cameron chaos 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2006 I was wondering how long it would take LotC to switch to one of those gifs from his Silva-Kondo stomping one. Nice to see my psychic powers are not failing. Mirko is apparently considering retirement incidentally. He's certainly got enough money and he apparently wants to spend next NYE with his family. I guess these two decisions against Fedor and Hunt have really knocked his confidence down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 3? Fedor, Noguiera & Hunt have already bested him, and then there's the theoretical match-ups vs. Arlovski & Kharitonov. Theoretical bullshit aside, I wouldn't consider Hunt the #3 HW in PRIDE just yet. Nog and Fedor will always be holding down and the #1 and #2 spots, respectively. Either way, if Cro Cop doesn't come back and win the HW GP then he needs to consider whether it's in his best interest in staying in a company where you're not terrible enough to suck and not good enough to be the champion or top contender.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 I believe that anyone that can take Hunt to the ground can beat him. He's too inexperienced on the ground, and his last two fights didn't necessarily help him in that regard; fighting someone he has seventy pounds on and someone who is 98% of the time a standup fighter. Hunt does, however, possess the strongest chin in the history of K-1/MMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) PRIDE has different names for their divisions. Heavyweight = Heavyweight Middleweight = Light Heavyweight Welterweight = Middleweight Lightweight = Welterweight UFC readjusted their belts after the Zuffa takeover where they were trying to get in favour of NSAC regulators (middleweight used to be their LHW too), whereas PRIDE keeps it the same. The weight difference at Welterweight being 183 instead of 185, I imagine, is because Middleweight is 93 kilos, which is equal to 205lbs, and Welterweight is 10 kilos less at 83 kilos, which is equal to 183lbs.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 PRIDE's lightweight is closer to a lightweight division than a welterweight division. A good indicator of that is the fact that all the guys that competed in it were lightweights beforehand, save Mach who dropped and is considered a lightweight.

Guest Brian Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Marquadt was cleared today by the NSAC. False positive was caused by a combo of three other non-performance enhancing, legal drugs in his system from the looks of things. He had passed two different tests in Vegas and Denver.

Adam 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 WOW. I just heard Tito Ortiz on UFC.tv Matt Hughes called Tito a 'drama king and an idiot' and didn't think it was a good idea for him to be on TUF because he wants the sport to stay pure. Tito's response? "That Matt Hughes, I watched the reality show when he was on it man, and I wasn't sure if that guy was gay or he was straight." Wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 I don't know what he's trying to get at, though Matt does sound a little effeminate, especially when he yelled at WHitehead. If someone yelled at me like that, it would be hard to keep a straight face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 It looked as sharp as a tack against Sherk, but Sean doesn't set-up his takedowns nearly as well as BJ, and has often relied on brute strength to get past an opponent's takedown D. Also, Tito & Matt have been jawing at each other for years now. Tito calls Matt a gay roider, Matt calls Tito an overrated idiot, wtc. Rinse and repeat.

Adam 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I'm yet to see Silva, but apparently he's good, yes? I think Bonnar-Irvin will be good. I want Bonnar to win, even though that flying knee of Irvin's at UFC54 was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I hope Bonnar isn't stupid and tries to stand and bang with Irvin because it could cost him, his best bet is to take him down (where Irvin has shown next to nothing) and deal with it from there.
