Location: Mandalay Bay Events Center, Nevada

It's the biggest event in mixed martial arts history, and for UFC 100, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is bringing out the big guns. Two championships will be on the line when UFC heavyweight title holder Brock Lesnar defends his crown against rival Frank Mir in their long-awaited grudge match, and UFC welterweight champion Georges "Rush" St-Pierre puts his belt up for grabs against Brazilian knockout artist Thiago "Pitbull" Alves. Also, The Ultimate Fighter coaches collide as Dan Henderson takes on Michael "The Count" Bisping in a pivotal middleweight showdown.

For those living under a rock and don't know what UFC is, read below for a quick study:

Soaring Popularity Leads to UFC Milestone
By Dave Skretta
The Associated Press

Marc Ratner vividly remembers driving to the Mandalay Bay Events Center on the Las Vegas Strip.

It was late September 2001, and the longtime head of the Nevada State Athletic Commission couldn't believe what was unfolding. Thousands of people had lined up more than an hour before the doors opened for UFC 33, the first mixed martial arts event sanctioned in his state.

"I'd never seen anything like that for boxing," Ratner recalls.

The sport was still years away from what it's become, a multibillion dollar industry with the Ultimate Fighting Championship carrying the banner. That first Las Vegas show was plagued by problems, including a fight card that went longer than the pay-per-view TV window. As a result, fans watching at home never saw the conclusion of the main event.

Still, Ratner - who later joined the UFC - could tell brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta and a street-smart former boxing promoter named Dana White were on to something. Less than eight years later, the UFC was poised to stage the biggest, most lucrative event in its history: UFC 100 on Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay.

Once branded by John McCain as "human cockfighting" and banned from television, MMA is sanctioned in every state with an athletic commission except New York. Tickets for Saturday night were snapped up in minutes, and some ringside seats were available on StubHub this week for $45,000 each. The UFC's pay-per-view audience surpassed boxing and World Wrestling Entertainment for the first time in 2006 and has been on top since.

The organization has expanded to England and Germany and is poised to take on France and Australia next. There is a fever for it in Canada, and a palpable sense of momentum for a company that just five years ago was more than $40 million in debt.

"All the things going on right now, whether it's UFC 100 or going to Germany for the first time, it's really the way it's been for us the last nine years," White told The Associated Press recently. "The great thing about this sport, it transcends all cultural barriers, language barriers, because I don't care what language you speak, what color you are, what country you're from, at the end of the day we're all human beings. Fighting is in our DNA."

The UFC began in 1993 as a tournament to crown the world's best fighting style, featuring everything from boxers to a sumo wrestler. There were no weight classes, gloves or rounds. There was no judging and virtually no rules. The only way to win was by knocking out your opponent or making them quit, which is precisely what a scrawny jiujitsu expert named Royce Gracie did.

The organization stood on the brink of bankruptcy before White and the Fertittas came up with "The Ultimate Fighter," couching the sport in a reality TV format. The cable show was an instant hit.

Why not call it the MMA thread ? Now that UFC 100 is over the next big PPV is Affliction Trilogy on Emancipation Day.

Fedor vs Josh Barnett is the main event. Most MMA news sites rank Barnett the #2 Heavyweight in the world vs Fedor as the #1 (Undisputed).

His contract with Affliction is gonna be up soon. If UFC passes enough money per fight, you just might see him come in.

Yes fedor coming to UFC would be nice only for the access he would have to beating the few men in UFC that he has not already beaten, to cement him as the greatest MMA fighter of all time.

i saw a yahoo news press release on Brock's behaviour but didnt read it , but they said he was extremely unsportsman like
gotta find out what went on .
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 12, 2009, 11:31:22 PM
Well Lesnar is the man for fedor to beat.

and dana just said (as in today) that fedor should be coming to the ufc.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/15488/dana-white-says-fedor-emelianenko-will-fight-in-the-ufc-brock-lesnar-fight-imminent.mma (http://mmajunkie.com/news/15488/dana-white-says-fedor-emelianenko-will-fight-in-the-ufc-brock-lesnar-fight-imminent.mma)

Still left to be seen. That will sell out any venue in seconds, for sure. lol

UFC 100 tickets sold out before they even went on sale to the public. That was for Brock, GSP and Henderson

Scalpers paradise.

Imagine what will happen if Fedor really ends up in the octagon.

Time to start buying lotto tickets from now to afford a seat ring side.

Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 13, 2009, 12:38:07 AM
lol
even though everyone will predict a Fedor win against Brock
which i also agree with, i think hes the best fighter ive ever seen dead or alive.

I think the real thrill with Fedor being in UFC wont just be to beat Lesnar, it will be to topple all the challengers that UFC has to offer.

Even though he has beaten almost all their greats, once he dominates in UFC, there is no one left that can try to dispute his greatness.


Urijah Faber being in UFC would also be superb. IMO the two best light weights in the world are Faber and Aoki, both monsters.

Post by: Exar_Kun on July 14, 2009, 09:33:43 AM
Money has never been the problem in getting Fedor to sign, not back in 2007 and it won't be now. The problems are the sambo restrictions, the championship clause and the fact that his manager Vadim is clearly looking out for interests other than Fedor's with his insistence that M1 co-promote everything Fedor does.

I'd love to see Fedor in the octagon but even if he doesn't go to UFC there's still Overeem, Werdum, Rogers etc for him to fight.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 16, 2009, 12:13:46 PM
yeah the sambo restrictrions are retarded and a clear attempt to try and make Fedor lose fights.

Not very ultimate fighter of UFC with that one
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: rb on July 16, 2009, 12:45:42 PM
What restrictions ? I thought they didn't want him competing in other sambo competitions even though it is his national sport. What sambo restrictions does UFC have ?
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 19, 2009, 04:41:24 PM
That's what I meant. They would restrict him from competing outside the UFC, sambo included. I think this will eventually be a non issue. In a recent interview Lorenzo Fertitta said he'd be happy to ease up on the sambo thing as long as Fedor doesn't compete within 3months of a signed fight. Seems fair.

Funny though that I don't think they mind when fighters go to ADCCto compete. I think Maia is going or has a expressed a desire to go. One slip up there and you could get your s*** f***ed up by some joint lock.

The only problems now with Fedor are the championship clause and the co-promotion with M1.

your best bet is online for the matches. No local (flow channel) carries them afaik.

That means you'd have to go direct tv PPV (pay per view) or spike tv.

It's available online the next day, so I just avoid news papers, twitter, facebook and news websites until then. lol

Don't want to read a headline about who won and spoil the match!

Welcome to the world of MMA. you'll not be disappointed.

I would like to thank GSP for giving me a win in a jiu jitsu match today. (used his infamous cradle take down)

I'm pretty sure local directv PPV does not have UFC events. If they do I'm an ass because we've had directv for 12 years and i never knew.

And yes, there's a trini MMA fighter, Gary Goodridge. He resides in Canada now but he's trini born. Do yourself a favour and leave it at that. Looking at his record (MMA or kickboxing) is rather...painful. He does take so much licks they could make him Minister of National Security in this climate and he ent go feel it.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 20, 2009, 12:35:36 AM
he has more wins than losses in his mma record.

his kickboxing record is the one that's painful to watch! lol

still, the man fought fedor. Arguably the greatest fighter in the world.

Not a feat many mma fighters can attest too.

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 22, 2009, 09:49:58 PM
Truthfully I don't care that he juiced, I'm sure alot of fighters do. But Barnett has been caught once, you'd think this fool would know by now the time it takes for it to cycle out of his system.

Now he's f***ed the biggest HW fight of the year and Fedor will most likely end up fighting Vitor Belfort as a replacement. I was really hoping the Barnett fight would end all the naysayers who dispute Fedor's p4p status but beating a middleweight won't help anything (more like hurt it).
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 24, 2009, 05:49:01 PM
What do you think of GSP as the best pound for pound fighter in the world?
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 24, 2009, 07:02:50 PM
Well the Affliction event was canceled, then Affliction themselves folded as a promotion. Unfortunate given that they put on such quality cards.

As for GSP I think he's a solid #2. While I agree that GSP has been the guy fighting the most consistently hard fights I don't think he's in Fedor's league. I think it's arguable either way but GSP has shown vulnerabilities in the form of his suspect chin whereas Fedor has none. Other than Fujita and arguably Arona Fedor has never even looked in danger.
Furthermore Fedor is simply I would say more dominating over his opponents. While GSP definitely gave Fitch and Alves no chance they were still essentially ground out decisions whereas Fedor either finishes or turns his opponent into ground beef in a decision war.

I think GSP needs to move up and have some MW fights now and let the WW contenders duke it out and improve a bit. We'll see then how much of GSP's dominance is simply him being able to control guys in a certain weight bracket. Fedor has been fighting heavier guys (sometimes MUCH heavier) for his entire career.

But like I said, it could go either way.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 24, 2009, 07:03:06 PM
Nah, Fedor takes that title.

The medium and heavy weights i would still rate Fedor as best fighter.

Light weight is such a crazy division, I love faber and Aoki but their are just so many good light weights, crazy fights.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 24, 2009, 08:47:29 PM
And now Tito Ortiz is back in the UFC. Holy crap, what a week.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 24, 2009, 09:25:30 PM
I like the new Tito. He looks meaner than before.

Good point about suspect chin on GSP. That fight with matt serra cast some serious doubt on his ability to take a solid punch to the jaw. His legs were all over the place.

Not to say that any good ufc fighter can't lose his composure after a square shot. (matt hughs vs gsp comes to mind)

Would love to see GSP move up a weight class. Nothing left for him in welter.

Going to have to watch some more fedor matches to really appreciate him as the best pound for pound. Haven't seen enough of the guy in battle. Over indulged in UFC.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 25, 2009, 06:52:45 PM
The thing with Serra was more too that Serra is essentially an overweight LW and really isn't known as a knockout artist type guy. If Alves tagged GSP it would be another story.

If you want to see the fight where Fedor got rocked bad check out him versus Fujita. Of course the Randleman fight is where he got suplexed on his head and didn't seem to notice. Check out his fight against Zulu for the origin of the phrase"he got Zulued". The Cro Cop fight is a classic and his fights with Big Nog can give you a good idea why Nog looks and sounds like he tried to fight a grizzly.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 30, 2009, 11:20:09 AM
people believe fedor is a robot

i believe nogs brain is in his knee cap or something of the sort
because that last fight against fedor... i dont know how he is alive, seriously... i thought Fedor was upset about someone kicking his puppy and was taking it out on Nogs head.. its unbelievable, the way Fedor hits and the fact that Nog took those shots.


When randleman drop fedor on his head i thought WOW, that was a beautiful use of grappling surely Fedor is finally phazed.. wait .. no.. is that.. yup kimura fight done, Fedor wins.

That Fujita shot was like... zomg! he hurt Fedor !! (think rock lee hurting Gaara for first time in his life) and then fedor opens about 20 gates and yea... fight done lol.

When arlovski hit Fedor that jump kick to chest and Fedor Stumbled i went GASP!!
then Fedor did that cat punch thing he does... arlovski was unconscious in mid air, fell like a sack of rocks.

Lol @ his fight against choi hung or whatever his name is, his first mistake was that he disrespected Fedor and didnt wanna show respect at start of match... yea... ownt

People think a lucky shot can win matches, well against Fedor... i think a lucky shot triggers his secondary bionic programming and ends the match quicker..
Every time he has been hurt or put in a very comprimising situation.. he ends the match very very quickly afterwards.

He seems to dislike bjj fighters that spend alot of time clinching on the floor, when they do that, its almost like he goes ah good i get to hurt them for no good reason now and punches them in their joints in their abs, kicks them behind the legs he will hit you everrryyywhere except the head just to make you realise, if you stay on the ground defending, your going to leave that fight needing medical attention.

Fedor= Russian Cyborg Android Monster Cat
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 31, 2009, 02:58:56 PM
Well the dream is dead, Fedor will definitely not be coming to the UFC. UFC made him a mammoth offer: 6 fights , 30 million, can compete in sambo, can wear as much M1 Global gear as we wants, M1 Global gets a cut of the Lesnar/Fedor PPV in September on top of the cut Fedor gets but Fedor's management at M1 Global still demand co-promotion and UFC isn't going there.

Frankly I can't fault UFC anymore, that is an insane contract and I can't expect them to do better than that. I certainly don't expect them to be dumb enough to agree to co-promote with M1 just for Fedor.

hahahhaha @ that gif.

and dana's goofy smile just add to the humour

Well if M1 is being such hognorant bastards about fedor going over, what about the inverse situation.

Brok taking a match outside of the UFC and squaring off with fedor on his home turf.

Not something dana would naturally allow but minotauro did fight in affliction so it's not unprecedented.

Had to share this picture of GSP doing what he does best, pwning.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on August 01, 2009, 01:18:07 PM
No, Minotauro did not fight in Affliction. The thinking you're thinking about is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira who is a heavyweight in the UFC and also one of the greatest MMA fighters ever. The guy who fought in affliction is Antonio Rogerio Nogueira who is a top ten light heavyweight and also the other Nog's twin brother. The HW is 'Big Nog' and the LHW is 'Lil Nog'.

And Brock can't fight outside UFC, Dana won't let him and frankly his payday would be peanuts compared to what he makes in the UFC as no promotion can offer the money UFC can. And even if another did they'd go bust on the show. I'm not even close to kidding. UFC100 did 1.6 million PPV. Affliction's shows did not cross 100k.

The dream is dead. Fedor has a market right now that is essentially Josh Barnett, Allistair Overeem, Brett Rogers, Jeff Monson and Fabricio Werdum. Barnett is forever tainted and while some of those fights would be interesting, particularly Overeem, they aren't as exciting as Lesnar, Mir or Carwin.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on August 01, 2009, 03:15:34 PM
yeah, those names a bit confusing but either way, a ufc fighter fought in affliction.

so you're saying m1 is too ignorant to let fedor fight in the ufc and ufc is too ignorant to let Lesnar fight in M1

maybe lightning will strike twice and we'll see another exception being made in the future.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on August 01, 2009, 06:02:05 PM
No bro, a contracted UFC fighter did NOT fight in Affliction. Big Nog is the brother who's under contract to UFC, and he's never fought in Affliction. Lil Nog fought in Affliction, he's NOT under contract to the UFC (and never was).

It's not a matter of ignorant, because at the end of the day it's about business. UFC had nothing to gain by letting M1 co-promote and again has nothing to gain by letting their biggest draw fight on an M1 card. It's easy for M1 to claim they're doing it 'for the fans' when they only want to take and not give but this is a business and Dana is not an idiot.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on August 01, 2009, 08:44:08 PM
Dana said any ex fighter who fought in affliction would not be allowed back into the UFC but made an exception for noguiera. That's what I meant by ufc fighter.

still, such a shame that exclusivity is keeping fedor and lesnar from squaring off.

I'll still hope for a miracle.

just real laughed at this man description of fedor (on looking out of shape), so spot on.

Yeah. He's a $%# bear man, his life is training. It's all he does, he's just as fast as anyone and has unrivaled endurance, somehow he lucked out and is able to maintain a layer of protective fat as well. He's also probably the most dedicated and well-trained fighter in the world.

layer of protective fat yes.

Real shame about affliction too...Atencio seems to be a real fan of the sport, not just a business man milking the sport. The man entered the ring and gave a good account of himself. Hats off
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on August 01, 2009, 11:17:48 PM
No you've still got it wrong. Dana never said that ex-Affliction fighters could not come to the UFC. He said that any fighter signed with EA for their upcoming MMA game was barred from the UFC with an exception made for Randy Couture.

Antonio Rodrigo, Big Nog, came to the UFC straight from PRIDE.
Antonio Rogerio, Lil Nog still is not signed to a UFC contract and fights with various organizations.
Dana has in fact signed several ex-Affliction fighters, Vitor Belfort is headlining UFC103 against Rich Franklin actually. He's also signed ex-Affliction fighters Paul Daley, Dan Lauzon, Rafaello Oliveira  Ben Rothwell and Chase Gormley to UFC.

Atencio is a good guy, unfortunately he really doesn't have the business savvy to run a fight promotion. Affliction made several critical errors. Nonetheless there's no denying that the man put on two fantastic cards.

The man is a beast in the ring but a real gentleman outside the octagon.

The best example, he took his paycheck from a fight and put it into an account and told the bank to pay everything owed by his parents from that account. He did not want them to have to spend a cent of their own money on mortgage, or loans or anything.

Man is a role model true and through.

Post by: Exar_Kun on August 05, 2009, 03:45:52 PM
As much as I'd like to hate on Brock for being classless and generally for having been in WWE, no rational observer can dispute his talent or the threat he represents.

Brock is still very green and without a doubt his stand up has a long way to go but there's no disputing his other attributes. He is  BIG guy who maintains a lot of athleticism for his size. He also has a great deal of power in his hands, even if he isn't the most technical striker. Finally there's no denying his wrestling ability. The guy was an NCAA Division 1 champion and his record in college wrestling was 106-5. There aren't a lot of people in MMA that have better wrestling creds than that. Only Matt Lindland, maybe Koscheck.

Frankly I don't really think Brock can beat Fedor but he is a legit challenger. His total package isn't something Fedor has faced to date.
I don't think Brock is invincible in the UFC HW div either. I think Carwin could give him a good match but the idea that Cro Cop is going to be beating him is ridiculous.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on August 05, 2009, 03:58:24 PM
why is cro cop beating him ridiculous???

Look at crocops mma record + his kick boxing record.
He has losses, few of them though and one of his biggest matches was lasting to a decision against Fedor. That was an epic battle too!

And crocop is also a big guy. and technical and i could see him making Brock tap.

I think thats obviously where Brock lacks greatly. He has little or no jujitsu skill and hes pretty aggressive, things that get you all tangled up and slapping mat hard in the mma world.

Yes hes a big bitch.
But so is bob sapp ^_^

ahah ok i not saying he is like bob sapp ( who i actually like, ahahah i love watching that big bitch steam roll someone into a corner and hit them like a damn Ent, its hilarious)

I honestly was a big fan of kimbo till he got beat so easily.
and ive never been a fan of brock and his loss to Mir was what i expected of him in mma.

Hes very cocky about his win against Mir but he did lose previously..

And that couture win.. steups. lets not even go there.

Id loveeeeeeeeeee to see him fight nog and crocop, before i deem him anywhere near worthy of Fedor.

Post by: Exar_Kun on August 06, 2009, 04:30:43 PM
Why not look at Cro Cop's RECENT record. As in since winning the PRIDE OW GP.

Came into the UFC
Beat a can
Got KTFO by Gonzaga
Lost to Kongo
Left UFC, DREAMbound
Beat a can
Beat HMC (yea?)
NC against Overeem (CC was getting owned tho)
Back to UFC
Beat Al-Turk by poking him in the eye

Sorry wut? That is mediocre. He is not even worthy of a title shot. Let's see how he does against Dos Santos. The Cro Cop of the past few years is not a top ten fighter. I agree, if the old 2006 Cro Cop came to fight he could conceivably KO Brock.
But not sub him. Even making such a statement either demonstrates blatant trolling or no knowledge of MMA. Cro Cop has subbed ONE person in a career exceeding 30 matches. Brock has developed to the point that even Mir can't sub him, in fact Mir got flat out owned on the ground.

If Cro Cop fought Brock I'd expect Brock to take him down and beat the hell out of him. If Cro Cop couldn't even defend TD against Overeem how's he going to defend Lesnar?

Well...wow.
That was something. I didn't think there was anyone fighting at 205 that could make Forrest Griffin look like a third rate fighter. Even Machida's dominance of Rashad didn't necessarily have Rashad looking BAD. But what Anderson did to Forrest was embarrassing. Forrest is still one of my faves but damn...Anderson reminded me of Roy Jones Jr.

Apparently he got his jaw busted up pretty badly and couldn't hear in one ear after that short beating at the hands of Silva.

Forrest is no new comer to the ring, for a man from a lower weight class to rough him up like that. Damn.

Silva vs lyoto yes. Now that I'd pay good money to see.

The local MMA scene is geared too much toward making money rather than establishing a stable community and recognition nationwide.  The payoffs haven't changed much from the time they started the CFC series of tournaments till now.  Pretty sad.

Admittedly, I know very little about the local MMA scene. I'm wondering what sort of disciplines the local fighters have access to training in? I'm sure stand up is not a problem (boxing kickboxing, muay thai) but I'm curious about grappling (brazillian jiu jitsu, judo etc) as well as wrestling (freestyle, greco-roman).
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on August 31, 2009, 02:05:44 AM
well I know from crixx that dwayne trains @ queens park judo club. They've been around since 1996 apparently. So that should be some solid judo there.

http://www.qpjc.org/ (http://www.qpjc.org/)

we do judo in our mma curriculum at tiger system. judo, jiu jitsu, boxing, taekwondo, kick boxing and karate. We've also got a greco-roman instructor.

there is a kick boxing class going on at the long circular gym on some evenings.

Also, at the cascade dance studio, they've got capoeira. (Last I checked, which was a couple months ago)

Can't forget old standbys like Purple Dragon for some Don Jitsu Ryu (Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, Weaponry and Kick fit Boxing)

It's the Baka Survivor!!!  Holee Crap.  Haven't seen him fight in a while.  I love watching Aoki work rubber guard.  He has a psychotic double kung fu move thing that he used to get a two sided gogo from mount on some dude.  I think it was Joachim Hansen or something.

I've been to what I think is the Tiger System School.  Not very impressed but I suppose something is better than nothing. 

Exar, as far as grappling goes, the best art we have down here is Judo.  The guys that dominate the local MMA scene are generally Judoka.

Yes, Hinds does fight at 185 in that area.

both adam and dwayne are solid judoka. Adam being a black belt and dwayne being blue
they both also train at torakan dojo, dwayne also does greco roman. Torakan does ... a version of krav maga.

There are a few other judoka from qpjc and also from the southern academy that are mma worthy.
I know some judoka from qpjc will be following in adam and dwayne's footsteps as they are the top students of qpjc.

There is a judoka in my weight class 230 and up named hashim, hes about 6'6,6'7 bout 250 or so
we call him hashim the destroyer, took top place in heavyweight at last judo tourney, he would be excellent for the weight class in mma.

COngratulations to Dwayne Hinds and Adam De Silva for going to JAmaica and pwning for the red white and black.
Props to Torakan Dojo and QPJC for giving these guys solid foundation for their fighting spirits.

Co-main event: lightweight championship bout
Cleon Bardowell vs Dwayne Hinds (165lbs-170lbs)

Adam De Silva and Dwayne Hinds on there victories at the King of Rock 2 MMA event in Jamaica

Adam De Silva won by Leg Triangle Choke 2:03 Rd1
Dwayne Hinds won by Rear Naked Choke 1:23 Rd1 (new welterweight champ of the rock)

Dwayne had to drop weight to hit the weight class.
Watched him go through the stress of losing the weight, look so small compared to his usual self and still performed like a monster at the dojo.

THe dojo btw, Queens Park Judo Club has now moved to Picton street newtown.

ok i just got the time to watch this fight.
I dont even know where to begin to call what ever the hell it is aoki did there lol
he is too insane with his submissions
but the reason he gave the guy the finger and acted like a dick there was cause the guy refused to submit. so he broke it, your supposed to be a good competitor and tap when you know you cant get out and your likely to get something broken so i wont hold that against aoki.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on January 09, 2010, 06:47:31 PM
That's not why he flipped him off. Because he also flipped off the crowd...and his corner.
Aoki was pissed that he was fighting Hirota, he didn't think Hirota was worthy to fight him. He really wanted Kawajiri.

There's nothing wrong with him breaking the arm, it was Hirota's fault for not tapping.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 09, 2010, 09:17:28 PM
Now that was seriously poor sportsmanship

Shinya Aoki vs. Mizuto Hirota (Dynamite!! 2009) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0S6m2_DM6I#ws)

You can see at 2:35 onwards that Mizuto's both hands were trapped. He couldn't tap out.

Not by hand anyway. A vocal would be his only hope and that ain't the easiest thing to do in mid submission, especially a quick and painful looking one like that.

-1000 to him

Some other "breaking" news. Apparently UFC has sold a percentage of the company to a jiu jitsu sheik in abu dhabi

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on January 09, 2010, 11:10:32 PM
Yeah but that really isn't Aoki's fault.It's Hirota's place to submit, not Aoki's to try to break him mentally. While subs are dangerous, when you go easy on opponents they can take advantage of you, like what Lindland did with Fedor. Lindland knew Fedor would not go hard with his subs so he was able to use Fedor's soft-heartedness to escape.
Another example is Matt Hughes v Royce Gracie. When Hughes had Royce in the armbar, he could have snapped it but he knew Royce would never tap to someone. So he let it go and had to fight until he got the back mount and the resulting TKO. Now Matt could theoretically have lost at some point between and it would have been all because he didn't want to go all in.

I maintain that there was nothing wrong with Aoki breaking Hirota's arm. His lack of sportsmanship AFTERWARD was the fault.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 09, 2010, 11:34:40 PM
Exar, Aoki's pinned the man's both hands. How is that not his fault???

I think it was malice. Judging from his lack of remorse after and the back story, it is pretty clear the guy was malicious.

On another note, how much damage to this guy's career do you think that broken arm's gonna do?

We talking out for 6 months and back to fighting form? Or years?

I gave Matt Hughes huge props for sparing Gracie (Just realised that spar and spare spelt so similar yes), even though Gracie turned out to be on roids.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on January 10, 2010, 10:15:40 AM
It seems to me that pinning his hands was part of the sub or that they were pinned to prevent Hirota from having a means of escape. I agree that Aoki probably didn't feel anything as far as breaking Hirota's arm but that really wasn't his problem. Hirota should have verbally submitted, he didn't even try to.
What was Aoki to do? Let him go? If everyone thought that way submissions would be useless since no one would ever submit.

As far as damage, he'll be back. I mean Mir broke Tim Sylvia's arm after all. Brock broke Herring's orbital bone with a punch. All were back.
And I bet Hughes would have felt like a total idiot if Royce had subbed him after he let him free.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 10, 2010, 11:41:58 AM
How long did it take Sylvia to get back in the ring after Mir broke his arm?

MMA is a testosterone sport know doubt. When all those egos get going its expected to see ape behaviour but I respect a combatant like hughes who can maintain his humanity and be humane amidst it all.

I think GSP would do the same, given the opportunity. Those are two fighters that seem to strike the balance between primal instinct and modern civility. Makes for great bouts without the brutality as seen in the Aoki - Hiruta debacle.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on January 10, 2010, 04:07:23 PM
and faber broke his hands fighting brown
but he will be back in fighting form
heck look at Mir, he got wtfpwned in that bike accident, broke a bunch of stuff and he is back.

Mizuto really really really should have submitted, from the moment he was caught on the ropes like that and couldnt get out he should have subbed while he still had the free hand and then verbally as soon as he was on his stomach. There are many fighters who will refuse to sub and they often pay the price with broken limbs. Man ting.

And as ultra badass as Fedor is, he does have a heart.
He will gut you during the match and then treat you like a kitten afterwards and he never disrespects anyone, he is the ultimate MMA sportsman, never once giving anyone shit talk hes amazing, you would think he would be cocky.. but as he said... he fighting for bread.
How you beating dat, man have kids to feed and a wife to maintain, ha no talking dere.

Sylvia was fighting again 6 months after the break.
Overall I think Hirota did himself a disservice by not tapping. Beyond the fact that he obviously is hurt, just like when a guy gets KOed and fears the KO you've gotta expect that Hirota will be more likely to tap early, fearing something happens again.

Even Fedor is human sometimes too though. I couldn't find the vid in a brief look but he was raging like crazy backstage when Cro Cop knocked out Aleks.

Surprising cardio for a man of his girth. Stand up game is fair to fine and his jiu jitsu is super strong. You might think he doesn't know what he's doing from the lack lustre approach but this is a gracie graduate with a blackbelt to prove it.

Bested Frank Mir in grappling back in 2003 and was sporting the pot gut since then. (Though Leznar makes beating Frank look like an easy thing to do nowadays)

Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson at Grapplers Quest World's Largest Grappling Event 2003 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dj5xMeXybs&feature=fvw#)

He has the most deceptive physique ever. Seriously abuses that upper body weight. Lihixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don't feel a "how" calling Roy fat. Even though he can kick your ass, he's got a great sense of humor about his appearance. Going as far as using Weird Al's "I'm Fat" as his entrance song for the UFC. The infamous parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad".

PS...Crixx, remind me to pass through your dojo @ 6 on an evening. Hit me a text or so, is walking distance.

yeah baego, wait till month end to pass through, ive been sick so havent been able to go to dojo but starting back anew at month end.

Btw, you guys saw Cung Le's first loss the other day (december) To Scott Smith|?
Was a good match, Cung Le was really doing his thing but seemed to have run out of pepper sauce in third round. Someone commented that the ref should have stopped the fight in Cung's favour in round 1 and iam apt to agree but never the less, in the end Scott got the win.

Post by: TriniXaeno on January 21, 2010, 06:52:10 AM
Shit, Cung got robbed there man. He wtfpwed Scott in the first round. Seen fights called off for way less unanswered punishment.

Admittedly....Scott still had some fight left in him once he got back to his feet but that's a helluva chance and liberty the ref took there. Risking brain damage and at the very least, cauliflower ears.

I'm sure Cung is wishing he paid more attention in JiuJitsu class. He would have wrapped this up easy in round one if he had better ground game.

On a side note, with his dragon kicks I can see why they cast him as Martial Law in Tekken the movie, facial hair not withstanding.

I passed by the Dojo yesterday evening. I see alyuh have a femme fatale. Another guy looked like an ex pat from BG. Don't wanna get him mad on the drilling rig. Hip toss into the ocean iymc. lol

i mean, its not a beating to Fedor, i have yet to see what it would take to actually deliver a beating to Fedor. I mean he doesnt even get tired! wtf! its like his matches that go to decision, is purely because he spent the round destroying everything on your body except your head, for no particular reason, his arc generator aka heart is perfect.

Oh and i was watching some more gegard mousassi highlights.. and he is such a young Fedor!
He has that exact same, "iam so ridiculously bored at how weak you people are i cant wait to go home and bunch a polar bear in the nuts" look that Fedor has.
But on a different note.

I think iam taking a break from male mma for a while..

GSP whooped Hardy

Shane Carwin put a world of pain on Frank Mir. That shane is just too much devastation in human form.

Definitely a more aggressive match for Brok, should be more interesting to see than Frank's laissez vair vibe in the ring.

Post by: Crixx_Creww on April 07, 2010, 06:40:29 PM
again, i have tremendous respect for Mir's Ju Jitsu ability.
I have started using the mir lock in class and it is amazing and just in general the man is a beast in locks.
His stand up is great as well, hes a really big guy, next to brock you dont see it but he is really huge and he can hit and move but it seems like brock and carwin found out that the best way to fight Mir.. is to NOT fight him.
Dont stand up with him, dont tangle with him on the floor... just lay on him and or grope him against the fence and he seems to not be able to fight his way out of a non fight.
Like wonderwoman with bonds made by man on her.

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 07, 2010, 07:06:35 PM
I like Mir. He's an MMA star no doubt but Brok and Carwin decimated the guy.

I'm a bit baffled at what makes that "fence lay/grope" so effective.

I see Couture using it a lot too.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on April 07, 2010, 07:18:06 PM
i think they train so much for situations and resistance that they cant seem to think their way out of the opposite.. no situation no big resistance.

Like ok you say Brock decimated him .. but he really didnt
the first match, beautiful lock, brock tapped like a big bitch
second match, Mir was standing toe to toe and if it stayed there, brock would have gotten hurt
but i dont know how he figured out that snorlax technique
then this fence thing, dont know where that came from either
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on April 08, 2010, 12:47:48 AM
lol, in the first match brock had him for breakfast. It was overconfidence from the pummeling Brock was putting on Mir that made him give up that leg and fall victim to the lock.

He didn't make that mistake the second time.

I like Mir more than Brock eh, don't get me wrong. Just that he got dominated twice and unfortunately, he won't get to prove he can really go toe to toe with the big man now that Shane is likely to steal the thunder.

12 - 0 and never going past round one is a helluva statistic to enter into the ring against Brock with. Especially in the heavy weight category.

Werdum submits Fedor! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5W2gJQdUzs#)
:(

BUT

True to form, and expressionless Emelianenko seemed unaffected by the suprising loss at the hands of the fellow PRIDE veteran when asked what he was thinking immediately following his first true professional defeat as a mixed martial artist, stating, “Really, nothing, because the one that doesn’t fall doesn’t get up.”

AND
“It happens that I was made kind of an idol,” said Emelianenko. “Everybody loses. That happens. I’m an ordinary human being, as is all of us and if it is God’s will, the next fight I will win.

So yay
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on June 27, 2010, 12:18:30 PM
This SCREWS Strikeforce now though. Fedor has one fight left on his contract. Who will he fight? Werdum has earned the shot against Overeem, Overeem can't fight Fedor coming off a loss for the title. There's no one for Fedor to take on. Unless it's a rematch.

Truly Fedor gave Werdum's bjj no respect. Understandable given how he tooled Nogueira but without a doubt Werdum was always on another level, best grappler at HW. If only Fedor had kept it standing I don't think there'd have been any doubt.

The fact that Carwin was gased at the end of R1, makes me wonder if he really thought in the long term that he would end it in R1 and just skipped cardio altogether.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 04, 2010, 07:23:24 PM
Carwin says his body seized up, that his cardio was fine. idk about that.

What I do know is that I don't know (heh) what the archetype is to beat Lesnar. That chin, calling it granite is an understatement. Everyone said Lesnar's elementary standup would leave him dead against a good striker. Well he took the hits. I just don't know. Could even Overeem drop him?
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 05, 2010, 08:06:05 AM
well in the second mir fight, Mir was actually beating him on stand up, so it can be done, if you can defeat his take down.
As for his ground game, well a great ground fighter can beat him again, just that Mir seems to be allergic to people lying on top of him doing nothing or pinning him against the cage. Its not to say mir cant fight from his back.. i mean the "Mir Lock" was "invented" from on his back, and it was a masterful lock too.
It seems most likely that it would take submissions to beat him, especially since hes most likely to take people down and sit on them.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 05, 2010, 01:22:57 PM
Yeah Brock doesn't like getting hit, and Mir was beating him in the stand up, but he was nowhere close to finishing him. Brock took a solid knee from Mir and didn't flinch, he took those hammering hands of Carwin and it didn't faze him. Sure he's getting outpointed on the feet, but who's going to last to a decision with him?

As for subs, idk who can sub him. His wrestling pedigree is first rate and I don't think any bjj player can best his brute force at wrestling. A talented wrestler might be able to deal with him on the ground but a pure jitz guy will get manhandled.
Cain is again likely going to light him up on the feet, but then he blitzed on the ground. Couture showed that a top flight wrestler can deal with him on the ground but I don't think Cain is on that level. Barnett maybe.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on July 05, 2010, 01:31:25 PM
Well , we just need another Mir who can handle a snorlax attack on top of him.
Cause as much as it pains Brock to admit it, that foothold knee bar did him in nicely.
Mr F_ _ _ _ E _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ would be a nice match :)
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on July 05, 2010, 02:46:01 PM
As much as it may pain Frank to admit it, that was a rookie mistake Brock is unlikely to repeat.

As for Fedor, blasphemy it may be, but I have no idea which way that could go. It seems to me the strategy he used against Mir in the second fight would work on Fedor. I've always assumed Fedor would simply light him up on the feet before that but nothing seems to put Brock down properly. I dunno if even Fedor's overhand right can do it, there's no way Fedor matches Carwin for power.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread

No, Brock was intelligently defending himself against Carwin. Cain on the other hand was carefully picking his shots whereas Carwin was just teeing off like an idiot, not landing many of his shots properly and just tiring himself out.
Brock's issue is that he can't take a hit without panicking. The man has a chin made of iron but he goes into panic mode when someone tags him. Anyone Brock can take down and keep down is in serious trouble. But if he can't take them down he wilts under the pressure of a good stand up fighter.

Dos Santos gets the next shot. I'm not too interested in him or Cain tbh. I want Alistair to get back in there. He's the man that should truly take Fedor's crown and then rampage the UFC HW division.

Well unfortunately, controversy came at Fedor's next fight rather than victory.

Losing to a stoppage and supposed "knock out" after a brilliant reversal by Dan Henderson from a ground & pound.

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Dan Henderson (HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_pN_RNjfLo#ws)

Judge for yourself.

In my opinion, the hits to the back of the head showed poor form on Dan's part.

I'd have issued a warning rather than stop the fight and give Fedor a chance to get back to his feet.

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Crixx_Creww on August 06, 2011, 12:39:55 PM
Exactly, Herb Dean showed no respect for Fedor's resiliance, the fact that he immediately rolled to not give his back up AND the shots to the back of the head by Hendo.

Very very very bad call on herb deans part.
Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: Exar_Kun on August 06, 2011, 04:22:31 PM
Absolutely not. Fedor was OUT after that uppercut. Definitely Dan hit him in the back of the head when he swarmed him, but that happens all the time in those situations.
Fedor did recover at the end, very commendable, but as far as I'm concerned Herb had every right to move to stop the fight after he went limp from the uppercut.

I'm glad Fedor got cut as well, it's time for him to retire. I really don't see any fights for him anymore, not unless he reinvents himself. Which would entail actually cutting to 205 permanently and finding a proper training camp (not this Russian crap he does right now). Fedor will never do either, so I'd rather see him bow out now before he turns into what Cro Cop and Wanderlei are now.

The real tragedy out of SF this week was The Reem being released imo.

Yes he was out very momentarily, but the man recovered so fast that the only place hendo had to hit him was on the back of the head.

Seriously, it would not be the first time someone got dazed like that and continued fighting very well. People get dazed like that on their feet and recover.

That was far far far too quick a call and him getting cut is nothing new.
The thing that is important here is how fast he recovered and had the wherewithal to roll to protect his back.

We have seen calls that are too fast, like this, and calls that should have come and never came, like brock getting pulvarized against the cage with barely any response, big shots to his face for almost a whole round, by Shane Carwin, and people were wondering why the call never came. Brock then won that fight.

So , bad calls by refs aint nothing new, Italy knows that pain very well in world cup.

You're missing the point, Fedor was out. Unconscious. When that happens the ref is supposed to stop the fight.

Making comparisons to Brock or Nick Diaz even doesn't apply, as both were intelligently defending themselves from the attacks and most importantly when compared to this situation, they never lost consciousness.
The loss of consciousness is the key. Look at last night when Ebersole was GnPing Hallman. As soon as Hallman went limp the ref jumped in. It's good practice. You can't just hope a guy recovers fast, if he doesn't he'll eat a lot of shots while unconscious.

Had Herb known Fedor would recover like that beforehand I agree he could have let the fight go on and never jumped in. But best practice says you jump in when a fighter is knocked unconscious, Herb did that and he shouldn't be criticized for it. Once he made the move to stop the fight he couldn't take it back.

OK, I looked at it again very carefully based on your position Exar and I have to agree.

He was out with that uppercut. It was difficult to see from the angle.

Amazing work for Dan to escape and connect that blow in one fell swoop.

That could have ended very very differently but fair enough. I recant my earlier view.

Really unfortunate for the emperor yes.

To cheer me up, posting a tribute video of the man who is my inspiration in the MMA world from since the Matt Hughes era, when he was just a contender.

My boy GSP makes his return to the ring after a 19 month hiatus due to injury.

Facing Condit who has an impressive record and is known as the Natural Born Killer.

Not the easiest of return bouts but this is GSP.

Yeah boy. That was a bloody fight indeed.

Both fighters left the cage in a mess. Definitely the hardest battle St. Pierre had to date. Definitely got my money's worth.

There is talk of a catch weight super fight between GSP and Anderson Silva. Now THAT I will fly out the country to see in person. lol

Here is a piece on Jon Jones

http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/12/2/3718720/fighter-series-jon-jones-the-judoka

Amazing account of his techniques in the ring.

You have to admire the man's technical ability. Pulling these moves off of UFC big names like Shogun Rua, Rashad, Bonnar and Rampage Jackson no less.

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on May 21, 2013, 08:47:53 AM
Definitely

1) What does he think are the next steps required to get into the UFC or The Ultimate Fighter?

2) Is he ready to take on GSP? The current UFC champ at his weight class (170lbs)

3) Would he be willing to take on Mike "TailorMade" Wade in a rematch due to the controversy surrounding his win.

4) What are your views on CUFF and MMA in Trinidad and the Caribbean?

Title: Re: The Official Ultimate Fighting Championship and MMA Thread
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 13, 2013, 10:37:47 AM
Yeah, that was extreme show boating and pappi showing.

A lot of talk online about him throwing the fight.

Many cite that he did not want any of the super fights (vs GSP or Jon Jones) and losing would be an easy way out.

Personally,  I think he has done his tour and it is OK to cruise now, let Weidman and the rest fight the good fight. Guy's heading to the big 40.

Don't want him to become another shamrock.

I watched an interview with B.J Penn on his website and he said the best thing ever. Silva has nothing to prove anymore... he did what he had to do and honestly I think he was fed up .. IMHO
and I glad for Chris Weidman... but I sincerely doubt he's gonna hold the belt as long as the spider. If he does I'll go back to this very post, view it and insert a smelly show in my mouth...Aside from that
UFC this weekend folks!
