RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Sluggish, thy name is Filho. It will be interesting to see the replay on the supposed KO.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 That has to be total balls: Filho gets a buy on the KO and Sonnen get's f'd in the A on the armbar. C'mon, didn't that jew ref see Sonnen vs. Babalu? He screams like a bitch ALL the time, let it break. That fight was quite the tough case for Filho as top fighter in the division... is it really steroid withdrawl? Filho was a great fighter, once, no? Or did he never fight wrestlers or strikers or... And since Filho is dropping so much bulk, he should probably be thinking about moving down to 169.
AboveAverage484 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Now that he's off of the roids, it will be interesting to see how he does without relying on brute strength and position control. Today, he did not do so good, but the ease with which he almost got the first armbar, as well as the one he finished with, shows me that he is still a very dangerous, and possibly, more interesting, fighter in this element.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah but he lacked in explosiveness in any area of the game, even in his submissions. Filho is lucky Sonnen clearly doesn't know what he's doing, because he was put in the same position Horn tapped him in and he didn't think it necessary to fill that hole in his game. Filho was so lethargic, no snap in his punches, his reaction time was nil, his takedown attempt was lackluster and he was moving around the ring like he had lead in his feet. He wasn't Clay Guida before, but he was a lot more active and reactive. Very disappointing first two fights in WEC. Zuffa was smart in not having him debut on the big stage. Should be standard protocol if it weren't for the bottom line.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Jens muscling-over guys is quite the sight. The look he gave Cub after the tap was one of righteous indignation, "What the fuck did you THINK was gonna happen?"
Lei Tong Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Jens busting out the Cromado-style grovit on the supposed guillotine expert will likely go down as the best moment of the event. And yes, that includes the Release German Suplex.
Mik Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I sincerely hope that a lot of Paulo's lackluster effort resulted from him getting knocked loopy right at the beginning of round one by that takedown. I heard Henderson and Lindland screaming that he was KO'd. At least that's what I'm hoping, but who knows. The clubbing right hand/german suplex sequence was fucking awesome but probably wasn't as cool as Frank being 2x the size of Valencia in the post fight interview. Nice quick sub for Jens and then he yelled fuck you to everyone in sight. He said he wants a title fight within 3 months?
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Bowles looks and sounds like he was fathered by Tim Kazurinsky. Does he have a nickname? Can we call him Sweetchuck?
Broward83 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Faber looks like a beast...but at the same time, doesn't. Like Joe Rogan or that geeky kid you think you could destroy and then they show up and curbstomp you.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 The way the announcers are talking about the fight, you could swear Faber was winning the fight despite Curran being on his back.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Ok, this liquor commercial, on the bottom it says "Indulge Responsibly". Now, do they not know the meaning of "Indulge" or "Responsibly"?
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Curran wiping the blood on his face with Fabers shorts might just be the move of the show.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Faber's jump knee. So fucking dope. Faber vs. Evil? Bout it.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Faber is a fucking monster for 145... If he dominates Pulver(which I can't see happening), I have to see him fight Kid.
Mik Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Curran had his back for 3 minutes and didn't even sniff a dangerous position. The jumping knee while the other leg was occupied was pretty sick. Yeah - I'm really hoping for Urijah/Kid sometime this summer.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 i think faBer would probAbly take kId fairly easy, in all honesTy.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Was this even on Canadian tv? I mean, I missed it regardless but just wondering. Gots to find dem fights asap. And holy shit on the JAAAAAHMENNNNNN sooplay.

Lord of The Curry Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 By the way my night at work sucked balls but on the way out I thought to myself "This will be worth it if I go home and find out Lil Jens has taken it." LIL JENS. Ya best protect ya neck, Faber.

Youth N Asia Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I just read about Ed having a Brown Belt, either in FightSport or another MMA mag. Another reason why Ed O'Neill rules

The Niggardly King Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 http://videos.proelite.com/46768 Al Bundy on MMA , Really good Is this the one where Al Bundy shits all over Chuck Liddell?
Youth N Asia Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 The Michigan State Senate passed a bill 23-13 to legalize MMA. The house had already passed the bill so it only needs the okay of Governor Jennifer Granholm. Hopefully that cunt Granholm passes the bill so we can get some fighting here
Lord of The Curry Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I as well am 'bout it as Michigan would be the closest thing to Montreal in terms of travelling to a UFC event. But man oh man I'd be breaking that vow I made a while back to never set foot on Michigan soil. No offense YNA it just seems that every portrayl of your state is a shitty one.
Mik Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 The CNBC special last night was mostly pretty interesting, except for the bit on the Tapout guys. There was a killer part during the end of the first segment when they cought up with Randy. He was kind of ignoring the interviewer, and the interviewer asked him if "The UFC needs Randy Couture more than Randy Couture needs the UFC." Randy said he wasn't in a position to speak, but mentioned there are other places to fight. The guy repeated his question, and Randy said...well, not for me. I only ever wanted to fight in the UFC and I don't want to fight there anymore. I guess I can't be a fighter anymore, as he trailed off and looked like he was about to break in to tears. Five ounces of pain has links to all the segments for those of you who weren't able to catch it. Dana comes off both as a genius and as a giant d-bag in parts, which is probably customary.
Brush with Greatness Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Is the WEC show worth going out of my way to see? I mean, I know the results, so are the fights themselves anything special or did it end up being average/slight above average?
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Is the WEC show worth going out of my way to see? I mean, I know the results, so are the fights themselves anything special or did it end up being average/slight above average? I would definitely catch the replay. The fights range from good to great, and there are some highlight reel moments that you'll want to see for yourself. And now for some YouTube greatness:
Mik Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 I guess the Huerta/Florian speculation was a bit premature. He's said he's not fighting for 6-8 months, citing burnout after 5 fights in 2007.
