UFC, etc.

[sscalltheway]

Right on man, glad you had a good time. Its the same thing I said, yeah I know everyone says the best seat in the house is on my couch or whatever it may be, but you have to experience at least once. Its a good time and to see the octagon up close and meet fighters is just awesome.

Yea dude, this little Fight Night beat any NFL game, NCAA game, concert, etc.. I have eveb been to.

 

[bumblebee]

It was nice to see Shields get crushed last night.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Totally agree bumblebee, I was telling my wife I think people are just caught up in his hype, but everytime he fights he looks very amateurish in my eyes. I mean he works out with Gilbert, Nate, Nick...how come his striking hasnt improved.

 

[Devil_666]

how come his striking hasnt improved.

Easy answer:

26-6-1 (4 Decision Losses/2 TKO Losses)
Last TKO Loss Before Last Night: 3/25/2000
15 Fight Win Streak: November 12, 2005 - April 29, 2011
Strikeforce MW Champion
EliteXC WW Champion
Shooto MW Champion
Rumble on the Rock WW Tournament Winner

In other words, he's never HAD to improve his striking in order to win/be successful. Same reason why guys like Matt Hughes, Royce Gracie, etc. never bothered to improve their striking for the majority of their careers. They were all successful without it. And by the time they weren't, when people were able to negate their wrestling/BJJ it was too late to add it on.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah your right Devil, I didnt think about it like that. Hes beaten everyone with his ground game and now the playing field is starting to level out because strikers are starting to learn the basics or at least enough to keep these wrestlers/bjj players off long enough to blast them with strikes.

 

[NASEDO]

He went 5 rounds standing with GSP....I think his standup has improved....although its still horrible

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Yeah, but GSP isn't known for his KO power.

That's not too impressive.

If he were to go 5 rounds standing with Anthony Johnson, or Thiago Alves, then I'd be impressed.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Also, anyone see Warrior? Damn, that was a great movie.


Excellent acting, editing, fight choreography...

Loved the cameos, too.

 

[Devil_666]

Yeah, but GSP isn't known for his KO power.

That's not too impressive.

That's like someone bragging that they grappled with Melvin Manhoef and didn't get subbed.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

That's like someone bragging that they grappled with Melvin Manhoef and didn't get subbed.

I actually DID laugh. Out loud.


You see Warrior, Devil? Go see it.

 

[sscalltheway]

Warrior was really good, highly recomend it.

 

[Devil_666]

You see Warrior, Devil? Go see it.

Nah not yet. Been hearing nothing but good things about it so I'm definitely interested.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I might go see that this coming weekend myself.
