starvenger Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 More Gabe fun: --We're still not clear on exact reasons the various fighters were dropped from the Los Angeles Coliseum show, but most were likely to have been some form of failure to get medical clearance. Gabe Ruediger was dropped from the show for reasons having to do with mental stability stemming from his behavior a few months ago on Ultimate Fighter. Now, I'm not gonna say that this is some sort of revenge on Sleazy D's part, but I wouldn't put it past the guy to somehow pull this off...
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 Weigh-ins for tomorrow's Coliseum show Brock Lesnar (262) vs. Kim Min-soo (255) Royce Gracie (188) vs. Kazushi Sakuraba (187) - both agreed to fight at 190 Johnnie Morton (213) vs. Bernard Ackah (207) Mighty Mo (292) vs. Ruben Villareal (270) Tim Persey (265) vs. Jonathan Weizorek (265) Jake Shields (170) vs. Ido Pariente (168) Melvin Manhoef (192) vs. Yoon Doon Sik (190) - both agreed to come in at 195 Hideo Tokoro (153) vs. Brad Pickett (155) J.Z. Calvan (158) vs. Nam Phan (155) Calvan failed to make weight and forfeits 20% of his purse Isiah Hall (156) vs. Katsuhiko Nagata (156)
Lei Tong Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 I quick laugh at anyone who thought Manhoef was ever anything special. EDIT- Mainly EHME.
Guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 I heard Johnnie Morton got knocked the fuck out.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Wow. Lesnar won after dude tapped after getting hit in the face a bunch of times. Pure hilarity. Morton did get knocked the fuck out. It was vicious. He wasn't moving at all after going down. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x25l2t_k1...ard-ackah-vs-jo Morton gettin knocked out.
Youth N Asia Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Morton tested positive for bad shit as well, may not get any of his $100,00 purse. He was also carried out in a neck brace after his fight http://www.dailymotion.com/search/brock%2B...soo-kim-k1-dyna Brock's fight, it looked like he knew what he was doing (granted, he was fighting a bum)
Mik Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Can't get the Morton video to load, but Brock looked good against that tomato can. A few more of those and Dana will probably come calling.
Youth N Asia Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Observer said something like 15,000-20,000 people showed up, which is a bigger crowd than I expected
iliketurtles Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Several notes: -Goldberg on commentary for Brock Lesnar match, especially after their Wrestlemania debacle? Fucccked. -Lesnar not tapping gloves at the beginning of the fight, hilarious. -Lensar looked good even the guy he fought is total jobber material. -Loved Goldberg's random yelling and screaming when Lesnar won. As if to say "YEAH! FORMER PRO WRESTLERS CAN FIGHT IN MMA! AHRAILHGOAJIHDG"
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 I'm glad I caught this spoiler-free. One of the worst cards I've ever seen, when production and quality of the show is taken together. Maybe some midwest shit beats it out, like any of those shows where Wayne Weems actually won a fight, but seriously, for the amount of hype and money put in, this was pathetic.
Jingus Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 It looks like Brock has spent the past year eating doritos.. It's what happens to a body when it has to pass drugs test. Amazing just how much Vince has conditioned people about how fighters "should look". In reality, a lumpy guy like Chuck Liddell will rip apart a lean mean bodybuilder like HHH. "You can say your prayers and take your vitamins, but if you want 24 inch arms, you HAVE to do steroids."
Lil' Bitch Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Brock's lucky his original opponent couldn't fight him.
Hawkius Maximus Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 I fail to see why. Brock took down an OLYMPIC JUDO SILVER MEDALIST with ease, controlled him on the mat, and beat him to submission. Everyone looks at the guy's record, and that's BS. While he isn't a great fighter, he has credentials that rival or surpass Brock's. And Brock MURDERED HIM. If you honestly think Brock would have struggled to take Choi down, then I dunno what to tell you. Choi has no grappling experience to my knowlege. Would have been the same thing, but quicker. Choi's only hope would be KOing Brock, and given how fast Brock shooting in, I don't think he would have had a chance.
RavishingRickRudo Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Oh, I guess SSIRUM means NOTHING to you.
RavishingRickRudo Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 BTW, in an attempt to pwn Hawk even more I tried to find a pic of HMC in his grapple diaper, instead I found this: Truly the embodiment of PUNCH-OUT (if Lil' Mac was Thai, and Piston Honda had blue hair)
Hawkius Maximus Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 I like Choi, but common! ...although that picture is awesome.
