Pride FC and MMA

[dunkin deeznuts]

some pretty good undercard fights and leibman (sp?) just looks like a fool trying to play the bad guy.....

[ktothe]

Chris Leben is a complete douchebag. One of those oldschool ones too that your great grandmother used. The kind that gets hung on the shower rod.

[mizanation]

good call almond. i was betting on rampage by KO, too. actually, it's the only fight that i've predicted correctly this year.

LOL same, dude.

[red]

they must have thrown a hissy-fit when rampage won.

Sorry to bring you bad news but Mirko got knocked out cold in the first round against white looking brazilian.

bwahhahabahaahahbahba

From what I've read, they've disowned Liddel because he's anti-pro-white or something. They didn't praise Rampage, but I guess they gave him some respect.

Any doodz know where I can watch UFC 75 online tonight?

[40ozprophet]

how about for free on television... also: CRO COP TONITE! who is excited.

[Ahlvahroe]

am i the only one that thought that hamill should have won over bisping, i had it 30-27. i really enjoyed the card, up and down. good main event.

[scoki]

pretty disappointing actually ^ :/

[fogg]

Hamill sure got robbed and boy does Cro Cop look like he's done.

[lithiumsys]

I missed it. Oh well.

And Cro Cop lost again? What the fuck, man?

[dunkin deeznuts]

hamill def should have got the decision..but tis the old home turf decision....there will probably be a rematch...but damn hamill is thick headed...always wants to prove he can stand up with guys instead of using his strength

[fogg]

Cro Cop looks like he doesn't even care any more. He didn't even press at all after the first round.

The Hamill scoring was just embarassing for UFC, though. You know something's wrong when its a split decision and the one guy that did score it for Hamill gave him all 3 rounds. The odd thing is, the one judge that scored it for Hamill was the only UK judge - it was the two American judges that gave it to Bisping.

[40ozprophet]

yeah, jesus christ i got so worked up after that decision i just walked out of the room. so embarassing. and Cro Cop, man i dont know what to say. its like the first round he was in it, and after that he was just there for the ride. dissapointing. on the brighter side, this was sort of great for Kongo, and i am looking forward to seeing more of his fights in the future.

[Haz]

But Kngo will get Embarassed by someone with a half decent ground game. And there are so many people with stellar ground games in the UFC

[artificialsky]

the whole "pride will annihilate ufc" thing is getting pretty quickly dismantled.

cro cop has been phoning it in, really dissapointing.

[40ozprophet]

well, the other guy besides kongo and Cro Cop who I am really looking forward to seeing more of is Thierry Sokodjou. I wonder when he fights next..

[fogg]

When and where he will fight next is a good question. He certainly looked impressive in Pride.

With how bad Cro Cop has looked, I wonder how Fedor will do when he inevitably fights in the UFC. A possible good point I've seen others bring up is the fact that, in Pride, there was no drug testing at all. Is it possible Cro Cop was just juiced up in Pride? Or is it just a combination of his skills deteriorating and fighting better fighters in UFC?

[Head Ninja In Charge]

Cro Cop is going out like Shawn Kemp (not so much because of weight, but moreso of his "I don't give fuck anymore." attitude).

[thescott]

I was hella disappointed with CroCop. With the exception of his first UFC fight (against a complete chump nonetheless) he's been fighting like a nutured dog.

And although I wanted to see nothing more than Bisping knock Hammill out, I still think Matt got robbed.

[dunkin deeznuts]

reviving this thread....

anyone watch UFC 77 tonight?

there is no one in that weight class that is going to beat Silva...he's awesome..and very humble....I like rich franklin too but silva has his number....

cincy homeboys did not rep tonight.....

[munkyballz]

Just watched a replay of that Silva fight. It's kind of difficult to call Franklin a washed-up fighter, but in both fights, that's exactly what Silva made Franklin look like.

Silva's just on a ridiculous level right now. Not really sure who'd match up well with him, although if Dan Henderson decides to cut, it'd make for an interesting fight.

Been impressed with Henderson lately, even with his lost to Rampage, esp. since I think light heavyweight just isn't the right weight class for him. Dennis Kang, although not in the same affiliation and overall not as good and well-rounded, would be another exciting match, at the very least.

[mizanation]

how was the vera/sylvia fight? i heard vera got robbed.

[poostain]

nahhhhhh, vera got his ass handed to him. really had problem with the range and coulnd't get many kicks in.

with the cage and no yellow cards or green cards, paulo filho would continuously take down silva and keep him down until they are asked to stand up again, repeat and win via ud 9 out of 10 times.

Factor in his broken hand in the first round...

But honestly, as much as I hate the strategy Sylvia used, his Press-against-cage-and-dont-do-anything-else-i-am-a-giant strategy worked very well against Vera who did look extremely frustated by the fact that he couldnt get his range and was unable to move off of the cage. Overall, a decent night. Also, anybody see Heath Herring the night before? damn, he looked awful.

[ktothe]

Fucking finally Bisping loses. Technically, this should be his second loss but we talk about the robbery that was the last UFC. I want nothing more than to see him stop fighting.

[popoki]

What a waste of money this was to pay for. The only good fight was Thiago Silva vs. Houston Alexander. And yes, Bisping should've lost last time also. Can't wait to see BJ Penn fight in Jan.

[ktothe]

I feel sorry for anyone that actually ordered that.
