Mixed Martial Arts

[Edmund Dantes]

 

This promotion kind of reminds me of Bellator who put up a fight card with Ken Shamrock vs Royce Gracie 3. 2 Legendary fighters during their time when MMA was still being introduced. It turned out to be a joke of a fight. Simply because they were trying to hype the fight and generate some form of buzz and interest.

 

If this new promotion is trying to generate interest from people this is the wrong way to go. I won't even be interested in watching this type of circus sideshow where 2 untrained people fight on TV. Ridiculous

 

Yeah I thought true fight fans will say this. Iba naman kasi ang street fighting. Sudden burst of rage sya. Walang technique, walang depensa, basta masaktan mo yun kalaban mo sa kahit anong paraan.

 

Pag sa totoong martial arts competition ang magdadala ng excitement dyan yun totoong technique at skill. Tsaka napakaimportante ng stamina. Yun nga lang one round sa heavy bag nakakahingal na eh. Pano pa kaya pag pwede gumanti sinusuntok mo?

 

Tama ka it will be a circus, pero will not really show what the sport is all about

[Edmund Dantes]

Sana pagkatapos ng laban ay magkaayos na sila. Hindi magandang gawing circus ang MMA.

 

 

Yeah tama ka talaga dyan. Me time kasi na talagang ang tingin sa MMA ay human cockfighting lang. Over time nagevolve sya into a disciplined spectator sport. Kung matutuloy laban, sana pakitaan tayo ng totoong showcase ng skillset nila. otherwise, why charge people to see it? Dami dami dyang gym na kung saan pwede kayo closed door session.

 

At yeah dapat magbati talaga sila pagkatapos. Kaya nga yan minsan ang maganda sa combat sport. Kahit anong anymosity ng magkalaban, pagkatapos, di lang magkakamayan kundi magyayakapan pa. Minsan nga me halik pa, pero walang homo innuendo ito.

 

Not the kind of guy who thinks that violence is the best way to go. But as a guy I understand why some will do this. Nun teenager kami, pag talagang hindi na masettle yun away, one on one lang. Labasan lang ng sama ng loob. Pagkatapos nun manalo matalo wala na dapat away. kung di man magkasundo at least tumigil na kakaksalita ng kung ano ano sa isat isa. Unless gusto nyo magkasakitan nanaman

Salamat sa pag recognize sa statement ko. Buti inalis mo iyong mga orang utan. Dala lang ng inis iyon. The reason why I do not agree with this match up is because it will give casual spectators an idea that anyone with a beef can duke it out in MMA rules, with a major local promoter at that. Parang grudge match na lang. It is also not fair that these 2 clowns will get more promotion than the other guys who have been fighting professionally for a long time. I watched richard las prillas, pinoy montero and edward folayang fight for the URCC because they love the game and not because they want to erase someone's face off their heads. Sayang ang pinaghirapan ng mga fighters na ito kung magiging sideshow lang sila at lahat ng sumunod sa kanila(active pa ba sila, tumatanda na ako ah). I grew up in Baguio and I saw how team lakay trains. Tumatakbo ng nakapaa ang mga iyan sa burnham park kahit umuulan pa. Tapos dadating itong mga hindi magkasundo. Napakadaling itext iyong isang tao para mag sorry sa hindi pagkakaintindihan. Pero kung trip talaga nilang magkasakitan, eh di gorabels na lang. More power to them. Hope they give us a good show.

Well said brader. Kaya nga yun ang tanong ko una. Makakatulong ba ito talaga ipromote ang MMA? Yun mga unang UFC kasi mapapansin natin, more of freakshow sya talaga than an actual sport. Anything goes na lang, basta magkasakitan. Pero over the years maganda yun naging evolution nito. Talagang multidisciplinary sport ang MMA. Kelangan talaga di ka lang martial artist kundi athlete pa. Madami dyan nagtuturo ng karate na me bilbil.

 

Actually, ayos itong si Alvin Aguillar. Maganda vision nya at talagang di matatawaran yun passion nya ipromote ang MMA sa pilipinas. Sabi nya kasi kung wala tayong maayos na promotional company ang mangyayari puro underground fighting. Tsaka sa kanyang gym, bawal masangkot sa away kalye. Kasi nga hindi na kelangan ng mga ganun. Edukadong tao itong si Alvin na talagang me passion for the game.

 

As to these guys.... well lets hope nga if it pushes through they give this sport a lot of respect considering what it has become.

 

Tsaka nga pala, war freak si Baron sure, pero sa video, sucker punch yun ginawa ni Kiko

Alam mo paps, I will be lying to if I said I am not intruiged by this match up. Hopefully the URCC gives us a date. Tapos samahan ng tv time and then get it over with. Nakakamatay ang anticipation hahaha.

 

 

And speaking of Alvin Aguilar, sobrang hands on ang taong iyan. Noong may co-promotion ang team lakay at urcc sa baguio, natalo by decision si razi jabari. Nagwala si loko. Eh ayaw ni boss alvin ng ganyan. Nilapatan niya ng rnc si razi hanggang makatulog. People had to pry alvin off of the poor bloke. Parang pride days lang ang nangyari.

Hmmmm tungkol sa matchup..... Ang sabi openweight ito, heavier yun gloves na gagamitin, tsaka 1, 5-minute round lang. Or pwedeng 2 3 min round...... Lamang sa weight advantage si Baron. Pero mukhang mas matangkad at may reach advantage si Kiko. I wonder if this fight will go to the ground.

 

Competing pa ba si boss Alvin o talagang hangang coaching na lang? Alam ko me gym ito eh. Sabi nga ang isang rule dun, wala dapat masasangkot sa away kalye kundi kickout.

bahala sila, siguraduhin lang nila na sanctioned ang laban para legal lahat. Tapusin na nila para lumaban na ang mga totoong MMA fighters. bibigyan ba naman Games and Amusement Board ang 2 iyan ng lisensya para lumaban? maya sa The Buzz ikwento iyang laban hahaha.

 

Si Boss Alvin, last time I heard from a former officemate ay more on coaching na lang daw sa deftac. samahan pa ng promotion ng fights. mukhang napatawad naman ng gym iyong ginawa niya sa baguio dati. that was way back 2010 or 2011.

This is upsetting, not only is he getting the fight on short notice, his opponent Brock is getting an excemption from the USADA testing. Because of some loophole in the system where you get a 4 month exception if you decide to go back to MMA after some time. Everyone knows Lesnar is juicing now he gets to fight on TRT. What a f.ucked up situation.

 

Mark Hunt unhappy with USADA exemption for juiced to the gills Brock Lesnar

 

 

Brock Lesnar’s return to the octagon at UFC 200 captured a lot of attention. However, once the excitement died down, some wondered if Lesnar was being held to the same standards for United States Anti-Doping Agency testing as other fighters.

Normally, a fighter would have to be available for USADA for a four month period before competing in the UFC, but the UFC is able to waive the requirement “in exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to an Athlete.”

 

That was the case with Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC), the WWE superstar and former UFC heavyweight champion who will return to the octagon for the first time since December 2011.

 

Lesnar’s opponent, Mark Hunt (12-10-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC), told FOX Sports Australia he isn’t happy with the exception.

“I don’t think it’s a great move,” Hunt said. “I think he’s juiced to the gills and I still think I’m going to knock him out. So I don’t think that’s correct. I don’t think he should be allowed to get a four-month exemption otherwise everyone else should. Otherwise, I should start juicing.

 

“How are you going to clean the sport up doing that (expletive)? It won’t happen. I don’t think it’s fair.”

Hunt said he spoke to UFC President Dana White about the situation and was told Lesnar has been receiving USADA tests recently. That still didn’t sit well with the former title challenger.

“He’s probably been off a couple of cycles anyway,” Hunt said.

Makes a W all the more sweeter! Mark Hunt is no stranger to the odds being against him. No disrespect to Brock.

[Edmund Dantes]

Waaaaaaaaah Laki ng bilbil ni Baron Geisler.

 

Pucha san ba training camp ni Geisler? Sa McDonalds? Krispy Kreme?

 

Anak ng tinapang galunggung O!

 

I saw him doing his taekwondo routine, in the vid he was saying "ubos na energy ko" after ilang sipa sa heavybag.

 

Guys gano ba kapractical ang taekwondo sa MMA?

[startoffbeat]

TKD black belt sila Benson Henderson at Anderson Silva. Wonderboy also fights in TKD stances. Ewan na lang kay Baron. Ilang araw na lang fight night na. Hapo at pagal agad ang dalawang ito.

[Edmund Dantes]

Hindi ako hardcore MMA fan ha. Hangang cardio boxing nga lang ako hehehehe.

 

Pero ako kasi if I can take just one skillset inside an MMA cage it would be boxing na syempre. Its simple yet so practical, and as I see it, it is one mandatory arsenal for MMA practicioners.

 

Ang balita, si Kiko Matos daw ay more on boxing background. So I do not know kung gaano kaeffective yun taekwondo style against boxing. Muay thai siguro kasi mas rooted sya on boxing.

 

Plus syempre mukhang talagang out of shape pa si Baron, so kung maging grappling match ito at hindi maganda baga nya hilo sya malamang

[startoffbeat]

baka bronchitis ang abutin ng dalawang iyan. huwag naman sana. kung sino man ang ref, sana magkaroon ng tamang sense para itigil ang laban kung kailangan nang itigil. but then again, this is just me talking and trying to be a know it all. malay mo in shape pala sila. eh di ako pa ang napahiya hahaha.

Si Matos ang mukhang lean. Di ko masyado kilala itong taong ito ha. Pero kung me mga modelling gig sya. Malamang batak yun katawan nya sya gym. So matigas mga muscles nya. Yun mismong technique na lang sa laban aasikasuhin nya.

 

Baliktad naman si Baron. Parang ang training camp nito nasa beer house lang. Nyahahaha. OO me technique siguro sya, kaso kung panay bisyo inaatupag nito malamang wala sa kundisyon..... Pero anong malay natin me lean muscle naman sa ilalim ng taba na yan. marami naman akong nakikitang ganyan sa gym eh.

exhibit A - Roy Nelson, kayang makipagsabayan sa mga Brendan Schaub na athletic type hahaha. naiinip na ako sa kwentong gagawin ng dalawang iyan. hindi ko na tuloy maalala kung anong nangyari sa huling laban ni Nietes.
