The MMA thread

completely agree. fuck he wasn't even interested in fighting that fight, much less finishing it

 

He was! Maia is dangerous why put your ass and the belt on the line to open up when thats what Maia should be doing! Makes sense to me!! You are just haters!!

 

Silva is being paid. He needs to earn his salary.

 

The Silva fight was awful, Andy should be ashamed.

 

This. I did not pay for 15 minutes of back peddling and 10 minutes of mockery.

if that last 15 minute jogging display was Anderson Silva honestly trying to finish a fight against an opponent that couldn't close distance and was taking hits each time he tried then...wow. just wow.

 

sheesh. I didn't even notice this!

Silva's gloves weren't taped! this means they likely were not inspected. I don't think anything stupid was going on like is written up in the above link but it's just another bad bad thing about ufc 112.

 

I'm not really into MMA but this sounds all kinds of silly, is there a link to the fight around anywhere? Can't seem to find it on youtube.

I know he's retired, but for those people that still remember this awesome man:

Genki Sudo (16-4-1 W/L/D in K-1 HERO's and UFC if you don't know... but you have to see some of his fights to get the man ) just got his black belt in BJJ from Naoyoshi Watanabe of Tri-Force/Alliance in Tokyo.



But, as the original poster that put my attention to it said... nevermind that, have you seen THIS???

We are all one, peace

 

Genki was DA MAN. He always was fun to watch. To bad he injured his neck

here's another viewpoint on the silva fight

 

I like Greg J, but he needs to lay off the hallucinogens.

 

Alistair Overeem talks about Brett Rogers, Fedor and M-1:

"I think Fedor is not the Fedor he was in PRIDE like so many of that generation of fighters. Fedor is the best and has beaten the best, but he is not unbeatable. Vadim (Finkelstein) recently made comments about me being a "steroid bully," and that's why they do not want to fight me? But then fighters who got caught three times with steroids in the past they want to fight. Or when Vadim does a co-promotion on New Years Eve, the unranked Hong Man Choi can be picked as an opponent for Fedor, who is 20 cm taller than me and 40 kg heavier. Rogers showed some strength, but gassed in my eyes and gave Fedor room to come back because Fedor could smell that! I wanted to fight Fedor but my management knows the management of Fedor very well. There is too much risk business-wise to make that fight happen for M-1. If they lose they cannot play their co-promotion card anymore and M-1 will be over. Scott (Coker) will terminate all bindings with M-1 and continue with me and Golden Glory as he knows we are reasonable and we have been around for 10+ years. I think he got gray hairs from them already (laughs). Of course they are ducking me. I am a risk to their whole organization. Vadim is embarrassing all the Russians. First not fighting Couture and now ducking me. At the same time he calls me a steroid bully in the Russian press. My manager will reply to that soon. But he still wants to fight fighters who have been caught three times using steroids! I will even wonder if Fedor is fighting in June. It always is a surprise party dealing with M-1. Fedor, you are a great fighter and like many other great Russian fighters in history you do your talking in a ring or cage. Leave this M-1 circus and start fighting the best. It's okay to lose sometimes but hiding makes you look like a coward, which Fedor is not, Vadim is!"

So, how long until Aoki starts getting beat and cries like a bitch?
