1st time I seen Jorge was his fight vs. Loiseau at UFC 44 I think…I remember being in awe at this dude’s heart! Loiseau cut his head up in like seven different places due to his elbows …then when he dropped Loiseau at the end of that 3rd round I was like OOOOOOOH!!!..still lost, lol.
Despite all the shit he says about Sityodtong nowadays, he has my eternal respect for everything he’s been thru in life…his ass still getting TKO’d today tho!
Supposedly Jorge Rivera vs Sakara has been scrapped since Sakara was ill during the prelims or something. Osipchek fight was put in its place apparently.
lol Amir… “It’s always tough fighting in foreign territory. I expect some boos. Sticks and stones may break my bones…they just better not throw any…” =D
I dont understand people like that. I can see people complaining about Okami (i like him but can see why people think hes boring since he doesnt take risks.) But Amir was owning that guy landing kick after kick + jabs… those people need to either stop watching or try and legitly understand the sport more…
Lol you know that was definitely either a german or someone who was really anti-Sadollah. Casual fans generally really want to see stand-ups or quick submissions. If there’s casual fans genuinely complaining about boring fights it’s either because they don’t understand grappling or they don’t understand Machida fighting which are two things that definitely didn’t happen in that fight.
the majority of “stand up” fights in the ufc are boring cause they aren’t good strikers. It’s two guys that throw sloppy 1-2s for 3 rounds, because they think fans just want to see a stand up fight or a KO.
