The MMA Thread. BJ Penn Didn't Die #HeDeadThough

but i can totally see forrest saying no…especially since its only a few months away. forrest would def need a longer time than that cause recovery + camp.

i need to go watch a cruz fight i think ive literally seen 1 and thats when he trolled scott jorgenson.

Koscheck would like a few rounds with a striking coach. He’s awful on his feet. Great wrestler.

The only wrestler better than Kos in his weight class is GSP, and GSP proved it the first time they fought when he made Kos look like he’s never wrestled a day in his life, so the second time around Kos decided to stand with him, which was a mistake, because Kos is not a good striker.

When I say GSP’s weakest facet is striking, I’m not saying his striking sucks, it’s probably slightly above average, but if you were to list his strengths, striking would be low on that list.

Yeah Forrest ain’t ready to fight Shogun again. Maybe Forrest/Rampage 2 or even Machida, that would be fun.

^_-;

Wow. Anderson Silva is the baddest dude on the planet. He crumpled that dude with Bryan’s 4lk. Crazy.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Am I the only person who thinks it’s kinda weird that Jon Jones just leapfrogged like… 4 contenders for a shot at the title? You don’t see that type of shit unless it’s the WWE. In wrestling, we would call what Jon Jones is getting a “push”.

lol jon jones must have been sucking up to creative staff.

Although Jones warping to a title shot seems sort of weird. Really who else is going to fight Shogun, besides Rashad who is injured and got machida’ed anyway? Rampage? He came off a controversial win over Machida and was Pele’ed by Shogun back in Pride.

EDIT: Granted Page lost to Wandy twice and came back to ko him, I think Wandy was sort of washed up. Maybe not completely but in the latter parts of the rinse cycle. Shogun looks better than ever injuries notwithstanding and Page hasn’t been himself in years. I still think it’s suspect just not all that suspect.

being trolled in pride means nothing right now. that shit was like a decade ago now. i can see the argument why machida or rampage shoulda gotten it but i also see the argument why not…i can see silva saying he needs a definite win from those guys. buuuut if shogun comes in at super level 4 saiyan…you just killed a potential superstar for a while. jones better just troll him wit takedowns all night and get up quick.

I really wonder how it’s possible Franklin and Forrest were in the same weight class last night. Forrest looked like he was sparring with his son in the octagon.

I think Ace is done. He was trying to make his one last push for a title, and had he beaten Forrest he would be in line for a number 1 contender shot against Machida or Rampage, but that’s all over now. And it’s funny, too because I think he would have had a pretty good fight against Shogun. He should probably retire soon, maybe take one more fan-service fight. (Maybe Randy or Bader) He’s been a classy guy and a warrior his entire career, and I wish him well, but there’s nowhere for him to go. He can’t move down in weight and he certainly can’t move up.

^_-;

Who thinks Okami would have done a lot better tonight?

^_-;

yeah but i def am not gonna play on the ground with someone as experienced as shogun. even if he has shit ground game do you wanna risk it? the man literally has gone through wars.

yeah i was thinking he should retire and be a trainer.

Agreed. In terms of fighting IQ and gameplans Rich is definitely up there. That’s how he’s survived for so long in the sport without having a fuckton of natural talent.

^_-;

Put me down for Okami potentially putting on a better show, also. Personally, I would rather see Silva fight Okami again than GSP.

hahaha its dana’s fault for actually sayin sumtin nice bout the tourny in an interview earlier.

lol @ people actually thinking belfort was making it out of the first round. i kinda wanna see chael get his rematch so he can get mashed out and rock’s head can explode =p

As a fan of Shogun I gotta say this fight with JJ is quite a test. Bones is fucking HUGE! I see a lot of the same problems Shogun had with Forrest to be a factor in this fight, and Bones is probably about as big as Forrest, and he has a lot more power in his hands than Forrest does.

As I said, I’m a Shogun fan, but I don’t make excuses for his fight against Forrest. Forrest beat him, for real. Shogun looked past him and got out-worked. Yes he had problems with his leg but if you feel confident enough to take a fight, you can’t make excuses when you lose.

^_-;

Hell, I think Shogun is smaller than Bader, and Bader looked tiny vs Bones. Forrest’s main asset in his fight with Shogun was his size. Shogun got tired just trying to get Forrest off of him, and was completely gassed by the 3rd round.

And before people jump in with the “ZOMG INFECTED LEG!” argument, just know that there’s no evidence pointing to Shogun’s cardio getting MUCH better since that fight, the Machida contests weren’t heavy on the ground work. Also, Shogun has always been fairly easy to take down, even if he was at 100% during the Forrest fight I think Forrest still lands the majority of his takedowns. If Bones takes a page out of the Forrest handbook, he might be able to grind out a win.

I mean, as a fan, I’d much rather see them both try to knock each other out, but Bones has a significant size advantage, and if I were his coach, I’d get him to utilize it as much as possible.

^_-;

Okami would’ve beat Silva… AGAIN

:smokin: Denzel voice my nigga

Deceased

Bro u will get trolled to death im suprised you are still literate from going to that site

That was sick. Props to Silva, give him his props and quit saying so and so would be better. We all wanted to see this fight. I hope he dances around the octagon and win by decision next time.

Anyone got the gif or clip of the Sweet Chin Music? I wanted to see it but I missed the event when I was out getting furniture.

On my phone so I don’t know if this will work: Check out this video on YouTube:
