Malapropismic Depository Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Tonite's fight in Natal, Brazil, will be in a time zone that is one hour ahead of Eastern Time in US. It probably won't make much of a difference, but maybe I'm just paranoid about time zones, after missing the recent fights in China and London Edited March 23, 2014 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmonkforHOF Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 A 6 fight deal? Jeeeez. I'm assuming he signed that before the TRT decision. I don't see him fighting again after this fight Neither do I, unless they match him with Vitor in some sketchy country like Belize. If they fight anywhere with a TRT ban, it would have to be a catchweight to allow for the 15 extra pounds of man boobs each guy will be carrying. Here's a question: who's more likely to fill out their remaining contracts, Hendo with 6 or Anderson Silva with 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 People sometimes judge wins & losses too harshly in MMA. Â Especially when it comes to KO/TKO. Â When you are dealing with two all time greats, very small things can determine the outcome and it doesn't make one fighter all of the sudden suck. It's frustrating dealing with casual/johnny come lately fans of the sport who act like only the last 2-3 years matter. Â Shogun and Hendo are both all time greats, and neither of their fights against each other will change that. Â They are also two guys well past their prime, going out there and laying it all on the line. Â I've always looked at MMA fighters not necessarily by their record, but who they fought, the strength of their weight division when they were in their prime, and how they win fights. To me you can easily get a bloated record when the division is relatively weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Shogun isn't so much past his prime as his knees just don't allow him to be the fighter he was in pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Once again Shogun looked physically soft and out of shape. He was shredded for the Te Huna fight! What the heck happend? His knees are fragile, but are they really preventing him from keeping a super healthy diet and biking/swimming? Low impact cardio is some of the best cardio. To go from what he looked like against Te Huna, to what he looked like last night, would take a lot of pizza and sitting on the couch. He had Dan super hurt twice early on, but seemingly didn't have any juice to follow up with ground and pound. Shogun's G&P used to be with Fedor's as the best on Earth. Even his striking looked a few notches weaker. I'd like to see him get in to super good shape and drop to 185, but for whatever reason, his fat fluctuates like crazy.

sherrardsd Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Neither do I, unless they match him with Vitor in some sketchy country like Belize. My understanding was that the UFC policy was going to agree with the Nevada athletic commission so that no TRT would be allowed in UFC from here on out. Which is why I thought Vitor dropped out of his title match immediately. I'm not sure what the story with Henderson is. I love Shogun and I would watch those two fight another 100 times but Henderson didn't look good to me at all last night. He's earned the right to fight as long as he is winning but I think most guys would've put him down during the couple times that shogun had a chance to do so. I think from here on out shogun has a better chance to compete with most people but unless he gets in incredible shape I don't think he's in the title picture anymore. Again though, he is so great that he should be allowed to fight as long as he is winning or putting on good fights. If he wants to be a gatekeeper then I think he should be able to do that.

Â I can't speak to his conditioning but I can certainly say conditioning had nothing to do with the outcome. Nobody would have survived that punch. It was simply pure H-Bomb and it broke his nose. Fight over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight over. I think Shogun wins that fight if he was fuming from the ears. He mounted absolutely zero ground and pound, and lost any juice on those leg kicks by the end of RD 2. Breathing thru the mouth in RD 3, and on the defensive. I think sharp as a tack Shogun doesn't let that fight get out of RD 2. I'm still curious as to how he gained all that fat back in such a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Shogun has been notorious for gassing during his UFC tenure. He will look crisp & clean for a round or so and then start flubbing around. Â He had Henderson just about finished....and then....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I thought Vitor dropped out of his title match immediately. I'm not sure what the story with Henderson is. Â Henderson got the last exemption for that fight because it was so close to the fight when they came down with the decision and they had already granted it to him. But you are right, there will be no more TRT in the UFC, even if they have a fight with no established athletic commission or testing procedures. Then the UFC takes over, essentially carrying over the guidelines from Nevada. So no matter where a card is, there will be no more TRT. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, because we all know that cheaters will try to find other ways. But it's a step in the right direction. Â As fro Hendo, he has fought without it recently, so I don't think it is as huge of a deal for him as it would be for guys like Sonnen and Belfort. But I suppose time will tell.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Anyone catch TUF Nations last night? I enjoyed this season, and I'm really looking forward to Wand and Sonnen's season coming up. Check out the finish to this fight, and turn the speakers up a little. Happens at 10 minute mark, jaw broken in 3 places. Then check out this behind the scenes clip of Sonnen and Wand beefing it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpI_wNdIcP8 Edited March 28, 2014 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
