StillUnknown Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Nog looks so slow, made Roy look quick by comparison. Nog is 37 going on 63. If he has anybody around him that loves him, they'll never allow him to fight in a cage again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 If Carano does come back, it will be for the pay day. As much as the match will bring in huge business, Gina is going to get worked over pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 This happened at a RFA event last night. The fighter collapsed on his stool after the 4th round, and was allowed to go back out for the next round. His corner, the fight doctor, and the ref all allowed it to happen, disgusting.

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Have you guys seen this ? The impersonations of the voices and personalities are spot on. I think some language may be NSFW Edited April 12, 2014 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah dude, Pouya Rebek is the impersonator and he impersonates a ton of fighters. You gotta watch the Jon Jones/Anderson Silva SAW cartoon from last year, before Anderson first lost to Weidman. In the second vid he does a ton of his impersonations in person on the MMA Hour. My favorite is his Walid Ismail, kills me every time. Edited April 12, 2014 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Yea, the Anderson impersonation is hilarious. On one hand, it kind of sounds accurate. But on the other hand, it sounds like a man trying to impersonate a woman's voice. It's too high-pitched for Anderson. He's high, but not that high. It reminds me of those Telemundo or Univision shows, that have the male Latino actors, dressed up in women's clothes, and trying to talk like women. (and I realize Anderson is not technically Latino) Edited April 12, 2014 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I appreciate all the highlights provided here of the Nelson fight, since I missed that card. But could someone fill me in on the Guida fight ? Through summary, and/or video and/or gifs/pics ? Was it the typical random/awkward/dancing Guida, or did he engage much ?

It received "fight of the night", apparently there were a few good grappling exchanges. On twitter, nobody complained about the result and most seemed pretty relieved that "Dancing" Guida stayed home for the most part.

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That's cool. I was worried he might be in danger of being cut, in light of some recent events in the UFC, and things said about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On twitter, nobody complained about the result and most seemed pretty relieved that "Dancing" Guida stayed home for the most part. It was actually a really good fight. As you say, some great grappling and some impressive throws and slams by both guys. Guida even dropped Kawajiri with an overhead right in the first, although he went for his back instead of following it with punches, which was a mistake in hindsight. But that was the best Guida has looked in a while, IMO. AND Kawajiri was pretty good himself. It was an entertaining fight.

lovetoaster Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 And I meant to watch GLORY last night on Spike...now I am not that upset that I missed it. I am assuming you guys saw or heard about Spong breaking his leg against Saki. Anderson Silva-esque. I have heard some backlash today against the one-night tournaments after that injury, and I suppose it makes sense if that was an injury that could have carried over from the first fight and got much worse in the second one.

StillUnknown Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It wasn't quite as graphic of Anderson's, but that really sucks for Spong. His transition to MMA will be much harder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anderson's comeback fight needs to be an awesome matchup. With all the fighters to choose from, Rich is still probably the last guy I'd want to see him face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 TUF Nations Finale is tomorrow night on FS1: Bisping vs. Kennedy Cote vs. Noke Stout vs. Noons Poirier vs. Corassani And several fights between the TUF contestants. I actually enjoyed this season of TUF. Good prospects coming in to the UFC. Noke and Cote were classy, as were their fighters. Less drama, more about the fights.

StillUnknown Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Bisping over Kennedy by being better at just about ever facet of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I know Bisping is playing heel, but why towards a former special forces soldier? Would like to see Kennedy score a flash KO, although a Bisping decision or late TKO sounds about right.

It was indeed quite entertaining. It was interesting also to see Guida interviewed and "accept the challenge" from Conor McGregor, who apparently had called him out previously. This is the guy that quite a few fighters said could beat Aldo, including Florian, who has fought Aldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmonkforHOF Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Jimmo & Noons get KO wins. Got hone early today to meet a contractor for a quote, flipped on the TV & saw ALL the prelims, even the fight pass fights thanks to the Canadian Sportsnet UFC deal. They even showed Nog Nelson, but only live, no primerime replay. 1st of 5 Canadian events this year in Quebec City, about 150 miles northeast of Montreal that has 300year old fort walls surrounding the city center, or centre as us Canadians like to say.
