The MMA thread

I was cheering for the Brit up until that illegal knee... but I still can't cheer for my Puerto Rican cuz. Dude's way past his prime, time wrap it up bee!

 

I kinda wish they'd DQ'd him for the knee and rescheduled the fight.

Also: BJ, please retire.

 

From what I've read, Fukuda, the Asian dude who got robbed by the judges last night, is getting treated as if he won by Dana. Win bonus money and all. So we should be seeing Fukuda moving up the ranks.

In other news:


In the words of The Mad Rapper, let's get hype son!

 

That Shogun vs Jones trailer is easily the best piece of promo material the UFC has ever put together.

 

BJ...I mean, wtf, 3 rounds you can't keep it up?
George snuffalufagus - wtf...learn to wrestle.

 

Naw son, the trailer for GSP vs Kosheck 2 was hype.

 

I love this next vid

That Cung Le style kick Rogan does at the end is badass too.

 

I second that

 

Man, Manhoef had some awesome hips! I really do like seeing him improve....you would think being at ATT he would have better Jits though.

 

UFC 128 in-depth

 

I think tonight I will record some half guard passes gi and nogi. Anything anybody would like to see?

 

Man, that stuck in the mud commentator kinda pisses me off. It's almost as if he has something against Jones from the start

 

Man, I broke a sweat just watching

 

^Lol

Was reading this article earlier about how it seems like GSP doesn't really want to fight Anderson Silva
http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/03/10/if-georges-st-pierre-doesnt-want-anderson-silva-fight-should/

Personally, I don't blame him. Imho GSP has re-assessed the Anderson Silva superfight and realized that Anderson Silva would have too many advantages. It's an uphill battle for GSP unless Anderson Silva come down a bit in weight and they could meet halfway. A catchweight fight could give either fighter the copout excuse that either one of them would need to have in their backpocket in case they lose.

GSP still has to get past Shields and people keep looking past Shields like he's not going to pose a problem for GSP... in the end my money's on GSP but Shields could shock all of us.

 

Very informative interview

 

indeed shields has lethal grappling. Kosheck actually managed to take down gsp a few times, he couldn't keep him there for long but he still did it. Jake Shields might be able to do the same, and if so it could be dangerous for GSP. Its one of GSPs most dangerous fights and I really really really want to see it.

 

Mauricio Rua VS Cris Cyborg Santos

 

Wow, besides the earthquake, lots of mma news from Japan. Sengoku is dead. SRC lost their sponsor. SHOOTO is in a HUGE tax scandal along with Pancrase and a bunch of other organizations.
