yep, can't wait to see penn beat sherk. i hope silva beats jardine, as well. my favorites are: penn, gsp, anderson silva, liddel and cro cop.

gotta love cro cop

yeah, whole country here was crazy about crocop. i stopped caring after he lost to fedor. he looked like a non-interested cunt. dunno what the fuck happened, guess he lost interest, or got old. he looked really bad in the cage lately.

noone can touch fedor.

Then Noone must be really good I guess.

I like to practice Martial Arts, but I dont really keep up with any competitions for it.

ya i practice mma on my pets too..

mma = homo love hug fest on the ground

real men box.

if this wasnt trolling then you know so little

not really

boxing is limited in terms of a combat sport compared to MMA without a doubt and MMA is much more dynamic

but he's right in a way. boxing is much more spectator friendly, well, the majority of it anyone who enjoys current heavyweight boxing needs to slice their own throat fuck it up then try again.

but then again it's all personal taste, I've come to love MMA more and more recently

AXE-MURDERER ftw. dude is a psycho

.

i enjoy the standing up fighting, i dont find the ground fighting interesting in the slightest. Im quite sure there is lots of skill in avoiding getting arm barred or whatever on the ground, but that doesnt change the fact that its boring as fuck for a spectator.at least this spectator. the memorable mma moments nearly always come from when they are standing up, you see far more flair, its just more interesting.

As you follow MMA you'll start to appreciate active ground fighting more although I'd definitely agree if it's lay and pray stuff where no one's really doing much. Active ground fighting where there's clear attempts to make moves and changes of position is as exciting as standup fighting.

Bullshit. Most people are beginning to enjoy ground fighting as well such as good takedowns, submission escapes, submission attempts and etc.
Most intelligent people anyway, there are still a lot of cunts around that will go like 'uhh this is gay they are going to kiss blabla' :D

i thought so too ages ago. cause it looks boring in most cases, when 2 stand-up fighters get to the floor and dont know what to do.

and then you hear about the mythical nogueira. and you see the stuff he does on the floor. the armbars, and ofcourse the triangle choke. and you go like..... damn. i know he lost his strength nowadays, but still some stuff worth watching.

see him vs coleman, or vs semmy schilt.

or crocop =(

this piledrive by sapp is sick. anyone else would go to hospital after that.

in fact Emelianenko Fedor is one hell of a puncher on the ground

o rly???

i'm pumped for ufc 84. fedor emelianenko is probably my favorite fighter. can't wait for him to pummel tim sylvia in july.

is fedor gonna fight in the ufc ?

no, i think he is fighting under Affliction for a mid july event. sylvia left ufc which is how the fight is happening.

Hoping Sherk will get smashed. It's sad how many of his fans on Sherdog seem to think he didn't cheat after failing a drugs test.

i find it rather odd how on the sherdog forums you are crucified for mentioning that sherk roided the test

roids = wh

Bisping is looking strong at 170, hoping he can do some damage in that division. Other than that my favourite fighters are Roger Huerta and BJ Penn.

Watching the ultimate fighter series 7 atm, some strong young fighters in this season.

Bisping went from 205 to 185 I believe :)

And I'll have to disagree. I don't think he looks all that good. He'll have his chance to prove himself against good opposition though.

yea 185, that was my bad :)

my favourite fighter on this card is probably wanderlei. I also hope sherk will outwrestle penn.

Hes not active anymore i think, but Randy Couture is my all time favourite. Great fighter with great attitude.

randy couture actually lost a little bit of my respect for not going in to fight nog in the ufc....

He didn't want to fight Nogueira though, but rather Fedor. I can't say I blame him, although Fedor does sound like a greedy bastard.

now fedor fights someone who nog and randy both beat instead :/

You mean the guy who lost the hw belt a prowrestler?

.

I liked his style too, but he seems to have choked since then. Not progressing in becoming the fighter I'd hoped he'd become.

aint seen him since TUF :[

Exactly. He's won and lost some undercards in the UFC, probably fought in lesser venues as well in-between UFC fights, and that's about it.

Fave fighters: shinya aoki, joachim hansen, mach sakurai, josh barnett

josh barnett is one of my favs also

josh barnett is too much cocky imo, ie that thing he does like hes cutting throats, looks like a little kid trying to get attention from their parents.

He comes across as a very intelligent and respectful fighter. The throat thing is just for show, marketing himself. He wants to stand out. Also he is from a wrestling background, so that kind of stuff is ingrained in him.

yes exactly, as he even does pro wrestling in japan and knows well about marketing himself

his style is awesome and seriously now, who actually almost submits big nog (saved by bell), and SUBMITS yoshida (judo olympic gold)?

Hehe, he usually promises the Japanese press that he'll do some weird pro wrestling move in his fights :)

Dana White is the biggest douche bag ever.

i'll plus for that

<3 Pride.

The Pride GP 2K5 had the best calibre of fighters ever assembled in one tournament EVER imho. It was fucking incredible.

Love the Undertaker.

.

:(

Fedor's fighting Sylvia at 84? If Fedor adjusts to the cage that shouldn't be too difficult a fight for the russian.

Of course, I thought the same thing about Crocop and Gonzaga knocked him out with a kick to the head. Ironic.

no its not going to be in the ufc

Nah, it'll be on the Affliction card on July 19th. Shame he never signed with the UFC but I understand his reasons.

btw yeah i watched pretty much all Pride FC events and watched all WVR Sengoku and Dream FC events. (no soccerkicks though... :( )

There are some great fights coming up this year. I hope the affliction banned card has a decent presentation (they have awesome fighters but the show shouldnt look cheap!)

If WWE produced it, it'd be the best show ever.

Mainly practicing BJJ but I've been doing some Muay Thai on the side also.

Andersson Silva and Chuck Lidell ftw.

i like butterbean

I like Ivan Drago myself, he looks like a real man.

Not into the sport enough to watch every event but I enjoy watching the big names like Couture, Liddell, CroCop and Fedor. Also anyone with explosive ability who can make a fight exciting like Arlovski.

.

i just love how silva gets done, belfort punches really fast etc...

HULK HOGAN > *

emelianenko fedor is the best

predictably and despite everything i'll say crocop^^

saw a fight last night, bj penn vs sherk i think. Sherk got done with a big knee to the face.

Pride has some ignorant rules. Who gets that much time to fix your cuts. The fight should be called if it takes that long.

What specific fight are you talking about? I hate it when fights are won due to cuts and don't mind a delay if it's possible to close it up.

In Fedor-Nog 2 they took a while, but that was because the cut was from a clash of heads.

I believe it was when Wandy vs mirko. PRIDE Final Conflict Absolute

Silva vs. Jardine, what the hell was that :@

That was jardine not being able to handle silva's precission and agressiveness. Jardine shouldn't have tried to stand up right away. He should have laid on his back and taken his chances on the ground. If silva want's him up he still gets like 10 seconds to recover.

dont let him get into his looping punching range because his arms wont stop flying

.

Been following the sport closely since 2003. Lately I only have time to watch the big events like UFC and Dream, but I watch a lot of single fights from the smaller shows. Also watch K-1, mostly the finals and Max.

When I was into it at first I watched everything I came across (got about 400gigs total now). Done some BJJ and a tiny bit of standup, and still do occasionally.

I like The Undertaker.
