UFC 74

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Dude, you have NO IDEA how awesome Shuffle is. It's going to be huge. There's going to be a point where there's a kid shows up with an ipod on his glove and he says "I love my poderglove, it's so bad". I dropped Twister science in it, too.

 

I don't know how anyone can say "This guy is going to kill this guy" and not have an idea how it's going to happen. Just going on one guy being "better" than the other, in MMA, isn't enough. A guy may be a better fighter overall, but if he lacks the specific tools needed to beat his "worse" opponent, then it could be a tough night.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

You're right, kill is strong, and in a sport like MMA it's tough to make that assumption. But I do think Grove will dominate him, and I think he will do it in the fashion I stated above. Cote has power though, and I've seen Grove get KTFO before.

[Mik 0]

Sylvia is off this card. He's not fighting until october.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

And the children weep.

 

Frank Trigg was on his radio show saying that he's talked to Sakurai personally and that the Diego fight is a bullshit rumor. Sucks because that fight would be glorious if it happened.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

The only thing that could be more glorious would be BJ Penn moving back up to 170 to take on Diego.....

 

WHICH IS GOING MUTHAFUCKING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

To expand, Sherdog is reporting that BJ and Diego have agreed to fight on the Randy/Gonzaga undercard.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Fuck an undercard. People will riot if that bitch doesn't make the main. Say hello to the prelims, Babalu and Heath.

 

Randy/Gonzaga

GSP/Koscheck

Cote/Grove

Pellegrino/Joe

Penn/Diego

 

SUPER FUCKING STACKED

 

 

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Seriously, UFC ain't foolin around.

[Mik 0]

oh shit.

 

i thought you guys were fucking around.

 

What a great summer of MMA... 3 UFC events in June and 2 mega-cards.

 

I just wonder what Diego is going to come up with this time if he loses. Obviously he almost lost his leg against Kosheck with the worst staph infection of all time... I guess if he loses to BJ he can say he had a 3 week bout of AIDS?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

He'll say he lost the best fighter of all time*.

 

 

 

 

*BJ Penn is not, in fact, the best fighter of all time. But the internet sure does think he is.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

BJ or Fedor, depending on what day of the week it is.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Considering Fedor exists outside time and space, could he even be considered part of our universe?

 

Fedor: The String-Theory Fighter.

[Mik 0]

Well, Sherdog updated to see this fight isn't happening.

 

Fuck them for even printing it, then.

 

Anymore, no type of media should listen to anyone in Diego's camp INCLUDING Diego when it comes to opponents and fights, because he seemingly just makes shit up.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

In Diego's defense the first rumor of him fighting Mach Sakurai came from a radio station in New Mexico and this fight was just a "source" inside one of the camps.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

The station interviewed him and it came directly from his mouth. But yeah, this rumour was unfounded.

 

Whatever, more proof that Sherdog blows (aside from a couple of the radio shows and Mr. Blue).

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Shit, didn't know Diego was actually on the show when the fight was announced. Silly lil' Nightmare.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

And that's only half true, Mr. Blue blows as well. I still can't believe he picked against Sherk purely out of hate. Even if Franca wins, I highly doubt he'll be able to turn the tide in later rounds, considering he's had issues with this in the past, and Sherk is one of the most in shape fighters around. There's no reason to believe that, that's like "Serra Knocking out GSP" odds of happening with "how the fuck" levels of reasoning.

Despite being one of the more knowledgable MMA posters I know, Blue is possibly the "expert" most easily swayed by his own biases.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

I remember that Mr. Blue said that Din Thomas just plain sucks and will do nothing for the LW divison after TUF4. He can be very arrogant for his own good with his MMA knowledge.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

I said that tongue in cheek, I definitely think Blue is one of the best posters for mma, but you're definitely right in that he's biased as hell.

[Darthtiki 0]

I think I'm road tripping to Vegas for this one.

[Mik 0]

Sherdog is saying that Clay Guida is fighting Marcus Aurelio on this card now.

 

Take it with a grain of salt, I guess.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Watching the preview vid for this on UFC.com....well....if there wasn't any proof that Rogan hates GSP, there it is. Just totally shit-talks the Serra loss to the fullest extent possible while at the same time letting Koschecks man-sauce just drip all over his chin. I honestly want to see somebody call Rogan out on his Canada (and specifically GSP) hatred just to see his reaction.

That's a phrase I could have gone my life without hearing, thanks Curry

i didnt need to heare that either, i am not a fan of GSP or Koscheck, but i hope Koscheck beats him

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I know Curry, and I know that he was using the short form of the word "Mandarin" when he was talking about Man-Sauce. Koscheck is well known in the MMA community for making some mean stir-fry and one of the secrets is this Mandarin sauce that he uses. Rogan -and this is also well known in the MMA community- is a big stir fry fan and once Rogan was training at ATT and Koscheck made the team some stir-fry and Rogan just ate into it like crazy and didn't even mind the sauce running down his face. So what LOTC really means is that Rogan was conveying his love for Koschecks Man-Sauce (if I were to also use the short-form) when talking about Koscheck as a fighter.

 

I was expecting Rogan to say after beating the "GSP GOT PWNED" horse down to say something to the effect of "...but that could mean we will see a nastier, meaner, tougher, stronger, GSP come back and that would mean problems for Josh Koscheck", but nothing like that ever followed. It was just "GSP got DESTROYED by a MIDGET. He got ABSOLUTELY ANNIHILATED by this guy who wasn't even a top contender. His entire world IMPLODED when he got MAN RAPED by YODA"

[Lord of The Curry 0]

'Zackly.

 

Usually when they talk about somebody getting their ass handed to them they make reference to "The ____ you're going to see in the octagon will be ten times stronger then the fighter you last saw." No mention of that here.

 

And Darth and Nate, actually watch the videos before making a comment. You'll see that I'm well and truly correct here.

[Lei Tong 0]

THat's 'cuz Koscheck's ginna TELPIORT GPS to the pwn-zone.

 

btw- don't drink at work.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I clicked on the wrong thread first.

[Mik 0]

I actually like Koscheck.

 

But I hope GSP brings his A-game and just annihilates him. The main reason is that I fully expect Hughes to kill Serra and I want to see GSP destroy Hughes again.
