The Niggardly King Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Pretty good Evan Tanner article here.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 TheGARV.com: Hey, Ken. This is quite a thrill for me. I've been following your career since UFC 1. I know you have a fight coming up next month. Who are you fighting? Ken Shamrock: I'm fighting Bo Cantrell. The original plan was to fight John Marsh but he couldn't get ready in time. So Bo Cantrell was another opponent that we also thought would be a good fight and he stepped up to the plate. So we're going to step up and fight Bo Cantrell on February 13th in Fresno, California. And it's going the Valentine's Day massacre, Friday the 13th. TheGARV.com: Sounds like a horror movie title Ken Shamrock: (Laughs) Yep.
Lord of The Curry Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Shamrock via Cantrell dive, R1.
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Posted January 16, 2009 The CBC piece on the UFC is a bit ridiculous. Claiming Mauro is a 20 year MMA expert, when the sport isn't even that old, let alone Mauro being a completely retard about it when he started (and still a complete retard now) is funny... maybe they extended it to his pro wrestling days, or whenever his voice broke. The more glaring thing is that it looks to me like they took Dana responding to questions about competition and made it seem like he was talking about fighters (The "This is a war" speech). From hearing Dana talk about EliteXC in particular in the past, his rant was similar to that than the issue of fighter pay.
muzz Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I'm watching PRIDE 33 and it's really a trip hearing Lon McEachern call MMA. I'm just waiting to hear Norman Chad chime in with an ex-wife joke.
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 So copious amounts of steroids turns you into Mr Rogers?
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Vader signed a six-match, $400,000 deal with PRIDE. Yes, that Vader, who is pushing 50. It’s an MMA/pro-wrestling contract, and I seriously hope that after his first fight (which takes place I believe on February 15th at the next Bushido show), they put him only in pro-wrestling matches. The last time I saw him, he was very big, very fat, and looked to be in a lot of pain. There’s no way he can go into a shoot with guys who train in MMA consistently and not get eaten alive. I beg all pro-wrestling fans who remember Vader as a big, scary killer to not watch any of these fights, because you will be greatly saddened. This is from a 2004 F4W Nothing came of this correct?
The Niggardly King Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 He was going to face Sakuraba, then Yuki Kondo, but was too injured at the time, and by the time he was ready to fight again, they had no interest in using him.
Mik Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 http://withleather.uproxx.com/?p=13997 Oh War Machine!
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 If only he was this entertaining on TUF.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 If only he was this entertaining on TUF. Yeah, your BJJ teacher stole the show that season...
Lei Tong Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 We all know Blake Bowman was the best character of that season's TUF. Even Matt Hughes loved him.
Youth N Asia Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 War Machine seems like the kinda guy you want to like, but then he shows what kind of meat head he really is and makes it impossible
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Tim Sylvia said he and Shamrock are possible for March I don't think he knows Kenny is fighting in Feb. Oh and he said " Arloski is a douche bag to fans and bad to the sport"
Lei Tong Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I haven't heard anything about Arlovski being particularly bad towards fans before; at worst, I've heard the language barrier makes it harder for him to be as engaging as most fighters. Sylvia, on the other hand, has been described as "okay, but a bit creepy," especially when it comes to females.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Certainly he can't be worse then Forrest Griffin.
Youth N Asia Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Tim Sylvia said he and Shamrock are possible for March I don't think he knows Kenny is fighting in Feb. Oh and he said " Arloski is a douche bag to fans and bad to the sport" Cause Big Tim is so great for the sport with his epic decisions.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Sylvia is still mad over the "how's my pee pee taste" comment.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Also my mom picked me up Chuck's auto-biography for $10, I'm going to give it a read.
Youth N Asia Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Chuck's book wasn't bad. He likes to tell you how badass he is though. Randy's book surprised me a little by how much he talked about cheating on his wife
The Niggardly King Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Anyone read Matt Hughes book?
Youth N Asia Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I heard Hughes book makes him come off as a bigger asshole than you already think he is. Randy's book was good. Chuck's was alright, and Tito's was so-so
Gert T Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 UFC has loaded up Spike with programming today, I believe from 3 pm until 2 am. Kinda of a WM IV-Clash I vibe. Except that the more recongnizable brand is on for free today.
Youth N Asia Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah, it's the usual Affliction/EXC counter programing. I'll watch UFC until it's time for the real show tonight
Lei Tong Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Between Margarito/Mosley, Affliction, a six pack of Stone Arrogant Bastard and a general malcontent fueled by my job search,tonight will probably be another story time. I'm trying to decide between discussing the worse ass-kicking I received as a bouncer, or one of my brother's old stories from when he and some of the other guys used to work at Rocks Club.
