MMA Comments that Don't Warrant a Thread

So, Dana has said that NJ is hosting a UFC event in October or November. I won't say that Serra vs Hughes would take place there, but Serra vs Hughes will take place there.

Hughes is going to get booed out of the building.

Dana confirmed on a conference call yesterday that Shogun is signed to a UFC contract. He also said there's a chance we'll see him show up post main-event on Saturday to challenge the winner.

 

If Shogun shows up, we riot.

Apparently Diego almost RETIRED before the UFC 69 weigh-ins because they thought he had Hep C. It turned out it was a horrible staph infection. That sounds a little... extreme. Is Dana making excuses for that fight?

I love how Joe was talking about how much he loved boxing right before that guy said that he wasn't a boxing fan. Ha.

 

You know you're losing the argument when you say the words human cockfighting.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Joe's such a good talker when it comes to stuff like this.

 

I think ESPN realizes that there's more money to be made with the UFC in the next few years then there is boxing

[Guest]

They were both idiots.

 

Boxing is not dying.

 

Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor were not stars when UFC first came onto the scene, and there have been other stars made since it has came onto the scene.

 

MMA is not just about white dudes fighting each other.

 

MMA is not human cockfighting.

 

 

The whole interview made me sick, to be fucking honest. They both stereotyped the shit out of both fanbases and made themselves look like idiots. Nothing's worse than two older men arguing and saying "my sport is better urz sux and is dead, urz is like dog fiting lolz"

 

How do you grow a fanbase when two dudes that are representatives of their sports come off like total douchebag elitist types when they get an interview on mainstream sports television. And that goes for both sports. ESPN had to have chosen DiBella specifically because he was the typical "scum sucking piece of shit small time promoter that got a good meal ticket and rode to the top" kind of guy. I fucking hate that guy. If I already wasn't a fan of both MMA and boxing it would have really turned me off of each product. To me, it was like "holy fuck these two are acting like idiots"

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Can we stop with all the boxing vs. MMA nonsense? It's getting dumb.

 

 

Sorry, it IS dumb.

[Guest]

Yeah, it is. I'm sick of it, as that's what ESPN covered mostly rather than Rampage/Liddell stuff.

 

It's all fighting, and that's all that matters.

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

I don't think Joe Rogan came off so bad, other than the Boxing will get swallowed comment. He seemed to legitimately be a fan of both. And if you've followed this guy at all, he's not to be full of shit.

 

EDIT: My favourite quote from that page.

Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. Rogan rules!!

How do we all feel about Sherk vs. Franca?

 

I'm not too thrilled with Franca as the top contender for the title but Sherk won't have fought in 9 months by the time this match rolls around.

 

I'm still going with Sherk for the win.

 

It's nuts that Sherk is the longest reigning champ in the UFC (tied w/ Anderson Silva)

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

I think it's gonna be a boring fight and a letdown personally.

 

What's more important is that Rudo's latest man-crush is fighting on that card:

Medical suspensions... whatcha gonna do, eh? Hopefully Sherk is motivated due to the forced time off.

Christ almighty, how recent is that pic?

 

And Rudos latest man-crush is Paulo Filho, has been for some time.

He earned it.

Relative to the other guys in the division perhaps, but wins over Jordan (a late replacement journeyman), Varner (whom he was actually losing to) and Fisher aren't exactly the type to stand-out in a division like LW.

Spencer Fisher was labeled as a top contender in the divison, and Franca dominated him. And Varner is a really good fighter with the potential, and I thought the fight was 1-1 going into the 3rd round.

Fisher still has not fully rebounded from the loss to Sam Stout, and at this point is teetering on verge of "Coulda'-Shoulda'-Woulda'"-dom.

 

To me, it's still a sign of the resurrected division's growth period that a guy with losses to most of the top fighters he's faced is its top contender (without having won a TUF title shot, that is).

So i cant find anything on it, is the Brock fight going to happen Saturday?

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Jesus, did you even try looking at the thread dedicated to the fight?

 

Yes it will happen, against a different opponent though. Still a Korean guy, but one less willing to strike.

[migoli 0]

Well seeing as how its not one of the top topics on here and its pretty recent news, no i didnt you smartass prick

 

......But thanks guy

Have you not seen his fights against Sapp & O'Haire? Against huge pro wrestlers, Min Soo Kim demands hockey fight!

[Mik 0]

I looked into buying Rampage's Affliction shirt that he wore at the PPV but a) they don't even have it listed, and b) they charge $48 for these f'n t-shirts!

 

Forget it.

[Mik 0]

I got a kick out of this.

 

 

Hope some of you will as well.

Marcelo Garcia is going to K-1...

 

'MARCELINHO' K-1 BOUND

 

Brazilian jiu-jitsu phenomenon and multi-time Abu Dhabi champion Marcelo Garcia has been announced as the newest acquisition of promoters Fight Entertainment Group, which hosts Saturday's K-1 "Dynamite!! USA" event at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

 

A longtime crowd favorite on the grappling circuit Garcia will make his mixed martial arts on September 17 in Japan. No opponent has been named for Garcia yet, while the Brazilian, who grapples at 170 pounds, has not decided if he will fight down at 161 pounds or up at 183 pounds per K-1’s currently utilized weight divisions.

Anybody who didn't watch K-1 last night and in need of a MMA fix - don't forget that WEC is debuting on Vs. tonight.

 

There's a nice preview on UFC.com.

 

I've never watched WEC before but I'm gonna record it.

[Youth N Asia 0]

What's UFC's connection with WEC? They own them? I was wondering why another fed was on their website
