Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 I'll be PVR'ing it as one of the roommates has a birthday falling on that day so I'm out testing my liver. Should be good stuff. Interesting to see if Daley can continue his streak of beating B+ fighters. McKee vs Noble should be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 In a move that's sure to please EHME greatly, Manny Gamburyan is dropping to featherweight and the WEC. I think that's a great move - he can probably be an contender. The division keeps getting better and better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 He'll just provide a decent name for up and coming fighters. Barring some major improvements I don't see much in this guy's future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 I agree. I think Aldo/Faber/Brown/Fabiano/Garcia would all beat him and if Curran was still at FW he would too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry, EHME. My negro > your negro Jamal Patterson submitted Antwain Britt in about 30 seconds via guillotine choke tonight. Too bad Jamal's already so old and will never have a solid chin, but still a damn good win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad Jamal's already so old and will never have a solid chin, but still a damn good win. Well Patterson was the 1st legit BJJ black belt Britt has ever faced, and BJJ is Britt's weakness right now as it stands. Good win over a young prospect who has a lot of potential though... I expect Britt to get better from this fight, but he needs to go to a better training camp. Either way BJJ is his weakness right now, hopefully he will work on it.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Oh yeah I have to say something about Ryan Ford as regard to MFC 20 right now. He is loaded with potential, and could be a force to reckon with in the future. But, he won't get better training here in Alberta. There is nothing really Jason MacDonald can do to help him become a better fighter. Ford has the athletic ability, the strength, power and chin to become a top 10 level WW at the very least, infact I'll go as far as to say he reminds me of a young Rampage. You might call it biased because I know him, "somewhat" but what I've seen from him... As far as styles goes he fights like a young Rampage... But he needs to get the fuck out of this province because it's only holding him back. Yes I'm drunk rambling right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BruteSquad_BRODY 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Dan Severn has plans: And the fights he wants to put together would be pretty spectacular for old school MMA fans,”I’ve been in contact with Mark Coleman he said he was open to a match. But it’s depends on what his contractual obligations are with the UFC.” Other UFC vets are also in “The Beasts” sights, “I’ve also had contact with Ken Shamrock’s camp and he said he would do a match. I’m trying to reach out to Royce Gracie and then get it to a thrid party to put it together.” It’s clear that Severn wants to avenge his losses from older UFC cards.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 His article on Sherdog was good. I can see stoppages getting worse before they get better but I hope I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 It was, though he managed to expand on his article a good deal, with more examples of questionable stoppages, comparisons towards boxing and the nigh double standards with which ground strikes are viewed compared to standing strikes.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 So I read an article about black fighters in MMA at ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/extra/mma/news/story?id=3928949 Evans has since become part of a growing influence of blacks on the sport. In December, he became the fifth black fighter to capture a UFC championship (Maurice Smith, Kevin Randleman, Carlos Newton and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson are the others) when he scored a third-round TKO against Forrest Griffin, and he hopes to use his title reign to draw more African-Americans to the sport. So I guess Anderson Silva became a gringo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Silva probably didn't make the list because even though his skin color would be considered "black" by many his background isn't African American/Canadian like the 5 fighters mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Generally speaking, even the blackest of Latin guys will identify as Latin more than as a black guy. Cultural identity > skin color, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
