Cooked Crack

Affliction SUCKS. How much longer could the wait for the main event be? Terrible.

Edit: And it's a horrible main event at that.

UFC still has MMA on lock down, and the cage is better than affliction: pride wanna be.

That wait saved me. Sopcast went down and I had to dl TVU real quick. Though I don't care about Megadeath at all. It was their first event so they get some pass but production was lacking.

The main event was not horrible at all and thats before and after the fight. In a couple UFC the main event is Bisping vs Leben. UFC has MMA on lock down they can give us main events like that. Only good thing is that it will be free. (that card should be good though)

Barnett vs Fedor needs to happen. I'd rather see that than Couture.

The pay out of his fights at 205 will change that tune fast. There is no one for him to fight at 185. Spider isn't done in 205 IMO, even if he doesn't know it yet.

Well he's not fighting for the 205 belt anytime soon. They would instantly give him that match if he asked but as long as Machida is around he has no interest in it.

Fedor just pulled a Anderson Silva on Big Tim. Damn. It was almost like his whooping on Zuluzinho.

Where did you hear this?

Silva has mentioned it multiple times.

Silva has gone past round two how many times?

He dominates everyone. What he just did to a homerun hitter should get him a big 205 fight next unless the UFC is stupid and puts some fool on him at 185 for a title fight. There is no one in 185 that needs to be rushed into a fight with Silva right now.

Lidell, Wandy, or Jackson should be next for him. If he wins he deserves a title shot. Spider is insanely good right now and needs to be fast tracked.

I would have atleast liked see atleast half a round before Silva did his thing. Silva is only fighting once at 205. It was just a favor for Dana (a very lucrative one.)

Silva-Irvin is pretty disappointing since I was expecting some sort of fight instead of a raping. Back to Affliction.

Thats BS. How do they give Burns the match? That should be a DQ. The guy got poked in the f'n eye multiple times.

Make sure you guys watch MMA Live. If enough people watch it, they can put it on actual ESPN.

I've never seen Gordo before. Did you see the fight or just find the clip? I ask because I can't tell if Eddie broke the guy's nose or just gave him a mean heel to the forehead, inducing concussion.

Here's another Eddy fight

Great fight. I wish this would have been the fight we seen yesterday on CBS. Plus a stoppage that isn't questionable.

Damn that was a bad stoppage. Kimbo would have probably eventually KOed him a few seconds later but you never know. The ref was pretty bias especially with those quick standups. I understand people want to see Kimbo stand but Thompson was in good position in alot of those standups. I got to give it up for Thompson's chin, it suprisingly withstood alot of damage.

The Lawler-Smith matchup was pretty good too. Sad the way it had to end. I really didn't appreciate the booing seeing that fight was at no point boring. Maybe the audience expected a brawl as soon as the bell rang.

I feel like I've seen that fight.

In the fight they were high fiving each other during the match. That might bring back some memories.

its hard to say he got "exposed". i think Rich is still one of the 3 or 4 best heavyweights in the land. he's only loss to two people in A.Silva and Machida, no shame in losing to either of those guys.

*Middleweight

If Okami wasn't ****ing around for the first two round Franklin would have had another loss.

Shamrock didn't even attempt any takedowns. Serious case of letting pride affect your fighting. Taking Le on the ground is a certified W.

In your opinion, do you think there is a chance that could happen anytime soon? I am skeptical.

Barnett is all about Japan and I really don't think he likes the way UFC is run.

Joe Rogan is giving away a very unique prize

I feel like I'd want to get the hell out of the tank the second the door closes. Being locked in the dark and surrounded by water doesn't sound fun.

Random news. Al Bundy is now a BJJ black belt.

Talk about a real American hero.

Not complete domination. He wasn't doing much of anything until the blood was completely caking Stevenson's face. Hard to do anything when you can't see. The elbow that cut him wasn't even hard. Unfortunate. But hey Stevenson guys - clear out your sigs.

Were you watching the same fight? Stevenson only got a couple hits in their. Penn schooled him standing and on the ground.

Seriously why are they letting Sean Sherk speak? The UFC keeps sending mixed messages on roids.

this NYE Yarennoka event is reminding me alot of Pride. same atmosphere and pretty good fights so far

I'm dling some of those. Some straight Japanese and other rips from HDNet. HDNet announcers suck so much. This other guy was worse than Trigg.

Back to the event. It's pretty refreshing to see knees on the ground and the ref not running in like someone is killing a puppy.

A few quotes form this thread last year, theres some good stuff in the beginning of this thread, including alot of our rants after Tito vs. Shamrock 2.

2006 Roid Rage Pride Rules Wanderlei would be hard to contend with.

No one gave Serra a chance in the first fight either.

True but I still don't know if Serra is legit. If he wasn't coaching TUF we could actually see him fight.

GSP ain't playing no more. Talk about total ownage. Sick kimura to armbar with like 10 seconds left. I don't see him getting KOed by Serra next fight.

i don't think that guy tapped against Filho, but it wouldn't have mattered. That armbar was in deep and there was still close to 2min left in the round, he was either going to tap or leave with a broken arm

He gave a verbal submission.

I can hear it on my version too. FIlho won that fight.

Why did they let a TV show effect a championship bout? I remember being pissed that Serra wouldn't be able to fight till December, now it's going to be even longer. Are they going to let him keep that belt for a year without defending it? I don't like either of them but damn this match should have been happened.
