 Gotta respect somebody that tells it like it is wether or not the boss gets pissed off.  I agree with what hes saying about how Dana hypes shit up, its ridiculous but he makes a ton a money that way.  What was hilarious was when Tim Sylvia had the belt.  Hes so goofy and unmarketable Dana was going out and bringing in the best guys he could find damn near every month to get him out of there.  Meanwhile, Anderson Silva was basically picking his own fights until he pissed all the fans off with that last fight with Maia, running around the ring and not finishing.  Now Dana says its time to go bye bye.

ya, half of me respects him, the other half hates him.. he hypes up the worst fights, he's almost like vince mcman... mma has really turned a bit too much into WWE, which pisses me off.. i just wish UFC co-promoted stuff with other orgs so we could have cross-org fights, ie strikeforce vs ufc cards etc.. that's what is ruining mma.. great fighters are in different orgs and can't fight each other, its ridiculous.. as much ducking/dodging as their is in boxing, at least fighters have a shot at unifying the belts etc.

i lost alot of love for ando when he pulled that maia shit.. sure, showboating is fine once in a while, but you got to finish your opponent, not run :)

i hope sonnen crushes him, that's not going to be easy, but sonnen is legit enough to pull it off.

i hope toney jab-ko's couture too. bwahaha. but i doubt that happens, tony is training like a bum.

haha yea I agree man, mma is being held back by Dana holding all the cards.  Its alot of really good guys that dont get into the UFC cause of stupid politics and who he thinks is marketable etc.  Btw, have you ever seen this guys vids? Hes in line for a title shot soon

who you got?

well i think anderson will win but im 100% rooting for sonnen.. as much as i like sonnen i dont think he is the better fighter..

i got, alvez, anderson, and dos santos.. i can easily see big country getting jds down though and gnp'n him..

this is an excellent card.. oh and i think matt hughes loses too.

who u got?

WAR SONNEN!!

 I actually think Sonnen may win and if he does its going to be a boring ass fight but his style matches up well with Silva and if he can get an early takedown each round I dont think Silva can get him off him or submit him.  Same with Alves and Fitch, Fitch is too good of a wrestler if Alves cant catch him early  I think Fitch will win but it will be boring, g and p just to stay busy and not get stood up.  Dos Santos is a very good wrestler and Im with you on that, I dont think Nelson (who is a jiu jitsu guy not a great wrestler) can take him down.  I think dos santos will ko him with his boxing.  Cant call it on Hughes and Almeida, its going to be hard for Almeida to get the top position on Hughes and thats where he is best, but Hughes has looked terrible his last few fights so idk.   So Sonnen, Fitch, Dos Santos, and who knows.  And if Im wrong this post will say "Last edited by LanceSTS on Sunday" haha.

Fuck, Sonnen looks sooooo much smaller than Silva at the weigh in even though Silva was 184 and he was 185.  Thiago Alves missed weight by 1/2 a pound like an idiot.  Anyway, Im logged in and ready to edit.

let's see that edit :D

amazing fight man.. holy shit.. i tell you what, i was impressed with anderson.. he weathered that beat down and came out fresh every round, how, i have no idea.. he was dangerous as hell for those 15-30 seconds he was on his feet.. then on the ground he had good elbows and good sub-attacks until he finally got one.

insane fight..

no recovering from a loss like that.. sonnen is a beaten dog, he's done in his hunt to dethrown anderson.. i figure he'd get killed in the 2nd fight, anderson must have a fuckload of confidence now after a fight like that..

INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE.

haha, I called everything exactly until the last couple of minutes and he started relaxing and sitting back in the guard.  Hearbroke isnt even enough to describe the feeling that dude must have right now, he won every single round convincingly including the final one, up until the last damn 3 or so min.  Crazy, oh I believe I said Fitch would win but make it a boring as fuck controlling fight haha :)  btw, did you see how much punishment Roy Nelson took and stayed in there? Thats from Dos Santos who koed damn near everyone in the first rd. lol.

nah i missed that fight, i was watching boxing.. i heard it was GREAT.. ill have to find a download for it.

both guys are still legit.. someone needs to wreck brock i can't take it anymore.

Post by: LanceSTS on August 08, 2010, 02:35:41 am
who was fighting? And yea, you missed a hell of a fight, Nelson couldnt take him down due to Dos Santos wrestling so had to stand with him and got hit cleanly 99,999,999 times with right uppercuts and right straights and kept pushing forward.  dos santos finally took him down for the points and started going to the body with his punches. Rogan had the quote of the night on one of the body shots that landed clean as fuck.... He said "thats like hitting a guy with 15 sweaters on in the stomach". lol

damn.. how badly was JDS beat up? was it mostly one sided even though roy kept coming after being popped?

i was watching boxing.. johnson/cloud then devon alexander/kotelnik... honestly, i thought kotelnik won the fight, huge robbery imo.. devon is the champ and kotelnik straight beat him down beautifully, was a pure clinic.

Yea, it was one sided the whole fight for sure.  Dos Santos had a few scrapes nothing major, but you could tell he was thinking what the hell do I have to do to get this guy out of here lol. He even threw a leg kick.  Roy kept trying to take him down though and he landed a couple of shots, but damn that dude has a chin!  

I didnt know those boxing fights were tonight.  That sux when the judges do that shit but it happens alot.

Btw, what did the Johnson fight look like?

ya, was a great night of boxing for sure.. both fights were very entertaining.. devon alexander isn't what people think he is, that's for sure.. bradley definitely going to take him up on his offer to fight after seeing this clinic put on against him.. alexander is there to be hit, EASY.. bradley could finally get a ko on alexander.

140 is the place to be now.. mayweather messed up 147, but 140 is going nuts.. some insane fights will be made in that division of this and next year.. should be fun.

i hope zab judah actually cleans up 140 a bit, would be exciting to see him putting dude's out.. he has the most power & speed at 140 right now.. if he tightens up his mental game again, 140 = cleaned up.

Btw, what did the Johnson fight look like?

johnson actually looked good, he just wasn't 100% in shape you could tell.. but he still brought it, and possibly could have won the decision.. was very close.. he's still relevant believe it or not, he got phased on one left hook btu that was about it, very slick/goo D all night.

  Yea Jab Judah is one of the most explosive fighters Ive ever seen at the lower weight classes.  He gave Mayweather hell until he fell apart mentally but his speed and explosiveness was sick.  Have you seen the vid of him playing dice and fighting on the street with his crew afterwards? Ill see if I can find it if you havent, I think its still up on youtube.

Well, if you watch the way the chic was rolling she was laying down real close to the ground and people get pissed about that 'lay down" stuff and say its cheating.  He lost on a couple of the rolls and tried to take his money back and all hell broke loose.  His groupies actually did everything, he caught that one dude with a left and dropped him but they had that bully mentality that comes from being in a group with him.  I remeber reading somewhere that the kick that got shown clearly toward the end where zab kicked the guy on the ground was the most expensive part of that whole ordeal for him.

ya i'm surprised he didn't get prison time.. i guess those dude's just wanted money though and no official charges were pressed? i hope zab don't slip up yet AGAIN, he could do big things at 140 right now.

yep, I think it was all taken care of with $$$, shocking considering the upstanding citizens involved.  Im with you man, I used to love watching him fight, hes left handed, explosvie, talented and exciting to watch.  His downfall has always been what an idiot he acts like though, if he ever changes that he will be unbelievable.
