Rumblings of legitimacy from the mainstream sports media? This is on the main page.

 

Except it's totally misinformed. it called Ken shamrock one of ultimate fighting's biggest stars?!? ... Sheesh. :P It also calls Chuck Lidell the 'lightweight' champion. WTF?

Well techincally Shamrock is one of the UFC's biggest stars, he isn't the best, but he is a draw.

Shamrock looks like he's going to puke in that photo.

 

He may be a draw to casual fans, but that's gonna diminish rapidly as guys like Ortiz, Liddell et al get more exposure.

Eh, Shamrock's a draw in a very limited capacity. It'll take quite a bit of time off and a lot rebuild, as well as someone who can work well enough to pay off the whole thing. This was a big show and Shamrock was still pretty much dominated, whether you saw the stoppage as premature (and it wasn't). People who think about ordering the next show Shamrock's on are going to have to wonder whether they'll see a return on their investment. Especially after the relative bury-job they pulled off on TUF.

I just saw the Ortiz/Shamrock fight and i laughed my ass off. From Tito coming out to eminem with that kick ass flag, to the shitty ending, to shamrock getting booed and pulling a bob backlund ala WM 11. It was great. Shamrock really needs to retire though.

Word is Hominick will likely pull out of his rematch with Hatsu Hioki.

Also, my return to non-faggy avs celebrates Hioki's pwnage of Hominick and general awesomeness.

Also, I love how Hioki flew in only days before the fight with Hominick, only saw a handful of Mark's fight footage (which nearly lead to cries of "TREASON!"), heard the rules for the first time the day before the fight, and still laid a beating on him.

 

 

 

Random fact: Hatsu Hioki has never been submitted by Shane Rice.

Considering I lack the Yellow Fever, hate Sakuraba and dislike most anime... no.

The ref mearly saved Shamrock from the embarassment of getting stopped by Sakuraba's G&P follow-up, which would have likely rivaled Schembri's in hilairty & humiliation factor.

The best memory I have of Joe Son is him coming into the octagon after Royce dropped out at UFC 3, celebrating like he did something. Just out of the blue being the cocky sumbitch we'd later find him to be, and Big John (I think) telling him to leave.

 

Koscheck is a bad matchup for Goulet.

Is that suppose to make me feel sad? :D

 

Seriously though YPOV, was it nessecary to post that? When I come home, and pull up the forum, last thing I need to see is a picture of Don Frye bonning some mutant.
