AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 The Pride acquisition has completely turned me off MMA, and this card has nothing interesting for me. In fact, the only fight I'd want to see in any organization is Gomi vs. Aoki. So you think everyone who has been fighting in Pride will just stop fighting period? Save your complaining until that happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysterious_w 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 Basically MMA has always been pretty boring for me. BJJ and wrestling probably are the dominant styles that will win fights with the UFC rules, but that doesn't stop them from being incredibly boring matches to watch. Guard, half-guard, guard, side-control then 3 seconds of an armlock and the guy taps. Boring as hell. The only reason I liked Pride was all the flair and pomp of the show that came with it.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 Basically MMA has always been pretty boring for me. Some people aren't fans of MMA, and yes, some people find it boring. No biggie. Yet you enjoyed Pride, and essentially you're saying that you'd watch it for the spectacle of everything BUT the fights? That's just weird. That's like going to a baseball game because the $7 hot dogs are good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like going to a baseball game because the $7 hot dogs are good. Maybe he's from here in Pittsburgh, where most people go to baseball games because it's a pretty outdoor bar? It does strike me as a strange reason to like Pride, there is PLENTY of pro wrestling content out there with all of the spectacle/hype of Pride... And people get tapped out with arm bars in Pride just as well...the whole argument is goofy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baseball was a bad example - you don't actually have to watch the game to enjoy yourself at a baseball stadium. I should've said regular season football.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 BTW, Canadian LW prospect Mark Bocek will be taking on Frank Edgar as the final fight on this card. Bocek is 4-0 and recently defeated Drew Fickett via points at the ADCC Championships in New Jersey. Card is finalized if that fight gets confirmed. Tito Ortiz vs Rashad Evans Nate Marqurdt vs Anderson Silva Hermes Franca vs Sean Sherk Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera vs Heath Herring Kenny Florian vs Alvin Robinson Drew Fickett vs Chris Lytle Jorge Gurgel vs Diego Savaria Stephan Bonnar vs Mike Nickels Mark Bocek vs Frankie Edgar On paper, this is the best UFC card in fucking ages.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Try to find the tapout guys and convince them to let you be a member of their crew. Then give yourself a wild nickname like "Shoes", but like, "Shooz", and then always go around holding a tapout branded shoe and point at it. It'd be inyaface.
