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

Mind reminding me what the problem is with that again?

edited because “what that” makes no sense.

Former NHL Enforcer Donald Brashear to Fight at Ringside MMA 11 – MMA Fighting

Everybody wants to be a fighter. :rofl: I’m actually curious to see this fight. I give him props for being one of the very few black dudes in hockey. :lol:

Why not?
The guy already fights for a living anyways.

Why would you go into a fight cold? Who doesn’t warm up before competing? That involves breaking a sweat.

So…is no one talking shit about Aldo’s cardio?

Is he such a big 145er that 155 would be more comfy? I always hear how brutal his cut is…

Overall it’s hard to keep that p4p talk goin when you gas out early…

Well obivously some fighters have good striking. Homminick has been around ontarios kickboxing circut for years. But for the most part it’s pretty bad…and even the best guys ie GSP can be shit sometimes. Obivously the eye injury had an effect, but he was scared of going to the ground with shields so he didn’t open up at all. Barely any kicks and he only threw one twos. That’s the problem with mma striking…it might not be the person skill level. it’s they don’t want to open up with more than two punches and risk getting taken down.

which is another reason they should change the way they judge fight. Like seriously would you risk throwing one hook if it meant the guy was going to get 3 take downs on you and win the fight?

it doesn’t really make you sweat. just warms up your muscles like tiger balm or A-535. The fucking massage you get with it before the fight hurts more than the fight some times.

i bet on marty mcsorly by ko in round 1

Then he’s going to get ko’d by Wade Belak for an 0-2 record and get cut by dana white.

He went 5 rounds easily in his fight vs. Faber. Also there are confirmations that he was sick and taking antibiotics days before the fight, so he wasn’t in his best condition. We’ll see how he looks in his next fight…also fuck rankings, lol.

oh ok.

Heard he was light-headed but wasn’t sure why. Good news for the champ.

Who’s next in line?

looks Godfuckingdammit not THAT guy…

Just a little light-hearted reading. :lol:

That’s actually kind of an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
It’s nice to be able to track back where the now-defunct organizations’ belts would be if they were still around.

Good post. I was trying to keep up with how the pride titles were mixed in.

Wanna know another fun fact?

The UFC has two lightweight title lineages. When Jens Pulver quit the UFC back in 2002 there was a big dispute and the lightweight division was scrapped afterwards. n that’s lightweight title A

It didn’t come back until Sean Sherk got the vacant belt years later. That’s title B

Everyone knows title B belongs to Frankie Edgar, but what a lot of people don’t realize is the linear owner of title A is…Gray Maynard.

Meaning their last bout and their upcoming bout is technically a lightweight unifcation fight. :smiley:

ohhhh shit

when the hell did Urijah just GET a damn title shot again?

Sometimes I’m glad I’m out of the loop on these sorts of things.

are you why he’s gettin it…when he’s gettin it? kinda confused.

Well damn…:lol:
