Official MMA thread

Everything MMA related goes. Please keep the trash talk friendly and do not turn this into one of Sherdog threads, thank you.

Anyhow. Anyone else excited about Tyrone Spong making an entrance to MMA world? He is a massive K-1 fighter so I foresee him doing ok. Chael is relevant once again and crazy phu*kery is bound to ensue. He will go through his motions, talk some crap then get trashed by JBJ in the end. I need Spider to fight JBJ, him and Mauler might be the only peeps in that weight range with half a chance at winning. I am still iffy about Glover but he making good waves in LHW div so far, not to mention Shogun is scared of him.

My MMA background.
Robson (fella on the right) is my old BJJ coach that started it all for me, now I train Sambo/BJJ/KB. I am too old to fight professionally so martial arts are just my hobby. I attend a UFC event once a year, even took my mom last year to witness tito get thrashed by Evans in Philly. She enjoyed it but wanted to see GSP fight; however GSP was already on shelf with technical faults at the time lol. I met Pat Barry, Michael and Anthony Johnson, Joe Stevenson, Lauzon and Sugarfoot Ray Sefo. I chatted with Nate The Great in a hallway of his hotel the day he got cut from UFC, truly nice fella.

Two bad *** cards coming our way:
UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Diaz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penn is back for more *** whoopings

UFC 155 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every fight is a Top Tier fighter in the main card. Looks promising

I don't know how Shane will fare off again BC. I saw Shane pound Mir into outer space live, I really thought that he was going to be the next HW king. I still have high hopes for him, he is a good dude. Recent example, he packed up his truck full of water and Gatorade and drove to the CO fires to drop off supplies for the firefighters.

Very excited about Diaz getting title fight.
Shane on the other hand, hes fought for the gold. Brock was just a bit more dimensional than him during there fight sealed the deal.

Roy himself although hes fluxed between win/loss the dude has one of the best chins in fighting period.
I believe if carwin can plant that 6x glove on his chin just right he can be one of the only if not the only one to put Roy on the canvas.
I believe Overeem was the biggest acquisition for the HW class his reign in UFC will be epic IMO.

I am glad MMA has became what it has, it is a great sport will be amazing what types of powerhouses come from this stage to the next.

Indeed, I want to see what Nate can do against Bendo. Perhaps, he will fare off better than Fe.

Carwin has a chance, puncher's chance just anyone else. If AA can get the job done (as shown in the video) then he can also. He has GIGANTIC meat hooks and Peterbilt power delivery. Roy's chin is one of the best in biz but it's not undefeatable.

'Reem is HUGE pinnacle at the moment, he poses a TON of threat to JDS with his honed striking and power.

On the other hand, Batista's next has been announced. He will be fighting some guy named "Bones" not JBJ.

Hey nice vid with the pitbull there I didn't know for sure if he has been KOed or not.

I want to say that Diaz is gonna be hard to beat, BH tends to take alot of fights to the end and Diaz can surely win a decision beating people up over 5 rounds.

You sir rock! I been looking for these vids all over the web! On a crappy note, I am sure Dana's interweb team will attempt to snatch them off with some Copyright horsecrap.

hahaha, MMA's not a real sport

Castor Troy · 10-22-2012, 04:06 PM

Haha, ESPN thinks different.

Pit bull is to fight in Bellator next, his stock is on the rise again

Sorry I've been around the sport for most 20 years and that was just a bad joke.

If GSP loses to Condit will people say its because of ring rust?

Soares said that Anderson want's to fight GSP if GSP gets by Condit, will that fight actually happen? If so what happens between the winner of Kampmann/Hendrix fight? Do they have to sit out another year waiting for their title fight?

I suspected that you were just trolling because that 'Gun and Wandy pic is only known to MMA heads

.

GSP is my fav fighter, I have a man crush on the guy. I wish nothing but the best for him, no matter what. Ok now that I got that out of the way, lets discuss his upcoming future in a way of Spider and Carlito. If Carlito chose the safe route with Diaz, he might get in trouble with GSP. However, I saw Condit's previous fights and he is a scary cat. We will see next month which way is up.

As for Spider, White has been talking a super-fight for a looooong time now. GSP sorta agreed to rumble at 179 with Silva while the fans want jbj vs Silva. Silva should do well in both cases but GSP might get the business. I do not care for jbj so if he gets crushed by a grand piano in the octagon, I won't lose sleep that night.

Bisping, Chris W., Kampmann and Johnny H might have to fight each other for a little bit if Super-fights start to happen.

I remember the Gracie vs Kimo fight, that's where Gracie yanked Kimo's pony tail clean off.

^Poor bastard fought his little heart out. Barely made it out of that cage alive, pure survival mode the whole fight.
