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

whos ducking? he was told oct nov and finals in jan…they changed it on him. and hes got a broken toe…dude is a kickboxer and he’s fighting a bjj blackbelt…i think people forget how important them toes is in rolling…kicking you might be able to cover it up with some tape. but rolling and trying to sweep def not gonna work wit a broken toe. plus if bigfoot starts stompin feet damn.

The final should come down to barny and daniel the way the landscape is looking,i really think daniel can slay bigfoot as long as he can avoid getting fedored.

good lord how many fights does leben get a year? http://www.cagepotato.com/ufc-announces-uk-show-in-november-headlined-by-leben-vs-munoz/

I rarely say this word but…Rampage is that nigga.

Jones: C’mon son you stealing my thunder…

puts honey on my balls and kick over a beehive and just stand there :rofl:

The UFC should just schedule him for every card at this point…

Does anybody here own Venum shorts? I hear they run true to size, but can I get a confirmation? I wear size 32 jeans, but accustomed to wearing size M shorts usually. Their size S is supposedly 31/32 and M is 33.

Really? I kinda think that Silva might very will kill him in the cage.

Great Piven gif my hat is off to you sir

no fuck that shit…as someone who’s toes actually dislocate and still tried to grapple…IT DOES NOT WORK. FUCK THE HATERS…I ACTUALLY KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE…

you can not roll at all. taping it up doesnt work either cause you sweat off the tape too.

well thank you dr.rock didnt realize all broken toes are the same. gtfo. if your fight is in sept…and you got a bjj black belt to contend with…AND YOUR FUCKING KRYPTONITE IS BJJ…your not trying hold off on training bjj.

yeah clearly that abu dhabi championship really means much…have you been watching this nigga in mma for the past few years. oh boy yeah he’s a ground wiz. dr’s dont give give you a boot for broken toes unless they think your an idiot. they just tell you to tape it next to the other one…they literally say theirs nothing for them to do. just hope it heals up.

… im under the impression winning adcc makes you like the topest tier ground fighter?

so is ubereem really that uber? k-1 champ and adcc champ?

that sounds so ridiculous. like maybe people should be fighting him two at a time in the cage ridiculous.

i used to think the whole “muay thai + bjj” combo seemed flawed because it operates on the premise that, “i can beat him on my feet and if he takes me on the ground, i can beat him on the ground.” but the way i thought of it it seems that if your opponent has the wrestling ability to either keep it on feet or take it to the ground, he only has to be better at one of the two aspects to beat you, where you’d have to be better at both to beat him. or something like that.

kind of mind blowing that someone could actually pull off the “i dont care where the fight happens, im advantaged either way” gameplan off… i dont even want to believe it really.

what sport do athletes play full seasons with broken toes? nfl players are sidelined with broken toes all the damn time, hell i recall a few top tier running backs missing like half the season due to turf toe. bottom line is that you’re feet aren’t really anything to fuck with.

Toe is a big deal for basketball players too. Shaq endured a lot of injuries over the years, but it wasn’t the broken hand or the knee surgery or the back problems that slowed his career down significantly after his glory years in L.A. - it was his stubbed toe. Yao Ming’s recurring toe and foot problems are what ultimately ended his career recently also.

^Also, does anybody have a answer to this question? If not, I’ll just go to sherdog.

EDIT: NVM there are already some old threads there talking about it, but it would be nice if I can hear from anybody here.

I might go to this since it’s in D.C. Now I want to see a Strikeforce or UFC event at the Verizon Center.

Just came across this, nearly had me in tears he is so awkward and they just keep upping it

Unrelated: There was gossip that Van Damme has pulled out of his fight but he posted the following message on his facebook page

“The rumors about Van Damme cancelling the fight…Are just rumors! A True Champion keeps his word, no matter what.”

Always watch Shooto, DEEP, ZST, etc. Urushitani (Shooto 125 lb champ) will most likely come stateside as soon as the UFC makes a 125 division. Mamoru Yamaguchi is fighting in Tachi Palace right now and doing well. Ueda just beat Sato, and most likely will move from Shooto within the next year. His chain wrestling is ridiculous. Tokoro is back in the swing of things. Mizuto Hirota is taking on Kikuno at DEEP 55 for the LW strap. Tatsunao Nagakura is fighting Koichiro Matsumoto for the 145 lb strap in DEEP too. Lion Takeshi is ever improving and actually fighting with game plans now so I expect big things from him. Tokoro is getting his shit together finally and just looking for wins instead of exciting wins.

Ishida, is still someone to look out for. Kuniyoshi Hironaka is finally at 155 where he should have always been and has beaten Nakakura, and recently beat Boku for the Shooto WW (155 strap).

Even though Miyata just lost to Takaya, both are something to look out for. Takaya’s poor outing at SF was still a poor decision. Aoki is still ballin’ and Kawajiri is still top of the heap too.

There’s a lot but apparently Satoshi Ishii (lol retired for USA olympics 2016) is now fighting PAULO FILHO. Filho has fallen off. Ishii is too big and should win this fairly easily.

Another guy who has all the talent but refuses to pull the trigger at all is Keisuke Fujiwara. He has power, some good technique, good takedowns and control and good submission defense. But his fights in DREAM he’s been afraid to do anything and it’s frustrating.

lol apparently im starting to collect random mma fighter swag lol. i got urijah,benavidez and munoz pics signed, a bang ludwick hoodie signed and now sarah kaufman is gonna send me a signed pic for a online dance contest she did…i fuckin lost to the weekend at bernies dance hahaha.

I haven’t followed alot of the WEC fighters but shouldnt Fiho still win? Considering Ishii is still really green and is basically just a Judoka. Also, considering the event is a Brazilian promotion they would favor Brazilian fighters I’m sure. When I saw the matchup I was like wow… feeding Ishii to the wolves.
