Lord of The Curry

That's a question best served for somebody for knowledgeable then myself.

The Gi can be used for leverage when it comes to applying things like chokes and armbars. I'm sure it goes a bit deeper then that but that's one reason why UFC doesn't allow Gi's.

So.........I missed the last 5 minutes or so because the VCR cut out. Michael left, Charlie got a smooch.......then nothing. Recap plz.

You're an idiot if you don't see secret shoppers coming. Their questions are among the most obvious and rehearsed I've seen. After dealing with one of them the guy actually finished by saying "You've been very helpful with this information gathering session."

Main Card Hughes/Gracie Swick/Riggs Vera/Silva Sakara (!!@!~) vs Lister Sanchez/Allesio Prelim Card Horn/Sonnen Gonzaga/Scherner Fisher/Wiman Davis/Guillard

Whatever show is closest to the border so you can come up here and join in the UFC PPV goodness at my place- that is the college to pick.

If we're talking relative to a generation, then yeah, he was. What are you talking about? He's had a good 7 years or so as the dominant figure in popular music (that's more than the Beatles' original run or MJ's hot period). He has had 3 pantheon-level albums, critical recognition and mainstream success and notoriety. That's far more than a flash in the pan. The argument for Eminemn is as good as any. The Beatles at their peak in relation to popular music absolutely buttfuck Em in every single way possible. Having said that, Em was also one of the first artists that came to mind when I saw this topic.

DA, you don't post here nearly enough.

I agree with you on Estrada, the dude is average at best. Not sure about the whole "Umaga = Abyss" comparison because it wouldn't be long before WWE fans are thinking about Umaga what TNA fans think about Abyss: Why don't they ever step it up? (Although I suppose that question about Abyss was just answered).

InfluX.

Yeah, actually. Family road trip 4 years ago. Really dug Chicago. Had the best pizza in my entire life there.

Chuck's never faced somebody with Sakara's level of standup, I think is what the article was trying to get across. Babalu and Tito are obviously more well rounded then Sakara but there's no question that the guy has some of the best hands in that company right now. Chuck vs Sakara would be interesting only because it might be the only fight where you see Chuck go for a takedown.

There's an article on UFC.com about Allesio Sakara and how he's one of the only guys who could stand with Chuck and possibly beat him. Jump on the bandwagon now, folks.

That is honestly one of the best "You talkin to me?" drunk-faces I've ever seen.

Tong is your MMA Overlord of right now, folks. Bow down.

SCORE.

.................Yes.

SMOOOTH guard work in the Tanaka/Tamura fight. Side mount, back, switch to opposite side mount, full mount back to side mount. I need to invest in some SHOOTO DVD's. That was a fucking nifty lil bout.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'm not sure who was who on the Kintaro/Yozen fight but Sakuraba-shorts got KTFO'd.

Is SHOOTO Class B a different division or something? I'd assume so because of the 10 count (?) on the knockdown?

So it's less then a week away and sadly, nobody really cares. I've got the PPV-week feeling but it's just that, nothing more. It's weird because the past 3 PPV's we've had main events of Couture/Liddell 3, Franklin/Loiseau and AA/Sylvia and this one has a bigger main then maybe all 3, definetly bigger then the last two. And I still can't find myself caring all that much. I'm more stoked on seeing Legionarius make PPV then the Hughes/Gracie fight, to be honest. This show will be redeemed when Hughes stomps a hole through Royce and then St. Pierre enters the octagon to tell the crowd that in October/November he'll be taking the title. The only thing this show really had going for it is unpredictability in the main. All the polls I've read are split right down the middle. The general consensus seems to be that either Royce will tap Hughes or Hughes will KO or TKO Royce.

Swank. If that's at UFN 5 then we've already got a decent card put together...... Koscheck/Menne Leben/A. Silva Hominick/Gurgel Cummo/Goulet

I haven't read too many details but I'd assume that they are all living together. "Advisors" just seems like it's there for GSP's benefit so nobody gets pissed off with such a young dude being their coach. Mark Delagrotti and Marc Laimon are apparently also going to be featured on the show.
