RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 That was the fight they needed last week lol!
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 Tough fucking call. I think him getting the takedown at the end, Bobby reversing it but then Stephan reversing that nullifies the first reversal so then you got just the takedown.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Close fight, but I agree with the decision. Still, a split should go to a round 3...
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 He's almost crying like Leben was. Bye Bobby. You won't be missed.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 Whites comment about the judges is true if they fight 3 rounds, but just 2? I dunno. I am iffy on this.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 Does Bobby come back? It couldn't possibly be Leben. Is it the guy with the ankle? Shit. It got good again
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Whites comment about the judges is true if they fight 3 rounds, but just 2? I dunno. I am iffy on this. So am I. Still, it was a split decision, which shows that the judges were about as iffy as the rest of us. Does Bobby come back? It couldn't possibly be Leben. Is it the guy with the ankle? Shit. It got good again I guess Quarry's gone because of the ankle. They probably brought back the kickboxer, because I can't see them making Thacker suffer more...
Banter Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 What would be that basis for Lebens return? It wouldn't make sense. He wasn't even that great of a fighter.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 What do you mean guy with the ankle? Quarry hasn't been kicked off...yet.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 The preview had Randy picking the guy, and Leben is a Quest fighter. And they said "He's back" in the narration.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 They are still missing a middleweight, so I assume that's what it's for. The initial preview said someone "returned", it could have been Nate. Of course, now I know better.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 They have built this show nicely. The turncoat on Team Liddell was a nice touch, Lebens (?) return after Team Liddell was so happy he was gone, Bobby gettin shut up...or not ... the turn around for Team Couture, the Liddell member who hates being on Team Couture.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 They are still missing a middleweight, so I assume that's what it's for. The initial preview said someone "returned", it could have been Nate. Of course, now I know better. Eliminated MWs: The kickboxer guy, Alex Karalexis and Fratboy.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 That's what I was thinking, Nate can't return when he hasn't left yet. I think they brought in Leben. Who else would it be? Anyone else and it's a really lame bait and switch I think.
Just call me Dan Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I didn't think it was going to be Leben because of Koscheck's reaction. That may be cut from another point and time, but if Koscheck's reaction is anything short of WHAT?!?!? I don't see how it is Chris.
Fro Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I didn't think it was going to be Leben because of Koscheck's reaction. That may be cut from another point and time, but if Koscheck's reaction is anything short of WHAT?!?!? I don't see how it is Chris. Given that he looked like he saw a ghost, I think they want to give us the impression it was Leben, anyway.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I didn't think it was going to be Leben because of Koscheck's reaction. That may be cut from another point and time, but if Koscheck's reaction is anything short of WHAT?!?!? I don't see how it is Chris. Still, if they do the bait and switch, Nate doing another "Konichiwa, bitches" would be gold...
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I really think Bobby was robbed, i dont like him but he still won the fight, damage wise and ground wise, i mean if anything they should have went to round 3.
Guest Brian Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 God, those guys criticized Leben but when things go the other way... I hope it's just a tease, and it's really Quarry since I really want to see him piece in Koschek. I had the fight as even, but Bonnar was really aggressive. I didn't expect that level of ground work from Southworth.
Guest Brian Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 "He should have accepted the decision, held his head up, and been a man." - Bobby Southworth 2/28/05, 11:12 PM
Banter Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 What about that Canadian dude that quit the show in the beginning? Or was he booted off? I don't remember. Anyway, maybe he's coming back.
Lei Tong Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Thacker was a LHW, so nix that. Sanford was a bit out of shape and nobody seemed to really care about him leaving (rather, caring more that Leben didn't), and Karalexis didn't go out with any sort controversy.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 What about that Canadian dude that quit the show in the beginning? Or was he booted off? I don't remember. Anyway, maybe he's coming back. I think Thacker was in there to show that the average athlete can't come in and expect to compete in MMA. I think he's better off not getting his ass kicked in a match.
Guest Brian Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I still think it's just a tease and Nate's just coming back from injury. Or else they're going to do something really confusing, like bringing in Leben for a Koscheck rematch over whether Southworth stays or goes.
starvenger Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 Or else they're going to do something really confusing, like bringing in Leben for a Koscheck rematch over whether Southworth stays or goes. And Bobby would then never hear the end of how his boyfriend had to defend his "honour"...
Lei Tong Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 SPOILERS: Leben's hand (the one missing skin on the knuckle) opens the door in the preview of next week's show.
Guest Jimmy Saint Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 After Southworth being jobbed out to a BS decision in a fight he clearly won because of personal shit and it seems that Leben is being brought back and given another shot even after losing. I am done with this show. Fuck you Dana White and the shows producers. I hope to god that the Contender is'nt this fixed.
