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

I just cant stand Hardy for the fact that all he is is a UFC Marketing tool for the U.K.

Beating Mike Swick for a title shot? Seriously?

He talks like he knocks everyone out and he never does.

He also “dares” for his opponents to stand and go toe to toe with him… then he goes for a takedown because he is getting lit up on the feet lol.

i think he got sucked into the idea of it being a punchers match…its kinda like barry vs crocop. they both were sucked into a stand up war and had standup in their mind…and got fuckin troooolllled

I agree that Hardy has to go with 4 losses in a row but damn, I never thought he deserved all the hate.

Sucked in? That’s the fight he wanted, a pure striking battle and Lytle was going to give it to him. He had no business even thinking taking it to the ground since Lytle has a dangerous ground game…one way more dangerous than his own. I can agree that he got sucked into the battle to the degree he forgot about throwing more kicks/knees/clinch work…but he called Lytle out before he lost to Condit…finally got the fight and ate bombs until he got choked. Guillotined off of his own takedown attempt…

i feel bad, cause it was clear hardy was rocking lytle. just couldnt figure out how to keep at it.

nah it was clear hardy was making lytle dizzy…and if i heard correctly he said that hardy hit him the hardest he ever been hit.

lololol clay guida believes in mma math. come on son…just cause u beat pettis dont mean ur better than bendo.

Yea Hardy is a one dimensional fighter who is below average in that one dimension.

Guida is scared of Bendo. He knows Henderson is better than Pettis’s gimmicky (but effective) style.

dude chris said it himself. if you dont believe me, believe the man who was in the fight.

Ever since he got that decision vs. Gono I was on that “FUCK THIS DUDE” shit even tho it wasn’t his fault at all, lmao.

I have no words for that bullshit :rofl:

There’s that gutsy performance crap I mentioned.
They’ve cut guys for winning a couple, then losing once. Losing two in a row against leet competition…Hardy dumps four in a row and keeps his job. Bah. He’s fun, for sure…but c’mon now.

srk…umad lol

I’m not mad because i’m a Hardy fan but I mean c’mon son, dropping 4 fights in a row and still keeping his job?

welcome to be the poster child for your country.

I’m gonna grow a sweet mohawk and fail at everything, but stick around and get paid because people think I’m “entertaining.” Man FUCK that guy, he’s seriously not getting cut?

God I hope that doesnt happen haha. Bisping marketed as the UK it-guy was just damn annoying. I wonder if Hardy didn’t have the mohawk and if he wasn’t from the UK, would he still be as heavily promoted. His hands are nice, but nothing great. And like many have said, he’s pretty one dimensional.

Do they really? haha trash talk aside I’d like to see it and other bad cosplay! There’s also a lot of skinny Ryu cosplayers so I don’t think it’s me. Wait, I AM the lil kid from the recent Karate Kid movie, how did you know! 2 Questions: Are you really racist? Do you cosplay Karin?

Oh wait. Hey guys I found a picture of Wombat!

LOL @ this pic. Actually Wombats, I “think” I remember you from draw the above poster thread?? Anyway, trash talk aside the idea of a cosplay failure thread sounds so lols. Is it like the one on this forum or better?

This.^ Would be fun to see. I really wanna see Overeem in the UFC and perfect first victim? Frank Mir!

Clearly. KO by merciful win too. Every time I see Jens enter the cage, I pray he doesnt break a hip. Was truly great to see him win this one. Guy has a lot of heart.

That ^ I seriously wish Bendo vs Guida would happen. Both really hyper fighters. Wanna see the Pettis Guida rematch too.

Someone sent me this and it looks like it could be pretty useful. http://training.sherdog.com/techniques/news/166607-arm-trinagle-shortcut Has anyone here been taught this exact technique / counter to the roll? Reminds me of a Darce choke, but your legs prevent him from any rolling escape.

Long salty post full of useless info.

I have been saying for a while Bendo is the Obi Wan of the lw’s he is the only hope outside of grey and edgar.

Man I dont like MMA-Fighting.com’s glorifying Lytles retirement just because he goes out on a couple of wins. Great fighters who retire after a couple of bad losses is too bad, but hey the fought and gave/tried to give the fans a show.

I think Lytles retirement is a damn shame, but understandable. I wouldnt have liked him less even if he decided to 2 more and lose though.

what are these mma fighters doing in there lives that they cant be caking off of some teaching/seminar money. like seriously…karate instructors for decades have been fine living off of teaching just 1 school. what makes these guys like jen just not walk away…is it really not the money?

^ And that was useful? Think a bit before you post.

Maynard - Edgar can’t come soon enough. Hope it’s as big a war as last time. Edgar said he’d like for his next title defense to be in NY. I’d love to see this. I still don’t get why NY of all places won’t allow big MMA events like UFC to happen there.

Didn’t know the BJ Penn Condit october bout was agreed on via twitter. http://bit.ly/p2r0HL Not a big fan of either tbh, but I hope Penn wins this one. Never been a fan of Condit. But glad he’s getting such a good fight!

And Maxy, I agree but them glorifying is just their way of taking a different route and trying to get more press, with all those other mma sites out there. He had a good run. He probably had a few more years left in him, but it’s great to see him go out on a win and not getting his skull cracked open.
