UFC

[Burny89]

Think i read another thread on here about UFC and Michael Bisping. How he won that fight tonight i'll never know.

Seems to me like it was a decision to ensure that UFC stays popular in England, just where is Don King?

[Torn-Ado]

This UFC rubbish is never off the air these days.

Every fight turns into a gay kama sutra session. Two big bulky fellas straddling and wrapping their legs around each other.

Disgraceful stuff.

[gilberto_eire]

UFC just went commercial and all that after the initial success....

i loved it at the very start, think it was once a year(??) and rarely was there conflicting codes of martial arts. i.e boxer vs karate ...... thai-boxer vs jiu jitsu

now there all trained in wrestleing/grappling and the outcome of the fight rarely changes...couldnt beat the old ones for entertainment as you never knew what was going to happen next!!.

[drinkfeckarse]

Can't get into it at all. No doubt you'll get fantastic bruising battles like you would in boxing but the majority of what I've seen is too much like watching Olympic wrestling.

I know that's a skill in itself but it's not riveting viewing to a lot of people. Give me boxing anyday.

[bellavistaman]

Think its class, the days of ken shamrock and randy cotoure were best, the reality series type things are ****e.

[deecay]

I love it,UFC 80 had a poor card apart from the Penn fight.

UFC 81 looks good,2 Heavyweight fights Tim Sylvia Vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir Vs. Brock Lesnar which looks like its gona be a quick with for Lesnar

[drinkfeckarse]

Wasn't Brock Lesnar a wrestler? I vaguely remember the guy as a bit of a machine so if it's the same fella, it would be a good draw to have in your company.

[deecay]

Ya,his debut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XLkqQwIT2k

[Boo_Boy]

i hate WWE but when i see this video (especially when he lifts the blonde fella up) it makes me shiver.

i know WWE is fake but what he does must f**k*ng hurt

[Dunny]

Well as you said its fake and they are trained to take falls like that...

[Boo_Boy]

Well as you said its fake and they are trained to take falls like that...

i know that,but like i said it still must hurt..

[drinkfeckarse]

There's no way that it DOESN'T hurt. They are trained not to get injured taking the falls, not to magically feel no pain.

Mir won in about 2 minutes with a leg bar submission. Lesnar got docked a point for punching Mir in the back of the head too.

[passinginterest]

Give Lesnar a few more fights and he'll be a massive force in UFC. He was all over Mir before making a schoolboy error and getting caught by a submission master. Lesnar is an absolute beast of a man and he can wrestle and move about on the ground better than most.

Agreed, was very impressed with his debut, bar his rookie defense for the leglock of course

[deecay]

UFC 82 doesnt look a bad card at all,Anderson Silva(best mma fighter ive seen) Vs. Dan Henderson

Cheick Kongo,Jon Fitch,Diego Sanchez all fighting:)

[bellavistaman]

agree 100%, experience, he destroyed mir before one lapse in concentration. He will be a major force in UFC. The power in lesnar is frightening.

[Morbo]

Power alone won't get you very far unless you have a good defence against all the jujitsu experts out there, Lesner has a weird build, huge upper body but relatively skinny legs which seem to be his akillies heel

[deecay]

The Ultimate Fighter starts Saturday(Team Rampage v Team Forrest) on Bravo and UFC Fight Night is on after it and 83 is on the 24th,a huge month. Bigest Fight Night ever

[drinkfeckarse]

What does the numerical value like 81 etc after the UFC signify lads?

[deecay]

UFC 1 was the 1st event,its goes along like that

[drinkfeckarse]

Cheers. Is there a specific amount every year? I really don't know how the set up works at all.

[deecay]

Usually one a month and then UFC Fight Night which showcases smaller fights,once a month roughly

[deecay]

UFC Fight Night was hugely entertaining.

Nate Diaz beating Kurt Pellegrino by Submission (Choke) at 3:06 in the 2nd round was the best fight imo.

Kenny Florian beat Joe Lauzon

Thiago Alves beat Karo Parisyan

James Irvin beat Houston Alexander (TKO after 8 seconds:eek:)

Gray Maynard beat Frank Edgar

Josh Neer beat Din Thomas

Marcus Aurelio beat Ryan Roberts

Manny Gamburyan beat Jeff Cox

Clay Guida beat Samy Schiavo

George Sotiropoulos beat Roman Mitichyan

Anthony Johnson beat Tommy Speer

[Pike B]

Not one of them would last 5mins on a hurling pitch... Sissys... :D

[deecay]

A Shams fan and a Gah head:eek:

[deecay]

Dana White said Sundays UFC 83 is the biggest UFC event ever.22,000 tickets sold in 2 days and the biggest fight in a while,Matt Serra vs George St' Pierre

[Pike B]

Has Rampage Jackson ever lost?

[Aberdonian Stu]

Not in UFC but he has 6 career losses (as opposed to 28 wins) with 5 coming in PRIDE and the other in KOTC.

Saw his big monster truck when I was at the final round of the Formula D championship in LA in October. It's a nasty looking machine. He was there signing autographs, I was too lazy to queue as it was a pretty long line.

[Pike B]

How big is he in real life bud?

[Aberdonian Stu]

Like I said I didn't see him, except on the big screen at the event. He's only a light heavyweight though. I know that's the high profile division of UFC but size wise that would make him considerably smaller than half the posters on this site, myself included, albeit with a much better BMI.

[deecay]

Hes 6'1 205pounds

[Aberdonian Stu]

Which translates into just over 14 and a half stone. Didn't know the light heavys in UFC were that heavy (it's a fair bit more than boxing) but still considerably ligther than a lot of posters on here.

[Pike B]

Been watching The Ultimate Fighter and Mr Jackson seems like an extremly down to earth bloke. Even if he looks like an animal!!

[tetsujin1979]

For some reason, Ziggy from Big Brother last year is going to enter The Ultimate Fighter: http://www.rte.ie/arts/2008/0417/ziggyinterview.html

LM: Are you allowed to tell us because you can't just mention it and not say?
ZL: I can, yeah. It's something called UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) - it's a cage rage thing. I'm going through an eight-week stint of training to be an Ultimate Fighter.

Oh I hope he gets really really really hurt...

Speak for yourself! That's pretty much bang on for me, and I'm 6'

Are you tough as Rampage?? :D

[tetsujin1979]

Are you tough as Rampage?? :D

I could take him ;)

[Pike B]

I could take him ;)
You are my new favourite poster. :D Mr. Tetsujin1979 Sir.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Ah now I'm not the only one around here that outweighs Mr Jackson. This is an internet forum after all, there's not likely to be too many lightweights.

[deecay]

The best fighter in the world Anderson Silva moved up to light heavyweight(205) the other night and knocked out James Irvin in 61 seconds.No one can compete with him at 185,id love to see him fight some of the bigger names at 205.He said he's going to move between the different weights.

UFC 87 is on the 9th of Augest and theres some big fights

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Jon Fitch

Brock Lesnar Vs. Heath Herring

Kenny Florian Vs. Roger Huerta

And Cheick Kongo is fighting some nobody

[passinginterest]

Feckin Setanta got the TV rights and I don't have the Setanta premium package. I was just starting to really get into it on Bravo, watched the full series of The Ultimate Fighter, was starting to appreciate the different skills involved and then the rights go to Setanta!

Bought Setanta last week,couldnt cope with no UFC to watch

[Burny89]

Anybody see Fedor's destruction of of Tim Sylvia in Affliction? (this gimmick won't last)

The talk is that Fedor and Randy are going to get it on and thats what Affliction are going to try and market their circus on, that and Tito might show up in it

[deecay]

UFC 87 was crazy,GSP comfortablely beat Fitch and it looks like BJ Penn is going to step up to 170 to fight GSP.Delighted for Brock Lesnar aswell.

After football MMA is the best sport in the world,its action packed and so intense and it does not get enough recognition over here

[deecay]

Double post

[drinkfeckarse]

I watched some of it last night and enjoyed it. Lesnar was a beast but the fight I most enjoyed was the Kenny Florian one. Fantastic tachnical display from him. Huerta is one tough cookie, no wonder he didn't want to get into a brawl with him. :eek:

Ya Huerta is my favourite fighter but after a few mins I knew Florian would win,he will beat BJ if they meet for the title

[redtildead]

Lesnar v. Couture, 15th November

Should be lively :D
