Your Paragon of Virtue

Not all fights are in the tourney.

What was so bad about Chav's post?

Weird matchmaking, but that's par for the course with PRIDE. Rua will make Robby Park cry. Baroni will make LT cry (again). Then they will have to fight each other. That would be AWESOME.

He's taken down some tough guys, I think he took down Penn, and he took down Menjivar, who while undersized is no joke. His standup is a little wild, but it is improving, especially if you look at his fight with Karo, he got him pretty good there. Also, I'm surprised Karo dominated the ground war in that one. Those elbows were probably it.

That move he did from holding Gomi in Turtle to getting his back was downright Godly. Why can't he fulfill his potential in MMA?

You probably know this already, but that looks like it could use some touching up.

I'm just saying, I saw this quote in some Sherfagger's sig where it talked about Sak being the greatest P4P fighter ever, since he fought men 230 lbs even though he could have cut down to 155 realistically. I know, it's bullshit, but I'm just sayin', I figured that coupled with the talk of a Saku-Matt Hughes dream fight that 170 was a good possibility. That would have probably had to taken place at 185, but if Matt knew he was only cutting to 185, he probably would have adjusted his body accordingly to be a big guy at that weight too.

Whoops, one more, this was a really fun grappling fight. Don't know how well it holds up now, but I'm sure it's still good. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B5PFOTIK Newton vs. Renzo Gracie

Well now that's just mean. Unless it somehow works, then you can say you got your first taste of pussy because of something a girl on a random wrestling message board did for you.

If you watch him fight Ricco for the first two rounds before the huge weight advantage wears on his body, he pwns him. Ditto Barnett, whose win is also stigmatized due to the roids. Ortiz lost one fight to the best LHW fighter in the world. Sliding into mediocrity? Hardly. Sak would get destroyed by most of the guys in the UFC's MW division, prime or not. Some feel he could have made 170 though, which would have been his true weight class, but I don't know enough to comment.

If he was a tattoo artist he'd have way more then that. Probably just some regular artist.

Watch a fight where the Quebecers reverse roles, as Menjivar is the bigger fighter who actually doesn't make 170, while GSP makes it no problem. Really fun fight. Georges St. Pierre vs Ivan Menjivar (UCC 7) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CEXWFJES That's it for now.

Okay, I just saw the ADCC match again. I don't even know why I should bother going for Jiu jitsu anymore, shit like that just demoralizes you.

Shoulda hit a wall in Canada.

Not MMA, but here's what happens when you take one guy who knows a lot about grappling and pit against a guy who doesn't in a grappling environment. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RRVCCKTN

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2EO9794B Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz. This might be boring to some, but I personally found it exciting.

I have to wait and see Hendo lose in the MW division before I see future generations shitting on him. If that were to happen, people today would think he sucked. Couture I don't know, he truly was top guy in the world at one point. No one can take that from him. Wanderlei has wins over a lot of small Japs, but he's got some big impressive ones too (Jackson and Arona). If he beats Lil Nog, then I don't see anyone shitting on his legacy. However, one thing they can shit on him for is the fact that in early 2003, PRIDE had Jackson, Randleman, Arona, Overreem, and Lil Nog in their organization...and Wanderlei never fought any of them.

That's not racist at all.

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,...00.html?cnn=yes 3rd paragraph There's not much there in the way of context. It seems like VERY selective quoting.

He barely got tagged by both. In the second round VItor got him good, but in that supposed flurry from the first he barely got touched. Chuck's style is different, he throws more bombs than those guys, who like the flurry, especially Vitor. I think Tito can fight a patient fight to avoid that bomb. I think people are underestimating the effects that Tito's knee injury had on his striking/cardio in the last fight.

I see three outcomes to this fight. Chuck winning by KO early, Tito winning by TKO late, or Tito winning a decision. The last two together have a higher chance of giving Tito the victory. His standup defense has much improved (which is what matters since he probably won't bother trying to KO Chuck on the feet) and if he puts Chuck on his back, which he's more than capable of, this fight is finished.
