Lord of The Curry

Hendo was MW and Nog was HW, it looked like. Nog went for about a dozen armbar variations and Hendo got outta them all.

It's going to make work really annoying when Wedding Crashers comes out in Januray and I have to hear stupid customers talk about how much better it was then 40YOV. BTW, 40YOV smoked Wedding Crashers in just about every category.

How come nobody told me that Nog/Hendo was a fucking sweet fight? 'Cause it was.

I've heard CAR-RUE and COW as ways to pronounce the name but Charles McRad is way better and would make for an awesome t-shirt.

If 2005 was the year in the history of the sport that MMA broke into the mainstream then 2006 will be the toughtest test it's faced yet- endurance. Will it stay as popular as it currently is? How big will it get? What will change? What will need to change? That is, in the long and short of it, the purpose of this thread. What fights are you looking forward to? Shows? Fighters coming back? Fighters retiring? This year has the potential to be the best yet for MMA and it's fans around the world, which considering the year we just had is saying a lot. Just to spark some chattin', here's a list of some fights we could possibly be seeing on the horizon: David Loiseau vs Rich Franklin- UFC MW Division Georges St. Pierre vs Matt Hughes- UFC WW Division Matt Hughes vs BJ Penn- UFC WW Division Diego Sanchez vs Matt Hughes- UFC WW Division Chuck Liddell vs Renato "Babalu" Sobral- UFC LH Division Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs Ricardo Arona- PRIDE MW Division Joachim Hansen vs Takanori Gomi- PRIDE LW Division Fedor Emelianenko vs Mark Hunt- PRIDE HW Division Mirko Cro Cop vs Sergei Khanitorov- PRIDE HW Division Hopefully this thread can last the full year with things being brought up as they come. Happy debating!

The only laughter surrounding P&P was from the Jane Austen purists who vomited all over this sexed-up remake.

I think it's fairly safe to say that unless the entire WW division all dies in a plane crash that we won't be seeing Frank Trigg step into the octagon at the same time as Matt Hughes for a long, long time.

"Church for Thugs"- The Game

Don't forget that hot up-and-comer David Rees Snell.

Yep.

Two words: Clinch Knees

Very good point as well, Edwin. I'm totally aware that he's done a lot of good for gangs, including brokering a peace treaty between the bloods and crips. But like you said, the amount of emotional damage that Tookie and his followers have caused is immeasureable.

I just want to see some riots break out in Cali. You guys are long overdue.

Considering he, to this point, has refused to co-operate with the courts and give up any information he posseses on the gangs.........good. Fuck "snitchin'", he's aware that divulging said information would probably save his life and he's chosen to remain silent. I fail to see how any of his defenders can do so now.

"Electioneering" by Radiohead is waaaay too bangin' for a Radiohead track. Discuss.

Rudo offered to buffy a MOD for said folder and nothing happened.

Sure, strikes can be replicated. So can subs. But everybody has a fighter they love because they do something better or different then everybody else. Chuck's looping left hook is the first thing that comes to mind for me, followed by Cro Cops left high kick.

Legit hate? Elabortion, please.

I'm not 100% on this but if the board voted on a "Banned from ___ folder" you'd probably get Music in a walk.

This is the internet, sport. Parody doesn't usually fly here.

Yeah but it's a Mr. Ecko flashback which is totally worth waiting for.

If I didn't have an abhorrent fear of Cubans I'd move to Miami in a heartbeat.

Awesome.

Because everybody is laughing.

Why all the heavyweight love? I mean, I realize that they have zero depth in that division but you'd think a PPV headlined by the one of the biggest fights in company history would warrant.....well........better fighters. No Diaz, Sanchez, Penn, Hughes, GSP, Stevenson or Karo? Weak.
