminated his contract. Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 McMann x Rousey who you got? it's undefeated olympian vs. undefeated olympian should be good. If McMann can shoot first and get Ronda down for GnP win, she takes this IMO Quote Link to comment
bombsquadboy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) looking at mcmanns previous fights, especially the Baszler fight, I'd have to go for Rousey. Rousey is more effective at throwing and submitting. But who knows, Mcmann's wrestling background may just be the answer to Rousey's style. Mcmann uses too much brute strength even when taking down her opponents. Mcmann has too much holes. IMHO she lost the Baszler fight. Rousey has more finess and is less open. I'm more interested in Mcmann vs Cyborg. But even then Cyborg will knock her out cold. Edited February 21, 2014 by bombsquadboy Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Wow Demian Maia maybe in a fight of the night. Who would've thought. Fantastic fight. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Early stoppage.. bring in Cat Zingano Edited February 23, 2014 by G_sKiLLz Quote Link to comment
bombsquadboy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) taeng main event yun...sabi na eh. The fight ended too early but the referee made the right call. Both hands were not protecting her head. Kung hindi tinigil yun at natuloy ung pagtayo ni Mcmann, knee to the head ang aabutin niya. Edited February 23, 2014 by bombsquadboy Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 bullshit stoppage Sara was getting up when Herb stepped in, it's a title fight they should be given more leeway than that. that said, it was great seeing Cummings get pwned by DC GIVE US DC X GUSTAFFSON! Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 enson inoue on MMA today vs MMA yesterday (PRIDE NEVER DIE!) Enson Yamato Inoue Well it's become a sport. More money, sponsors, and fame. Back in the day there wasn't any money in the game. So we fought to test ourselves and for honor. In most aspects MMA has not declined it's actually shot up to unbelievable levels. The sprot is bigger than ever and the money is getting very good. As far as a spectators view its great. As far as the fighters that are fighting to make a living, it's great. As far as the fighters who want to get fame, it's awesome. However, the fighters who want to grow spiritually and fight for honor. it's declined. It's hard not to worry about winning or losing when your win bonus is as much as your fight money. It's hard not to worry about winning or losing when your sponsors might cut you if you lose. But most of all because there is so much TV and exposure there is so much more concern for safety. Unfortunately where the warrior in a man starts to kick in, that's usually where fights are stopped now days. Enson Inoue would have never been discovered if he was fighting today. The fights that gave me the biggest props would have been much less dramatic and inspirational if it were to happen today. My Igor fight would have been stopped half way through the round and my fight with Herring would have been stopped when he torqued my arm. All in all, I love how big MMA is today but I'm glad I fought in the day when all you could fight for is your honor. Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) UFC went through a lot just to have Gil stay. In my opinion it' s a smart move, the only division in Bellator worth seeing is LW with Chandler and Alvarez in it. Adding Gil to that would really start a fire so to say. By doing this a lot of fighters are now either pissed or hanging. Hanging: Bendo - after a not so convincing win, who is next for him? Hanging: Aldo - though no contract was signed he agreed to fight Pettis.. Hanging: Grant - sure he is still recovering but when he comes back he may not be the next one to get a title shot Pissed: Thomson - if he would have gotten the nod against Bendo, he should have the title shot, now he is pissed that Gil who a lot of people thought he beat is getting the second crack at UFC gold. He is so pissed that he would even take Aldo if he decides to move up. Edited February 26, 2014 by G_sKiLLz Quote Link to comment
