Jacare is probably in the "holy trinity" of BJJ right now, with Roger Gracie (and yes, even a standard name like Roger, is pronounced "Hoger") and arguably the best P4P grappler in the world, Marcelo Garcia.

I'd be interested to see some more fighter training logs and what not. Like find out how many days a week they train, what they train, what they do, and what they eat. I'd be especially interested in what they eat.

I still think Randleman shouldve gotten the desicion againest Rutten.

 

But I will admit that he fucked up because he shouldve done more then just take him down.

That's the difference between Randleman and guys like Dan Henderson. Even though Bas is no ground wizard, Randleman is content to just take people down to prove he can take them down at will. Henderson, on the other hand, won't go to the ground with jiu-jitsu guys and won't stand with standup guys. It's all about using your strengths to exploit the other fighter's weaknesses.

 

Randleman was just content to lay there when he should have been busier trying to improve position. It doesn't matter if Bas gets up or escapes when Kevin tries, because he had already proven that he could take Bas down pretty much whenever he wanted. Then again, I wasn't in the cage with Bas like he was, so I don't know what to think.

So, of all the things EHME could chose to have in my sig following AA's loss he comes up with this piece of shit. You'll have to forgive me if I don't follow the bet down to the full month, not because I'm welching on it but because you wasted a golden oppurtunity and need to learn.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

I couldnt find no homosexual picture of Sylvia lifting his shirt up, like you did with Arlovski.

 

I'm sastisfied with you admitting I son you.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

If "son" = banking on Arlovski getting caught, then yes, you son me.

 

Just don't get it in your head that you proved anything and this'll all turn out fine.

[Adam 0]

That Sylvia picture is 100x gayer than any Andre one I've seen.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

All I'm gonna say is that Arlovski was KO'd by Ricco and Pedro for a reason.

 

He doesn't have a strong chin or strong defense.

[AmericanDragon 0]

And he'll always have that loss to Datsik on his record.

 

It's a fucking loss to Datsik. No elite fighter has a loss more embarassing than that.

I've been going through my old desktop and I found some old HLs that I made a while back. Nothing really fancy to them,

 

This is my first, a HL of PRIDE, mainly from PRIDE 25, 15, and 21 (because that's what I had on my computer at the time), I don't have a breadth of stuff on it, but I think what I do use is pretty choice. It's only 3MBs, and the picture quality isn't the best, but check it out.

The next is my all-time favourite HL, out of every HL that I've seen, and thats mainly because I made it, but also, I think I capture the feel of this fight perfectly and I manage to synch the music in nicely (mostly by mistake - Watch how Nog shadow boxes to the music, watch how the lights at the beginning move in synch as well). It's Fedor/Nog I, the first round, and -really- that's all there needed to be. It is 7MB's and the picture quality is much better.

 

http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1VAKE4X...NW2D1FX3ECXN8DG

 

I've also got a collection of clips that I was planning on using for a HL, from a variety of PRIDEs, but never used them. There is no music or anything, its not in order, just stuff that would make for a HL (introductions, celebrations, etc.). Stuff from PRIDE 15, 19, 20, 22, 25. It's about 20 minutes long. It makes for a nice teaser. I'll try to get that up later.

1) Ricco didn't KO him, though he did rock him.

 

2) Arlovski wasn't elite then, but...

If you are nostalgic for some PRIDE or haven't seen a lot of PRIDE, this video is for THOU.

And Nog vs. RULON is apparently ON for the PRIDEGP, according to Nogs messageboard via DVDVR.

 

Also ON:

 

Werdum vs. Overeem

Fujita vs. Thomson

Jorge Rivera def. Tim Sylvia

 

If there was one that needed emphasis. This would be it. I am not talking bolded here, I'm talking flashing lights, making noise, spinning around. I still have a hard time believing this. Tim was probably also a lot heavier at this time.

[Lei Tong 0]

Sylvia was a tubby 300lbs. POS at the time.

 

But still... outwrestled and G&P'ed by Rivera?

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

That's what I was saying, you have about 120 lbs on a guy, who seven years later is still a one-dimensional fighter with that dimension being striking.. and he outgrappled you. Never mind the fact that he has a questionable gas tank and should have fallen apart moving 300 lbs around eventually.

 

I have to see that fight now.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

How come I can't find the fight on Rivera's or Sylvia's record??

[Lei Tong 0]

It was an amateur fight from '99. Rhode Island Vale Tudo, IIRC.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Indeed, the FCFighter database also has it.

 

Much like they have the amateur fight of TSM's favourite celebrity

[Lei Tong 0]

One loss in 22 years, bitches.

I bought the DVD of UFC 45 today. Holy shit, was the Rizzo/Rodriguez fight ever horrible.

 

Did either of those guys ever fight in the UFC again?

[Adam 0]

I bought 53 last week. I thoroughly enjoyed it top to bottom.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

Not sure it's been posted already, but the latest estimate on buys for Couture vs. Liddell III is 400,000.

[Adam 0]

Thats up around Big 4 WWE PPV areas, isnt it?

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

Thats up around Big 4 WWE PPV areas, isnt it?

Domestically, it's way ahead of the Rumble. The gross was $19.4 million.

[Guest AndrewisyourHero]

I am lovin' this Royce Gracie episode of Unleashed.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

400,000? I don't believe it.

 

Rizzo vs. Rodriguez was the last fight on both their contracts, it was said to be the most expensive dark match ever. The UFC contacted Ricco to fight Arlovski for AA's first title defence, but Ricco turned it down because it didn't offer him enough time to suitably train.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

White said his company is committed to its pay-per-view programs and to launching programs on Spike TV, HBO and other platforms. He’s also developing an action drama along the lines of ‘‘The Shield” that would involve some UFC veterans.
