Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Looks like a Blackburn Vs. Hieron rematch for the belt... Suprised to see Heleno lose.
Mik Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I caught it. I agree that Horodecki has a bright future but he didn't really look all that great last night. That decision could have easily gone the other way. I'd like to see Wagney Fabiano fight Faber. He knocked Lierey OUT. Dude's eyes were rolling back in his head and he was trying to get up but just couldn't move. It was a sick, sick KO one one punch. Blackburn had a pretty sick KO too. He was losing the fight pretty convincingly but got the KO. The card was much more enjoyable to watch with Ron Kruck on commentary in place of Kenny Rice. I've expressed my Kenny Rice hate many many times in this thread but my god, the man just sucks at his job.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 http://www.vimeo.com/755748 Fucking AMAZING Anderson Silva HL. It caused me to revisit Silva/Hendo, and I gotta say, Red Riders Lunatic Fringe is tremendous entrance music.
Mik Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 “That guy (Tyson Griffin) doesn’t want to fight me because he thinks he’s somewhere higher up than me? I just beat a guy that’s better than him. When was the last time he finished a fight anyways against any 155 pounder that was half decent on the ground..oh yeah never.” HATE! Nate Diaz quote, obviously.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Posted April 6, 2008 Between scoring a win with a twister the other night, namedropping Jordan Breen, and saying "I'm the Queen of Spades, I will reign in blood in this division", how can I not root for Shayna Baszler? How can YOU?
Lord of The Curry Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 Because she namedropped Jordan Breen?
Mik Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 In a very well booked match - Kendall Grove vs. Evan Tanner is on for the TUF7 final. Is it safe to say that the loser of this fight is pretty much in deep shit as far as their UFC career? I never as a big Tanner fan but his startling honesty about his alcoholism won him some points in my book. Couple that with the fact that Grove has pretty much always rubbed me the wrong way and I'll be pulling for Evan in this one. Also: McFedries vs. Eastman. I like Marvin at 185. I thought Terry Martin would beat him but Marvin won the decision there. It will be a slugfest, at least.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 I imagine if Grove loses that one he's done as the Tanner fight is likely the last one on his TUF contract.
Youth N Asia Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Damn. I figured Grove would lose to Cote, but the Rivera fight shocked me a little. They haven't cut one of their TUF winners yet, but if Grove loses again I could see it happening...and I think he'll lose
Lord of The Curry Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Really, all Tanner has to do is hit him on the jaw.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 WES SIMS VS STEVE BOSSE, TKO IN JUNE!~!~!~!~!~ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!~
Matt Young Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 I didn't start a thread myself, because I have nothing to offer. But since my MMA knowledge is quite limited, and the sport is gaining new fans at a rapid pace, I was wondering if someone could make a thread with information useful to newbies and long time fans alike. Something with links to sites with info on history as well as new stuff, videos, and schedules for various organizations' televised shows.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Why don't we just start a "FAQ for new fans" thread and pin it? That way somebody doesn't waste their time on things that weren't relevant to to the questions being asked.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c_AXPaXuho Shayna Baszlers twister COBRA TWIST
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 That's what I was saying. Mik? Hows about you start us off by asking some questions.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 RUDO, YOU FAGGOT! SIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMS VS THA BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 WHO'S THE BOSS? BOSSE. Also, GRANDMONT vs. GUILLET. Plus, DUUUUUUUBAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
Lei Tong Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c_AXPaXuho Shayna Baszlers twister COBRA TWIST Quadros is such a fucking hack. "Sidways neck crank?" EAD, Fight Professor.
Lei Tong Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 He's still better than a lot of guys. And a lot of guys aren't given the dap Quadros is, being thought of as some sort of guru despite proving himself to be hilariously uninformed a good amount of the time.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 We can't have anyone getting undue dap. Then it throws the whole system outta order.
Mik Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Carmelo Marrero suffered a "tiny" headcut during his NC this past weekend. And here's a LOL from Bisping:
Lord of The Curry Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 I've read over multiple reports of the Marrero fight and can't fathom why it was changed from a win for his opponent to a NC. As I understand it he landed badly during a takedown and opened up the cut, nothing in the way of an illegal strike caused it. But sweet Jesus that looks bad. May not be the most disgusting cut in MMA but that's got some good length to it at least.
Lord of The Curry Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 "Extra vinegary" Oh Eric Cartman, you've given me one of the dirtiest lines of all time.
starvenger Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 The YAMMA "pit": Something tells me Chuck Norris will be looking for royalties, because the World Combat League "ring" looks pretty similar...
Mik Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah - I'll get the torrent of YAMMA but I don't know... it's not exactly "revolutionary" like they were claiming. Thiago Alves said on TAGG radio that he is the #1 contender, in a way. He's got the winner of the winner of Serra/St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch. That should be sometime around December/January. Should he take off between now and then or schedule another fight? We saw how that worked out for Karo. I don't know.

Mik Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 lol. Yes, it does. I concede that was poor phrasing but the gist of it is he's in line for a title shot. I did a bad job writing that.
