Anderson Silva school of martial arts: How to cut weight and run around the ring.
[Reply]

Was Anderson Silva as bad as the press are representing him or is it over-hyped. did not see the whole fight. What do you guys think?
[Reply]

He sang, he danced, he played games.

I thought the BJ Penn fight should have went the other way.
[Reply]

Yeah, he really made me think less of him. I was proud of Demian for taking those swings late in the fight. He tagged him pretty good a couple times.
[Reply]

pretty bad UFC. Silva should be fired. Running around like that, it's b.s. he is NOT a good champion.

BJ did absolutely nothing to win that fight. Every round was close, but Edgar outworked him in every round, got the two takedowns, and BJs face took the brunt of the damage.

Had Penn listened to his corner between rounds 2 and 3 and tried to take Edgar down, I think he could have easily won the fight. Standing and boxing was a poor choice on his part.

I saw the fight as a draw on the whole, but round by round I guess you would have to give Edgar 3 of them. However for one of the judges to have scored it 50-45 is laugh-out-loud foolish. Penn clearly landed more strikes in the first and possibly second rounds. I'm a huge Penn fan but you are correct, he didn't correctly adjust his gameplan.

Have you guys seen the lines for the Strikeforce event? Mayhem Miller's at -2000. Two THOUSAND!

Watch the first round again and take a look at BJs face. BJ clearly did less damage in that round. I agree 50-45 was a bad scoring of the fight, but I could easily give 4 rounds to Edgar. Penn gassed, and thats why he didn't take the fight to the ground. I was really upset when he didn't defend his lightweight title for over 18 months. He had one defense against Sherk after beating Joe Daddy, and than no lightweight contender saw a title shot until Florian.

Holy Strikeforce I'm getting excited. I only see three events for the main event but all three should be a war.
[Reply]

Nothing against Jake Shields but I hope we see another Hendo crow-hop right.

You guys think King Mo won that fight?
[Reply]

Yes. He took him down repeatedly and controlled the pace of the fight. He took a lot of damage but he dictated the fight, got the takedowns and landed some decent shots, in my opinion, thats enough to win. :-)
[Reply]

I agree that according to the american scoring system Mo won that fight. I was screaming at Mousasi to get up and work his boxing. But if there were no belts or purses on the line, which one of those guys would you rather have been at the end of the night? Mo looked like living death after the brawl...

I don't know if I have any bright suggestions for how to deal with that type of a situation, just hate seeing that sort of victory.
[Reply]

Yeah King Mo looked like a mutant from total recall after that fight. I guess I don't like the american scoring system. If you can't pass the guard or seriously damage someone who wants to fight from their back. What advantage do they have? Someone told me these guys are having a rematch in DREAM. I'd put my money on Mousasi.
[Reply]

Yes, He looked like crap, but he won taht fightm under any rules, other than the ugliest Mf'r rules.
[Reply]

crappy card, hopefully ufc on saturday sucks less
[Reply]

Looking forward to the WEC card on Saturday. Henderson vs. Cerrone should be a great fight. :-)
[Reply]

ben henderson owned the cowboy, not a bad card.
[Reply]

good ufc last night. Daley fired for his sucker punch, and dana says kimbo is 'probably' out also. peaced.
[Reply]

The Strikeforce event on Saturday has alot of potential, I can't wait to see Roger Gracie. I just saw the DREAM May 29th show has some great matchups also with Nick Diaz vs Sakurai and Ralek Gracie vs the gracie hunter. As well as some good featherweight fights. Oh Yeah great fight Shogun!
